PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

That story is so old they are referring to them as Law Lords ffs!

Different rules for costs under the Civil Procedure Rules and Arbitration Act 1996 (which I think this hearing is subject to). The issue of proportionality not being relevant to the latter, for example.

Successful litigants can be liable for some or all of the costs if their conduct merits it, especially if they’ve rejected offers to settle which are more advantageous than what they win, but that won’t be the case here if we’re successful, as our defence will be founded on protecting our reputation and no settlement would satisfy that aspiration.

Just because it’s old doesn’t negate the legality! Ask King John :-)

Hope you’re well pal.
 
The time for suing any party will be after the verdict. If we we are found innocent and a major voice still says we are guilty that’s when City will do something. Mr Tebas is a prime candidate as he can’t help himself.

I think there’s a good chance that we’ll be awarded costs, or a decent proportion at least, if we win. The idea that we’re going to start suing all of our detractors is fanciful at best though, as you say.

Tolmie did mention City intend to sue the PL for reputational damage though nobody can know that for sure.
 
One daft possibility that occurred to me this morning (won't happen, but neither will most of the bollocks I've read from both sides of such an extreme argument)

City find themselves 2 points clear with just a few games remaining, but are then docked 6 points, despite being cleared of all the major charges, aside from non cooperation

City immediately appeal on the grounds that they didn't gain a sporting advantage, but in the meantime Arsenal are crowned PL Champions.

Oh the irony of Arsenal having a big asterisk and an anti climatic trophy parade.

That earring doesn’t suit Stam.

This is what it's like from all angles every single day. Red dot is me.

"It took time to get the cash together" I think is my favourite rag response so far.

You will never ever win any argument ever that is about City cheating right now.

Tell them that their pain makes the titles even better.

If that's what the senior juniors are doing, what exactly is the job of the junior seniors? Just to sit around and drink cappuccinos with croissants?

Probably to take the cross examination plans off the senior juniors and carry out the the cross examination itself

Costs will go with the loser. If City won on everything there is a good chance they would get what is known as “indemnity costs” of 80-90% back. A split decision would make the costs decision trickier. Everton got very lucky on their costs IMO - given their big loss they were lucky to only pay about half of PLs costs
 
So - Having had a bit of a shitty day at work, I decided to sit down last night and watch the ITV news at 1830hrs.
City story comes on. They head to the Etihad where they interview 3 members of public. 2 say that it's basically a load of hot air and then some scruffy ginge c... says "well its not fair, they have bought all the best players"

At this point I took the dog for a long walk and chuckled to myself about how fucking thick some people are and how easily the media can influence them.

On another note about city seeking redress after all this. I personally would like them to but I actually thin kwe will just go on doing what we do quietly without making to much noise. Winning trophies and being one of the most successful clubs in the world.

Anyone up for Barrow away?
