PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

Probably true, but he will be up in front of retired judges, presumably, who have been doing things that way for longer than he has. Make the old dears feel comfortable is my advice instead of having them floundering in front of a computer screen much to everyone's amusement ....

You're talking about an age group where many had to learn how to assemble their own computers to save money. Bowlers used to do a roaring trade in those days, not that I saw many future judges and K.Cs buying 16 mb memory cards to save a few quid.

I wonder if the PL will call the company we buy our brown envelopes from as witnesses. Must be a fucking lot of transactions between us.

I wonder if we pay the brown envelopes supplier with brown envelopes?

Assuming he’s a witness. It’s perfectly conceivable he isn’t. Difficult to tell in the absence of any particulars around the evidential basis for the charges.

I couldn’t see why he would be a witness.

I think some misunderstand this case and expect Lord Pannick to put him on the stand and try and break the story of why PSR and the companies that control it.

This seems to me to be different to what the case is and I think our witness evidence etc. will be showing we are innocent.

The other may come a different day but I expect not.

Completely deluded. It really beggars belief

Why ask for all the PL correspondence if you aren't going to question them about it?

The only disclosure from the PL would have been related to specific points - this idea that City asked for “all PL correspondence” has always been nonsense. Just doesn’t work like that.
 
Seeing some people asking if city's evidence at the beginning is so strong could charges be dropped.
Different scenario but hopefully might produce some optimism.
I was in crown court on a 2 week trial (as the accused) on day 1, after the jury was sworn in, the prosecution presented its case against me and others. The judge called up the prosecution barrister and directly asked him what the case was against me. The barrister replayed a video of my actions, the judge pulled a de-niro type face saying 'really'.
I still had to go through all the process, cross examination and everything else.
The judge stated in his closing speech to the jury to basically not to find me guilty. The jury found me not guilty.
Think the point I'm making is even if it's a slam dunk for city on day one, I imagine the whole process will have to be completed and concluded.
 
Media are in overdrive. Creaming themselves. "All our players are now plotting their exit, we will be banned from every competition, and will be lucky if the local sunday league will accept us...

Having asked for all the emails, texts and Whatsapp messages in the PL's possession that mention City from 2008 onwards I would imagine it's very, very likely that Masters will be asked to explain the content of some of those, at least.

If he hasn’t provided a witness statement then the default position is that he won’t give evidence.

Might undermine the PL case if he doesn’t, of course. Like I say, difficult to know in the absence of sight of the evidence the PL is relying upon.

City employ something like 1300 people, probably 90% of these are just normal people with mortgages and families to feed

Yep… These wankers want the club to be crushed into oblivion and these ‘normal people’ to lose their livelihoods

I think the Rags have clearly demonstrated how they respect ‘normal people with mortgage’s’ etc….

Just read that, must have a work experience kid in this week at the Telegraph. He got 10/10 for spelling bless him.

Read that also. Sets new standards of total bollocks. They must be worried. The Telegraph Sports section is like a Liverpool fanzine and always good for a laugh.
