I'm pretty sure I read those names somewhere before the arbitration kicked off? They certainly sound familiar and I remember looking them up. Can't find it now, though. Maybe getting old .....

One thing is for sure, the chance of an appeal being heard is next to zero with those guys involved.

There you go. Not going crazy yet :)

Really informative read that - and, unfortunately, explains well the challenge that CITY would have had in 'winning the day'.

Particularly unlucky that the same person chaired our case as chaired the Saracen's one and that there are such clear parallels for that chair to draw on - precedents that he made. Or were there not other options?

Doesn't promote confidence in a positive outcome and (if we are unsuccessful) when the announcement is made there will be 100s more tweets etc. jumping on an anti-CITY bandwagon. The messages will all be about us failing and 'being guilty' - even though we cannot be 'guilty' as we brought the case

I’m sure I read/heard somewhere that City were supportive of appropriate controls and didn’t want a free-for-all. It was the discriminatory aspects of the rules and also the process of assessment that we were objecting to - especially the nominated assessor.

Rosen clearly, I would imagine it was a no-brainer in view of his experience. I also imagine both Dyson and our counsel are more than able to distinguish between the two cases

I think there are crossed lines Dyson was the judge for the APT case Rosen is the PL KC who will select the panel for the 130 charges case

:D I sometimes have no idea which thread I am in. I think the question was about Dyson and the APT case, so I stick with my answer. Even if it is in the wrong place.

Btw, Rosen picks the arbitrators in the APT case as well, of course.

Edit: Just to be clear, Rosen picks the members of the Arbitration panel, but the choice of individual arbitrators for the APT case is more like CAS: each party chooses one and the two chosen choose the third, as the chair. Iirc.

Edit to the edit: Just to be even clearer, apparently there is no Arbitration panel to choose arbitrators from, unlike at CAS. Any suitably qualified person can be appointed by the parties. I think I will shut up about this :)

The tribunal is made up of three retired senior judges: former head of the commercial court Sir Nigel Teare (Chair), Lord John Dyson KC and Christopher Vajda KC. Seems Teale was involved in the scousers v New Balance case
 
I understand that some of our fans are seeking Nirvana here. It is unfortunate to see Blue on Blue arguing over what the state of play should look like.

Modern media is a race to the bottom for the uneducated. Irrespective of whether Stefan appears on Talk sport or not we cannot stem the ferocious tide of bile that has been coming our way. It has stated many a time on here that the Cartel followers will only listen to diatribe that accentuates our “Guilt”. In fact, I would dare to say that the more rational the response from us, the more incomprehensible the case becomes to your average dipper, rag et al.

That is way I keep on stating “a wise head keeps a still tongue”.

The only place to challenge is at the IC, anything else is just moot imho.

Not everything is a conspiracy, why would 3 retired judges want to damage their reputation to side with the PL?

This either a PL law that is wrong or its not.

For the same reason the ex Belgium PM decided we were guilty without any evidence, you are basically selling your reputation, with this being a non disclosure, it is money for old rope.
The only worry is if City sue in a court over a restriction of trade, where they will simply say different rules.

Leterme was a politician involved in a number of corruption and nepotism scandals, iirc. He should have been nowhere near a UEFA investigative process and, now, post-City (presumably as a result of UEFA's investigation into the leaks of confidential information) he isn't.

These arbitrators are 1,000 times more trustworthy than that **** ever was.
