PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

Must be a media thread for who likes us and who doesn't?

On the hearing, is this week 6 finishing? I've lost track. If it's still going at all, that is. It all seems so watertight, even more so than I thought it would be - no more photos of lawyers, no more information from media etc. Even the apt case a couple of people on here heard (credibility of sources unknown!) that we were doing well in our arguments. But on this...nothing! I understand that's commonplace in serious litigation stuff but for fans it's frustrating.

Yup! The rules around inducements are VERY hazy, but unless alerted by parents who're the beneficiaries, I can't see how the PL would ever get to know.

Inducements go as far as free clothing & products from club sponsors, which adds to the paying of private school fees, daily chauffeur driven club cars, or paid taxis, accommodation (2 roomed apartment for player & parents) & food etc.

It's absolutely rife in kids football.

Yep, end of week 6 today. Like you, I'm surprised there have been no leaks of any sort from either side. Posters on here have heard before the hearing started that the club are super confident so I thought we may get a feel for how things might be going once it got underway. As you say, its been watertight so far but I can't see that continuing up to the point when the verdict drops. If you think back to CAS, Pep's body language and comments in the lead-up to the verdict were positive so he clearly knew the outcome. Then Ian Cheeseman tweeted something a few days prior. On the night before the announcement I got a WhatsApp off a mate saying that we'd won as someone who runs one of the OSC branches had heard it through a club employee on the Friday and couldn't help but spout off about it down the pub on the Saturday night!
