PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

The Light Was Yellow Sir said:
To paraphrase Jimmy Somerville, it’s not necessarily the case that the PL have some mountain of hitherto unseen evidence or, indeed, any real evidence at all.
If they do, then City’s legal team are unfit for the job, as they would have undoubtedly recommended a settlement of some sort.
As with many ‘trials’ the ‘prosecution’ are often unwilling or, indeed, unable to stop the prosecution.
Better for Masters and the PL management (politically of not financially at least) to try and fail rather than to throw the towel in and ‘let City off’ by saying the evidence doesn’t now stack up.

To be fair, city being largely exonerated MIGHT suit the PL as well as it can then be put to bed once and for all.
Of course, should city prevail and the PL then announce they’ll appeal, that knocks that theory into a cocked hat….

Plenty of absurd legal battles have gone to the bitter end with little evidence. To give an example looking at the APT case documents the PL span it out as much as possible. At one point there was a dispute about what constituted fair market value for one of the sponsorships. The PL refused to let City see the rationale for their valuation(including the data anaysis from Nielsen) despite repeated requests. City then sent the PL their alternative proposal with its own rationale. The PL were slow to reply but eventually asked our lawyers 96 different questions asking for City's reasoning for their figure. At the end of that case the Judges ruled that some of the PL's actions had been "unreasonable." That is just polite legalese. The PL behaved maliciously and in bad faith all the way through. I am sure the same is true in the 115 case.

Don't like em, that's the PL legal team. The writing on the white folder looks like "Closing' ?. If only we could get our mitts on that.

Just a guess, but will it state something like....

And finally, in closing may I remind the panel the owners of MCFC are not Americans but Arabs, very very wealthy Arabs and these people just can not be trusted. It doesn't matter how much they deny the accusations or the volumes of exculpatory evidence they produce. All the sworn personal statements can be completely disregarded as they have a genetic predisposition that makes them and the truth strangers...

I hope that is their closing speech
How unprofessional is that carrying it round in a ring binder
Should have a briefcase
Useless tossers
 
City Lawyers rocked up to the closing argument with a blue binder, proper happy clappers

Surprised the media haven't run with "whilst the prem league lawyers use stock bought folders from staples, city have used custom made folders decked in city blue at 5 times the price of staples folders, this is what the prem league are up against, no one can compete with that sort of wealth"

Loved the bit where they described convicted hacker and extortionist Rui Pinto as "Portuguese computer whiz Rui Pinto".

The depressing part of all this is that Pinto is just a chancer who really didn't need to do much. He sent a phishing email to lots of club accounts, a thick **** clicked on a link and that was all that was required. He got access to the club's entire mail database which was completely unencrypted. I could have done it on my tablet with specialist software installed.
