PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

Do you honestly believe an IC would release the result at the behest of the media?

I think the IC give the results to the Premier League and they release the results when it suits them, giving City the results and some notice prior to when that release will be.
 
My guess: "City's failure to comply with various regulatory requirements throws dark shadow on thumping FA CUP win."

The CAS award was delivered to the parties on the Friday and then released on the Monday, wasn't it? It didn't leak, though during that interval Ian Cheeseman put his neck on the block and said City had won. However, it seems likely that he was taking a punt rather than had been the recipient of a leak from the club.

You'd also expect the ruling in the current proceedings to be communicated to the parties as a draft award in the manner outlined in a typically excellent post by @Chris in London earlier in the thread. As he points out, this isn't so that the parties can then try to change the panel's mind. The substance of the decision outlined in the draft will be the substance of the final award.

The purpose of providing a draft to the parties is so that they can comment on any minor technical errors, which can always creep in when a long and very technical legal document is compiled - no matter how carefully the person drafting it approaches the task and how skilled they are in performing it. The sorts of things I mean are typos, incorrect cross-references and minor discrepancies in terms of the facts. There almost certainly won't be any significant error at this point.

It'll be interesting to see how long the Panel gives the parties to comment in this case. As Chris says, they usually try to keep the period short, but in this case, it'll be a much longer document than the CAS award (which ran to 93 pages), so you'd think the parties would need longer in this case.

You can see from Chris's post that, in the real world, this period can be anything from a few days to a couple of weeks or more. In the case at hand, there's the issue that, in the football world, leaks are a way of life and the PL has operated throughout in a way that amply demonstrates this fact. In the light of this, maybe the Panel on this occasion might be inclined to give the parties what would otherwise seem an unreasonably short period for comments.

Who knows? Again, we're guessing, unless any of my learned colleague can offer a more authoritative assessment than I've been able to. But my personal hunch is that it's possible that the process of the parties' final comments being submitted to the Panel and being included in the final text could in fact take place over a weekend with a view to a Monday release (even if the parties had the draft text a few days before the weekend).

The decision will be conveyed to both parties simultaneously with an embargo on the time/date of public release.

I suggest you read petrusha’s post a page or so back mate :)

Yep I’ve gone back and read it.

Bearing in mind there’s been no leaks in the case so far there must be some pretty strong NDAs in place. The process that Petrusha is talking about is probably taking place right now or at least very recently.

The result will be released on the PL website. When that release is will be determined by the PL. if they want to put it out at a time that suits them, they will.

And, probably more importantly, requesting redactions?

If we’ve lost, then Monday seems a decent bet. The media would want to highlight our wrongdoing to the absolute max, without club football getting in the way……

I'm sure I've seen posters suggest the exact opposite on here (i.e. if City have won then the international break is a good time to bury bad news)!

The first hundred pages or so were pretty awful, tbf. Lots of panic-driven "we must be doomed" posts.

Natural in an information vacuum, I suppose. After 9000 pages I think we are all a little calmer.

I don't know about all ;)

BTW, I've heard it'll be a day that has a 'Y' in it, for the day the decision drops. I'd post a video but it'll just wind certain posters up :)
 
you can dress it up anyway which you like when is a good or bad time, monday is nice weather so if we have won then the pissed off people wont be as pissed off because they will be out buying ice creams, the result comes when it comes 'today or 3 weeks today', the only benefit to us on here is i would say no leaking news is good news and thats it

@slbsn obviously your not privy to the finer details, but in your professional opinion can we realistically expect a decision next week?

I'd say it is possible and more likely than any of the previous suggested release dates (before the end of Jan, before the end of Feb, on a Gameweek Friday etc). But equally could be months away!
