PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

In fairness, the Tribunal didn't say that - that was a submission by HMRC's counsel. From what I can see the Tribunal rejected that...
"The fact that the opinions remained those of Mr Thompson does not detract from this; the control arises from Sky's ability to control the output of the programmes and other services... Mr Thompson had control over his own opinions"

.. Mr Thompson had control over his own opinions"
Really?
 
By the way, here is a good example of the chaos that will ensue after the decision is published from people claiming it says one thing and others claiming it says something different - and nobody will know for sure. It is possible to have 2 valid interpretations.

Just what we need, more ambiguity. It'll give Tebas some wiggle room to paint us with more shit for the next few years.

Meanwhile in the real world scruffy Jim owed 12 billion and the rags are neck deep in debt and sacking anyone who isn't moving fast enough to get out of the way, just to put the cherry on the top the Amazon ballbag ready to pump 750 million into the club to get his companies name against what appears to be a free stadium (ISH)

Business as usual :)
 
For me there is one of three not two verdicts.
Guilty, innocent or innocent with caveats.
Whilst the first is too much to even think about I would rather not have the third option either. This gave the cartel too much ambiguity and hence the “got away with it due to time barring”.
An unequivocal and Crystal clear innocent could finally break the morale of the bitter and twisted.

Things that are time barred don't mean that we're guilty of them. They were exactly that....time barred. But I get where you're coming from.
 
I’m sure masters wife is well manicured, long nails and moisturizes from top to bottom while sleeping , meanwhile next to her masters reads his daily newspaper on his pajamas ,turbo wanks and says thank you and good night to his wife

Yep the third option will be difficult to deal with.You can bet the report will be gone through with a fine-tooth comb from all over the world and the label of "cheats getting away with it" will follow us forever. Option two with a clear statement of not guilty is only way we get out of this and be able to move on. If any journalists/media says otherwise we are then free to go to town on them and sue their arses.

And if the PL had any courage in their case they could have gone down the fraud route where time barring would not be an issue. there is a good reason for them to stay on this side of the fence
