It's a common tactic to ask for everything in legal battles. Even stuff you know you're not entitled to. In the hope that you might catch the other party out. Rarely works, and I would imagine it will be treated with the contempt it deserves by City’s legal team. Of course, everyone will see that as City Failing to cooperate.How true it is i dont know but the rumour was is that they were asking for stuff well outside their remit not withstanding personal accounts of people, external companies opening up their books, both of which they know damn well they arent entitled to but how else could they prove their theory. We have submitted audited accounts to them for 15 years which they have accepted as being accurate, they then accused of them being not fair and accurate and that funding was disguised etc etc, they cant prove that theory solely by looking at our accounts because our accounts were presented as accurate, the only way they could prove that is by inspecting accounts of outside entities in an effort to prove their theory, they have no right to ask for that information and nor would it be provided to them should they ask and that is where the route of the none co-operation comes in, they were asking for things they knew they were never going to get and then blamed us for not giving it to them, its like me going to lamborghini and asking for one and them not giving it to me cos i havent paid for it and have no right to it and me suing lamborghini for not giving me a car just because i wanted it.
Which is mad how football fans think, as I am sure Liverpool fans would claim it is taking the shine off their title win. Yet we think if that happened it would be negative.My view is the day the dippers are mathematically champions sadly is the day City get exhortatied from the charges.
As they say good day to bury bad news.
Then we can start hopefully a long painful revenge on those that drove the narrative
I am sure the PL can make a good case for why they had to refer the charges to the disciplinary process even if they can't prove a single one of their allegations.
In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if the panel say that in their reasoning.
I don't think that will be an issue for them.
Good post.This seems possible. The process is very taxing on those involved and we are in competition. We know it's a complicated case but the legal process should be timely and if they can't deliver a verdict in the season, I think they should issue some guidance.
It'll be "They made me do it" whilst pointing at the red cartel.I am sure the PL can make a good case for why they had to refer the charges to the disciplinary process even if they can't prove a single one of their allegations.

once again i support the club, not the ownership, we have had shitty owners in the past and it didnt stop us then and if you need the validation of others to revel in our achievements or care about the idiot media or idiots on social media then thats up to you and fair play to you , for me im a blue because my parents were blue and no dickhead in the media or on social media is going to change that or take away my enjoyment of the aguero goal, the 100 point season or the nights in istanbul or the hundreds of other memories created with family and fellow blues over 30 plus years of being a blue, i support the club not the owners and ill carry on doing that no matter what.I can see his point of view though, we have had two years of this misery which has detracted from our pleasure in being a part of our great club, all the time suffering the vitriol of every man and his dog decrying our fanastic acheivments. To have that proved would leave a stain on us that would be difficult to deal with
