PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

God I hope the panel or whatever they are make their minds up today, the whole thing is dragging like fck.

The indecision is worse than going clothes shopping with the missus.
 
The common thought process is both sides will get the 'paperwork' to peruse a couple of days before the result is made public.

Friday would be the obvious day to drop the result on us & the PL for a Monday public disclosure.....today could be the day.

Potentially it could, I don’t see anything being announced during the club World Cup. Next window is after the tournament is over and the run up to the first game of the PL season.

It's an interesting proposition. Not because the suggestion has any merit, but because the idea that the reason we are waiting for the decision is that City are somehow dragging things out is so ludicrous that it illustrates quite clearly one particular point.

Anyone with the slightest experience of how quasi-judicial tribunals work will know that at this stage both City and the PL have done all they can to influence the process and outcome. The decision is now in the hands of the panel, and many have expressed extremely plausible explanations as to why the decision has taken as long as it has and may take longer still.

I don't blame Jim White for not knowing how these things work, because he's not a lawyer and I can't imagine he has any reason to know how they work. But Jim White does not wander into a studio at five to 10 and shoot from the hip. Their programmes are planned and thought about beforehand and questions like the ones he asked the lawyer from Lawrence Graham will have been talked about beforehand in production meetings. Moreover, a station like talksport has researchers, and other people in the building who could easily put him right on the suggestion that the delay in the decision is the result of some tactical move by City. Moreover Jordan, who is quite likely to have some experience of relatively hefty litigation, is more likely than not to know that neither party can at this stage do anything meaningful in terms of affecting the outcome.

So asking questions like "is this City kicking the can down the road" can only be mischievous. There seems to me to be no other plausible explanation.

TL:DR - this is just talksport shit-stirring.

As somebody who occasionally listens to talksport I believe you are giving them too much credit. I don't believe they have production teams who understand anything other than how to garner clicks and increase engagement. Simon Jordan, I think, lacks a logical understanding of City's case and, just like Jim White, is indeed shooting from the hip.
