PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[TheThirdDeano]

I do wonder if the fact the PL shit the bed and rushed their accusations and divided head first into this is part of the reason for the delay, as the true scope of their obliviousness has opened them and the case up to actual examination.

It can’t be lost on the panel the scale of this case, getting bigger by the week, and not to mention the scrutiny they will be under the second they announce one way or another.

Having said all that, how much longer could it possibly take?

The words written will need to leave no element of doubt as to guilt or exoneration. Can that even be done? I don’t think so, instead we will get a lengthy judgement that can be interpreted both positively and negatively.

On each count, the verdict must be clear: a finding for the league or complaint not proven. They will give their reasons but in the unlikely event of any argument or interpretation that will be apart from the finding, effectively obiter dicta. No dissenting opinion will be given. They won’t want to open the slim window on an appeal.

Surely that would be a JR rather than an appeal?

Would that be Masters appearing in the shower and the 115 case was just a dream

 

[Greenandblue]

Tumbleweed.
Does anyone bother even checking here anymore?
Maybe the Premier League have decided to just forget about the whole thing.
If we were having a poor season, a small points deduction wouldn't have made a huge difference as long as we finished fifth. But now that we're the only realistic title race against Arsenal, the PL really shouldn't want the title won by default...
They definitley regret starting this.

Who says they are billed on that basis?

Lots of services operate on that 'it will take as ling as it takes' basis.

That sounds a bit fishy to me ……

 

[thomas1307]

hadn't heard much about 115 until the last week or so i take it city must be doing ok now

This should be good for a few molly pages :)

 

[AshtonBlueMooner]

We’re all angling for a resolution here.
In cod we trust.

 

[Kinkybyname]

what a load of pollocks

 

[City Hobgoblin]

They continue to skate around the issue.

There must be a catch.

[Damanino]

[bavarian blue]

Hopefully we have a safety net.

 

[Ste68]

Well I hope we’re off the hook

 

[Gorton_Tubster]

Only 66 sleeps until the verdict.

Only 66 sleeps until the verdict.

Does anybody really care any more? The only people keeping this relevant are those parasites who have made a name for themselves on the back of it. The sooner we are all in a position where they fuck off and leave our game alone, the better.

Just one of the many areas of the game that do my head in these days.

 

[The Stockport Iniesta]

Only 66 sleeps until the verdict.

If you're very old that could be less than a week.

 

[thomas1307]

does anyone else find it funny how the big 6 clubs keep poaching cfg executives yet call city corrupt

 

[Centurions]

Only 66 sleeps until the verdict.

And if it's not then the panel should be sleeping with the fishes?
