PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

:) Again, the words "verdict" and "delivered" are doing a lot of heavy lifting. There are many ways for information to pass between the panel and the parties without a formal verdict being formally delivered. And many possible reasons for it. I don't see anything particularly conspiratorial in that view or anything contradictory to the messages being given, apparently, by the club, the PL and their lawyers

Fwiw, I still tend to believe that it is just taking this long, but I have to be consistent. With each passing day, month, season, my belief is being stretched to its limit. And the likelihood increases imho that something significant is going on that we don't know about.

In the same way we were told when the initial APT verdict came out that it wasn't a convincing win, but there seemed to more going on than we knew about. And there was, wasn't there ....?

The parties can communicate via the secretariat on admin matters — such as the timing of the decision and confidentiality formalities — but nothing on the substance.

Remember, this is the longest process in European football history — seven years since the investigation started and it’s still ongoing. The Calciopoli case against Juventus, including appeals, was over within five years. So we just have to be patient.
 
Tbh it's all getting fucking ridiculous anyway, the club now is a much different animal to what it was back then. It's all so tit for that that it's bloody pointless. So over it now, can't be arsed.

Nothing is a stretch to say the least.
Just one example.
The Horizon enquiry.
Hearing commenced September 2020.
Hearing concluded 2024.
Report expected late 2026.

I know it’s unrelated but the problem
I always have with public enquiries is absolutely fuck all meaningful happens. Normally it makes very rich & powerful immoral people feel uncomfortable for a few days as they are shown to be corrupt & unethical. I believe it sends a message to billionaires that you can do what you fucking want.

It can be wars, Boeing planes falling out of the air or pedo rings. It’s theatre dressed up as justice.

In the words of the immortal bard:

"That was a government ordered public inquiry.
This is an internal disciplinary issue.
Not remotely comparable".

Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
