PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[halfcenturyup]

But we keep being told that the two are in no way connected and will have no impact on the 115 decision...

Oh, you!

Is it possible that some external information may have detailed the process? Something has come to light which impacts on the decision-making. I know this can happen in criminal cases.

Possible but very unlikely. But, more importantly, it didn't happen. They just await the decision

 

[slbsn]

I often wondered if the APT findings and outcome would have had an impact of sorts.

They're humans at the end of the day - its highly likely they would have read through the judgement.

When City are (possibly) claiming there is bias and inconsistency and then another verdict is saying rules were 'unlawful by object', it must make you take notice.

Nothing to do with it.

Because it doesn't

Direct they absolutely don’t.

It more a comment on if it could have caused the most minor sway of human judgement.

Tbh I only read anything on this thread that you reply to, so thanks.
You mentioned earlier that the findings are now being written up ahead of informing the parties of a decision. In your opinion, when is the decision likely to be made public? Could this stretch into another season 26-27 ?

It is imminent but nobody except the panel know when or how it is taking so long.

It is quite fascinating how many people (on both sides) can't accept that we're just waiting for 3 blokes to write a really long report in between their day jobs and no one knows how long it will take. People keep having to make up new reasons why it's taking so long.

Thanks. The mounting costs must be alarming both parties though.

I can answer that. It's imminent and next international break is a good time ....

Hahaha

".. in between their day jobs...". Is that how it works? I would have thought this is part of their day job.

Good to know the future of our club is dependent on 3 blokes who will get round to it when they have a minute.

Imminent as in all the other previous imminents? Or imminent as in stand by your beds and get ready to rumble imminent?

I think most people have jobs whereupon you can’t just kick a finish date down the line, it’s quite astounding.

I suspect, as ‘King’s Men’ when the King (state) calls, that might be their primary duty.
But then I have no real idea…

Maybe they meet up in their local boozer after work and write it up whilst playing a few games of 501.

So why don't the club or the media or the PL ask them why it's taking so long and when is a realistic time frame for the outcome?

Should never agree to pay by the hour contract unless you are doing the work ;)

Have you ever asked a lawyer a question and got a straight answer? :)

Stevie Wonder was writing it up but he dropped his pen halfway through and couldn't find it for 9 months........

Yes.

I asked if their fees were negotiable and I got a straight answer that day ! :-)
