PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

Stefan Borson esteemed expert for Talk Shite has stated yet again the decision is imminent ,i cant see any decision before the end of the season , and it is going to be watered down to a non-co-operation charge and a 99p fine !
No matter what decision is given our previously good name has been ruined , the damage the Goons and their mates wanted to do has been done ,but if we were completely exonerated there will be a cull at the Premier league and that old public school boy Masters will be the first to go

I’m genuinely pleased you post on this forum as you know more than anyone but you did say it was imminent part way through October too. And then again in November.

Because it has been imminent for quite some time. And remains so.

Well I would argue that it wasn’t imminent in October. Is there any reason you think it is now? As far as I can see, there’s no evidence suggesting when it will come. A quick google search says complex cases are usually 18 months to 3 years in length, from the beginning of the hearing to the decision. We’re not even at the 18 month mark quite yet.

You may have information I am missing and might be able to give insight as to why in our case, the last part of what I’ve written doesn’t strictly apply, but from what I’ve read as a layman, we’re not particularly overdue with this yet.

I googled a duration for the write up based on the 10-12 week hearing ages back and it said 6-18 months.

This is what I got from a lawyers website
  • Multi-Track – higher value or complex civil/commercial cases: 18–36+ months (often around 1.5–3 years).

I’m a complete amateur by the way, not claiming to know anything above what I’m reading online and taking off Stefan (despite me questioning him just now).
 
How can it be imminent for 6 months now? Maybe longer?

It’s a headline grabber. We all shoot the shit here but it still gets us no closer to any actual real timeframe. The poster who emails Pannick and got a reply is just as close to the truth as those in the media.

Unless Pannick don’t know but other people do? That’s a conspiracy theory but with no logic what’s gone on or why it’s taking so long? A discussion will take place and 99.9% of said discussions will be wrong.

Certain people on here get away with wumming due to their perceived media/professional status.

All any of us know is the result is not out. Imminent would infer an hour from now or 9am Thursday.

Let’s call it out for what it is eh?

I have lots of information you are missing. And I don't need to rely on misunderstanding Google.

I literally wrote a published article (and numerous other explainers on timelines) as early as 2021 (before charges were even laid) about the glacial pace of such cases.

This is not a court process so timelines should not be as extreme but your reference above is start to finish - issue to trial to judgment. We are nearly 36 months to part judgment IN A PRIVATELY ARRANGED AND PAID FOR PROCESS.

So yes the process is taking a long time.
