PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

No, this is referring to whether IC themselves know their decision. Of course, their view would have been established in or shortly after the hearing (or in some cases/on some points on the papers). But this doesn't mean the written judgment has been finalised but has been held or selectively communicated. The parties have no information about the decision as Pannick states himself.
Having a planned schedule with due dates for drafting, reviewing, updating, finalising and issuing of the reports is normal practice in many areas of business. Is it likely there would be an agreed schedule in this case?
 
Nobody, and I mean nobody, gives a flying fuck about anything but the first team.
I do. The men's team will always mean the most to me but, like thousands of others, I enjoy watching the women's team, both on TV and at the joie. They've been great this season and the standard improves year on year. A great atmosphere, very few tourist fans, good value for money. As a club we should be very proud of the progress we've made, and the support we've given to driving the women's game forward in general.
Similarly, we should be proud of our academy set up and the success of our youth team.

Tbf though if City had a tiddly-winks team i'd root for them as well
 
No legal tribunal worth its salt is going to paint themselves into a corner like that. Unlike people in a commercial settling, who are answerable to directors, shareholders and line managers the panel here are in control of the timetable and answerable to no one in that forum - if they were not, then chaos would ensue.

So if they don’t need to produce a schedule as you’ve provided, why would they tie their hands like that?

You can sometimes get an indication when the decision might be forthcoming, but nothing as remotely particularised as you’ve set out.

Or maybe Pannick doesn't know for some reason, because its possible according to my learned friend ChatGPT (never wrong)

A barrister is typically not the primary recipient of court communications. They are instructed to present the case but are not always the administrative contact. So it’s entirely possible for: an in-house company lawyer (legal counsel and employee) to be informed before the barrister (LP).

Keeping Pannick out of the loop sounds ridiculous but what if the PL have also cut out their barristers and the City and PL in house legal teams know the outcomes, hush hush, because its so bad for one of them ie the PL

Chat GPT, as usual, only gives part of the picture. General administrative communications from the court would normally go directly to the sol, but I’d say in a tribunal hearing such as this, leading counsel on both sides are likely to be sent to judgment directly, along with the sol. This may have been discussed by the panel at the end of the hearing. Even if not the case, Pannick will be notified by the sol immediately upon receipt, most likely by it simply being forwarded.

Plus both parties are likely to be sent an embargoed version in advance of the judgment being handed down to check for any factual or typographical errors. Inconceivable leading counsel on both sides won’t be directly involved in that part of the process.

In short, Chat GPT is wank.

Also worth noting (and it’s sometimes too easy to get sucked into overanalysing these things) but Pannick’s response was as follows:

“We are still waiting. No date yet for a decision.“

It may be a throwaway comment, or very carefully chosen words, but the reference to the date of the decision rather than the decision itself may be worth noting.

What's a sol? I'd ask AI but it's wank.
 
Standard Chartered, the highly controversial sponsor of LFC, is once again embroiled in a terrorism-related scandal. How long will it be before the Premier League and the The Football Association investigate this questionable commercial arrangement, in line with their corporate governance obligations?

I'm not sure it's quite as simple as that, although financial shenanigans are way out of my wheelhouse.
