Yes hence I said civil fraud. Fraud exists in civil and criminal - they are not the same. The standard of proof in the IC is civil - balance of probabilities

It is unlikely here that the SoL arguments could be taken as a separate hearing because they are intertwined with the underlying substantive matters. So it will all be assessed as part of the IC. Lawyers do commonly argue SoL and yes there has probably been correspondence on the point both...

The IC may not. But they are being asked to. Civil fraud not criminal fraud.

I wouldn't over complicate this. The case is based largely on the same facts but it is undeniable that the process will be more thorough, disclosure of documents far broader, the IC far more conventionally English (ie English law) and therefore has far more risk for City (and in different ways...

This is nonsense - to the extent there is a statute of limitations point to run, the IC will decide and will decide in accordance with English law - the rules are expressly stated to be construed in accordance with English law. There are reasons for the PL to argue that City's actions means the...

Not a problem. And btw, of course it was designed to get engagement. That was the point!

Yes i thought City fans would immediately realise it wasn’t about City. It was good today I think. Mr Jordan is “evolving” his view on FFP

Don’t agree with that obviously but welcome to your view. Just a tweet, think you are taking it all a bit seriously

Carefully worded. Could not would. And deliberately close to the bone to make the point. So not bizarre even if you didn’t like

Perhaps I misjudged the point which for me was multifold and interesting when the Club was anonymised: 1. Just because the PL make a forceful point, doesn't mean it is correct or accepted. 2. There are many aspects of cooperation - the PL said "the Club" didn't cooperate because of x, y and z...

Key an eye on this. You will enjoy it... give it an hour or so

One of them I think

Not ideal for the point, but I have spoken to the BBC incl. Dan Roan/his producer (and other BBC presenters) but in the end diaries didn't allow it to work and the story moved on. Door not closed there.

Quite a few people falling into line now. The Blueco numbers released this week are incredible and have the revelation that Mount was pushed into 22/23. This is significant because they need him to pass 22/23 but it leaves a huge hole in 23/24. I've always simplified the issue to being £100m...

I thought the piece was very good and well researched as it happens. But I don't believe that it is what happened. I've told you before I wasn't convinced about the toolkit. Likewise, it is completely possible I am totally wrong on it. Like so much of this super historic stuff, its just...
