PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[Leech]

If the Premier League were so convinced it was a slam dunk case, I'd argue the longer it has gone on, the better.

Certainly a slam dunk doesn't take a year to conclude.

As recently evidenced by the coach and horses City ran through these idiots over sponsorships, we are not dealing with geniuses.

My thoughts exactly. The Premier League's job was to prove that our guilt was without doubt, whilst our job was to insert said doubt.

The extended period of time it's taken for the panel to come to a conclusion so far strongly indicates we succeeded in our task.

We had a Mr.Wood teaching Metalwork, seriously.

Fred Longworths?

Alternatively, it would have been thrown out by now.

We had a woodwork teacher called Mr Chips. We didn't really. He was called Mr Brooks. He was always babbling.

I remember Motson commentating on Lopez Ufarte - praying he'd say he was having a stinker.

I've just seen another thread where a mod has stepped in and asked that it be kept on topic.
I presume they have given up with this one :-)

I visited a sex therapist back in the 90s. When I first went up the steps to Dr H.A.M Shandy's office, I knew I would be okay.

But even if thrown out, everything would need writing up and explaining, hopefully leaving no room for any doubt.

But, just to stay in topic - my daughter has a teacher called Mr Read.

I worked with Michael Hunt in retail.
We regularly asked for Mike Hunt to come to the returns desk, regularly, for a laugh!!

He was never a c***!

The standard is not “without doubt”. It is on a balance of probabilities. I wouldn’t jump to your conclusion

Is it taking so long because the monks writing the verdict on the parchment have taken a pilgrimage to Rome?

Why do I sense you are becoming increasingly pessimistic that the IC case could turn out bad for City.

Even the criminal standard of proof isn’t ‘without a doubt’ and nor has it ever been!
