FWIW I don’t believe City sent any letters of the type 1894 refer to, I don’t believe Sky have any idea as to the outcome, I don’t believe there is any particular reason for the briefing note aside from it being a huge story when it finally comes out.

He will be reading it very carefully as soon as it is out.

Interestingly, Pannick has just put forward an objection to an amendment to the IFR and declared his City conflict. He is apparently, not busy reading a draft decision from the IC https://parliamentlive.tv/Event/Index/0b661067-a12e-4e11-a1ca-69aef205d8ae

As discussed before all the stations have the numbers of people that they may use and I will be on TS when it breaks. But there are no signals that it is coming tomorrow that I am aware of.

No, sadly I don't think so, IMO. Will be seen as different on the facts.

Yes, it is called a Sanction Agreement. Board power: Ratification: Publication rule: Example (https://resources.premierleague.com/premierleague/document/2024/04/30/029f4d04-3f34-4eb7-a081-a24fd1b9ccd2/Sanction-agreement-between-the-Premier-League-and-Fulham-FC-April-2024.pdf):

The real window for a PL settlement was before the charge - once charged, the situation became much more challenging and, in many ways, the PL boxed themselves in when they went big on the 115 headline. The PL appears to have learnt this lesson with the Chelsea off book case (apparently looking...

I'd say it is possible and more likely than any of the previous suggested release dates (before the end of Jan, before the end of Feb, on a Gameweek Friday etc). But equally could be months away!

We are in the early stage of equity market meltdown so a pause on most IPOs will be happening. I doubt it is anything to do with City at all.

Expulsion is expulsion from PL only

Yes - wouldn't get hung up on how the IC/PL could relegate us - in the worst case they can find a way either by points or expulsion.

In the event City lose on everything, I'd estimate, say: D - judgment issued D+2 weeks - directions for liability hearing D+8 weeks - liability hearing (1-2 weeks of submissions) Say, D+16 weeks (ie 6 weeks post liability hearing) - liability decision Clearly, if City only lost on coop, maybe...

It is independent obviously. The point is these are generally framed as concealed off book payments. The likelihood is none of them are. Can on book payments be in breach? Yes. But again pretty unlikely. No, the 115 allegation is that if you lied in your UEFA submission, you also breach the PL...

It is relevant to both. If there is an FSR allegation and the numbers are known to UEFA and not concealed, the investigation phase is likely very short. I am far from convinced there is any FSR investigation anyway - only post July 2018 acts can be looked at by the EC. As for the PL, the PL...

Not necessarily but it hugely undermines any allegation of concealment.

I think you can conclude: 1) the idea Longbow was never known to UEFA is false - we know UEFA asked questions about it in 2013 so they clearly had been informed about it 2) City have evidently always been required to report a perimeter beyond MCFC Ltd so simply pointing to an arrangement with...

ICYMI - an explanation of why many “off book” costs are not “off book” at all

I’m not part of the media. And I was talking about the media being in touch. I’m pretty sure members of the media will contact me when they get an inkling/know the outcome. And it’s “offence”, just saying.

The panel will only get involved in administrative or consequentials if the parties can't agree. I'm confident both parties understand the need for the judgment to be released within hours of being handed down. But if the PL resisted, for example, and City objected, they could raise with the IC.
