It is a murky world. Generally money trumps legal rearguard actions. City now have the highest revenues but all parties have a self interest not to jeopardise revenues. Manchester City have arrived and are not going away in spite of the efforts of the entitled, self-styled elite. This has been the balancing act that will see us eventually receive acceptance as others recognise our business model.
I’m not sure there’s any obligation to disclose documents that support your case. What is the legal basis for that assertion?
Not if the documents they want constitute a fishing expedition. That was our case and CAS fundamentaly agreed though they still fined us for non co-operation.- The bonkers bit of the ruling in my head.
That's what they might be going for.. can't see any wrongdoing, let it drag on until the limitation kicks in then say, well we had this on you but the statue of limitations prevents us from sanctioning you.
Surely our reply to that would be, if you had the information, "you had plenty of time to sanction us "
Their regulations are governed by English Law, so there is a 6 year stature. Unless City & the PL have agreed to freeze the clock to allow the PL to investigate.
Exactly what I said. Games v Everton and Aston Villa led to investigations into City in 1905.
