Given the seniority and eminence of this panel, (former Supreme Court etc) I’d say it’s findings would not be challenged/changed by a court of law.Hey I am not disagreeing that it can’t be applied but a court of law hasn’t ruled
by this logic, every single rule up to and including our 115 charges means absolutely sod all.
riveting lolIt's going to be an interesting couple of weeks, isnt it?
I think director loans can be seen as financial doping if they are interest-free or at a very low interest rate.I don't know if you agree, but to me director loans are a prime example of 'financial doping' ( that term is ridiculous in itself). Exactly what we have been accused of continually.
Ha ha . True!I see the arsenal fan has given you a like, that in itself should make you question what you've just written.

A loan of £200 million would cost £10 million a year at 5%, so the club is effectively gaining that £10 million without earning it. In reality it's no different to getting a sponsorship deal that is over-valued by £10 million.
The difference in the long term is that the £10 million from sponsorship might stay in the game, but the loan goes back to the director, unless it's written off.
I watched Martin Samuel piece and he said directors loans were what brought Pompey down, the directors hit hard times and requested the money back.I think director loans can be seen as financial doping if they are interest-free or at a very low interest rate.

I am sure the PL must have forgotten how toxic loans could be.
Its madness the way they view debt vs investment, debt is fine, investment is bad, the reality is if you cant pay your mortgage the bank takes your house, if someone else pays it for you the bank couldnt care less.I watched Martin Samuel piece and he said directors loans were what brought Pompey down, the directors hit hard times and requested the money back.
