It certainly helps highlight the absurdity of the rules.

Do you think the apparently fair verdict of our first panel will be shown by the one currently in progress?
I am fearful that they may be persuaded to try to save the callapse of the old PL.
 
I worry this is the beginning of the end for the Premier League. I have no love for the administrators but I am concerned about what comes after. The red cartel rigged it in their favour and have been found to be bringing in anti competitive rules. I think they’d rather break the train set than hand it over to a new and independent body of administrators. That takes us right back in line for a European Super League, independent of UEFA.

It seems everyone is holding a knife at each others throat. The fans always lose of course.

Why wouldn’t we?

The premier is trying to publicly hang the club over historic accounts. If our name can be dragged through the mud it’s only financially ‘fair’ the same rules apply to teams who have benefited from illegal use of shareholder loans not included in FFP, P&S or any other shit they decided not to include in their squeaky clean books.

Arse twitching time.

I think we’ve absolutely nailed them not just on APT but likely on some of the 115 charges since we can now prove that we were singled out over ‘alleged’ inflation of sponsorship deals with Etisalat and Etihad…when other clubs were benefiting unfairly through APT loans that have been proven to be ‘unlawful’…….proper 4d chess move imo

Oh this gone be gooood !!

I think the threat of an ESL is at its weakest for decades. The problem at the moment is weak PL leadership.

I don't think so. They will judge us on the evidence provided, defense submitted, on the rules that were in force at the time. Other clubs benefiting from other rules which have subsequently been found to be unlawful will not affect our hearing.

But surely the PL will need to adjust these rules and make them apply retroactively …..or have some type of amnesty which is also retroactive…

cant agree more, when all this 115 started i did trust our owners saying we have nothing to hide but there was allways an element of doubt we would somehow be stiched up, there is no doubt more will come out that will tarnish the PL but as we stand today we have enough to wipe the floor with them
