If the PL were confident of wiping City off the map with their silly charges, would they desperately need to be rushing through associated party rule book revisions through before the panel involved has given their recommendations? The rules are being revised back to before the vote originally took place which was last year was it? Would it impact Premier League clubs that much going back to the rules before these illegal ones were put in place? What are they desperately in a rush for that they will ignore a panel of legal experts and will look very stupid if they have to revisit again?
The desperation to appease the favoured clubs is driving their levels of stupidity, which will hopefully backfire on them, resulting in the PL receiving severe criticism and actions against them.

There is nothing to gain for the PL as far as I can see. But this is a thread for conspiracies, so here is one.
The club, in the 115 case has asked to the panel to delay judgment on the FFP breaches because, if they are right that the APT rules are null and void since inception because of the treatment of shareholder loans, then the entire FFP/PSR rulebook is null and void since 2013 for the same reason. So the allegations that the club fiddled the books to beat FFP fall completely away.
How is that one? :)
Edit: Btw, I suppose that may explain the PL's rush to implement new rules to present to the tribunal as a fait accompli and avoid the trouble.

That’s an excellent point, we should be the only ones not affected in non league.

Such an easy process to fix and the PL fuck it up anyway. Shouldn't even be surprised.
An interesting theory! But City could only have broken the FFP/PSR rules by falsifying their accounts, which would still leave them liable to significant penalties surely? Not sure this would be the best line for the club to takeThere is nothing to gain for the PL as far as I can see. But this is a thread for conspiracies, so here is one.

If I was going all-in with my theory, which I am not of course, l would say that the reason for overstating revenue and understating expenses falls away if there is no lawful FFP. The PL isn't there to enforce the Companies Acts. Now that would be the mother of all technicalities :)

We’ve been told to Sky and Talksport etc that we will be playing in the National League next season. Surely if this was happening the PL could hold off for a few months and then do their vote once City are out of the way. Or have the media been briefing the lemmings who read their shite wrong?
All you're short is a rocking chair and the Val Doonican knitted jumper."Walk tall, walk straight and look the world right in the eye
That's what my mama told me when I was about knee high
She said son, be a proud man and hold your head up high
Walk tall, walk straight and look the world right in the eye".
