I can't help but feel that whilst this legal challenge undoubtedly has a chance of success, it's also a case of City's lawyers wanting an arbitrator to make a few statements which we can take to the PL panel. The bold and forthright statements about the "tyranny of the majority" and discrimination might not have success in law, but we could get some useful commentary from an arbitrator to take to the PL panel and bolster our arguments.
Based on the fact the PL have been asked to share emails/whatsapp messages to the PL panel, we're clearly pushing hard on the discrimination point. Even a statement from the arbitrator saying "the voting patterns and evidence submitted by Manchester City FC are concerning" whilst ultimately dismissing our case. Take that to the PL panel and alongside an email from the red shirts saying "why haven't you relegated these cheats yet" and it's job done.
