I'm a bit bored of speculating when we have very little to go on, but it's difficult not to.
As regards requiring third party information, for me, it's not so much that they have attempted to award themselves the powers but that they can then punish the subject of the investigation if the third party tells them to f-off which they are perfectly entitled to do. That is one draconian power they want there that even a government would baulk at.
As regards it not being "meaty", I reckon the ramifications as regards cooperation could be pretty far reaching. All very frustrating.
Lord Dyson , master of the rollsPresumably he's referring to this article:-
Although it only says it's "imminent" (yes, really).
It does name the 3 judges which I don't think I've seen previously but then I've been busy as the wife had a couple of mini strokes. I'm only on here as a sort of time out :(
"The Lawyer website has reported that the independent panel involved in the APT arbitration is made up of three of the most experienced and respected judges in the country. The three tribunal members are all retired senior judges: Sir Nigel Teare, Lord John Dyson KC and Christopher Vajda KC.
Lord Dyson, a former Master of the Rolls, is also a former Justice of the Supreme Court and over the past five years has sat on the appeal tribunals for Sheffield Wednesday, Derby County and Nottingham Forest’s PSR cases."
That is a good point, that fails on our UEFA charge, it also fails with our first UEFA charge, being seen to have the letters after the name is the reputation, getting the job done to the standard who ever pays, i would put as being more important to those that pay.Reputation is absolutely critical to the overwhelming majority of these people. It’s the currency they trade In and off.
To dismiss it lightly is very silly imho.
Illegal laws being implemented, not knowing the interpretations of their own rule book in the Leicester case. What a fantastic well run league we have, there’s a story here but no hack will go near it.
