City launch legal action against the Premier League | City win APT case (pg901)

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.

I'm sure others have said it, but the phrase, "Judge, Jury and Executioner" is rather apt wouldn't you agree?
 
Not getting my hopes up or excited yet. Too many different tweets being posted for and against City and the PL.

It's an interesting situation. Presumably, if the PL was suggesting some strengthening of the existing rules, so business as usual when the agenda for the meeting was sent out.

So what circumstances would lead to a last minute withdrawal?

I can only think of one. The PL got the judgement and/or reasoning document just before the meeting, or an advanced reasoning document for review before publication(wait, that's two, I'll come in again) and have come to the conclusion they are in trouble and so it's not business as usual.

Not sure Panja's minor success in the sponsorship database would lead to a change in PL plans?

Still quietly optimistic.

Can anyone else think of a different explanation for the sequence of events?
