Oh right, so the Times has now said that the proposed "strengthening" of the rules was to do with access to the database, which is presumably why Panja has concluded that City's limited win is to do with the database and that is why it was withdrawn.
Not sure that follows unless the PL has given information to Liverpool who have leaked. Unlikely to have happened I think. It's the opposite side of the coin to every other news outlet saying City have secured a potentially significant victory based on a withdrawn vote.
Still unsure of the timing of all this. After three months it would be surprisingly unlikely if the judgment was made available to the PL the day before a shareholders' meeting.
Still much more to this story, I think.
