Khaldoons End of Season Interview

I think it was quite telling that he DID NOT say that we are innocent of all charges and that we will be fully vindicated through the legal process. Why did he NOT say that, I wonder?

I can think of three reasons.

1. Our lawyers have told him to say nothing. There's nothing to be read into it, it's just a good policy to say nothing in case anything you do say may be taken out of context or even damage your case in some way, so silence is the safe option. Quite possible, IMO.

2. He's aware of developments in the case which he cannot comment upon, such as we're reaching agreement to get all serious charges dropped provided we agree to a slapped wrist for trivial non-compliance such as not providing required documentation? Again, possible, IMO.

3. He knows we're in a tight spot and doesn't want to look like a prat by telling everyone we're completely innocent only to be found guilty on some counts later. And OBVIOUSLY he can't say well we're probably guilty on some counts. So he has to say nothing.

I really do not know how to read it, but I do think his silence on the matter is significant. I am inclined to think (2) above, if I had to pick.
It's standard practice not to say anything about on going matters there was nothing to read into what he said, he is not going to give the world a blow by blow account of what is happening as much as we would like him to do

Option 1 all day long and twice on Sundays. You're chasing your tail trying to read anything else into it.

He wouldn’t be allowed to comment in any eventuality because it’s an ongoing investigation. No reading into it to be done, he (or any club officials) won’t comment until it’s concluded.
