Khaldoons End of Season Interview

Chippy_boy said:
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.

I was thinking exactly the same.
You would imagine that even the fuckwits at the PL should be able to show we didn’t reply to a request for information by a particular date as required under their ‘rules’. So I can see us getting done for some of those.
The big issue will be the more critical commercial charges - my guess is that Khaldoon has got the full knowledge about the truth of all those. This is where it gets interesting. Either, we have been squeaky clean and Khaldoon just cannot wait to stick the boot in, or you are seeing a truly world class politician in action, preparing the ground for a potentially disagreeable outcome. Both scenarios are consistent with his attitude and performance in the interview. Whatever happens, he is still the bloke I trust to deal with it. Only one dropped bollock (super league) In 15 years ain’t a bad track record.
