They have to throw a few crumbs at the red hordes.

Something is going on. Three positive articles in the Sunday Times, the Guardian carrying the odd piece of impartial analysis, Oliver Holt making it clear that he is voting for Haaland as player of the year and arch-critics suddenly changing their tune.

However, I'm not inclined towards the belief that they are reacting, collectively, to threats coming from the club. After all, it would be easier to respond to such threats if you believe them, simply by saying nothing.

My guess is that they are being briefed by their usual sources that the case against us is not going to substantiate the claims they have been making for the last 10 years and, essentially, they had better rein in the rhetoric in case it backfires. If that guess is correct, and, obviously it may be just wishful thinking, I'd expect a result to be known relatively sooner rather than later.

I am worried that the verdict is many moons away.
1. The chairman has not announced the other members of the tribunal.
2. The PL have not told us what the charges consist of, just listed the rules allegedly broken.
3. Mood music from the PL seems to be: no hurry chaps.
Meanwhile Henry Winter will continue to talk about ‘doubts about City’s funding’. What doubts, Henry?

I hope you’re wrong.
Would the chairman be required announce the other panel members ?

Reminds me of the judge Mr. Christmas Humphries who was a Buddhist.

And he's the judge who sent the innocent Timothy Evans to the gallows instead of serial killer and necrophile John Christie.

During my working days I knew a Robin Banks and a Susan Perb.

There used to be an Optician in Monton called D. Igoe.

I don’t suppose there is a rule, but it would be a bit silly to hold a tribunal of anonymous assessors. This is not a matter of national security.

It would be like the Spanish Inquisition. I expect.

I don’t believe they’d change without a serious threat, it’s been a complete turnaround, popcorn time.

1. For the chair they wanted someone very well versed in football finance. He's an Arsenal fan. Is there anyone out there who understands football finance who would come to the matter with no previous affiliation, or prejudicial interest?

Maybe his advice is already that he may need to recuse himself if the first legal question is whether it is right to go fishing for malpractice at one club based on criminally-leaked emails unless all other clubs were subject to the same scrutiny.
