Oh no you didn’t.

You are a glorious fountain of knowledge @tolmie's hairdoo -:)

Pffft!
Didn’t even give us a musical clue.

Masters has completely washed his hands of it. Khaldoon, ever the diplomat, was still able to get his message across.

Just a very positive steer that we don't expect or intend for this whole debacle to last much beyond this year.

i wonder if those recent guardiola pre-match presser comments (about wanting the lawyers to sit down tomorrow and sort it out) means he already knew about this?

Masters is not very smart. He is out of his depth. How he got the job is a mystery but he was personally vetted by Directors of LFC and MUFC.

He didn't look CEO material in the regulator hearing, to be honest, and at the weekend he looked like a kid on the naughty step. Un-com-for-ta-ble. Wonder what Khaldoon had been saying to him?

They're thick imbeciles. It's funny and sad to witness.

Makes you wonder sometimes how easy it is to manipulate public opinion to push your agenda.

Brexit anyone?

God bless America! :-)

That’s a low blow PB.

how low can you blow?

Just passing the hand grenade over to Rosen. I don't think the pin is in it!

Isn’t that worse, passing it to a KC?

 

[mancity2012_eamo]

Am I right in thinking when this is finally done it's done? In that we don't have any other bodies or cases to be raised (ignoring any potential appeals) that we can finally just focus on the pitch?

No.
When we’re exonerated we’ll still be called cheats and state owned with limitless funds, by our detractors looking for an excuse for why their own teams owners/management are shite.

MSM will back up their findings, of course.

Cheers for the update, Tolm. Just curious how Masters can have washed his hands of it if he is the PL chairman. Is he basically admitting defeat? And who's running this if he isn't?

I imagine washing his hands in the same way Ceferin did at UEFA: try to negotiate a way out and then reluctantly let the process run its course and deal with the consequences.

The process is in place now. Not sure what Masters can do to stop it.

Haven't seen anyone mention this but is it not slightly concerning that Pep is asking for the verdict sooner? Surely he would have had reassurances from the club that everything will be OK? Or has he?

I rather suspect Pep knows full well that we will be totally exonerated and that is exactly why he wants this done sooner rather than later. And I also imagine that certainty of innocence has come from the club.
I’d be far more concerned if Pep was deliberately downplaying the need for a speedy resolution.
