The issue about non cooperation I can see the clubs points, the people who want to crawl all over the books and the inside dealings of the club are the clubs commercial competitors why would the club want them doing that?
This is the problem with internal regulation, it rarely works on this scale because there are too many competing interests, as I understand the club supports the idea of having an independent regulator free from the accusation of bias, some clubs are dead set against it I wonder why?

It does seem a bit of an own goal by the PL to appoint someone who has a season ticket at Arsenal and is prominent in Arsenal Director circles. The problem is that Arsenal are one of the clubs who have led the smear campaign against City. It was their letter (drafted by their lawyers) which was circulated urging support from other clubs to ban City from Europe....even before CAS had ruled on the UEFA case. In retrospect that was another own goal by our enemies.Thanks for posting that it is very informative. Maybe also this is why there are rumours about City making objections now about the formation of the panel. This could be the club taking steps to minimise the risk of having to take action after the hearing, if an impartial panel is formed now. The club seem to be saying, if the rumours are true, that the man forming the panel cannot be impartial if he is a member of one of the main protagonists against City. Just a side question, would he be allowed on a jury with similar connections to the prosecution team.

That really is the only point I have argued before, i.e this idea that because it is 'private club' rules, anything goes and there is nothing that can be done to prevent it.
Thanks for the summaries, I imagine it can get annoying to a few when someone in the field says something that most take on, and one or two complete laymen question because it simply just doesn't seem to make sense. But then if it leads to pretty detailed clarifications like the little series of posts there..
99,99% of people commenting are layman & being gaslighted by a shit stirring journalists who also don’t understand Law, Finance, Marketing & Geo Politics.

The recent media interest has been driven by private comments given to selected media outlets by our commercial rivals who seem to be getting information from within the PL management. These leaks are designed to undermine City in the run-up to the FA Cup and CL Finals. I am sure there will be more leaks next week and up to the CL Final, especially if City beat United. If we win the treble it will all die down until there is a significant legal development. Also remember that LFC and MUFC are up for sale so any new owners may decide to adopt a more pragmatic and sensible business strategy moving forward. The dirty tricks campaign from these clubs has damaged them as much as us.I just get the feeling that there is a time issue with this , I’d say the PL are under extreme pressure to get this resolved (probably due to the independent panel that is on the horizon) and City are just sitting on their hands saying , in our own time. The pressure very recently seems to have reached new heights - now is that because we tore Madrid a new arse hole ? Because we have won the league ? One thing is for sure - Pep, the team , and the senior management and owners seem very very calm about it - the ticking time bomb is the independent panel for me , there a few clubs absolutely shitting themselves about it , fire sale at old toilet , and the dippers pulling themselves off the market. We appear to be in no rush.

It was 10 minutes after we completed the first ever domestic grand slam of four trophies. Rob Harris (then of AP) asked Pep a question relating to Roberto Mancini being paid "off books" in 2008....eleven years earlier..and eight years before Pep even joined us. He asked Pep if he had the same sort of arrangement for his pay. It was despicable by Harris who has never published a single shred of evidence for any wrongdoing by Pep. Nothing more than an attempt to smear Pep in public. One of the most unprofessional things I have ever seen from a so-called journalist.
reason Fergie had him banned from United
An extreme scenario but I assume the PL could do this by relegating us automatically to the Championship and then only send two down on points
Not that I think this will be an outcome anyway
No, the PL cannot arbitrarily relegate City to the Championship as it’s not a competition they administer, promotion and relegation today being under agreement with the a Football League.
They could handle a relegation if the Football League would approve it, but the Football League clubs would raise hell if it ever was anything close to a reality.
It’s nothing more than a clickbait topic.
