PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

The PL have charged us, it's absolutely nothing to do with UEFA or European law. UEFA had their shot and missed by a country mile.
2. The Limitations Act 1980

I understand that, but discrepancies between Rules and Laws undermines the PL's case and our lawyers will start with that. The Limitations Act 1980 destroys a lot of the PL's evidence if it's applicable.

Para 174 of the CAS Arbitration Award found that the LImitation Period ended with the Referral Decision on 15th May 2019, so the Limitation Period for the charges brought in the Referral Decision started to run on 15th May 2014 (5 year limitation) Breaches committed as from 15th May 2014 therefore fell within the Limitation Period and may be prosecuted, while prosecution of breaches committed prior to such date is barred by application of Article 37 CFCB Procedural Rules.

Using the same logic, the PL would only be able to investigate any alleged breaches going back to 15th May 2013 (6 year limitation) or when they discovered the alleged fraud, concealment or mistake.

Hacked Emails 14th April 2010, 6th September 2012, 7th December 2012 would still be inadmissible and time barred but emails 29th August 2013 and 11th December 2013 and “undated” email and “total cash” sheet could be prosecuted if proven to be breaches. That's half the PL's evidence time barred and dismissed.

Another thought, if the PL's FFP didn't start until 2014, then all the hacked emails could be inadmissible.
 
I’m getting increasingly worried about our bribery and corruption dept. letting this drag on so long. They should increase the under the counter payments and bribes and get this done, or hand it over to the kidnap and assassination dept. and let them deal with it.
We‘ll never ruin football forever at this rate.
All in hand. We planted some inappropriate pictures in Richard Masters Laptop and gave him some options. Hence the washing his hands of it. Sheikh Mansour paid the CIA to train our staff. I was told by a Rag or read it on Football365, can’t recall which.
 
ProjectRiver has made it pretty clear that, except for in very exceptional circumstances, there is no recourse to the Courts, and those exceptional circumstances wouldn’t embrace the kind of re-run of proceedings what we’d likely be after.
I have the same reservations as KSSS. We can get super-excited on here by news that City (perhaps correctly) believe the PL’s case is piss weak, but they’re picking the man who picks the tribunal, so the chances of a bent charade, with the ‘high bar’ lowered to the point that Tyrion Lannister could limbo under it, cannot be dismissed out of hand. Be upbeat at what we’ve heard today, but don’t bet everything you’ve got on it just yet.
Excuse my ignorance but just what has been heard today, I assume that it has be said in here but busy at the moment so no time to peruse the whole days postings ...TIA
