Lawyer: “……so, my advice is that you do not proceed.”We have no idea what the PL were advised, if they were advised at all, before bringing these charges.
If they were advised, and I imagine they were, I strongly suspect the discussion went along these lines:
LAWYER: “If we want to make these charges stick, we’ve got some serious difficulties ahead. (discusses difficulties at length.) For all those reasons I give you maybe a 20% chance of success, and a very big chance that you will generate very considerable adverse publicity with unforeseeable adverse consequences for yourselves if you fail. Are you sure you want to go ahead?”
PL: “Absolutely.”
EDIT I must add in case it is not sufficiently clear that the decision to proceed was the PL’s and the PL’s alone. They may have taken into account factors beyond the simple prospect of success.

£230m losses over the last three seasons. Why are the PL and UEFA not at least investigating them? I thought you were only allowed to lose €60m euros over three seasons. ??
KC ….King **** ?H. Webb KC, M.Riley KC and K.Dalgleish KC as I understand
True but its easy to work put your covid losses, and I would be surprised if their matchday revenue equated to that much.Covid
Quelle surprise! They only use sentences with the words City and cheat in them. Oh and on a good day they might also include references to oil money and state ownership. The longer they wallow in this self-pity the larger the gap between us and them will become. I'm sick of their faux outrage, arrogance and delusional statements but I have this vision of our owners laughing at them as more success is earned by our club. Let them stew in their ignorance and delusion I say!
I thought the PL rules specified 2 lay members.
No idea how it works, but I thought it was just a general suspension of the rules for a certain period? Ie, no one can fail FFP for the period including the Covid season?True but its easy to work put your covid losses, and I would be surprised if their matchday revenue equated to that much.
Three members of the Disciplinary Panel, I think, one of whom has to be a lawyer. Rosen can choose himself, and why wouldn't he? Easy money.Yep, chosen by Rosen.
That's it in a nutshell!You'd have thought Scousers would know better than most the mantra innocent until proven guilty, eh?
Unless of course, it concerns a team who has bested them out of sight for the last six years.
