Seems to me that the PL is hoping that their most likely success lies in the non-cooperation route.
If they have no substantive evidence for the financial charges, and many believe that they don’t, then we are left with non-cooperation and a big fine.
The reaction by the great unwashed to the CAS fine for the same charge was to assume that ‘non-cooperation‘ meant we had something to hide and I feel the PL will hope for a similar reaction.
BUT….if the PL started this knowing that they had no real evidence and they were putting all their eggs in the non-cooperation basket, then the whole campaign was surely verging on fraudulent, and they surely can’t expect City to pay a fine which would be seen by many as an attempt to hide the facts and thus be an endorsement of the PLs investigation which had no substance whatsoever.
