My Sam Lee moment :) But still seeing my guy this evening...

Assuming Keegan is correct, this is good news in the sense that we have some clarity about timing.
As regards the delay after the hearing, this is consistent with what Stefan has said on one of his pods i.e the IC make their considerations after the hearing and it could take many months before the judgement comes out. He cited one case in court that took over 2 years :)

Edit: Stefan has already tweeted. As an aside his x/twitter account is brilliant relating our stuff and lots doesn't make it on here. Also, he's brilliant on Everton and Chelsea as well.

I guarantee Dicky Masters will be down the road by then, probably back at Blackburn as the Marketing manager of their "megastore". The independent Regulator will be in place, so the likes of Masters/Parry/Gill/Brittain will not be making up and applying their own rules anymore. We will know the result of the UEFA v ESL legal dispute. Our formal complaint about the LFC new stadium feasibility study, falsely reported as £50M, will be in the pipeline by then.

So what are we thinking ? Scrapping thru ?

If we'd been accused of serious criminal matters at least we'd have only had to prove it once in a court of law.

The PL have approached this investigation almost as if the CAS judgements don't exist. Is the breach of PL FFP with regard to the same matters as were heard at CAS for UEFA FFP really that different being that one was based on the other.

Admittedly as a dye hard blue i'm approaching this from a perspective that the club have not breached these rules and there cannot be new compelling evidence to the contrary. There is massive (lol) speculation about these charges in the world of social media and mainstream news yet there has been not a single murmur anywhere of any further evidence uncovered by a four year investigation. In fact wankers like Piers Morgan and his backers are left raking up debunked old news and presenting it as new facts in some further attempt at pointing the finger and dirtying our name.

This double jeopardy is contrary to UK criminal law surely so why would it be allowed in Civil cases?
Does this mean we're waiting for the FA to join the party next and whoever runs the League Cup after that? This is what makes the whole process a fucking witch hunt.
Will we use the CAS judgements to back up our rebuttal evidence?
Do the CAS judgements give additional weight to such rebuttal evidence?

It's clearly an orchestrated attack on the club and its finances and achievements by the media, the PL (via the redshirts and Levy) all egging the general public on to sully our name and harbour resentment toward the club and us its fans, who are also denigrated. We're rats remember. We're still waiting for our promised apology from the ping pong cheat, Matthew Syed you fucking worm, for the judgement in our favour.

I can imagine SM and KAM are fucking seething with indignation at all this and have no doubt they will be taking names. They know perfectly well that revenge is a dish best served anonymously and cold. If we come out of this process relatively unscathed some of our most outspoken detractors should start to worry.

I must say this most recent furor following Everton's punishment was reported, has been all the more strange for the lack of comment by one of the keenest attack dogs. Everyone and I mean everyone has had their say on Citys charges yet Tebas has had not one word to say. Very strange.

As much as I believe City are 100% innocent, it's still baffles me the way the 115 chargers were issued.
The pl got this so wrong , the grass height for one lol.

It beggars belief that the pl seriously think City have broken 115 rules yet the pl could get the rules right for each season.

When the pl lose were does football go from there ?
The pl has falsely accused it's most successful club over the last decade on made up charges.
For this and this is the bit that niggles me, I cant see how City will be found innocent. For City to be found innocent it would be the end of the pl as it is clearly not fit for purpose.

Personally I believe we are innocent 100% but I cant believe the pl would risk everything just to throw shit at City

Perhaps this is the end game for the American owned clubs

This is an interesting article on BBC about LFC's owners. Obviously, it talks about City in several places (usual stuff) but the wider piece is about the problems LFC's owners are having in the States with Boston and over here. In essence they don't want to invest is the general point but when you read it you can't help but see that what they've achieved in the States (controlling the spending of rival owners) is exactly what they've tried here. In the piece it sort of suggests that's gone well in the States but it's a bit of a thorn over here. So I guess the point of what I'm saying is - why haven't other ambitious PL owners spotted this obvious business ploy of 'stop the others spending so that we don't have to!' Owners profiting from clubs is what it's about (and why not they're businesses after all) yet it's those investing that many in our media and rivals claim are wrong!

Glory and fury - Liverpool, Boston and a tale of two teams

Owner John Henry has ended title droughts on both sides of the Atlantic, but neither Liverpool or Boston Red Sox fans are entirely happy with the direction he is taking their teams.

I would not have any objection to a club or even the press campaigning legitimately for less spending. Problems arise when the methods are underhand whether in framing the rules (G14 and refusal to accept restraint on debt) or in trying to nobble rivals with lies, innuendo and spying.

"The evidence before the court is incontrovertible there's no need for the jury to retire. In all my years of judging I have never heard before of someone more deserving of the full penalty of law."

WJO'S SAID THAT?
