Be interesting how Jordan will twist what Stefan says when they get around to City .

it depends if they believed whether that evidence would be viewed in good faith and whether it was commercially sensitive or not.

I have been involved in plenty of investigations. You only hand over what you are legally obliged to do. If you hand over other information, you are opening the door to, and setting a precedent for, further investigation.

The CAS investigation is a good example. The club held back the external information until CAS. Even then UEFA disputed the methodology behind some of it. In the investigation phase, they could have asked for more detailed external information or information using a different methodology and, if the club refused, it would have reflected badly. In the arbitration phase, UEFA could only point out their objections and then CAS had to make its mind up. It's a question of controlling the flow of information.

The first five years the press thought we were a billionaire's plaything he'd drop when he got bored. I've said before, there is plenty to say about City, UAE, and middle eastern money more generally and it's relationship to global capital, but our sports journos have been woefully under prepared for making sense of what is happening.

They are, with a couple of notable exceptions, a dull, boring and most uninspiring bunch. I understand that the internet makes them chase clicks but, even so, they are very low quality. Wankers.

Of course. And if it IS the case that they didn't provide it for that or any other reason, than the non-cooperation charge should arguably be upheld. And all else cleared, if the evidence so shows it. And that would be ok, if the club took a conscious decision that protecting commercial interests is more important than what the PL consider cooperation, I'd have zero issue with that. IF that is what went on, goes without saying.
