PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[John Wayne]

Of course the PL will be getting real time feedback from their legal team about how the process is going (as we will be from our legal team). There will be many months of both parties submitting information/evidence to the panel and then the panel requesting further material from either or both parties. They will have a very good idea about how it's going as will the club.

How the process is going is very different to how the substantive issues are being addressed. You're quite right to suggest that there is a submissions process but I still need some convincing that the PL have been told that their evidence is a "concern" and that City's evidence weakens the PL's position further. On top of that, you have another club supposedly aware of the negative dialogue between the IC and PL. Whilst I hope that this is all true, I cannot yet lend much weight to what is essentially a Twitter rumour that has been picked up by nobody else.

Yes, always believed him but those days are over.

I’m sure he is gutted -:)

Come on man, have a bit of faith and hope, I know we are the most pessimistic fans that ever existed but come on now :)

Fair point. I perhaps should have said that no other leaks exist apart from this one. Can't really get too excited about it in isolation. I'm just trying to stay grounded.

Optimism is the hand tool of the fool ;)

 

[tolmie's hairdoo]

I'm not saying Tolmie is wrong but he's taking a risk in posting this information. A lot of people will be getting their hopes up now. This needs to be rock-solid.

No risk to me mate, just an interesting snippet from a source at a club I would have expected to be talking up our demise and guilt.

I still expect it to go to tribunal, even if have started to read from others it could collapse beforehand?

Like I say, I don't doubt that you are reporting in good faith.

I would never ask you to reveal your sources but can you please just clarify:

A) You heard it directly from the source at another club (I wasn't sure if it came through a third party); and

B) Where have you read from others that it could collapse before tribunal (by that, I assume you mean the IC hearing)?

Thanks.

There were rumours 3 or 4 weeks across most media outlets that City might get away with it.
People in the know are finding out info from their various sources and if they are right things are beginning to unravel for the accusers.
It very easy to throw accusations around the hard bit is having the evidence to prove them.
It appears that the chickens maybe coming home to roost .
