The club clearly regret the 2014 settlement. They'll fight this to the end. They know they have no choice.
I'm not so sure the club does regret it. There were a lot of outstanding issues that could have gone either way at the Adjudicatory Chamber and a subsequent CAS appeal. Much more than in 2019, and I imagine with better evidence to support them as well. On the other hand, Infantino didn't seem to have much appetite for a long fight either and the club's threat to challenge FFP in court was an incentive to settle. I imagine both sides were happy with a "political" solution.
We’d probably have lost, then.Not to mention they’re all picked from an independently approved list by CAS. The way some go on, it’s like we picked the Gallagher brothers to hear the case.
No. A lawyer representing your adversary does not usually get involved in that way. They just present their client’s case.The Telegraph reporting that Mark Phillips KC, who represented UEFA in their case against us, is being lined up to lead the new Government independent regulator.
Hmmmm....that doesn't sound great in terms of his disposition towards the club. In fact it sounds fucking shite.
Can he explain how being state owned would enable you to circumvent ffp?I have a dipper mate who clings to the idea that we're state funded and we outspend them because of it.
The alternative for him is that he has to accept that we've beaten them on the pitch, fair and square.

I'd be far happier if Lord Pannick were to be offered the gig...No. A lawyer representing your adversary does not usually get involved in that way. They just present their client’s case.
I wouldn’t. He is a formidable opponent. If we fell foul of any regs……I'd be far happier if Lord Pannick were to be offered the gig...

Back in 2019 Pannick won the Supreme Court case against Johnson after parliament was prorogued. Subsequently Johnson hired Pannick to represent him in a separate case.I'd be far happier if Lord Pannick were to be offered the gig...
Phillips as the regulator wouldn't be an issue IMO.
