I was wondering when his boat was going to set sail. Not quite Sinbad the sailor.Jordan is only interested in a guilty verdict and the quicker it comes the happier he will be. He does look as though he's somewhat enraged that The Good Sheikh, Koolhand Khaldoon, Pep and the entire squad haven't been consigned to The Tower as a precursor.

I remember Mancini saying that. I suppose it’s quite possible that the independent panel have contacted him in the meantime but that then begs the question why the PL didn’t. I mean, the person right at the centre of that particular allegation and they didn’t bother to speak to him about it?What confuses me, is that in March 2023, Mancini said he hadn't been contacted by anyone at the Premier League.
The investigation supposedly started in December 2018.
Sounds like there was very little investigation to cooperate with.

Been top on this thread son.All imho, but :
First, because the club thinks, under the rules, they aren't required to.
Second, because if the club started giving information they aren't required to, the PL could have asked for more and more and a refusal to do so, having done it once, could be seen negatively. It's a question of controlling the information flow.
Put it this way, at CAS the club provided an analysis of payments made by ADUG over a certain threshold to show that no monies had gone from ADUG to Etihad. UEFA had some concerns about this report. Had the club presented this report to the CFCB, UEFA could have asked for changes to the report, different information. At CAS, the tribunal could only balance the relevant of weight of the report presented and UEFA's concerns on it. There were no negative connotations to be drawn from the procedure.
Always a rule. Never volunteer information.
Genuinely - if that's what happens, I hope we refuse to accept it and challenge it, because I want total exhonerationThat's how I think it will end. Can't see how PL can prove their case so they'll probably give us a fine for non co-operation to save some face. Even when found not guilty, we know non City fans will see us as guilty anyway but I've become fairly immune to that and the 'What about City" knobs. The best thing about it will be the seethe when City are found not guilty. They'll need to put a protective ring around the Runcorn bridge to stop the dippers committing hari kari.

If you get locked up for shoplifting and go no comment, if they don’t have enough evidence to charge you, you don’t get 2 years for non-cooperation.Tbf none cooperation in of itself is a bullshit charge, if the pl want to make a case against the club then it is up to the pl to provide the evidence, quite simply if you want me to kill me id be a fucking idiot to hand you the gun, yet this is what the pl were expecting

Need to get that going next match it’ll catch on.I love how Stefan is just so calm and doesn't rise to the bait and call out the other 2 as the media fuckwits they are. Pretty sure I would have done.
Presumably its taking so long because the PL are trying to track down the person who first sang the Mancini chant to put their composition into evidence.
Mancini, whoa whoa
Mancini whoa whoa
He comes from Italy
We paid him secretly
Mancini whoa whoa
Actually I may have just made a blunder there - they now have written evidence!
Shit.

Punch drunk?
He’s that thick even most scousers think he needs help.
The morons will lap it up though.oh because its football it's ok to accuse people of a decade of fraud and than expect City not to be given time to defend themselves.
What fucking world does Jordan live in ?
He knows his audience and so do talkshite.
