City have absolutely nothing to gain by issuing any interim statements- in fact, quite the opposite.I think why the club’s silence has come into my mind now, when it didn’t really occupy my thoughts a week or so ago, is that the sands appear to be shifting quite quickly with regards to PL financial rules - and now seems to me to be an apposite time for the club to try and take some initiative, assuming they are supremely confident of the ground they are standing on, which I believe is the case.
Rightly or wrongly, I feel now is the time for the club to be more on the front foot with this than hitherto, as the whole thing is descending into a farce from which City could accrue some advantage, that possibly wasn’t available a month or so ago.
Has any other club been charged today btw?
We made our statement at the outset. Nothing more need be said until a judgment has been handed down. Then we’ll speak.
If a defendant believes he / she has a rock-solid case, then an opening, “hard”rebuttal is all that is required.
Simply reiterating that rebuttal just smacks of being desperate to be believed.
If Pannick thought it were a good idea, we’d have heard something.
