PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[KS55]

What happens if the pl drop the charges can City insist the case isnt dropped to prove how bent the pl is ?

Can you imagine the pl statement 'The pl didnt want to bring these charges but were blackmailed by the 3 red tops +1"

If the PL dropped the charges, there is no dispute for them to adjudicate. All into the pub. Nothing to stop us making a statement such as “Yah boo sucks to to you lot”.

I suppose anything is possible, but I think the PL will go to the bitter end, the redshirts will demand it.

Redshirts priorities may have changed in the last twelve months.

The time limits are as much a part of the rules as any other provision. They are not a loophole, or a technicality, but rather the FFP rules (UEFAs own rules) being applied as they are written and known to all the parties at the outset.

There is no need for anyone to be remotely defensive about their application.

Especially if both sides interpret those rules incorrectly.

Just watching the typical city interview with Stefan. Interesting part for me
, Stefan mentions the following ' either the alleged fraud did not occur, or, the independent commission is not able to establish to the necessary legal standard that these things occurred'

and right there in that last part could be the PL get out of jail card statement and finding. It would find no charge (except for maybe non co-operation) but leave the red shirts and media to still say city are guilty but got off on a technicality once again

@KS55 - this a possibility maybe

There's no illegality about it. Legal refers to UK Law. FFP/PSR refers to the PL's private members club "rules" which have no basis in UK Law, hence why they've shot themselves in the foot.

I fear that the 100 percent PL chosen Panel may contain similar minded KCs.

Is this possible?

Obviously not. They are English. There is no corruption in the PL.

Actually, without being facetious, I honestly believe that. This is too high profile and too reputation building/ damaging to be influenced by personal prejudices, imho.

Maybe naïve, but that's just me. Not one for conspiracy theories, as you know.

If Khaldoon is right regarding our evidence I dont see how a top KC can find against City without repercussions. But this is the PLs independent commission so who knows, remember UEFAs independent commission or whatever it was cloaked as banning us for two years.
The days just get better.;-)

I suspect not, but that's just me. Always one for conspiracy theories, as you know.

At the end of the day, in the final analysis, when all is said and done, all other things being equal, it will all come out in the wash.
