PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

If there is a climbdown then it might not be in City's interests to totally throw the PL under the bus. We are a leading member of the PL and won't want to damage its brand more than neccessary. I am sure that Masters will be thrown to the wolves though, not least because he has managed to alienate senior members of both the Government and Opposition and they are gunning for him. The new Regulator will be used as a way of starting to build bridges. Football is one of the UK's most important industries these days and there is a lot at stake for a lot of people.
Never give a sucker an even break. They hit us hard, so we should smack em back even harder.
 
That is a great post. Your description of the way these sort of cases play out is spot-on. The biggest moment in these legal battles is the advanced disclosure of documents. That's when everyone's cards are on the table. It seems clear that Masters is an imbecile but his lawyers are smart people who will not want to be publically humiliated.
Exactly how I see it. Now try telling that to the Red Top Mafia & Spuds...

That's how I feel after the way we have been treated but I suspect City will be under political pressure to be more measured in their response. Khaldoon wears a lot of different hats in the world of business and has to keep a lot of people happy. City always take a long-term view.
