PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

Personally, I think that it’ll come on Monday. If they recieve it today, that should be enough time to read through it. The PL like Mondays and intl breaks. This Monday is a Monday on an intl break!

It is a plausible theory. I was directly involved in a similar high profile case and hearing (not sports related). What happened was that both parties were sent a copy of the Judges' statement on the Friday to prepare for a joint public release on the Monday. Only three senior people saw this document in my organisation and there were strict non-disclosure warnings at pain of ending your career. It ruined my weekend because I had to oversee the comms strategy which was very complex (lots of other related organisations also had a lot of risk). Nothing leaked out and it all went smoothly on the Monday. It wasn't a criminal case but it did ultimately lead to a criminal prosecution. So a Monday release must be favourite (less messy than a Friday which is often a sabotage tactic if one side controls the date). Of course I have no idea if this Monday is our D-Day.

It could be any day of the week. But giving both parties the info on Friday reduces the chances of anyone blabbing because offices are closed most of the weekend. Of course Levy and Lewis have both quit their clubs so perhaps that will improve the situation.

I wonder if Pannick enjoyed presenting his argument as to why the club objected to an Arsenal season ticket holder KC being involved in this case ..... I am still dubious that actually happened. Or at I think it was probably badly expressed in the press?

I always viewed it as that the club noted Rosen's club but didn't actually object to anything. I can't see any value in starting by impugning someone's objectivity, especially one not on a panel.
 
Saturday night would be the best time for a release to bollocks the printed press
 
Exeter Blue I am here said:
I know. The ‘utter cnuts’ I’m referring to are Masters and the red shirts who gave him their seal of approval. Given the vigour the PL has pursued us with (compared with its recent ‘lift carpet and apply broom’ approach to Chelsea’s admitted misdemeanours), I’m loathe to believe they would have been casual about who got to pick the panel. They would surely have selected the candidate they felt most likely to ultimately deliver them both the panel and result they so clearly crave and, for whatever reason, that candidate was Rosen

Rosen was the retained KC for the PL had been in place for awhile before the charges
City did question his impartiality but I’m guessing that was a tactic to ensure he acted fairly Not sure about the composition of the panel if either party can object or if it’s like CAS where the chair is selected by CAS and each party nominated one member each

I think the panel was selected by Rosen without input from us.
 
international break looks favourite for this farce to end but just heard theres another break next month for pointless internationals
sure ssn will over hype it thinking people are bothered

Do folk still think international breaks are taken into account timing wise?

It'll be announced when it's decided, there's no nuance to it.

I dont think they are in the business of making the decision and then sitting on it for weeks or months until there's a international break so they can release it. Fantasy stuff.

It will happen now wont it.
