PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

Not been invited in as there are no relevant stories to discuss (unless you can think of any financial or legal cases where we have news?)

Based on the fact the station has been talking about ratboy and his political opinions and hosted a Richard Ashcroft gig yesterday I don't think they'd mind going back over old ground and framing it as an update. Go make some money!

Fact: The new IFR will have absolutely zero involvement in the case. And that the IFR will intervene outside of its remit having just been set up is another fantasy conspiracy theory. Utter nonsense.

The IFR will have no involvement in the legal case. But it could get involved in the PR fall-out. There will need to be some sort of peace process between the PL and City moving forward. Someone will have to mediate that. There is always a political backdrop.

The IFR won't be involved in that either. It is simply not its role or purpose. Read the Act to learn more about what it can and can't do. Its remit is specific. It could get involved in deeming owners to be unfit though but I don't think you have that in mind. They are not a mediator.

I think in a case such as this there might be degrees of guilt, perhaps surprising, and therefore any sentence should reflect that. Perhaps those driving this case did not agree with this view and wanted the nuclear option in sentencing. Pure speculation I know but something has been going on for such a delay

Remember there is no sentencing, this is just the judgement. The punishment, if any, comes later so the delay isn’t down to the severity of the punishment.

Silly me, I must have missed the charges being dropped.

It's nothing to do with the charges being dropped. Can't some of you get that. It's all to do with the verdict or any punishment that might be delivered. If you cannot grasp that and the potential loss of face to Abu Dhabi should Man City be found guilty and the potential implications for the UK you must live on another planet.
You must be as ill-informed as those who claimed Andy Burnham had no say in the Policing of Manchester

It demonstrates that on balance a Govt does interfere in Court judgements. So do you think they would possibly not interfere/ lean on in a poxy judgement from a tribunal on a football matter given its political implications.

It doesn't. Again perhaps you haven't read it. It absolutely does not demonstrate or even provide any evidence at all that Govt interfered with the Supreme Court. It doesn't even make an allegation of that.

“Correlation does not necessarily equate to causation, and we have no wish to level any accusation at the Supreme Court. The above evidence, however, creates a troubling impression in the light of the executive’s recent approach towards the judiciary.” The "evidence" here are the numbers as opposed to actual evidence.

Plus tiny sample size and simply a view of an all-party parliamentary group.

In any event, irrelevant to the matter in hand.

As I said earlier, any intervention would have come much earlier and before the start of the hearing itself.
