My email sent 9:05 today.

Dear David

Thank you for your reply to my initial enquiry.

A month on from this, are we still in the same situation of not knowing the outcome to the case? Some people have suggested that the outcome might be released during the November international football break. Do you have any indication about when the outcome will be made public?

Many thanks

No developments. No fresh information.

As before, this is a genuine email from me and a genuine response from David, even though I haven't screen shot the message this time.

I think you’re in there mate. Is he fit? Hung?

 

[Centurions]

This has probably been said and discussed!

Is there any way in any circumstances would it could it become a non-disclosure agreement so we never ever know the outcome?

No.

 

[Stoned Rose]

Waste of words. Make your own judgment based on whatever info you have or can find. As I do.

Wasteofwords would be some username.

Thr process dragging on isn't good for either party, but the longer it goes on without a verdict, the more worried the club will (or should) be about what the verdict will actually say.

Drafting and agreeing a long (4-500 page) decision after a 12 week fraud trial (which is essentially what this is) is certainly not a short process, especially given that the panel members need to review and agree the drafting between them.

However, the length of time it's now taken is a legitimate matter for concern, in my view.

And you are more than entitled to your opinion.
Others, me for example, don’t believe the length of time taken reflects negatively or positively.
It’s a process, a lengthy one, that can’t and won’t be rushed.
My opinion, based on the responses by my Club, the evidence as I understand it (granted, none of us know the full weight of either sides case) and the actions of the club before, during and after the hearing leave me feeling positive about the outcome.
Of course I could be spectacularly wrong but that’s not how I feel or how I think.
Psychology as well as facts / unknowns play into our thoughts and opinions. I’m a glass half full fella, but my opinion is based on instinct and the facts as I understand them.

For the millionth time, until they see the decision they do not know where the Commission is on even some fundamental matters. City are obviously confident, but then so are the PL. And there is nothing happening in the background except waiting for the decision. As the most senior legal person on the matter has confirmed in writing.

For the millionth time, they absolutely do. City and their legal have sat through every piece of evidence and will have a very good idea of the way the wind has blown.

Stefan has spent too much time with that **** Jordan!

Sometimes I wonder which one we will get first, the verdict or the next Game of Thrones book that's been in the works for a decade.

And also for the millionth time, the behaviour of the club since the charges landed..... Pep's contract, Haaland's contract, signing superstars like Donnarumma, extending the stadium, clinching huge new sponsorship deals etc etc.... absolutely screams out that they know full well the way the wind has blown

And bye bye to Daniel and Tim

So now we have confirmation that Pannick is paladin -:)

This thread just got serious…blue pill/red pill I can’t decide!!!

Very good idea is not KNOW. And I KNOW they don't KNOW of even some of the fundamental questions.

This whole 115 episode is absolutely surreal.

It's gone proper weird in here the last few days.

It amuses me that for all the millions of words written and spoken on this subject, the gallons of newsprint used up, the megawatts of electricity powering social media speculation and the hours spent in "investigative journalism", the only worthwhile contribution to the discussion has come from a member of Bluemoon sending a simple email to the organ grinder. Well done @Paladin !!

I was referring to the commission, not the lawyers.

And actually the rule you quoted related specifically to an appeal, which given we haven't had a decision then we won't have appealed.

I'm not saying that i'm itk and i'm not saying that i'm not itk but.......

Will Catherine wheel away in celebration?

No idea what you are talking about. If you mean my post of w.82 that is because you made up rule w.82.3 so I was showing you a) it didn't exist b) even if it did, which it didn't, as you say it is an appeal rule.

Either way there is no rule that you quoted - it was made up nonsense.

It’s absolutely ridiculous.
It really shouldn’t be happening, but it is.

Can everyone please stop saying “for the millionth time” for the millionth time?

You could make an argument that all that suggests is that they are confident of not being relegated. I'm not saying that is the case, but just making the point.
