Very good post.I think it's fair to say some people are just a bit more pessimistic in their outlook on life in general. That just the way things are. At one or two points I don't mind admitting I have felt a bit down about the whole thing and felt that the PL and Cartel were going to make sure they got their way come whatever, especially with all the constant negative media crap we have had to endure. But then I have had a quick recheck and thought actually no, based on the evidence I have seen City have done nothing significantly wrong I've reminded myself of Khaldoons strong rebuffal of the accusations and thought bring it on.
Got to be found guilty firstMy own view is that it is likely to be a huge points penalty introduced during next season or the 25/26 season. Probably enough to relegate us to the Championship but definitely sufficient to knock us out of Europe. I just don't think they will attempt to relegate us into oblivion
Everyone is entitled to their own interpretation of the breaches, I have no problem with that. But what in your view happens to the PL, the red tops +1 if City are cleared at the tribunal and Khaldoons words, " irrefutable evidence" are ringing in their ears. In this instance I would leave out any view on non cooperation.My own view is that it is likely to be a huge points penalty introduced during next season or the 25/26 season.

Glad you have reloaded. I have never wavered in my belief that we have not falsified our accounts. I was supremely confident during the CAS case and posted “we will be cleared” several times.I think it's fair to say some people are just a bit more pessimistic in their outlook on life in general.

Do you think we're guilty then?My own view is that it is likely to be a huge points penalty introduced during next season or the 25/26 season. Probably enough to relegate us to the Championship but definitely sufficient to knock us out of Europe. I just don't think they will attempt to relegate us into oblivion.
Which charges do you think we’re guilty of?My own view is that it is likely to be a huge points penalty introduced during next season or the 25/26 season. Probably enough to relegate us to the Championship but definitely sufficient to knock us out of Europe. I just don't think they will attempt to relegate us into oblivion.
So what are talking about? The 26-27 season?Putting aside your reasons for holding this pessimistic view ( which I disagree with), it's probably too late to reach AND implement a decision of this magnitude all within the coming season - the hearing has still to be arranged and concluded, then the time needed to reach a decision and then the time for an appeal process to be lodged and concluded. So in view of the timescales involved we are probably looking at a decision in the next closed season to allow the whole process to be concluded within 2025/6.
I’m hoping, and firmly believe either way, that the case we have brought against the PL will prove or at least demonstrate to them that their definition of non cooperation is flawed and that we were justified in our business protective actions.Everyone is entitled to their own interpretation of the breaches, I have no problem with that. But what in your view happens to the PL, the red tops +1 if City are cleared at the tribunal and Khaldoons words, " irrefutable evidence" are ringing in their ears.
