I get that, but if the verdict was no punisment for lack of evidence that would be interpreted very differently to No evidence of any wrong doing.It would allow inuendo to continue,mind you any verdict will do that too.It's not a criminal trial. The PL have to prove their allegations to a certain standard, which is lower than 'beyond reasonable doubt' and more like 'on the balance of probabilities'. UEFA had to meet this requirement at CAS, and didn't (bar the non-cooperation charge) and the verdict was essentially 'not proven to the required standard'.

Yeah it almost certainly won't be once and for all, as good as that sounds.

As others have pointed out, it is terrible wording from Purple Panel in that tweet, and that could be all there is to it.

Don't think there's anyway Purple Panel could know what the outcome will be, think i's a guess but certainly not a wild guess.As others have pointed out, it is terrible wording from Purple Panel in that tweet, and that could be all there is to it.
We will 100% be found guilty of non cooperation, that maybe the best scenario for the PL.That's not a thing outside of Scotland, as far as I know.
I get your point though. A 'fudge' that clears us but leaves enough to speculation isn't helpful.
Unfortunately it is almost inevitable, and we still see the CAS verdict widely misrepresented, so I'd take being cleared in any way it comes.

That should be our next play
We should announce we have had enough of the controversy and continued deformation of our club/ brand are going to investigate joining another league or the Super league
See what reaction that brings

Why ?

Can you explain why or even how you think it will? Given everything we have seen to date.
The various interpretations and suggestions of guilt and getting away with it will continue, whatever way the verdict goes. It is naive to think otherwise imo.

Should the completely corrupt and unfair happen, and the biased finding goes against us, I wonder how far some will go in supporting the club's response.That should be our next play
