PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[Stoned Rose]

i guess the IC will have an equally good idea as presumably they already know much of our defense

Im not sure when the IC would be given the bundle tbh. Probably one for @slbsn

OK, the thread starts by quoting slbsn saying no one should be certain about the outcome of any legal case …….

City claim to have irrefutable evidence to support their case …… I believe them ….

I give an example of a case I was involved in where I thought (and still do) that the evidence in favour of the defence was irrefutable but for probably emotional / humane reasons the magistrate gave a verdict that defied the facts of the case.

After some questioning by Kinkys Left Foot I give an example of another case where I think the prominence of media attention may have swayed the verdict, despite evidence to the contrary.

The details may be complex but I think the message in relation to City’s position and this thread is fairly clear.

In Greek mythology wasn't Cassandra's curse that she could accurately foretell the future but was destined to be disbelieved by everyone?

Bearing that in mind what do you think the outcome of the IC will be? (Half serious question).

True. One small aspect still causes me a touch of concern. CAS did clear us, great, but as those still circling snidely point out some of that was because some issues became time expired. Unlike in this open ended prem witch hunt. Am happy to be corrected.

Only open ended if fraud proven if not fraud UK contract law should apply.

It's been the whisper for a while City expect nothing more than a non-cooperation charge, a fine at best.

I’d take that outcome for sure.

Never.. I may have been (mostly) vegetarian for the past 30+ years (ever since my youngest daughter saw 'Babe' at age eight and instantly gave up meat..) but as Charlton Heston (sort of) put it, I can assure you that you will only ever prise my bacon butty or my sausage'n'mayo bap from my cold, dead hand..

Sausage & mayo?

What the actual fuck?

Are you an absolute dirty bastard, or am I going to have to a try sausage & mayo butty/roll/muffin/barm/bap?

I hope we’ve not been texting Jermaine Jenas or I fear it’ll be 215

The time Barring stuff has passed into myth.

It isn't true (that we got away with it all due to time bar) but off that bollocks whole articles have been written.

What you've read is probably that because we got away with it last time due to time barring, this time we won't because there's no time bar in the PL investigation.

Crazy they want to punish the club for 15 yr old accountancy discrepancies, back before 99% of us were even supporting the cloob
