That's a very good point. People say "You signed up to the rules" and a limitation period is one of those rules. I've also made the point previously that it's completely fanciful to imagine back in 2010 that City thought "You know, we're probably going to get done for this stuff in a few years time so let's do all the dodgy stuff early, as it'll probably be time-barred when we are".Great article that my friend; I just which you’d emphasised the fact that the time limits are as much a part of the PL rules as the rules we have been accused of breaking. Arguably more so, as they supervene them eventually.
The press talk about the time limits as if they are a legal loophole. They are not. They are a key, core rule and understood by all parties at the outset.
Anyone who considers them as a legal loophole is a know nowt ****.
They must have spoken to all the candidates who turned the job down. Some of them may have spoken. Dinnage may have signed an NDA. I suspect the recruitment process for Masters goes to the heart of this whole saga. City must have checked this out.I bet they’ve tried.
It's not a local paper but the Manchester edition of the Mirror. They barely have any of their own staff so the content is a mix of soap gossip, national news and local news from other Reach regional outlets such as the Liverpool Echo with barely any genuine Greater Manchester content. Weekends are the same every time with articles like The Secret Village An Hour From Manchester all pre selected to go out at certain times.It it never occurred to the MUEN why no one reads their shitty paper anymore. I can’t think of a local paper that is so anti one of their local teams. They are a disgrace.
I skim read that shitty F365 article and I don’t recall Andy Gray saying he’d been told anything by anybody. He just gave his own opinion - that opinion being that he thinks we will be found guilty of at least some of the charges and that that would surely lead to a points deduction. I wouldn’t lose any sleep over it tbh.Andy gray said hes been told were going to get a points deduction that would make it impossible to survive relegation
Work around and not the spirt of the rules just means within the rules but not what people want you to do
I bet they’ve tried.

Colin, is it possible that the PL actually agree with your view of time barring and see that as their get-out. Where they can say to all their red backers we did our best but.....Posted my third and final piece on the charges here: https://kingofthekippax.substack.com/p/manchester-citys-pl-charges-part-d7d?r=iaf2s
Well, that's the press got their soundbite for the week ;-)That's a very good point. People say "You signed up to the rules" and a limitation period is one of those rules.
