Well, well.
I'll tell you what. After the refusal of the clubs to change the rules following Chelsea's hotel nonsense, and after this, if the tribunal rules at all in favour of City on the APT case and the PL is found to have applied illegal rules and has to change them it would be an embarrassment to the PL like never before. The APT verdict suddenly becomes very important.
How is that "looking tough" to hold back an independent regulator looking now, Mr Masters?
What a mess.

Did we relent and give him a cake off the books?14, from what I can recall (although I think that includes alleged undisclosed payments to Yaya Toure as well).

PL - ' yes, any club can go to appeal and we will abide by any decision '.
Sky, BBC, newspapers- 'judges enemies of the people and let Foxes off'.
Clockwork.

Unless I'm missing something the biggest take away is that the independent commission aren't afraid to side against the PL. Which is hopefully a good sign.
As for the approach LCFC used to defeat the charges, it would still be described as City getting off on a technicality again, if City attempted to use it for for the Mancini payment or the false accounting accusations. So I'd rather that be last resort after proving: No related parties paid any of the sponsorship money after all. Mancini did provide the services he was paid for to a club in the UAE and there was no reason this should have gone on Manchester City's accounts. Have at it with the non-cooperation bollocks though.
