PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[Nellies left peg]

Wanky is more apt.

Spursy , ie useless and highly unlikely to win anything

Don’t forget an enforced sale of the club which the latest extra punishment for us.

Surely all this noise has to quieten down soon - they can’t keep repeating the same tripe day after day.

let them carry on, not a very fair hearing is it when the PL are about to throw the book at someone, if you get my drift

Remember when Stefan first appeared on talksport, he did pretty much read out the CAS verdict and align it to this case but all Jim White wanted to know was what punishment we get, they then put the headline out 'city financial expert says city will be relegated'.
When you notice all the media reports they all start with the allegations then lead onto possible punishment, not one report I have seen has gone into any sort of detail about the bit in the middle, the actual case itself.
I believe they are intelligent people and choose to ignore the CAS verdict and focus on clicks instead.

In the main I think that is true but occasionally you can also tell that they’re just lazy and misinformed.

No doubt the outcome will be announced days before a vital game to try and put us out of our stride as in the past

because it worked so well the last time they did that

For the PL, I'd say it shows there will be a lot of City witnesses the PL will want to cross examine - the senior juniors will need to work on cross examination plans aimed at extracting the answers the PL wants to undermine the credibility of witnesses ie make them look unreliable. In terms of KCs, it is likely because there are so many different areas of law - regulatory, civil fraud, accounting issues etc. For example Philip Marshall KC for City is a civil fraud specialist.

If that's what the senior juniors are doing, what exactly is the job of the junior seniors? Just to sit around and drink cappuccinos with croissants?

I’m not a fan of the idea that we go on the attack and try and sue clubs/people, claim damages etc. Just keep winning trophies and be top of the pile. That’s the best way to piss everyone off.

I think exposing the fraudulent activities of the Rags, Dippers and Chav's is very important, they're the key players trying to destroy our club. I want them to face charges and explain in forensic detail how they've managed to circumvent PSR and FFP rules when they've clearly failed to operate within the limits.

That story is so old they are referring to them as Law Lords ffs!

Different rules for costs under the Civil Procedure Rules and Arbitration Act 1996 (which I think this hearing is subject to). The issue of proportionality not being relevant to the latter, for example.

Successful litigants can be liable for some or all of the costs if their conduct merits it, especially if they’ve rejected offers to settle which are more advantageous than what they win, but that won’t be the case here if we’re successful, as our defence will be founded on protecting our reputation and no settlement would satisfy that aspiration.

Just because it’s old doesn’t negate the legality! Ask King John :-)

Hope you’re well pal.

Ogden. Never one to let the facts get in the way…..

Another thick moron who has not read the court documents.

The time for suing any party will be after the verdict. If we we are found innocent and a major voice still says we are guilty that’s when City will do something. Mr Tebas is a prime candidate as he can’t help himself.

 

[Cobwebcat]

I think there’s a good chance that we’ll be awarded costs, or a decent proportion at least, if we win. The idea that we’re going to start suing all of our detractors is fanciful at best though, as you say.

Tolmie did mention City intend to sue the PL for reputational damage though nobody can know that for sure.
