PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[Stoned Rose]

Ah you say that, but over in the alternative facts land of red cafe,

Approx:
’the media is so far up City’s arse, they barely mention it (115), it’s getting clearer everyday which journalists are getting brown envelopes from them.’

I wonder if the PL will call the company we buy our brown envelopes from as witnesses. Must be a fucking lot of transactions between us.

I wonder if we pay the brown envelopes supplier with brown envelopes?

Assuming he’s a witness. It’s perfectly conceivable he isn’t. Difficult to tell in the absence of any particulars around the evidential basis for the charges.

I couldn’t see why he would be a witness.

I think some misunderstand this case and expect Lord Pannick to put him on the stand and try and break the story of why PSR and the companies that control it.

This seems to me to be different to what the case is and I think our witness evidence etc. will be showing we are innocent.

The other may come a different day but I expect not.

Completely deluded. It really beggars belief

The guy is an absolute shithouse. Don't forget this is the spineless **** who refused to be at our stadium to hand the PL Trophy over in May. Sent his deputy.

Sent his boss :)

Why ask for all the PL correspondence if you aren't going to question them about it?

I’m not saying no to PL, I’m saying I don’t think it will be Masters.

I would have thought it would absolutely be Masters, no? Can't think of one reason why it wouldn't be? May be one, I suppose.

The only disclosure from the PL would have been related to specific points - this idea that City asked for “all PL correspondence” has always been nonsense. Just doesn’t work like that.

Seeing some people asking if city's evidence at the beginning is so strong could charges be dropped.
Different scenario but hopefully might produce some optimism.
I was in crown court on a 2 week trial (as the accused) on day 1, after the jury was sworn in, the prosecution presented its case against me and others. The judge called up the prosecution barrister and directly asked him what the case was against me. The barrister replayed a video of my actions, the judge pulled a de-niro type face saying 'really'.
I still had to go through all the process, cross examination and everything else.
The judge stated in his closing speech to the jury to basically not to find me guilty. The jury found me not guilty.
Think the point I'm making is even if it's a slam dunk for city on day one, I imagine the whole process will have to be completed and concluded.

Media are in overdrive. Creaming themselves. "All our players are now plotting their exit, we will be banned from every competition, and will be lucky if the local sunday league will accept us...
