PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[halfcenturyup]

I couldn't understand your response at first but think I've got it now.

There's a big difference in doing something that's deliberately deceptive and doing something you believe you have good grounds for. It's the difference between acting in bad faith and good faith.

For example, we proved to the comfortable satisfaction of the CAS panel that the Etihad sponsorship wasn't disguised equity investment, as we presented evidence that it had come from a source other than ADUG. So unless the PL has an email or other evidence that specifically contradicts that testimony, they will struggle to prove it. If they do have cogent evidence that there was a conspiracy to lie and mislead the panel, then we would be in serious trouble.

Same for Fordham. We didn't do that to hide expenses but to bring in revenue. I assume we took good legal and financial advice about that, and that we didn't act in deliberate bad faith. But the IC could potentially still find us in breach of something, but not that we acted deceptively.

Fair enough, thanks.

Worth every penny. I started to read that article but stopped halfway as it wasn't saying anything.

If we win or lose we and the league are fucked, that's the take is it? Those bitter red bastards have really done a number on their golden Goose.

Can’t find the original post from the person saying why haven’t we just taking the alleged offered 6 point deduction for an easier life

Would you take a reduced sentence of 5 years for a crime you haven’t, and can you prove you haven’t, committed?

Hi I think the original post about the notion of a 6 point deduction is on page 7005.

The way this tribunal is going on it will come to a head in the year 7005.

It's Masters who has allowed the PL to be manoeuvred into that position. The idiot.

I was going to comment on the article but with every sentence you’d summed it up, fucking tedious ****!

Whether it’s Ronay or Liew or the rest of the lickspittles they make me think they only write about football to appear as if they are on a social project, like a graduate taking a gap year of rainforest conservation before getting a marketing job in mining.
