He needs a good kicking in the semantics

Both entail an act which is contrary to what is lawful. Whist they aren’t identical, as one tends to deal with what is proscribed by law and the other where it’s outside the bounds of the law, any comparison between the two is intellectually dishonest in the context of the subject matter, namely a clause in an agreement, which his only going to be criminal in the most extreme of circumstances.
Through the prism of rules that one organisation subjects the other to, unlawfulness is egregious. Any attempt to claim it’s not illegal is both a non-sequitur and simple semantics.
It’s akin to claiming that because you didn’t get sent to jail for speeding that provides some form of mitigation when it’s not an imprisonable offence.
It’s dishonest misdirection, nothing more.
Like I said previously, no point engaging with the ****.
I am not sure I understand what your saying or what your referring to but my point is that in order to have created the false accounts in the way that is suggested by the Premier league we would have had to have committed fraud which is illegal so I don’t think he is wrong to say this

Sorry mate, I think we are at cross purposes.
I assumed (even) he wouldn’t be so stupid as to compare what City have been alleged to do, with what the PL has has been judicially found to do.
What City have been accused of is unquestionably criminal. It’s a fraudulent conspiracy. All day.
But likely to be blown out of the water. So nothing to compare this stage.
Thought he was simply trying to downplay the extent of the PL fuck up.
Anyway, I’m done talking about the **** for the day!
Illegal is a breach of a law.
Unlawful is ‘found not to be allowed by reference to specified legal principles.’ ‘Illicit’would serve better.

Me too, but sexual preference is up to each individual.

Also, The Competition Act 1998 has criminal sanctions provided for under sections 42-4 and the power to compel a defaulting party to act in a particular way under sections 32-35 as well as the power to impose civil penalties under sections 36-40 So breaching that Act is potentially a criminal act and thereby an imprisonable offence, although most likely it would end in a fine.
Sounds pretty illegal to me.
