I saw him in Sainsbury's on Regent Road once. Fortunately he didn't have a knife wielding, psychopathic rent boy in tow....

Thought they turned the building into flats, but not 100% sure. Yeah i played football therel a few times myself on them pitches.The building for the club is still there, think it’s a listed building. Makes me sad seeing it sat in the middle of those new builds, loved playing football on there.

My parents live in Failsworth so always give it a glance when I drive down Broadway, it’s always head fences round it. Love Avros though.
The clerk has been at the port again.Fuck off that’s Norris Cole and Fred Elliott, I say Fred Elliott!

As a layman I 100% accept this, but must admit I am completely baffled. How does all that evidence get mapped into the 130 specific charges across 13 years, at least 13 versions of the PL Handbook and 13 sets of accounts. Let's say eg, Simon Pearce was questioned again about his famous email which related to one sponsorship and in one FY. What specifc charges are relevant to his testimony ? Was this the reason it took 18 months to reach a hearing, ie the mappings were all agreed beforehand. I can see one hell of a master spreadsheet would be needed to manage the complexity. I have always assumed the ruling will state an outcome on every single charge, Maybe it will just do 13 outcomes, so one per year.As you say, there is no chance the hearing was divided by charges. It’s divided into openings, witness evidence and cross examination, experts and closings. If it’s running slightly short it will likely be because less time than expected was required for cross examination of certain witnesses or, potentially, the experts agreeing with each other.

“The PL were unable to show any cogent evidence that City broke any rules. We find for City in every case.”

There’s a huge amount at stake. At that level, if you want the best, in commercial terms, you’ll want to give yourself the best possible chance. So I get that. Totally.The gross spend on Pannick I heard was so high I didn’t believe it but the source was high quality so not sure
Whatever it is, he’ll be worth it. Those guys, at the very top of the Bar, are on another level to the rest of the profession. Essentially the difference between KDB and Johnjo Shelvey.
Presumably Adam Lewis falls into the same category as Pannick though?There’s a huge amount at stake. At that level, if you want the best, in commercial terms, you’ll want to give yourself the best possible chance. So I get that. Totally.
