PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

Here’s hoping it does finish early so that Lord Pannick can get back to demanding maximum compensation for our other case!!
 
The perfect fumble said:
I'll tell you what I think it means.

We've won.

Why?

Coz if the Premier League has nailed our bollocks to the floor in record time, we'd go down swinging, using every second and all means possible to prove our innocence, no way would we agree to throw in the towel early. Besides, when the judgement comes in it'll be close to six years since the investigation began, they've not managed to nail us in six years! I doubt they've been able to suddenly do it in six weeks.

Why?

Because, as those who know the ins and outs of this case have stated on numerous occasions, in the absence of a smoking gun, and there's never been any indication the Premier League has such a thing. It was always going to be immensely difficult and time consuming for the Premier League to prove fraud on this scale, over such a long period, involving so many people. I would argue that a lengthy "trial" would be a prerequisite for the Premier League to win such a complex case

Complex cases take time, "trials" cut short for want of evidence do not, and has been stated many times, this "trial is a house of cards, if fraud cannot be proven once, it cannot be proven for a whole chunk of the 115, and given the fact that the Mancini and Yaya nonsense is clearly small potato bollocks, this shit show always had the potential to collapse quickly if the Premier League had fuck all.

I'm not a lawyer so this is just my opinion, and I'm assuming we have leverage with the independent commission to demand time to slug it out to the final round if needs must. But if we do have such leverage, Khaldoon doesn't seem minded to call it a day early if we're on the ropes, he'd only do that if our opponent was out for the count.

Agreed. In my non-lawyer opinion if the PL had a financial paper trail proving that the ‘sponsorships’ were a vehicle for funnelling owner funds into the club, then City would have pleaded out this case and done a deal before it even got to the charging stage. If the PL refused to allow a ‘deal’ then the charges would have been targeted on the financial paper trail the PL had as its evidence and not this ‘115 fishing trip.’

It’s a dog and pony show.

Week six
Real Tolmie Hairdoo on Twitter: the case is not going the full ten weeks.
 
Until we get our outcome most blues couldn't give a flying "what's it" about public accountability, but I hope the IR will grasp the nettle. In future, every single IC should be streamed live on YouTube, plus whatever platforms are in vogue. It's not life or death, it's footy, so no more secrecy, let's hear exactly what these PL lawyers have got to say and what evidence they possess. One day it might be a cartel team in the dock, don't hold your breath.
 
Maybe that arsenal fan from twitter was right and we haven't put up any defence to the charges and that's why it's ending early.
