Assuming that the hearing really was scheduled for ten weeks. We don't even have confirmation of that, do we?
Can't see everything being kept quiet until then.There is no news of note. The hearing was scheduled for ten weeks, it looks like it will run for ten weeks, finish at the end of next week and then we can expect a judgment in several months.
I still think March for the outcome.
Until the panel release their judgement then the rest is just froth. Both sides could brief that they have done well but it means nothing. As the club seemingly haven't briefed at all in the entire process I wouldn't expect it now anyway.Can't see everything being kept quiet until then.
It will be good news and we will certainly release stuff one way or another.
There is a january window to navigate which could be huge for our season.
I would have said the same but somehow we are here with these proceedings despite arguments over jurisdiction at the beginning. Presumably for this reason. In which the court found against city in favor of premier league surely the correct setting was court but apparently notOn your first point, I find it incredible that that is apparently legal. Sure, for the good if the sport, only put what the PL considers as fmv income in the FFP P/L. But no, they gave given themselves the authority to tell a third party, not governed by PL contract and very likely in a different country, to enter into a new contract for a lower amount. They have even given themselves the power to increase the amount the third party pays if they consider it undervalued. I still can't understand how that is legal.
On your other two points, I have been saying that since early last year. It's one of the many reasons I think the PL doesn't have a chance of finding the club guilty of the most serious charges. What panel is going to make a "guilty" finding then to have a criminal investigation not even started, refused on the grounds of insufficient evidence or to have one concluded without a guilty verdict. Yes, the lawyers can talk about different jurisdictions with different standards of proof, but it would be hugely destructive to the reputation of the PL and its disciplinary procedures. I am pretty sure the panel will bear that in mind when coming to their conclusions even applying a higher standard of proof than usual. Super-cogency, if you will.
Are you sure about this? How would that work?On your first point, I find it incredible that that is apparently legal.

Anyone else thinking this is the same guy?

*makes mental note not to believe anything he says in future*No, but I'm not sure how any of it can work, tbh :)
