PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[Chris-NCL]

I'm no lawyer but that sounds highly illegal?

No. It is common practice in civil cases, if you win a civil dispute, either the judge will also apply that they have to do so, or you can go to court again to cover the costs.

This is interesting:

"Sources have told Football Insider the Premier League could now propose new rules are brought in [after the 115 case] to ensure the majority of its legal fees are paid for by a club if they are proven to have committed a financial breach."

Maybe they could better put themselves in a position that they don't have to keep charging clubs with "financial" offences .....

Classic PL. pressed by the Yanks to get all litigious they then reserve the right to moan about the cost. Perhaps they should focus on their error strewn processes as a cause of so many legal wrangles.

I use to ponder such things as, why can't other players see what super Kev sees, why does Doku wait for a second defender to be marking him before going on a run, why does Pep not make subs when it looks like a game is going down the bog etc etc. Now I struggle to get beyond the lawfare were embroiled in. This podcast with Nick De Marco KC is very very revealing, and maybe a glimpse intio the future, ie even more legal battles. If you have a spare hour...

But that's the court adjudging costs, surely you can't bake into the rules that if you breach them, then you have to pay all costs?

Is it possible that a verdict might not even be reached in this case. I know very little about legal matters, sorry

It's very technical how they decide legal outcomes.
It's above the levels of you and I, unfortunately.

Aren’t those rules already there, the loser picks up the majority of the costs?

Well yes, but you can see what they are getting at.

It sounds highly unnecessary to this non-lawyer but I guess it's only a problem if they try to push it too far?
