You would be hard-pushed to find someone as ill-informed about football as Goldstein. That said he does work for MUFC in a media capacity so I wouldn't be surprised if that rumour was circulating at the swamp. Perhaps it was started by agent Berrada.

It also squares with what @Manchester33 heard directly from a contact within the club - that some charges were effectively dead in the water before the hearing started. Whether the IC would’ve still spent time discussing them at the hearing is another matter - and my guess is that they would still have to consider them as some kind of box-ticking exercise - but the club were super confident about the outcome of those, just as they are about the whole thing.

Of course, they might’ve misjudged it badly, and Stefan always says you never know for sure even if you have what looks like a slam dunk of a case, but I don’t think they would put out noises as emphatic as that if they thought it was 50-50.

If we do get cleared of all the main charges, I’m still expecting the IC to give the PL a token win on the non-cooperation charges to save them from total humiliation.

Not a chance that United recruit Berrada and Pep signs his new contract if this case has gone badly. We have had negative leaks to the media from rival Club Directors for a decade but nothing negative to City has been leaked about the 115 case in recent months. You can never predict an outcome from Judges 100 per cent but both sets of lawyers will know where the weight of evidence (or lack of evidence) lies. The lawyers on both sides will have briefed their clients and comms plans will be being prepared for the likely outcome. So the PL board knows the situation. Throughout all this someone from the PL leadership has been leaking to our rival Club Directors who have then been leaking to the media. I believe the only reason the leaks have dried up is that there is no negative information about City to leak.

The last sentence nails it. If there was anything bad, the PL leaks like a sieve with ‘good’ news.

If we win on all of them then I'm going to pay a personal visit to RAWK head office and have a big fuck-off steaming dump on their desk and spend every day for the next 10 years gloating about our win to all their cunty moderators! In fact, I might just do that anyway if we only get done on non co-operation.

As much as I agree. I think with the size of this case and implications. All parties have been keeping the noise down especially as they don't want any hiccups about leaking news.

I'm nervous as hell about the outcome. I have spoken to a few friends who have done some work with City. The only thing they have said is "openly City are very confident and have been positive with all staff and its business as usual". But there are only a small number of people internally who know what is really going on.

Let hope their messages are true. I find it interesting - the PL are acting bullish with the APT
