My confidence in the Club winning this was 100% but I also had 100% confidence we'd buy a proper left back!

Interesting that Ziegler says this:

"The leadership of the Premier League, which is acting as the prosecutor in the case, will also be under close scrutiny when the hearing comes to a conclusion."

That's not something that any of the journalists - Martin Samuel aside - ever bother to state in their articles so I'm surprised Ziegler has mentioned it.

He's just trying to be balanced.

If the verdict takes a long time would it not suggest that our "irrefutable evidence" may not be irrefutable?

I think it's more likely that with billions at stake everyone wants to ensure the verdict is as airtight as possible, and even "irrefutable" evidence will be carefully examined. I doubt the timing is suggestive of the ruling going one way or the other.

But I do believe it's in the best interest of all parties to settle this before the season ends. An adverse finding + unresolved appeal could destroy any business we have planned for the transfer window. Even the spectre of an adverse finding could. But equally the league will also want to avoid any uncertainty and potential claims from teams that they were wronged when the decision was delayed.

for this to have gone the distance and the teams to go away and come back for final deliberations, tells me it's not a slam dunk as we thought we may have.

On the flip side - its not the slam dunk that the haters assumed.

Nerve racking !!

It was always going to go the distance as per timetabling and there was always going to be a break for deliberations its how these things work.

Gone the distance? But that Tarquin on X said we had no defence and had folded faster than Arse in a title run-in!

We’d have had to either have admitted guilt to some charges or the PL would have had to drop some of them for it to be shorter. No reason for either to happen, other than to save on costs, which are insignificant in the round.

Why start now?

Yup, we’re winning in this thread.

Yes but it's only half time.

I wouldn't read too much into it. The length of the hearing probably has as much to do with the amount of witnesses we called as anything else. Also, the PL is so entrenched in its position that they would probably proceed with the case against us regardless of how strong our evidence is.

the finding or summing up have got to be watertight to or like APT still waiting for guidelines and votes being taken that might still be unlawful
