PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[chris85mcfc]

They don't need a terribly high standard of evidence. They need enough circumstantial evidence (not proof) to tip the balance of probability. It's akin to 'given the evidence, would the average person believe City or the PL?'. Evidence in this case is the presentation of material that could be interpreted in ways that suggest City's guilt (or not). No smoking gun is necessary.
All of that said, it's not 51 vs 49. The evidence should be reasonably convincing.
I don't think the PL need or expect to win every argument, just enough to demonstrate City broke enough rules (deliberately) to be made an example of and appease a number of other PL members whilst being seen to be keeping their house in order.
If you will remember, the announcement of the 125 charges came in the face of the government turning its gaze on the effectiveness of the PL and the PL needed to demonstrate it could regulate itself... swiftly followed by similar action towards a few other clubs too.

The case is riddled with sporting and political agenda.

Stop posting you silly fool.

Has Cheeseman been able to confirm or deny the soft signals? (Sorry...;))

I heard it was £250 million + the rent from the Tesla dealership on ANW which they are renting from us !!

Schmart eh !!

Why do people post in a topic on which they clearly don't know or understand what they are talking about .

Hate to be one of those people but heard another positive soft signal (not transfer related) this morning. Seems to me that it would be incompatible with a finding of serious wrong doing at the club. I can't say anything specific but consistent with the other soft signals (being something in the background that would seem unlikely if a seriously negative outcome was coming from the case).

He was arrested in 2019 wasn't he? And on trial in 2020? I find it hard to believe he would still be in possession of his hacked material after the CAS verdict.

I think it’s likely he backed it up onto a USB stick.

Crumbs if it’s a question of what the average person would believe then we are truly fucked. Luckily I suspect that is bollocks

No mention of the Clapham Omnibus. Must be bollocks.

I reckon Stefan has got his snippet of info whilst banging the cleaner as she was telling him that a mate of her cousin 3rd removed in a supporters club was shagging Panick and he happened to let it slip....

Stefan won't be banging anything if hes giving out soft signals.

Thats's how you do it.

Serious question, do you have any expertise or experience on this topic because almost every sentence in the first paragraph is wrong. If you don’t have any domain expertise why reply and mislead the reader?

I disagree with most of the rest but that’s more opinion.

Probably due to the fact Leicester had to appeal the decision against them, so many worry it’s a stitch up and the PL are just going through the motions, much like when a company has already decided someone is being fired before due process as set out by ACAS for example.
