PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

City went to the commercial court to challenge the PL's right to see who the club regarded as commercially sensitive information as they were concerned that the data would a) be valuable to the PL as a commercial entity and b) would leak to rival clubs They lost the case City then had no option due the commercial court's ruling but to make the information available Also the judge ruled that the verdict could be made public which was appealed by the club supported by the PL however the appeal judge dismissed the appeal thus the PL's investigation became public It seems surprising to me that the club could be charged with non-cooperation unless the PL expected that they had the right to wholesale access why as City would release documents upon request

It would be interesting if there was evidence the premier league did leak to rival clubs.

On cooperation, I wouldn’t assume anything. There will be good arguments even on that set of charges. “Exceptional cooperation” is a reason for mitigation but some of those matters assume, I would say, infer you don’t breach unless really obstructive and unreasonable. We don’t know what City did (challenging in the HC doesn’t seem to me to be non cooperation per se) and one would assume post the HC case they complied even if reluctantly and in a generally resistant mode. That isn’t massively unusual in disputes. Anyway this is what is “exceptional cooperation”. I think we can assume City won’t get mitigation (!) but punished? Not clear. View attachment 141338

It's probably my reading of that but it feels like the PL were hoping for more to back up their “exceptional cooperation” requests?

Not sure about that, but it is above my head anyway. Always thought that it was CAS upholding the non cooperation charges, that gave the PL the belief that they could legitimately charge City 35 more times, and are not the 6 charges carried over from the UEFA disaster non cooperation?

2 cases are very different on non cooperation. Different rules and very different levels of disclosure and cooperation

What concerns me about this case is that we don’t know what we are accused of or if there is new evidence regarding the 54 charges of Misrepresentation of Financial Information. The major threat to City lies in whether the Premier League has new evidence that they have either uncovered themselves or obtained from FootyLeaks/Pinto/EIC. If the latter, which is the source of this entire situation, claims that there is more material and that data has been shared with authorities, it is worrying.

Well, it seems to be worrying to you, everybody else just seems to be laughing at your nonsense.
