PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

Don't know what you are referring to re 0 LEI.

Don't think the 186 is saying the disciplinary is about RPTs - it may be but can't read such a redaction that way. I ask again though why the PL wouldn't have challenged the none RPT status of Etihad in any year since 2009 but make it a point in 2023. And if so, why not add a breach of the true and fair for each season since 2017/18 on this basis.

City would have engaged with whatever was a) required b) they felt served their purposes to convince the PL to cease the investigation. But it would not provide documents that would open up disclosure routes down the line ie it would only disclose documents it was always going to have to disclose if it went further.

Despite Gvardiol’s best efforts we managed to go in at HT (and subsequently FT) with a clean sheet…

well we don't know if the pleadings or whatever they call it was also wrong. Perhaps the PL's press team had an earlier version or something. It is sloppy but in the context of a 6 year process (so far) I would not give it the credence you suggest. They clearly have very capable lawyers both in the PL and, particularly, externally.

Again, I may be being naive on this one too and giving the other side far too much credit.

I guess it’s down to whether the press release was a legal or PR failing but it’s hard to see how the latter could operate in a vacuum.

And the wider failings of the PL when applying their own rules should also be weighed into the balance. It’s not like they’ve ever given the appearance of authority when it comes to applying their own rules.

I’m sure the legal professionals the PL have instructed are more than capable, but what makes you believe the in-house bods are?

And I don’t think someone as manifestly cautious as you could ever be correctly characterised as naive. I think that would be, to some extent, a contradiction in terms. You are naturally cautious and reserved when expressing your views. That is distinct from being naive.

He beat up Simon on Talksport in a most reserved manner!

If you say so ;-). Naively or cautiously, I don't believe the PL are morons and that small mistakes are made frequently without indicating a level of incompetence that some suggest.

Not sure I would characterise that as a small mistake. I’d be mortified to be associated with it, and I’d be surprised if you weren’t too.
