PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[eastlandsblue]

This is true in all litigation - you'd focus on your strong claims and not dilute them with loads of noise from other matters. The PL chose a kitchen sink approach which I think is a mistake. But I don't think it necessarily signals that they expect to lose the serious ones. It really would be a strange move to pursue a case of this nature without confidence in the core of the case.

The non cooperation charges will recoup some of they’re cost

I’m still of the opinion. If they had a magic bullet, they’d have instantly fired it

2000 pages in 6 months. Result expected January/February? I’m predicted it topping out at 11k if the result isn’t appealed.

If it’s appealed fuck knows

optics are everything and you know that as well as i do tbf

To you and me, yes. Not sure it carries much weight in the hearing, though

it doesnt carry much weight in a legal hearing , you are correct but ask yourself this when you are arguing the semantics of the pl acting in bad faith then surely the whole thing is how it looks because bar any emails showing them expressly saying they are doing this for malicious reasons then acting in good or bad faith would be entirely subjective and when something is entirely subjective then the optics are quite important.

Is this the longest ever thread on BM, 8000 pages atm?

Obviously it will have to go in the Classics thread when it is finally locked, if that ever happens?

They've been playing the Music Association game in Off Topic since 2009 and it's now at 13,000 pages.

@halfcenturyup accounts for about 1500 of those, one of these days he'll get a proper job ;)

City can't be paying to towards the costs of charging City !

The PL will try, claiming all costs are shared by 20 clubs.
