Is one problem City have, that no one seems clear on the punishment for each charge ? They seem open-ended.
If it were clear that (say) 20 of the charges just carried minor fines, it might pay City to concede them & give the Premier League a way out ?
The other big problem City have, is how to live with the Premier League & all the other clubs post-judgement. Even (in fact, especially) if we are found innocent on every charge, there's going to be a lot of bad feeling between us & (almost) everyone else.

“The game is the game.”The bottom line is if she works for the PL she’ll be a **** of the highest order.
But your premise is simply not true - certainly the APT Tribunal said nothing of the sort. I do think that there is some risk of severe criticism of the PLby the IC if they lose this case because if you bring such serious allegations you tend to be criticised if you fail and often penalised by a big costs order (FWIW).
I think this is where the “non-legal” see it differently to the lawyers & obviously you are correct from a legal point of view. However it’s apparent that arbitration panels try not to criticise but summarise in a way that the ordinary man in the street reads it differently.

You're the lawyer, and perhaps you're coming at the term 'good faith' from a technical point of view, but I fundamentally disagree that a party is acting entirely in good faith if it is found, on seven occasions, to have acted unreasonably, unfairly and unlawfully (against its own legal advice, no less!) against a member club.
I agree but don’t let me represent myself if I go to court ;)
If you are innocent of all chargeses how can there be bad feelings from everyone else.Is one problem City have, that no one seems clear on the punishment for each charge ? They seem open-ended.

They should be apologising !!!

You mean they talk different bollocks than we do?“The game is the game.”
