I think it would be a lot worse for us than the PL.

At the same point in the UEFA case...I totally get all that.
I just have this thing whizzing round my head of “why the fuck would the prem go to this extreme” without thinking they have proof?
As stefan said in the Unofficial Partner podcast….
Either way , whoever is the victor, the other is going to have to face pretty catastrophic consequences
"Why the fuck would UEFA go to this extreme" without thinking they have proof?
... but the difference then was that we had recourse to genuinely independent arbitration in CAS.
My big worry is just how independent will the IC and a second IC (appeal process) be?
I know Stefan has tried to reassure us on this point but I still worry.

Bit of Dickens...Im sure yer all familiar with...Bleak House.
replace PL V MCFC ....with...
Jarndyce and Jarndyce drones on. This scarecrow of a suit has, over the course of time, become so complicated, that no man alive knows what it means. The parties to it understand it least; but it has been observed that no two Chancery lawyers can talk about it for five minutes without coming to a total disagreement as to all the premises. Innumerable children have been born into the cause; innumerable young people have married into it; innumerable old people have died out of it. Scores of persons have deliriously found themselves made parties in Jarndyce and Jarndyce without knowing how or why; whole families have inherited legendary hatreds with the suit. The little plaintiff or defendant, who was promised a new rocking-horse when Jarndyce and Jarndyce should be settled, has grown up, possessed himself of a real horse, and trotted away into the other world. Fair wards of court have faded into mothers and grandmothers; a long procession of Chancellors has come in and gone out.
Fantastic. Timeless stuff.

Don’t really post or claim to understand the ins and outs of this , but if the independent panel find that City are guilty of fraud over a ten year accounting period , am I correct in thinking that the police will the pursue the individuals responsible ?

These accusations from the Premier League have far deeper ramifications than they first thought.
I really don't think they have thought it through.

The police, the HMRC, Trading Standards and the SFO should have done their dawn raids on the club, the personnel involved, the sponsors connected with us.Don’t really post or claim to understand the ins and outs of this , but if the independent panel find that City are guilty of fraud over a ten year accounting period , am I correct in thinking that the police will the pursue the individuals responsible ?
If this is fraud on an industrial scale, and believe me the twats in the press and on social media believe it is, then I can categorically say that we would have been raided by now.
It's as simple as that.
We haven't even had a text, a call or a knock on the door.
What does that tell you?

Either way it doesn’t look good, they accuse the vice president of Abu Dhabi of industrial strength fraud and throw a £4 billion asset out of the Premier League. Other way is City destroy the Premier League in court leaving public opinion in uproar as City ‘got off’.
