PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

Anyway, this mate who heard this said he naturally wasn’t in the best of moods as the second half kicked off! However, he has plenty of other contacts in the media and at the club. One of his media contacts is someone who’s been his mate for the past 30-odd years and again is someone we all know as he errr, cough cough, posts on here ;) So he asked him if he’d heard anything about this so-called 40 point deduction. The answer he got back was along the lines of “That’s bollocks as they’ve not even done the summing up yet!”. This is a fair point as while I think both sides might have an inkling of how things are going at this stage, if the summing up hasn’t even started (or is just starting going off the pics that have been posted on here), let alone the panel then sitting down and spending months deliberating, I can’t see how anyone would know at this point in time what our punishment - if there is to be any - would be.
Summing up is what a judge does in a criminal trial. There is no need for this tribunal of law and fact to sum the case up to itself! In fact that would be seriously weird!

Closing, or closing arguments is more apposite.
 
That includes the respective parties and their professional advisers. As we've discussed in this thread before, lawyers quite often form an idea of whether or not a court or arbitration case has generally gone well for them, but every litigator I've known has stories about such impressions turning out to have been completely incorrect.
No idea what you’re talking about…
