That depends on who interviews him/her for the job. If it’s anything like Masters, United and Liverpool seemed to have the biggest say.I have heard people more knowledgeable than me say that an appeal is likely either way - but I just can’t see it if the ruling is in City’s favour.
In that scenario Masters is finished and will resign immediately.
You then have someone else coming in with a perfect opportunity to draw a line under the whole situation.
I just don’t see any scenario where the new chief executive will allow the stain of the most badly-judged litigation in the history of sport to bleed over into his/her reign.
They will want to make their mark and claim a new era for the premier league - that can’t done with the financial and reputational shadow of an appeal hanging over it.
If we win Masters should be sued for defamation and whatever city can hit him with.I have heard people more knowledgeable than me say that an appeal is likely either way - but I just can’t see it if the ruling is in City’s favour.

It is not 115 as well.lolThe “exact date” and “could” in the same sentence makes it meaningless!
That will awarded upon appeal but we'll take a hit and agree with 5.They should give us +10 points for all the shit they've caused!
Well said Kaz. Utter bellend that one. One of the very few I have on ignoreWhat would you want me to do? Cry? Stop watching us play ?
I find it hard to believe our owner, chairman , soriano , all our auditors and sponsers got together to commit fraud for a decade . They are accusing us of fraud on a grand scale , do you believe we did that ?
Talking of blind loyalty when was the last time you went to anfield with your red and white scarf?Haha, if ever we need an example of blind loyalty there we go. You would have to think less of people at the club if they have gone out of their way to fiddle the books, we know the reasons why we might have done it and there will be leeway. We should feel disappointed that the club has lied to us as a minimum though. The whataboutery gave me a chuckle too. Our creative accounting will have been more than others, because of their goalpost change we will have had to close the financial gap as much as possible, a lot more than others.
We can agree on one thing though, just wanting it over. I am hopeful the club have told the truth to us along the way.
