PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[The perfect fumble]

That’s a bit of an understatement!

I'm buying a lettuce when the 115 verdict lands, let's see if it lasts longer than Masters.

Is the PL's contention then, that we've deliberately misinterpreted this?

I obviously don’t know but our auditors seem happy with the fact that they are not identified as related in the note on our accounts.

It would seem that's at least a significant part of their case.

In my opinion there's now a traceable path from CAS, who said that if the Abu Dhabi sponsors were related parties then we're potentially open to the charge of misreporting this in our accounts, to the APT case, where the cartel clubs also had the view that we had misreported this (maybe based on the CAS report), to the PL charges, which specifically mention related parties.

That seems to me to be the line of attack, in the absence of any other information regarding the sponsorships. But I don't believe it'll be a productive one. A bit like trying to stop a tank with a rolled-up newspaper.

Then I'll buy a vegetable that’s grown into a rude and amusing shape...

No way will the **** last 49 days if the verdict is as we both expect!

If I was ever tempted to change my username, then ‘Booz Allen’ would be a strong candidate.

I think you'd suit the username 'Bargain Booz' if you don't mind me saying so. :)

All of the actions speak for themselves. Deeds not words. Speech is about 18% of communication. But if you do need words, Pep told everyone that the other clubs wanted to beat us off the pitch. He knows the situation.
