Im waiting for the soft signal from @slbsn of an imminent imminent announcement, 1 of these hopefully upcoming mornings... "just on my way to London. Be on here later blues. Have a nice day ;-)"

I am heading into Central London in a bit and going on Talksport.

But not currently to talk about City unless it breaks before 12.30!

Interesting this. Must be soon then and also if both sides may take a victory means some wins and some losses - I'm making 2+2 = 10 here

Reads to me like we've issued a moratorium - there'll be no more Mr Nice Guy for anyone stepping over the line.
Amd that we're prepared to follow up with action regardless of whether we win each one or not. Which would be incredibly painful and risky for anyone who did.

Bodes well for me...

Very true that. And besides, the best derby goal (that I remember) was David Silva's volley to Edin Dzeko in the 1-6 anyway.

What is the current topic of conversation?
I'm not aware of what other legal things are going on

It’s got to be bollocks because if I have been paying attention to the likes of @slbsn and @petrusha the current stage will only deliver a verdict. If any of the alleged breaches are proven there will be a subsequent hearing to decide what punitive action is taken. If all alleged breaches are not proven then the subsequent hearing will consider who picks up the eye watering legal costs.

Of course I may have not been paying attention and just making up my version of the truth. If I am correct then nothing to see here so as you were :-)

And it turned out he was right, why didn't he write that?

It’s almost a circular argument. If they need us to provide ‘evidence’ and let’s assume we haven’t, whatever that means, how do they get to charge us in the first place?
Alternatively, they have enough evidence to charge us, so where does ‘non-cooperation’ fit it?

I have posited before that, in February 2023, the PL had allegations against the club that weren't adequately countered.

So they had to choose whether to refer the allegations to the disciplinary process, or to drop the whole thing. Dropping the allegations when they weren't properly countered would be a terrible look. Especially as the PL knew the club had previously provided relevant evidence (relating to third parties, for example) to CAS previously.

I am not at all surprised the PL referred the allegations and I am not at all surprised they included non-cooperation.

It's entirely possible the club's counter evidence will disprove all the other allegations, but that the club loses on the non-cooperation allegation. I am hoping not and I suspect there is a good argument against it, but it is entirely possible.
 
Oh, so Simon Cliff thinks he runs English football(for pointing out some proposed rules were unlawful and being proved correct), is that Oliver Holt's bullshit narrative now? How petulant.

Nothing to say about the owners of the American cartel clubs? The ones who actually initiated the PL push for the ESL, which he mentioned. Project Big Picture before that, which he and his cronies treated very softly and it very rarely ever gets brought up by any of them(chances of that, if it was an owner from the middle east?). Nothing said about the influence they seem to have over the PL CEO, who was plucked from a list of candidates vetted by just two clubs, Liverpool and United.

Rick Parry and David Gill's names popping up in all the wrong places but nothing to see, according to our balanced, agenda free sports press.

None of the problems in English football are anything to do with the old big sly 3 of course. They've never created any wealth gaps or bullied the PL into creating rules that protect any monopolies that they never gained in the 90s to early 00s. Rules which have damaged the English game more than they've helped, according to many neutrals now.

There's no way that fraud believes his own narrative there IMO, seems way too calculated in what he's chosen to ignore to push it.
