PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

I won a bet vs my whole office once. I said the blue Fry’s chocolate cream was fondant flavour. Everybody else said it was mint flavour. I rang up Cadburys and put them on speaker phone….of course they were all mistaken.

The World’s oldest chocolate bar brand by the way.

One of my finest days ;-)

In other news…we have to wait until the Summer for the verdict?! Bloody hell.

The APT award was 90 pages and took 3 months. People expecting this to be 300-400 pages at least.

Complete naivety here but it's unknown to me why they can't release simplified decisions in the meantime with full written judgements to follow at a later date. Charges A,B,C dismissed, X, Y , Z upheld etc (or something in that manner).

Yeah can't help but see it in a negative way. If a points deduction is incoming, to do it in the summer so it is in place for the start of a season and not to muddy the waters of the current season.

Hope I am completely wrong, just want it over whatever the result.

If the panel is genuinely independent, they should have no interest in anything beyond the judgement and the sanction (if any). Certainly not what is most convenient for one party or the other. Given the high likelihood of appeal either way, the judgement needs to be watertight and that takes time.

How do you appeal against it if you don't know the detail?

Correct. The usual suspects are gleefully using this to push their "guilty" agenda. Just ignore the trolls and the weak minded.

It might be because it's a massive document to write up. We will know the result the moment the document is completed.

I ask not for the first time why are they now writing up a decision.
I think the document should predate the decision to show its reasoning not to justify it.
