That is true. I still don't trust the process though remembering that 'learned' UEFA appointed judges found us guilty and then CAS overturned their ruling. The APT hearing has though shown me that they are prepared to act independently. There isn't much we can usefully say at least I don't think so.Or maybe that we as a public just have no idea how long it really should take.
More like 12 to 18 yearsThe decision we are waiting for is the binary guilty or not guilty. Not the punishment.
Appeals could follow suit from whatever side is not victorious and that will again drag out either an ultimatum or punishment decision.
As Stefan has said on talkSPORT numerous times, the punishment, if there is one, won't be announced until a later date, maybe next year I think he even said.
As I said, you could have appeals on both decisions as well.
This whole thing will be dragged out for another 12/18 months in my opinion. Until finalised.
Premature exasperation?I think that tomorrow is 5 weeks since we had the giddy Friday where, for some reason, there were serious rumours that the announcement was about to be made and this thread kicked into overdrive. Is it safe to say we went a bit early then....?
Hopefully the Panel will remember the individual115 plus accusations and their reasons to reach its verdict if the writing up is so separate from the cases.I expect she knew the identity of the killer before she wrote the first page!
Because clubs they weren't targeted are now falling foul of restricted rulesHas anyone explained why UEFA and the premier league seem to have gone soft ?
Our UEFA sanctions vs clubs now
premier league early sanctions vs seemingly no one failing despite the appearance of the opposite.
Surely sanctions should get tougher with time as clubs should have to work less hard to comply with older rules
We went to Northenden County Primary so Janice Cooke won't have been in your class at Green Snot.I knew a couple of Janice's but they were also in my class at school. She may well have been there when I was there as well.
Exactly.I expect she knew the identity of the killer before she wrote the first page!
I get you, and all City fans, want the verdict first but I don't think that is the way they legal fraternity do it.Think your missing the point
Cheers for the update AhsanSpeculative piece to fill a slow news void. There’s been no indication of a timeframe. Verdict could still land tomorrow.
Then it's not a slam dunk for the Premier League either.The longer this goes on - the more worried I am getting. Seems like it's not slam dunk either way but very complex. Here was me hoping we would have easily batted the charges away as maybe Khaldoon had suggested
There was no way we were ever going to just bat these charges away or there wouldn't have been a hearing and it wouldn't have lasted 12 weeks. Nothing has changed mate.The longer this goes on - the more worried I am getting. Seems like it's not slam dunk either way but very complex.

Yep. It's not a football match with stoppage time. The IC will take the time for a considered verdict and we'll get it when they've reached it. The problem is that the writers. employed by the PL, could suffer from repeated attacks of writer's cramp.Or maybe that we as a public just have no idea how long it really should take.
I'd imagine that writing up the results take just as long whether your doingThe longer this goes on - the more worried I am getting. Seems like it's not slam dunk either way but very complex. Here was me hoping we would have easily batted the charges away as maybe Khaldoon had suggested

I did Bleak House for A level English lit, that's triggered my PTSDok...im gonna post this again...from Bleak House. Charles Dickens.
“Jarndyce and Jarndyce drones on. This scarecrow of a suit has, in course of time, become so complicated that no man alive knows what it means. The parties to it understand it least, but it has been observed that no two Chancery lawyers can talk about it for five minutes without coming to a total disagreement as to all the premises. Innumerable children have been born into the cause; innumerable young people have married into it; innumerable old people have died out of it. Scores of persons have deliriously found themselves made parties in Jarndyce and Jarndyce without knowing how or why; whole families have inherited legendary hatreds with the suit. The little plaintiff or defendant who was promised a new rocking-horse when Jarndyce and Jarndyce should be settled has grown up, possessed himself of a real horse, and trotted away into the other world. Fair wards of court have faded into mothers and grandmothers; a long procession of Chancellors has come in and gone out; the legion of bills in the suit have been transformed into mere bills of mortality; there are not three Jarndyces left upon the earth perhaps since old Tom Jarndyce in despair blew his brains out at a coffee-house in Chancery Lane; but Jarndyce and Jarndyce still drags its dreary length before the court, perennially hopeless.
It's probably going on a long time because there are a lot of words to write, writing words meaning that we are guilty probably takes the same amount of time as writing words that we are not, and everywhere in between.The longer this goes on - the more worried I am getting. Seems like it's not slam dunk either way but very complex. Here was me hoping we would have easily batted the charges away as maybe Khaldoon had suggested
