PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

Although there could be limitation arguments here a) it’s probably moot either way as PL would argue the matters were concealed b) it’s not entirely clear how limitation fits into disciplinary cases (like this) vs arbitration cases (under rule X).

That's interesting. The messaging in here, as far as I have understood it, has always been that the rule book has to comply with English law and so limitation would apply to section W disciplinary cases as a matter of principle. Is there a possibility that that is not now the case?
 
Fair points.

I just find it hard to believe the PL would have allowed all the discussion and conclusion around fraudulent behaviour with sponsorships without correction.

If the reasoning for the award is finally released and it turns out the only problems around sponsorship were some esoteric discussions around ownership, related parties and fair value, it will be absolutely shocking to almost everyone, imho, and damning on the PL. I can't imagine anyone is getting relegated for accounting interpretations and that potential penalty has been left hanging over the club, without any correction, for nearly three years now.

Of course, we are talking about the PL, so maybe I am giving them too much credit :)

I wouldn't have any problem at all if you turn out to be right.

I’m shocked you’d be shocked ;)
 
Even though I don’t think the release is in any way going to be connected to an international break, and neither do I think it will be this year, I still come into this thread every day expecting an update.
