As opposed to world renowned lawyer the " magic hat" on twitter who also happens to be an emotionally invested arsenal fan? Nobody knows what is really going on behind closed doors and his opinion just seems as much wishful thinking as the rest of ours.
Hopefully they get relegated. But **** knows if and when that will actually happen.

When is the trial going to start on their 115 charges?

I hope for the worst for City but what happened to the fit and proper test that delayed Cellino buying Leeds? City, Newcastle and Chelsea owners say hi. None of them are exactly "comforting".

You could get them to sign contracts that prohibits them refeering in other leagues i.e. my work contract prohibits me from working for others in the field i am employed. They probably dont because they dont pay large sums of money to referees relative to the finances/impact of the league
We should raid them like Inter raided Juve in 06 and win the next 5 titles. I would take Haaland, Lewis, Savinho and maybe Grealish.Can’t wait for Foden to join us and @Trilly be confronted with having to turn against him

No **** Haaland. Don't want him anywhere near our team, despite his goal record.

Ultimately what happens with City will be all down to what the EPL can prove - crucial will be whether the measuring stick is 'beyond reasonable doubt' or 'on the balance of probabilities' - I'm not sure which it is in this case. If its the former, it'll be a fudge and minor charges proved with a few points deducted and fines. If the latter, City are screwed unless they can somehow get all the hacked and leaked evidence struck out.
if the evidence stands and its 'balance of probabilities', they can't stay in the EPL without a point deduction that guarantees relegation, because the evidence is hugely damaging but not totally conclusive by itself.

I've read that the measuring stick will be on the balance of probabilities, so much lower than at the CAS case.

That's a standard clause in most employer contracts, let alone for public figures like PL refs they absolutely could forbid them from doing it. Why would they though when the whole point of becoming a member of the PGMOB is to end up in someone's pocket.

Apparently City have come out on top in the associated transactions arbitration….the precursor to the 115 arbitration….fecks sake….

Man City FFP: Citizens appear to 'score victory' in historic legal case as journalists reveal 'huge development'
Daily Mail journalist Mike Keegan claims Man City 'appear to have scored a victory over the Premier League on associated party transactions (APT)'.

Doesn’t mean a complete victory - they seem to be reading heavily between lines here but we’ll see…
Edit - the delay in approving the revised rules is clearly due to the parties having seen the embargoed draft judgment which clearly means the PL don’t have it all their own way “on the nod” - and figuring out what it means - but it doesn’t mean 115 have “won” and perhaps both sides will claim this…

Legal things are so funny.
Break approved rules which most follow.
Claim rules are unfair so you had to break them.
Get away with it.

A mate played golf with a guy who knows Richard Scudamore a couple of weeks ago. He said Scudamore has a letter in which City admit guilt to at least one of the charges against them. Tenuous, I know, but some of these charges will stick. What that means for punishment? F**k knows.

If City get away with this I am officially done with Premier League football, could well be my last season of being an Arsenal fan.

I was at talking to a guy this week who was on the PL’s legal team till he moved firms recently - obviously tight lipped but was clear he had seen some unbelievable contemporaneous e mails from 115. I’ve yet to meet anyone who genuinely knows anything about this who thinks they’ll walk away from this. Where it ultimately leads, there’s no way of knowing so we have to wait like everyone else…
