Financial Fair Play investigation

[blulouie]

For them, who clearly don't wish to abide by the rules, which includes the independent commission - yes

Clearly.

I think you need to drop this mate.

I may not be legally savvy as to what City are doing but I do follow it.
The Prem are petrified to meter out any punishment as they know they will be dragged through every court in the land if they do.

They are as guilty as sin imo , but the weight of the judicial system is the reason the Prem won't or can't administer any punishment.

This is not a punishment. Utterly bonkers.

It was an appeals court.

I think you're a decent guy, so I'm not going to fall down to name calling.

I'm giving an example.

However, could a case be made that the Premier League commission is not independent from the Premier League? I would suggest so.

Likewise, could you state to me another legal system, in a free society, that would have the prosecution effectively selecting the judge and jury of a case? I dont know of many legal systems where that happens. I'm happy to hear examples of countries with reasonable freedoms where that is the process.

If I'm pointing these things out, on a Friday evening, you can be quite sure that highly laid lawyers may have noticed these inconsistencies. It also probably explains why the PL does not want independent regulation, and does its upmost to stop any of its processes being heard in an impartial court. That alone is hardly a ringing endorsement of confidence in its processes is it?

You cannot get more independent than appointing a pool of independent professionals that everyone trusts and then allowing them to follow rules that you have already established.

Why are you comparing criminal law and murder to commerical law and this?

Also appeal courts don't hand put penalties.

Just judgements.

Well your answer should have been "that court wouldnt hand out a punishment" shouldnt it?

Follow the rules isnt a punishment.

 

[blulouie]

That is the whole point. They know they have broken the rules and were trying to wriggle out of it.

The courts have basically said you have to face what you signed up to.

And ?

If the Premier League were petrified why would they charge City with 101 offences.

I'm dropping nothing.

Man City can try and delay all they want

They signed a contract in joining the Premier League

No court is going to over rule a legally binding contract that's in accordance with the law

None.

Follow the rules isnt a punishment.

It is for guilty parties.

You people are loco, the footy is starting again tomorrow, stick a fork in this till the next International break.

"You cannot get more independent" than a group of people with a working relationship (and presumably a financial relationship) with the prosecutor?

Are you sure?

Do you want to have a go at answering my question again. What other legal system allows for the prosecution to select the judge and jury of a case?

 

[gwladysnight]

And ?

And City have been charged with 101 offences.

Can't take any more of this . Night!

Charging them & administering penalties are 2 far differing things.

You need to drop it mate, because you just look a bit silly.

Davek was right about you. Completely mental on this you've gone.

 

[blulouie]

And City have been charged with 101 offences.

And ...the result is ?
