Financial Fair Play investigation

[Llyrap]

These are legal proceedings or quasi-legal proceedings. It does not need to be a court. Once it is a proceeding that has powers to impose punishment on a defendant or respondent, the rules of Natural Justice apply, including the absolute prohibition against publishing anything that could impede or prejudice proceedings BEFORE a final verdict has been reached.

As I already posted:


Contempt of Court Act 1981

Strict liability​

1The strict liability rule.​

In this Act “the strict liability rule” means the rule of law whereby conduct may be treated as a contempt of court as tending to interfere with the course of justice in particular legal proceedings regardless of intent to do so.

2Limitation of scope of strict liability.​

(1)The strict liability rule applies only in relation to publications, and for this purpose “publication” includes any speech, writing, [F1programme included in a cable programme service] or other communication in whatever form, which is addressed to the public at large or any section of the public.

(2)The strict liability rule applies only to a publication which creates a substantial risk that the course of justice in the proceedings in question will be seriously impeded or prejudiced.

(3)The strict liability rule applies to a publication only if the proceedings in question are active within the meaning of this section at the time of the publication.

It is not a Court. The vast majority of the act relates to Criminal proceedings - have a look at schedule 1.

Everton are subject to an independent commission created by contractual agreement between football teams. Nothing to do with this act.

Any leaks does not mean that Natural Justice has been breached. If the breach comes directly from the commission and they have made a decision before hearing from both parties, that may make the process unfair. No evidence of this.

As much as he annoys me at times we could do with an Andy Burnham type around the club as he certainly would not sit here quietly whilst various journo's sit and take cheap pot shots at us.

The media would finish his career if he dared stand up for us and he knows it. You can’t fight the media machine and win.

EVERY single story about Everton under Moshiri is "leaked"

We are trying to change the narrative to get in front of a bad news situation.

If there is a HUGE outcry to our issue which seems to be in public/social media, we use it to our advantage.

I have no idea why a 12 point deduction story helps us.

To be honest though, I'm not sure I could ever give it up in anyway, its in our blood as with most football fans. I did pledge not to spend much more wedge on them after the Newcastle gams last season and so far stuck to it(if you dont count the new top, Villa game! lol)

Im not prepared to do a 7 hour round trip any more tho! Other priorities

They just make it so hard at the moment.

Think it’s more of a filthy habit at this point.

Fans of other clubs all over social media basically believe this 12 point deduction has already been handed out, so when it doesn’t happen it’ll look like it’s been overturned and it’ll cause a lot more angst towards us. I feel like this was the aim of the media all along.

Nearly got into a stand p row over it last night, the "it musty be true its all over the news" brigade out in full forvce in our local snooker hall looking to stick the knife in.

One sentence from me, gave them a perspective and all I said was

"a Potential 12 point penalty is one of the options, however if they do that to us for a one time offence, they wont, but what will they do to City for over 100, as they will have set a precedent?"

Silence

Then 2 hours later after few frames of snooker, they were stil discussing but focus had turned to City!

most layman footie fans have no clue, in all honesty, especially on other clubs situations and will believe what they are spoon fed by media.

I wouldn't blame anyone if they just can't be bothered much longer tbh

I even forgot to mention the colossal debt worries the (nevertheless awesome) stadium has loaded us with, too.

About time someone spoke up about the tsunami of allegations against Man City that appear to be going nowhere. It's over 100, isn't it?

 

[Swartzy]

I thought the PL cleared that 3 years?

What actually is the point, sport is supposed to be a release

Can we really class it as a sport anymore, it's just a business played out on a field for commercial gains.

See my post above!

Certainly lit a bonfire for a few when i mentioned it!

It is turning even more into a media driven witch hunt now as Kompany has just been asked about it in his pre match conference.

I guess they smell blood

Cant wait for all it be a puff of smoke and they lose their "Big Exclusive" "the Demise of Everton"

The rats are desperate for it!

Think the reason to put a 12 point penalty in the press for all to see is to plant the seed in everyones heads. If we get less than that then all will be crying over a so called misjustice. It is propaganda personified.

I had only spotted the post about Carragher questioning things re Man City. Apologies...
