these 115 charges

[gavin]

It is too late to count but its quite a few and some in the same year are dependent on others. That is that if you're found guilty of misstatement of true value of a sponsorship then you're going to be found guilty of not acting in good faith as well.  But if you're not then you're not. 115 as a number isn't really relevant to anything. Everton had allegedly 1 charge but the judgement talks about the good faith thing too so was it really just 1 charge?

What is clear is that Everton was a much more straightforward case than City and still took ages so its likely to be a good while before we hear anything concrete and then there's appeal.

So you don't know either, no wonder I'm confused.

This has nothing to do with it but interesting nonetheless.

"Rishi Sunak hosted Mubadala's Khaldoon Al Mubarak at a meeting of global business leaders at Hampton Court, south-west London, on Monday as he attempts to attract foreign investment to the UK."

We're going well, well off topic here but if the UK needs a Nuclear power station then it should build one itself. I despair that the Tories even tried to get China to build one in the UK. Having said that we could be back onto topic if Khaldoon's plan is to threaten a nuclear accident in Suffolk if the Premier League don't drop the charges. Even more drastic than buying the Torygraph but could well work. Good thinking lads.
