Really good thread this.

This is based on nothing but my own reading of it, but the second paragraph of City's statement yesterday suggested to me that's something they'll explore.

Haha, but imagine 😂

I'm a journalist who writes about teams I might not have liked too much at various points. You do the job you're paid to do. Especially if you're someone as successful and eminent at Pannick. It's a nothing burger.

The Premier League would convene a new three-person panel, different judges to last time. No recourse to CAS under PL rules.

Yeah. He obviously has a deserved reputation for being right and it would be crazy to go on something this big without being absolutely sure. His employers wouldn't allow that either.

My understanding is it would be the latter, on facts of law/procedure etc.

The verdict isn't official yet. But it's probably best to operate under that assumption at this point. City will appeal if guilty.

Normal day

Obviously a lot to pick out of a fairly remarkable day. Anfield's going to be a lark, isn't it?
