This is based on a strange article in the Echo which gives far too much oxygen to the ramblings of that Borson bloke.

Maybe it suggests a verdict by the tribunal is soon to be forthcoming… after god knows how many years of obfuscation and denial.

Not holding my breath…

The verdict is due in March as I understand it.

The verdict is imminent, expected any time.
Either party can then Appeal the decision, could drag on forever, but you would assume they are aiming for conclusion by seasons end.
For what it’s worth Borson/ Kevin Maguire predict City to be fined, with the major ( fraud) points not proven but fined for non assistance etc.
Separate point, Echo saying the Burnley compensation case will be heard in the Summer. The frustrating thing here is that they are saying the case will be heard by same panel that ruled the original 10 point deduction with KC Phillips stating that there were grounds for compensation claims.
Surely Everton will argue against the same panel whose ruling was reduced from 10 to 6 points on Appeal.

If Burnley win their compensation claim, does whatever fine we have to pay go against our PSR accounting? Not that I am expecting Burnley to win their case, it was simply an observation./question.

Won’t we be eligible for the parachute payment that Burnley were given ?
