They are still in the middle of a hearing for the 130 other offences.

Doesn't sound like a win neither, just that the PL needs to update its rules to take out some technical contradictions and inconsistencies, so lets home the state sponsored cheats are voted back into their box. At least that's what I'm hoping after a superficial skim of that article.

Money talks, and the cheating cvnts have more than enough to prolong this for years.

It is going to be a minefield. They (MCFC) seem to have pulled the tactically brilliant stunt of pulling all shareholder related business into the same ‘what if it was arms length/ truly independent’ bucket. So all shareholder loans can be challenged - if not at a ‘market’ rate. Whatever that is.

I retired two years ago but, I tell you what, I fancy going back into business on this.

I don’t think SCFC have too many of these ‘cheap’ loans (I may be wrong;only a cursory look at the accounts) but some teams are fingered in, eg, The Times. There will be a lot of shareholder meetings in football clubs over the next few weeks.

Different point: the PL showed themselves to be not good enough to set the rules on this.
