Did Man City’s Witnesses LIE? Lawyer Reacts

#podcast #businesspodcast #sportspodcast #mancity Manchester City's legal battle could change English football forever. But what if the biggest revelations are still to come? This week, we're joined by Paul Gilroy KC, one of Britain's most formidable sports lawyers, who has represented footballing giants including Sir Alex Ferguson, Pep Guardiola & Harry Redknapp. Having been at the centre of some of football's biggest legal disputes, Paul knows exactly how these battles are fought - and what really happens when the doors close. And when it comes to Manchester City, he believes there's far more to this story than meets the eye. Could crucial decisions already have been made behind closed doors? Is there a way out that nobody's talking about? And could the consequences stretch far beyond Manchester City? Paul also draws our attention to one extraordinary paragraph buried deep within the commission's findings - a passage he believes could prove hugely significant. With City appealing the findings and maintaining their innocence, Paul explores the possible outcomes, the extraordinary stakes and why this saga might be far from over. If you think you know where the Manchester City case is heading, this conversation might make you think again. 00:00 The secrecy surrounding Manchester City's case 00:45 Has City's sanctions hearing already happened in secret? 02:13 The pressure to resolve the case behind closed doors 04:46 Could Manchester City negotiate a punishment? 06:50 Could the legal battle last another five years? 09:12 Why Manchester City refuses to back down 10:10 The evidence behind the commission's findings 12:03 Could rival clubs claim hundreds of millions? 13:33 Why is the case so confidential? 15:26 Could government relations influence the situation? 17:16 How Manchester City's appeal will work 21:45 Could the punishment be unprecedented? 22:52 Are football fans rushing to judge City? 24:52 Could this undermine another Premier League season? 27:10 Is delaying the case a legal strategy? 28:10 What would Paul Gilroy advise Manchester City? 30:51 How severe could the punishment be? 34:48 Could Manchester City face expulsion? 37:10 Paragraph 29: The explosive witness findings 38:25 What does this mean for football fans? 40:01 Could the case end up in the High Court? 41:27 Paul's prediction: How long will this take? ____ You know the score, but what happens on he pitch is only half the story .
