Does Jim White understand how tedious financial irregularity/fraud cases actually are?

[ConnieAbrahams]

So because it's Manchester City it should be televised??

[MCFCTheMadHatter]

What’s so tragically ironic about this idea of wanting to have it fully public is that the same people have been saying over and over it’s all about the rules. Well the PL rules state that these things are done behind closed doors so abide by your rules

[Creng]

Next time Simon in trouble make sure he get the local guy.

[SomeRandomBod]

City’s high priced army of lawyers will say “nothing to see here”, they’ll be told off in public, maybe fined £500, 000 & pay it out of the loose change jar. Modern football

[adisalemdesta]

What is Simon waffling!
For someone who studied and practiced law, the process is as important as the outcome.

[chrispsrk]

The clubs decided it's behind closed doors. It's a members league.

[stevehynes]

Was united done behind closed doors yes it was 😢

Let’s just say hypothetically that when Jim was an alcoholic, he had driven his car home one night after drinking and was stopped by the police for drink driving,
I wonder if Jim wouldn’t of minded anyone just turning up at court to oversee the outcome of his trial whilst the also demanding that the whole nation be notified of what both his legal defence team and the prosecutions have discussed on a day to day basis during the whole trial just so everyone can have idle gossip about him and just so everyone can have transparency..

And BTW Jim this is the premier leagues decision to keep the hearing discreet not Man City’s !!!

[lordboredgaming]

Everybody does what they can to get every advantage they can, it's the art of war.

No doubt in the coming years there will be many charges brought upon other clubs too.

[jimwilson-klxs]

Premier League to blame with all their silly inconsistent rules over last 10 years, don't even know what their own rules are

[David-cenh]

Football should never be taken into the UK judiciary system. There are rules set out by the Footballing authorities, If clubs are caught flouting them rules they should take the consequence's of breaking them rules. Employing highly paid KCs makes a mockery of the rules. A good KC could get you off with 2nd degree murder. Its total bull!

[michaelhalliday-qcfg]

What would you like them too do Jordan ? Just sit back and not defend themselves.

[christophernewman-rwvu]

Jim doesn't get it. He just reads his bullet points. I don't think he even understands half the things he says

[Fractalchemystical]

Simon lamenting lawyers in football while apparently forgetting that boring sod who's a regular guest on this show, Stefan Borson is one of them!

[DovaGeris]

There is great interest indeed, but not only in the outcome, as Jordan says. The process and the outcome are of great interest. Keeping the trial secret will, inevitably, lead to conspiracy theories.

[Scousestar]

Cant wait to see how badly Everton get punished for this

[neilzy]

Leicester are a different case, mainly due to them being relegated to a DIFFERENT league, city havent been relegated/promoted in the time that the charges relate to.

[eddiejohnson]

We dont need the verdict! Man City are guilty and always will be in the eyes of all football fans we will never let them forget.

[lewism]

Simon really gets to me - sometimes he can be bang on the money (admittedly not often) but almost always he comes across as smug and arguing for arguments sake. So often on the wrong side of the argument.
