http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11095_6909745,00.html This is the first we have heard from Paladini, he sounds as angry and frustrated as I've heard him. Would he be talking to the press like this if he knew we had cocked up in some way?
I keep oscillating from thinking we'll be fine to near panic! You could look negatively and argue that he would only need to fight it it's likely the other side will put up a fight as well! Ergo, he thinks we're going to need to fight once they've found us guilty
Personally, I would rather Paladini winds his neck in and says nothing until after the event. We've just been given a sub judicy advantage by the Sun and it's just not wise to complicate matters by him speaking before the Hearing. Bit worrying that he feels the need to comment at this stage on his ambitions for the prem and record of getting decent investors in for the fans... Suggests to me he's not confident that he's coming out of this in one piece. Hmmm.
If the F.A rule against us then having him here would make the punishment worse in my opinion But maybe i'm wrong
He clearly expects to have to fight the ruling. This is bad news. I read somewhere that clubs agree to abide by FA rulings while part of a league and would need to resign before being able to mount a true legal action. That being said I can see this going all the way in the courts.
