[KS55]

We were never anywhere near breaching the short term controls based on wage increases.

What is this all really about. We took the pinch agreed it was all done and dusted and they have come for us again. Now the ****s at the Pl are searching for things to do us for under rules that no longer exist. Wtf ? It baffles me. I know we have turned up like an ill - bred lottery winner at the bullingdon club , but seriously who have we fucked off for things to get this pathetic? Is it really just we’ve crashed the party? Or is there more to it ... some sort of proxy war for the future of football?

It has taken them years of plotting this to attack us from all angles hoping something sticks.

Anybody else think City should just win the CL then melt down the trophy and make rings for everybody and tell UEFA to fuck off and that they'll never play in their competitions again?

Fuckin’lol “Kiss our rings UEFA!”

Simply ban the lowlifes from any talk of investigations and keep it just about the game itself. It really isn't that hard a concept for our media department to follow.

 

[Proy]

More negative media bluster. Straight after a win in Madrid.

Trial by media.

The cuñts will stop at nothing for clicks.

What a cowardly industry it is.

.....or maybe silver bullets to shove right up their arse !!!

Did it not occur to the FA to actually ask us? Speak to City, ask them for this irrefutable evidence? Or in their giddiness to try and act against us, have they just splashed the cash on a legal team before even formally opening an investigation?

Sure, the FA have absolutely no conflicts of interest there.

Greg Clarke - former chairman of Leicester City

Rick Parry - Former chief executive of Liverpool FC.

Stacey Cartwright - Former board member of Liverpool FC

David Gill - Former chief executive of Manchester United and currently vice president of UEFA executive committee

Yep, no conflict of interests there at all.

These scumbags won’t leave no stone unturned until they can find something they can pin on us it’s just getting beyond a joke now!

said this before should ban the lot of them.

But no, we will let them come into the games still

 

[svennis pennis]

Love how all these cases against us involve a very substantial fine. ‘We hate that you’ve spent your own money, we won’t allow that, but we will demand a huge amount of it for ourselves’.

[tommybooth]

Its all a load of bollocks and bollocks to it all.

Why are people wetting their knickers over some spurious and speculative articles in the gutter press?


Or am I missing something?

Parry is not FA, he's Football League, and I doubt was there at the time.
Cartwright was non-exec at Liverpool, but has been at a whole range of big jobs outside.
Clarke? Blimey, Leicester are against us now?

Picking out conflicts of interest has some value, but creating ones which aren't there is counter-productive.

The truth is, none of us have a fucking clue, including those within the media who claim to, many of whom simply make stuff up. Fucking losers. There is next to nothing of substance in the public domain, which creates a breeding ground for rumour and speculation, which the cockroaches exploit.

I’ve got an idea about what I think has happened, but I couldn’t say with any conviction if it’s correct or even approaching being correct.

I guess we’ll all find out in due course.

The first element of the investigation focuses on whether City breached the Premier League's Short Term Cost Control measures between 2013 and 2016, a regulation that has since been abolished.

The Premier League are also responsible for operating UEFA's licencing process, and if City are found to have submitted false information in their accounts that could constitute a breach of their licence.

The final element concerns City's agreement with FC Nordsjaelland between 2016 and 2020 - enabling them to sign players from the Right to Dream Academy in Ghana for free, which could constitute a breach of third-party ownership rules. [@MailSport]

If the Premier League's investigators conclude that Manchester City have a case to answer they will either seek to come to a financial settlement with the club or set up an independent disciplinary commission.

Determined to nail us on something

Was gonna say - like closing your eyes and throwing darts at a f#cking dart board..........
