PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[decmancity]

Erm... the time to do that would be before we were charged.

Why?

Wait to see what they have on you, then you get in a big room and deliver what we have back. This case then gets "settled" and is all under lock and key for the rest of time.

 

[domalino]

So basically, it's all that **** Rui Pinto's fault.

Or City's fault for not having good enough cybersecurity.

Or City's fault for doing the things Rui Pinto uncovered!

 

[Manchester_City_Blue]

Frustratingly this is gonna be something that drags on years and years I suspect. First PL settling on a charge, us appealing. And then going to one court, then another court. We could be looking at 3+ years of this hanging over us before even knowing what's going to happen.

 

[Sky Blue]

I’m backing City to smash this out of the park. It’s been corrupt for years so why wouldn’t this be.

We are being treated like we have weapons of mass destruction, if enough gang up on us the truth will be lost.

I believe our people over the others until proven.

Yep, gloves are off.

 

[kupest]

Why would you demand that he lists the charges when the PL have released a statement listing the charges? Why can't people just read that?

Uhmm I said he could explain what they meant? Any Tom, dick and harry can read the nubmers. Do you know what they specifically mean? No. Surely he knows what they mean when he is saying we could get relegated? Calling me and idiot is either ways a shit way to respond and pathetic to say the least.

Instead of having a go at me, try and understand what we have been charged with first.

 

[LongsightM13]

We didn't win at CAS, 2-1 the ruling in our favour basically said that the murder we committed happened a long time ago and therefore not merited considering (in legal terms). The PL had to act after this government regulator bullshit and we were the obvious target. Was Sheffield United the only team who didn't want to gang up against us a few seasons ago and it might rain shit on them now in the midst of their proposed takeover.

Again, wrong

 

[waspish]

If these stick they been waiting that long to punish us they’ll throw the book at us!

 

[Taylor]

we’ve done nowt wrong it’s witchhunt same as the rest, stop panicking, ridiculous

Yeah it's a witch hunt. Agenda pushed by the media/other clubs.

Chelsea the prime example. Wipe off over a £1bn and spend a further £500m and no one bat's an eyelid.

Bring it on I say, we defeated Uefa now let's wipe the floor with the Premier league

 

[HKB]

I think football's governing bodies won't be happy until we are gone and done, there is corruption and I'm not saying we are totally innocent, however the premier league/FA/Uefa/Fifa, no corruption there boys and girls eh!!!!!!

 

[argyle]

It does seem to have taken the club by surprise. However before declaring the club is finished and waving the white flag lets see what City say and also what any lawyer who reads the alleged charges has to say.

 

[1.618034]

Eez feeneesh!

 

[lonestay]

Erm... the time to do that would be before we were charged.

It would have, but we always try and play the appeasement game hoping that eventually the league will love us. They don't and never will so let's take the rotten corrupt house of cards and all its hangers on down .

 

[NeilMcnabTwoFooted]

Great day to be the only City fan in an office in Liverpool

w

Says the fact that they've charged us?

oh, so that’s proven now isn’t it because they’ve charged us, no due process, no 8 clubs behind the scenes 3 of which have a direct impact positively if we get railroaded, chill out we’ve done nowt wrong embarrassing the enemy smells fear, stop the panic stations

 

[SWPISHOME]

The Championship, League One and League Two is very appealing to me right now.

Getting pissed off with this shit every single season whether its the FA, PREMIER LEAGUE, UEFA ect trying to fuck us over. It's all corrupt as fuck! They all want the so called "Elite" clubs to remain at the top and nobody breaking into it.

Newcastle should take note of all this because they don't stand a chance.

There's a link to this year's rule book here.

Worth noting that unless there's been a drastic change in how these are written and ordered, the rule breaches are for multiple areas that aren't necessarily tied to finances.


Some of the alleged rule breaks include not providing a suitable room for drug testing and the pitch grass being too long.

Until we know EXACTLY what we're accused of breaking, deep breath, relax.

Yeah, after calming down a bit I agree with this.

 

[aka blue jambo]

Welcome to the SPL

 

[bluemoon32]

we’ve done nowt wrong it’s witchhunt same as the rest, stop panicking, ridiculous

Do you honestly believe we've done NOTHING wrong, nothing at all ?
I'd be astonished if that is the case

 

[Trevor Morley's Tache]

Maybe this is why Pep has been out of sorts recently?

 

[Ajm1985]

Can't lose away to Spurs in the league when you aren't in the same league. Smart
