PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[BufordUSABlue]

Oh well, we're fucked, at least one of the charges will probably stick.
Looking forward to finally visiting York for an away game ha

You’re crazy mate, you’ll never get a ticket! 87,000+ went last time don’t forget ….

 

[Tricky_Trev]

Are you forgetting the hacked documents submitted were emails spliced together.

That’s a bit of a stretch.

 

[domalino]

Pretty sure that's not true, as I recall there was no indication the time-barred stuff wouldn't have been dismissed as well as the rest.

You're right, it was never looked at, so we don't know. I'll rephrase that.

But we do know that UEFA based their charges, initial ruling and most of their case on being able to use the time barred stuff and lost when they couldn't see it.

Guys is it as simple to try and match these rules breaks up to this document?

https://resources.premierleague.com/premierleague/document/2022/07/19/40085fed-1e9e-4c33-9f14-0bcf57857da2/PL_Handbook_2022-23_DIGITAL_18.07.pdf

So b13 is something to do with the reporting of meetings

E3 - delivering accounts on time?

E11 - providing P&L accounts by March for the next season

This is very high level but we could maybe break down if some of these are simple admin errors?

Sounds like some rather petty, low-level charges in amongst them?

Can this go too CAS again if the independent enquiry does find us guilty?

Man City charged with breaking financial rules

The Premier League charges Manchester City with more than 100 breaches of its financial rules following a four-year investigation.

www.bbc.co.uk

 

[SamBlue]

Again, wrong

For example this

The Cas panel of three European lawyers decided by a majority 2-1, however, that it would not consider the legitimacy of those Etisalat payments, because they were made more than five years before the CFCB charges were brought in May 2019, so were “time-barred”.

I am not enjoying any of this and I am properly pissed off. I am actually shocked that these fuckers did it after 4 years of being investigated and we are literally on our own. The very fact they've done in a month when Chelsea new owners are spending like £600mil on transfer and the PL teams spent more on transfer in this winter window than other four European league put together is telling me we are fighting for our lives here.

Lol that Zeeshan guy is not a source. He’s a random Utd fan student that has been trying to con people into thinking he’s ITK. And people fall for it.

99% of Twatter is like him. They are on social media for a reason because they all have the same things in common.

Being bellends.

 

[ayrshire_blue]

Juve were stripped of the titles after the match fixing scandal. For the financial breaches they got a points deduction

Sorry - you're right of course. Should have got my facts straight before I replied.

 

[oakiecokie]

How has Soriano let this witch hunt go om for 4 years? He’s got to take some responsbilities and fucking RESIGN

What a bag of shite you red fucker.

 

[Brad mcfc]

Today is my 40th what a lovely present!

Happy birthday mate

 

[mickster2]

We are really in the shit this time , I will be happy if they don’t strip are titles anything else would be a bonus

Ok , we have over 100 charges against us and they have been looking at it for 4 years we have not complied since 2018 , enjoy you’re Monday

It's the speed with which you digested the charges, looked at the evidence (which hasnt even ben made public yet) and jumped to bargaining and pleading for our very existence as a club that was the most pathetic part.

Show some cojones, maybe have some faith in your club when it is under attack. Pathetic is never a good look for a grown man, especially in public.

 

[The perfect fumble]

"Will come as no surprise"

Well, it surprises me, a bit.

If the PL has us bang to rights, pics of our hand in the till and so on, then it's mea culpa time and we should throw ourselves on the mercy of the court.

However if...

"Robustly defend" is our position, it means they've not got the smoking gun and we know it.

 

[PPT]

That's pep gone then if we are found guilty

All of the management will be gone if found guilty.

 

[Lowtower]

Anyone got any idea what will actually happen?

 

[Dogtanian]

Today is my 40th what a lovely present!

Today is my 50th, it's fucking shite

 

[Fordyboy46]

So what's the worse that can happen, relegation?

 

[cheekybids]

That’s a bit of a stretch.

Were the documents submitted 2 emails spliced together.

 

[give it to gordon]

Do the premier league go back this far on every club in the league ?
The premier league must employ 100's of thousands of people to keep a check on all 20 clubs
