PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

What year did them Geordie cunts eat all the chips? We must have at least made a good profit that year
 
Like most cases I would anticipate that there are a few high level accusations, supported by a substantial number of low level ones in order to help frame the idea that if we're making minor breaches we must be making more substantial ones. City seemed to take FFP very seriously, we tried to comply, they changed the rules and we ultimately couldn't meet the requirements. So we took our punishment without challenge and only started fighting and ignoring UEFA when they went off media allegations and we knew there was an agenda.

I'm sure most clubs have made some minor breaches over time. It's the major ones we just have to hope we're innocent of and there's been a misunderstanding. Either way, we're guilty. Just like with UEFA, if we win it's because our lawyers were better and not because of our innocence. The difficulty here is that 99% of fans loved the Aguero moment, and how many of them will be happy to see that wiped from the records? I hope beyond hope it doesn't come to that. A points deduction and a transfer ban, fine. I'd be angry at the club but I'd take it. Anything more and, well, that would be very hard to take. 35 years without a major trophy, we finally have our dreams come true...if that's wiped from the records it would be beyond horrific.

You don’t have the faintest fucking clue what money laundering is.

I do wish people would stop posting shite about things they don’t understand.

Look up money laundering.

What in these charges relates to the “process of illegally concealing the origin of money, obtained from illicit activities such as drug trafficking, corruption, embezzlement or gambling, by converting it into a legitimate source.”

Haven’t the Rags been money laundering in Delaware and the Cayman Islands?
 
I hope we've not fucked it here, questions need to be asked of the board if so.

Its an absolute disgrace how were mr. nice to the scousers as well.

We won't go down easy. Even if they relegate us they'll have endless lawsuits from us I suspect

Not sure I want that.

Will get pelters for this but I want the club to accept wrongdoing, make some changes to the hierarchy and commit to running the club honestly from here on out. Take the punishment on the chin so long as it's not stripping us of past titles. We can't keep doing this every few years.

End of the day, I'd rather a club I can feel proud to support.
 
If we get demoted/relegated. Would we get more than 60% tickets going to points?

Can’t see mr hospitality wanting to go to Harrogate & Hartlepool :-)

This is the point that gets consistently lost. I would assume that City will now chalkenge the whole FFP charade as being an anti-competitive illegal construct introduced in bad-faith by a cartel.

We absolutely should.

There's evidence a plenty - even Platini direct quotes - as to why FFP was really brought it in, and as we all know it had nothing to do with financial fair play.

Rather than picking apart each and every allegation, I think we should just seek to get the entire framework ruled illegal, and all potential sanctions, null and void.
