PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[mcfcphil]

That Tariq Panja guy will literally have shot his load about 20 times upon seeing this

I would suspect Tariq Panja knew about the announcement by the PL this morning before City did.

 

[Gorton_Tubster]

cant be arsed really. If they think Im going to stop supporting my club because they say accuse cheating all the time they can fuck off.

I hope we take them to court for defamation once this shit is out of the way.

 

[ysmsa]

it was at home.

It was at fucking home ;-)

I hope he has drawn up these trumped up fucking charges too!

 

[argyle]

I wish I had your confidence. But the amount of charges over 9 seasons is what worries me

Amount of charges means nothing.

'Independent'

He's picking the judges too

From BBC

'City were not given advance warning of the Premier League statement. They were called at the same time the statement was published.'

So why do other reports state our legal & audit team were at the Etihad, 6am this morning if we hadn't had advanced warning?

Also, I'm of the mind that Guardiola mentioning the Hateful Eight on Friday was of more significance than we first thought...

 

[Tricky_Trev]

To prove that the PL would have to have evidence that we consealed payments to managers and players.

What is the likelihood of that?

The charge relates to a time when James Milner was in our squad, so he’s probably volunteered access to his bank account to show payments.

Yes, I’m joking before anyone kicks off.

The best ran club, with the best resources and facilities in world football, with access to the best legal team and advisors will have been long prepared for this and will have already made preparations to deal with it. The premier league may well punish us but it’s plain to see that City will fight this in every court they can. All it provides to us is a confirmation that the league is against us and wants us out.

Bet Mcd's near Asda was full of fuckin journo types getting an expenses paid breakfast this morning at 06:00.

The other reports were started by a spotty teenager on twitter.

 

[Chi-town blues]

It isn’t. They’re the main protagonists in the Hateful 9 episode.

This is getting tiring . City must stop being a fucking cash cow to these cunts and take each one of these allegations to bed once and for all. Sue the fuck of all those behind this .

 

[JOGAMIGMOG]

If they relegate us let’s build that stand twice the size. Let’s pack it to 70,000 every week and show the club how much we love it. Up the Blues!

 

[halfcenturyup]

Final point feels quite important I think. I don't think we've complied and we will do with the commission, as we did with UEFA/CAS.

As long as it's impartial and follows UK law. UK law is pretty strict on conflicts of interest.

 

[Gumzy97]

Had a Liverpool fan in work say am I ashamed of what the club did cheating etc

I went why should I be ashamed I'm a football /City fan I don't care about this I just want to watch my club play football , you should be more ashamed of your club due to its history.

Fucking hell it's like they've all come out from hiding now to jump on this

 

[Axel Freed]

Great no nonsense statement put out by City.

We’ll see you in court you jealous cunts.

Fuck em all

He’s cunty enough to

 

[paulchapo]

It isn't that which worries me it's who and what we're up against and our chance of getting a fair hearing that does. This constant investigative and microscopic scrutiny of our club has to be unprecedented in the history of football. Has any other club gone through this before?

 

[fuskarn]

 

[creditunionhero]

Where have they got this information about City from, and surely all clubs should be investigated otherwise it’s obvious this is a kangaroo court and that in itself should be investigated.

It's all allegations, they expect us to prove we did not break regulations, rather than them prove we did.

James Milner, the only PL player to get a players wage and winter fuel payment at the same time!
