PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

Ajay said:
never underestimate the love HH Sheikh Mansour has for the club and Manchester as a city. He and his investment groups have ploughed Billions into the City, redeveloped previously near no go zones,created jobs, academy's and more. He and Khaldoon has made it clear they will not give up and will do whatever it takes to maintain "not prove" their innocence, we have nothing to prove, we just have to put the PL and other clubs in their place.

This legal action opens a pandora's box of shit none of the PL Clubs want to see, they may think they are protected but do you really think we spent the last 4 years smoking shisha having a giggle, or was that time spent preparing for the inevitable bullshit cluster we knew the PL was about to offload.

Everything will now come out "all be in the commission has said the case will be heard in private", but that does not stop 'leaks' in the same way leaks conveniently came out against us. The appointment of every member of that independent commission will be questioned, every word of the charges will be analysed and studied, every document sent, received, missed, or hidden will be requested. The PL Committee who put this together will be investigated, the forensic specialists will be drilled microscopic level.

And all this when we now hear that LFC have not received a single official bid in 3 months, MUFC will get bids but nothing close to their target price. Consortiums, Individuals, etc will all look at what the PL have done today and think again about investing in any PL club or associating themselves to this level of blatant targeted attack.

This will take years!

All we have to brace ourselves for is the media circus bullshit, the hypocrisy and the double standards that will hound us for the rest of this season and seasons to come, I just hope the manager, players, supporting team and senior executives have the balls and energy to see this through.

Now we need to fight back and win the PL, win the Champs League and say - f3ck you all!

Club statement

Manchester City FC is surprised by the issuing of these alleged breaches of the Premier League Rules, particularly given the extensive engagement and vast amount of detailed materials that the EPL has been provided with.

Jordans nothing more than a mouthy gobshite.
The premier league "investigation" has been bubbling under for ages.
They had to come up with something,eventually.

I'm pretty bored with the whole saga tbh.
My guess would be most of the charges will be fucked off and we bend over and take a dicking for some of the more minor stuff.
And the club will be tainted with it all for the foreseeable.
Not much change really.

Does all of this apply only to our men’s team? I imagine that all facets of the club are run by the same people. Why aren’t the women’s team being dragged like the rest?

to be fair it’s a tiny part of the revenue. But I suspect the WSL might investigate but I doubt they have as much money to dig deep anyway.

Hahaha, no we missed that statement. Thanks for posting.
 
Well the fucking toothless, barefoot, knuckle-dragging gutter rats from Old Toilet are out in force! :-/

Just had my resident Rag message me, crowing about us FINALLY being outed as crooks, but I soon popped his balloon by asking him "Do you know what the accusations are in relation to?"

He replies: You got caught cheating.

Me: At what?

Him: FFP

Me: What specifically?

Him: Stop fuckin answering a question with a fuckin question & finally admit you're a bunch of crooks!

Me: So you don't actually know what the accusations are then?

Him: You cheated at FFP!

Me: You really don't know do you?

Me: You seriously messaged me about something you know fuck all about?

Me: HELLOOOOOOOOOOOOOO... Have you disconnected your mobile?

Radio silence since... This is what I fear more than than the PL! :-/

Why does being innocent make any difference? We were innocent of our charges from UEFA in legal terms, but had a fine for non-compliance, which we're open to here as well and therefore were guilty in the eyes of all of the media and footballing world. They don't care about innocent or guilty, they care about damaging our reputation and dragging us through the dirt. Whether we do things properly or not they'll keep going for us. The only solution is for us to destroy them instead, which I'm sure the club will aim to do now. The club tried to play ball and that failed so they've kept quiet and built their own defence. That's the best way to handle it. We don't have enough support in the media to come out swinging, it wouldn't benefit us.

As long as revenue grows then why would anyone care too much? Abu Dhabi is still getting plenty of tourists (although it isn't a nation!).

Exactly.
4 weeks of dragging someone’s reputation through the dirt is nowhere near as effective as 4 years of dragging someone’s reputation through the dirt.

I am a Derby County fan and we have been absolutely shafted by the EFL for far less than what you guys have been charged with.

I think you are almost certain to see a huge points deduction and a two to three year transfer embargo.

We have our own self imposed left back embargo

Honestly its corrupt, Chelsea just spent £600m in less than a year staggering players contracts over 7/8 years manipulating the system. In principle its a business why should you not be allowed to invest in it? Man Utd for sale, sitting in harmonious debt. Liverpool owners realize they can't make money up for sale. Man City owner invested money no debt and making profit. Well run business and everyone else throws toys out the pram at being poor in their own mismanagement from player selection/transfers, management, academy structure and board. These 8-9 clubs explicitly mentioned 1/2 should be careful where they point the gun as it may turn backwards. As part of any response from City I'd expect a full disclosure of every club in the PL since 2009 or 1992 since there is no time barred limit.
