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!

I don't think people realise how serious this is and you've highlighted just a few of the implications of us losing.

Clubs can sue US for a multitude of things. Even the fans could sue the club as we invested thousands of pounds and emotion supporting them, all for nothing because the club broke the rules meaning it was all worthless.

Make no mistake this is the biggest challenge the club has ever faced since it's formation.

If the club loses , we will be looking for new ownership

Serious question here then. How would you feel about the situation if City are indeed found guilty of the bulk of these charges (there 100 of them, so I'm going to assume some of these will stick) and City are handed an unprecedented punishment, say a massive points deduction? Will your anger and ire be directed at your owners, or at the PL?

IF it's proved that we lied and cheated then our owners are to blame imo

Like I said if we have been guilty of breaking the PL rules which require audited accounts to be submitted then, it infers that we have submitted falsified accounts and has such this is a criminal offence

Could someone at the club go to jail for that?

We'll take the punishment and support our club back to the top.

We're not going to bring the entire Premier League down, can people stop saying this.

We didn't bring UEFA down and we won't do with this.

All we will do is fight the charges the PL has levelled at us.

Much like at CAS it's likely the judgement will find no evidence of concealing payments or inflating profits but evidence of non-compliance with the investigation.

You may be right and it seems a logical conclusion. I must say if there is evidence that our audited financial statements have material misstatements I will be less worried about the future of the club than I will be angry at our and/or our auditors' willingness to break rules. That's where this makes so little sense based on what I am reading about these accusations -- the entirety of our financial statement reliability comes crumbling down if some of the charges are true and it just beggars belief that a firm with the reputation of BDO would conspire with/look away from such shenangians. This is what destroyed Arthur Andersen.

We complied it was the subject of a court case that City lost in the high court, the hearing that City and PL wanted to be kept secret but judge ruled otherwise He also made a comment aimed at the PL that City had won 4 titles since the original charge was made

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.

Nobody cares about what happened to your piss pot club when the charges against us are far from being proven.
