PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[Bell7575]

I do hope the bravado is not the club preparing for a post conviction future - I.e we were set up but we can’t do anything we will be strong Again in a few seasons.

 

[argyle]

This is the point I've been making - even if we're guilty, how can they prove it?

that's the point I was making. The only way to prove that information is to have obtained though a government agency and the foreign bank (if you can call it that) co-operated.

 

[I'm Blue]

Wow. I really do believe that this pack of hyenas phenomenon could sting us into performing together on the pitch the way we haven't all season and come back to bite the PL and the media on the arse, big time.

That's my hope, we'll worry about the rest later.
We've been needing a spark, hopefully the premier league have just put a rocket under our arses.

The big worry is Peps future at City now , he cited political reasons , and his constant expectation to fend off the press and fans at Barcelona, as a result , make no mistake about - city have just become political overnight , he hates the press as it is , and now the prodding and questioning will increase tenfold , I hate to say it , but I fear the end is coming for Peps time at City , guilty or innocent , this shit has just got serious.

Pep’s future is the least of our concerns.

Hope Martin Samuel in the Mail has a good look at this and writes a piece. He seems to get to the truth when he writes about City.

doubt he will he moved papersto the times weeks ago and went all anti-city in his first piece

 

[blue b4 the moon]

Sounds desperate.

 

[schfc6]

Has no bearing on the outcome but I think City want to point out that it's been orchestrated by/for the usual suspects. Given the initial PL statement had many mistakes in too they want to give the optics that it's a rushed though shit show.

What mistakes did they make? I’m sure there are plenty.

 

[Northblue]

That could be made into a song like the 10 green bottles sitting on a wall song.

I got 99 problems, but a left back aint one

 

[Gingers Dad]

Soriano particularly needs to speak up now!

Why?

 

[Ashleymcduff]

Must listen imo

These 2 doom mongers loving the clicks and attention today . Fuck listen to that . Rather listen to Gary glitters greatest hits

Well, we were always going to be the whipping club once the money came in and success stated.

For far too long we’ve kept our powder dry. It was obvious when this broke the club were not informed but the press was. The typos and errors in the alleged charges are testimony to the incompetence of the PL, and I should know!

On the same day the white paper into football is parked, it’s all very suspicious.

To think our owners are going to take this lightly at the tarnishing of not only our beloved club but their reputation and staining of their nation may well and truly become a death knoll for the PL and cartel clubs involved. Conspiracy theories will abound and mud will always stick.

Collectively as all fellow blues should do now at a time of battle, is stick together believe in our club and it’s owners and once and for all start throwing out the evidence we have on these other clubs as I certainly believe we will have it.

Brown paper bags and underhand deals look at the Sam Allardyce situation.

Remember every club has form, they’ve all got skeletons in the closet, I worked in professional football long enough to know underhanded dealings are the norm, and this will not be tomorrows chippie paper and will drag on and on.

I do believe this is now the beginning of the end of this saga and we will once and for all come out of it, yes with scars but they will always be a reminder to us who gave them to us and to them not to f@@@ with us evermore! Let’s just continue to support our club, our manager and the boys and girls in blue. CTWD.

 

[Northblue]

I just compared the original statement to the updated one and it's really not as big as the club are implying (though I can see why lawyers would find it amusing or annoying). They initially listed 1d - 1h as "premier league rules 16" when they meant "B16". See below. So possibly a sign of it being rushed, and certainly a typo, but not exactly a smoking gun.

beat me to it

 

[johnnytapia]

We’ll be still waiting for an outcome for your 60th.

He won’t.

 

[Brightwell Bros.]

beat me to it

Ha, we can be the absolute worst nerds together.

 

[WestGorton]

Why?

Agreed. Say nothing. No need.

 

[Kippax77]

So let me get this right that we are charged with not 5, not 50, not 99, but 100 indiscretions. That's a nice round figure for the media to get their teeth in.
Are any other PL clubs charged or to be charged? I am damned sure that most will be responsible for many, many indiscretions of their own over the same period and beyond.
I just hope the club come out with all guns firing.This may be the last chance saloon as THEY are determined to derail our wonderful club.

Said the same today, what a lovely round figure to squeeze out for the frenzied feral city hating fans

 

[LongsightM13]

I can’t remember all the circumstances but weren’t you deducted 12 points for going into administration ?

Yep not comparable in the slightest

Hope that explains it a bit more.

Thanks for that.

Is it just me thinking this Witch hunt against us could possibly be politically motivated against UAE and specifically our owner. ?

Undermine 10 Billion of UAE in investment in UK.

The American owned Clubs are at the front of all this.

Makes you think.

 

[MadchesterCity]

So, essentially, we're saying it's a racist agenda. I'm not necessarily disputing that conclusion, merely curious as to what fans believe is responsible for the apparent disparity in treatment.

100% racism

 

[Mayor West]

I get the feeling when Pep eventually leaves, he will have some explosive headlines to dish out, be it one month, one year or ten years after he's left. He fucking hates the press, and I'm sure got some seriously dark thoughts about the witchunt against the only english club he'll ever love.
