PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[waspish]

Yes but the club are going down fighting rather than complying with the investigation and agreeing on a settlement

this would be the prudent course of action, unless you are confident in your innocence

but this is a calculated risk as litigation doesn’t come with any guarantees of winning out

lots on the line, with the loser feeling a whole lot of pain

Not arsed what will be will be Man City going nowhere even if it’s the conferences

 

[Bozo]

We got 99 problems but a pitch ain’t one. We’ll keep playing no matter what happens

Fantastic.

 

[Chi-town blues]

I asked this before too -- unless the debate is over whether the payments are tied to/connected with a Sheikh-controlled entity, and were back to the definition of "affiliated" and whose we use.

I’m sure saint chewing gum never did anything of this nature while in charge at the swamp.

Given it a total swerve tonight with no Micah on. So you have two rags there Chapman and Dublin, Rory scouse Smith, and Sutton who hates us with a passion. I suppose Nedum was conveniently otherwise engaged as well

I listened to the first 5 minutes then fucked it off, the lot of them are all loving the news about us.

 

[blue61]

How does that work then?

I would guess he means that if sheik mansour no longer owns the club. He could give Abu Dhabi investment as he would be a sponsor and not associated as an owner

You could still leave the rest of the management in situ

As it happens I don’t see the charges sticking

Far worse words than ****

Rag?

 

[york away to this!]

Hopefully on sunday our attack will move on at the same pace as this thread...

I love the togetherness that's happening here, come on blues this is just what's needed to get that seige mentally into gear, are we up for this ?
62 and don't care anymore fuck em

 

[Paul1970]

I literally couldn't give a shit about any of this. Absolutely no need to panic - I think City can afford decent legal representation...

Think our lawyers might be abit better than the city centre ones .

 

[IrishBlueSince92]

When’s this hearing, or whatever the next step is, likely to begin

 

[Jesus H Gabz]

Even Netflix would struggle to match the drama at City

 

[Centurions]

Not arsed what will be will be Man City going nowhere even if it’s the conferences

So you're saying we are going somewhere? ;)

 

[ancoats]

if you gotta 100 Premier League fines put your hands up

 

[dan_bo]

Nah m8 - weve got more bollocks

 

[Dogtanian]

I did think that this morning, crap way to start your 50th. Hope you at least had the day off work though?

Nah I was in today but they did a collection and bought me a limited edition City kit, it's really nice Sharon, I'm far too fat to fit in it though but it will look nice on the washing line pissing off the plastic rag neighbours

 

[Oyster28catcher]

When’s this hearing, or whatever the next step is, likely to begin

As soon as Liverpool Crown Court is open after a report of chairs being stolen from Wolverhampton

 

[ChicagoBlue]

I find the lack of anger/frustration with our own hierarchy on this thread mad. Soriano/Khaldoon need to answer serious questions to us.

Hang ‘em all now and we will figure out if they’re guilty later…but I want anger NOW!!! FFS!!

Innocent until proven guilty is still a thing, right?

Until they’re found “guilty,” and even then I’m going to need to be convinced by the corrupt organization that is trying prove that guilt, I will support the organization that has enriched my sporting life since 2008 beyond any conceivable measure since I was born blue in 1963.

For some people, this has turned into a Match Thread and we are already 2-0 down at HT!!

When Spurs got many of their punishments overturned in 1994 for financial breaches relating to illegal payments, Sugar did it by taking it to arbitration. Not CAS but another arbitration panel. I'd be surprised if we wouldn't be able to do something similar if we need to. Perhaps someone can clarify?

The PL rules are silent but they might agree to arbitration to avoid us taking them to court where their political shenanigans would be exposed.

I’m guessing this will go the same way as UEFA ie no evidence, no evidence, no evidence etc, but we will fine you for none cooperation

So I think they literally have fuck all to answer unless we are found guilty (& I don’t mean by the PL kangaroo court)

What is it you think they need to answer mate?

 

[SidJames]

The banter on this thread, reminds me old the old "Yo Yo" days after the game in the Parkside. Gallows humour over a pint.... or maybe 6..... shit loads of optimism things will definitely get better after each pint. Only difference being 100 pages = 1 Pint bwhaaaaaaaaa

Heartening our sense of humour is still out there.
