PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[LucahArchie10]

Definitely Mancini.

Danny Mills

 

[Northblue]

Almost every year since 2011/12, we've been charged with rule E.3

Each Club shall by 1 March in each Season, submit to the Board a copy of its Annual Accounts in respect of its most recent financial year or if the Club considers it appropriate or the Board so requests the Group Accounts of the Group of which it is a member (in either case such accounts to be prepared and audited in accordance with applicable legal and regulatory requirements) together with a copy of the directors’ report for that year and a copy of the auditors’ report on those accounts.

I'm far from an expert (hoping somebody could clarify?) but to me this reads we either
(a) Didn't supply these each of these years.
(b) DID supply these but they have been falsified

I highly doubt (a) as we would/should've been pulled up at the time on each of these occasions (also in what world would we be that incompetent?)

And is (b) not a case for HMRC and our auditors?

 

[Bell7575]

It's already been debunked. I should imagine that the club has non-disclosure agreements in place with all its employees earning over a certain threshold over such matters.

Would an NDA cover a PL investigation?

He's a fuckin rat, his whole family's all rats

And we don't have any fucking lime . . .

 

[Stoned Rose]

My wife who likes football but doesn't know much about it has just said that if we are found guilty then every other prem club should be investigated as they're all dodgy. Well said Mrs.Ford

Pics?

 

[KS55]

One thing at least when this is done it's finally fucking done. No other mysterious body to pop up with another case.

I think the club‘s thinking this will put it to bed is wishful. The American redshirts and others will never give up. BUT if we win we MUST sue the Grauniad and all the rest when they ignore the verdict.

I think we all know the answer to that one mate ;)

I think City might like to get an answer from a court of law as to why it alone is being hounded. The PL might find it rather embarrassing to provide an answer.

 

[the blue panther]

Arteta would be my guess he has the inside knowledge and motive.

Captain Black - I always thought he was a suspicious looking ****.

 

[cheekybids]

Is this aimed at me?

It was a reply to you using the “I can’t believe”

 

[The blue phantom]

I was going to ask people’s opinions on Stefan, I mean in a way of is he someone to listen to or not obviously just opinions. I used to follow him but had to unfollow as I found every tweet depressing to be quite honest.

The new David Conn.

 

[Chappie]

Danny Mills

He definitely stole a living at City

 

[SuperSilva21]

Just can't see the Premier League following through on most of the breaches (especially rule 3, 15 and 16 which don't even exist) worst I expect from this is a fine!

Seems those rules didn't exist afterall!

 

[richards30]

Strongly mentioned where and by whom?

Provide your sources instead of using this to now smear players you have personal issues with.

Personal issues with??

 

[whipper]

Danny Mills

I'd erased that he'd ever played for us out of my head, until now :(

 

[woody72]

Don't forget the great barm vs muffin debate which I still don't understand and I believe has yet to be resolved

It's a bap .

 

[mcfcsamm]

Twitter space with Stefan starting now if anyone’s interested.. Lol

 

[nozzyblue]

Does anyone know how you get onto a ‘space’ on Twitter?? Wouldn’t mind listening to what that city supporting Lawyer has to say on it

 

[argyle]

Twitter: there's a former player turned mole.

Bluemoon: its a parody account, take no notice.

Also Bluemoon: names every player they dont like.

 

[Palerider]

Whether we are found guilty or not, this may be disastrous. How will it affect player focus and performance when we need it most? How will it affect our summer transfer window, with target signings wanting to stay away until this matter is finalised? How will the club react if not found guilty of the charges?

I doubt it will affect the players at all. As for the club, well most of the fans are well up for the fight on this. Could be an absolutely brilliant time, the club needs us again!

Would an NDA cover a PL investigation?

Hard to know. But I find it hard to believe that a disgruntled ex-employee would take the risk. For what it's worth, I think most of the 'evidence' is based on the Rui Pinto hack.
