PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[City Raider]

Felt tired of it all when news broke but angry now. All these cunts had decades with more money than anyone and spent it with impunity. A bigger bully came to the playground and they simply changed the rules. Whatever happens, that is all this is. There’s only one set of cheats at play here.

Look on the bright side - all those fans complaining about plastic fans & half/half scarf wearers can enjoy watching us when we’re relegated & only the “real” fans are left :) :)

We never win in Court and we never had a grass,
We lost in Zurich but we won at CAS,
We don't give a fuck coz we're all lawyered up,
MCFC OK

Depends on what the information they were sharing was.
If they said here is my pay cheque from January 2013 and here is an additional 500k paid into my account from an Abu Dhabi bank account, that would be pretty damming.

And would drop them in deep shit with their relevant tax authority.

 

[Manx Blue]

What is painfully clear from this thread is that the vast majority have never had any dealings with the dibble, tax authorities, regulators etc and assume charges are equivalent to guilt
I’ve had dealings with all three, many times, spurious and vexatious allegations each time. I’ve run fucking rings around them every time when it came to a substantive hearing and I could calmly probe my innocence. These people aren’t really that bright and are as susceptible to bias and external pressure as anyone else
And I’m just a nobody from a shithole like Longsight. Imagine what someone like Khaldoon has access to?
For all those wet wipes who think just because we have been charged we must be guilty, I would suggest you don’t post on this thread again until you grow a bit of hair on your balls

Chapeau Monsieur!

Khaldoon should pull the racism card out and see how they handle it, say there has been a witch hunt of Arab owners from the start uefa and a premier league, if there isn’t why aren’t they investigating the American owners etc. Let’s see them squirm at that. Chelsea drop £500 million and no one bats an eyelid this comes after their Russian owner was banned, i dont see anyone up in arms about that, is it because they are white. City should go on the attack now stop puss footing about trying to be nice and not offend anyone, they don’t want us well fuck em let’s rip them a new one

An apposite point considering the likely ethnicity of the appointed Arsenal supporting Chairman of the 'panel.
If you're going to play that card, go in hard. Fight fire with fire.

Pure bollocks.

I agree

Been there, done that!

I do feel kind of sad for the players. Imagine winning a trophy and playing your guts out, only to be told that it doesn't count because your club is going to be penalised and it'll be awarded to Liverpool instead even though they came second.

 

[SidJames]

Funny how it's 100 and not 99 or 101. That's a nice round headline number is 100. Almost as if it's been made up.

Some Rag/Scouse **** at the Premier League trolling us for sure.

Not realising we will wear it as a Badge of honour and celebrate it until we are cleared.

 

[Roachy]

It’s hilarious isn’t it. So of all the teams in the PL; City have committed 100 crimes but everyone else is beyond reproach. Putin would be proud of such utter one sided justice. What a farce. Got to say I hope City clear our name and take a few of our enemies down…. But my biggest sentiment is that football is rotten to the core and I’m done with it longer term. Season ticket holder since 1988 but this isn’t what football is about - it’s pure jealousy and big business demanding success at others expense. Chelsea, The Rags, Arsenal and Liverpool are demanding an annual CL bonanza - and it can’t be guaranteed by free and fair competition so we get this farce…. Newcastle will be next.

That's a shame mate, but understandable. The game was only going to go one way once the PL started and Sky etc. moved in. Money, greed, jealousy.

Think we might need to nick the Millwall song......"no one likes us, we don't care"!

It won't happen.

I'm sure that all these "charges" could be made to go away if we were sponsored by these paragons of fiscal virtue and correctness:

Arsenal fan heading the committee.

Just need taggart doing refreshments and scouse plod doing security then i'll feel really confident of a win.

Yeah we’ll be shitting ourselves the PL have such leviathans on their payroll….Dotty Doris, turning tricks in the staff brew room.

Cheer up. Not the remotest chance of that happening.

Exactly, beaten by the better team but "we should have won". Based on something nothing to do with the players or manager, that might not even be true.
