PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

I don’t know if there’s been a survey at any point regarding what we all feel is the likely truth on all this, but I definitely feel like the most likely story is that we have massively inflated the amounts that we have paid to people by improper means.
I reckon we’re guilty.
It’s been one hell of a ride.
Good luck to the owners at proving our innocence - or preventing them proving our guilt by legitimate means.
I don’t care who we play next week, next season, next decade - but I will be there, loud and proud, in sky blue, hoarse by the end, win or lose.
And I’ve never wanted to go to a game and sing the roof off for 90 minutes than I do right now!
We did it, we won it, we celebrated and they cried, whether they take trophies back or not, we did it, it happened!
If we play Arsenal, Bradford, Crewe, Doncaster, Eccles, I want to be there, 32,000 of us!
And I honestly, 100% don’t care!!

Football was fu*ked by finances long before ADUG paid Mancini a ghost contract! We just came along and got ourselves involved in the filth infested orgy that was already going on. Our strap-on was just bigger than everyone else’s.

If he wasn't a football manager. You would expect to find him hanging around Kids playground with a Pocket full of Werther's Originals.

Why ? is he trying to touch up FOC'S ?
Surely it should be M&M's
 
Sheikh Mansour, Khaldoon and ADUG aren’t going anywhere.

They will double down on City, East Manchester and Manchester.

They will keep on investing in the club and in Manchester, regrdless of what the PL, the owners of the Rags, the Dippers, etc try and do to stop City.

Sheikh Mansour and Khaldoon aren’t quitters. And they won’t be bullied by the PL and their Yank Red shirt cartel clubs and hanger on clubs.

This will all be forgot about very quickly and we can get back to the football once again. I'm not saying it will go away obviously, but for the next year I guess fuck all will happen to us

With the siege mentality this creates for the club, Pep and the players too, just like old whiskey nose used to do, I'm betting on us to win the blooming treble now!
What a kick in the teeth that would be for all of them!
 
It comes across as the club don’t know whether they will get found guilty or not tbh , putting a statement saying “we haven’t been naughty boys” just frankly doesn’t cut it . We are making BBC and ITV headlines at the ten o’clock news ffs. Soriano or Khaldoon need to find their fucking bollocks tbh and put out a televised statement- the fact they won’t or can’t because maybe they have been “naughty boys” actually speaks volumes in a way , if we are that sure without doubt then they need to come out swinging tbh , as fucking usual ,Soriano never comes out to defend OUR club , the self serving hide away in the background tosser that he is , sort your shit our boss , because one thing i know as a business owner , that if anyone pointed a finger at me knowing i was “not guilty” I’d have THEM in court and not the other way round , as per , it’s stick your head in the sand from the powers that be.

I highly doubt it, much as I want it put to bed one way or another.

It would go all the way to the High Court and a stay placed on the original ruling, if required.

We could be talking years until the end game. Far too much money on the table and reputational damage to save.

A part of me would like to think this is a cosy carve up, back channelled, like the previous two skirmishes with UEFA.

However, that was done with the likes of Platini and Ceferin, and this is more about taking on an entire league with self interests and who have used the CAS case as a trial run to close the exits.

Lets just get the CL won before any verdict.

Page 38 of the CAS verdict.

The matter of the authenticity of the emails was resolved because Manchester City provided originals and the panel compared the originals to the leaks and found them to be parts of emails which had names, addresses dates, CC's removed.

"MCFC explicitly acknowledged the emails produced on 18 May 2020 were authentic"

"Mr Widdowson and Mr Pearce acknowledged the veracity of the leaked emails in their testimony. Mr Widdowsdon explicitly did so. Mr Pearce did not, but by referring to his thought process in drafting certain sections of the emails the panel finds he implicitly acknowledged the veracity of the leaked emails."

That refers to emails as a whole, it does not as you stated refer to a single email from a Manchester City executive where he or she is saying to transfer funds.

You as always tried to get one up on someone with something that has only ever been hearsay, and no actual email proven to actually exists as you clearly implied.

Everyone already knew about Mancini receiving a continuing payment from Al Jazira, the club has never denied it. The only reason it is now yet again relevant is the FA are alleging this was illegal, I am sure this will be addressed through the now ongoing legal process…

He doesn't need to ring Sunak. Abu Dhabi aren't going to continue investing in a country which has accused them of fraud.

Interesting angle was wondering if we might have a nuclear option.
Also interesting that we are state owned when it suits but not called it fraud by Abu Dhabi state yet. That could get very interesting

Thanks mate. I've got to say, we've had quite a few messages of support today from fans of other clubs, particularly Everton. It is appreciated.

Well, we owe you one for keeping Liverpool off the top of the table. This is why I don't want you to have your trophies confiscated and given to the losers or second place teams, because you know that lot will NEVER SHUT UP about it.

Haha….I love a good grievance procedure, I once typed out 25 different grievances with a company I worked for when they tried forcing unreasonable contractual changes on me, long story short they paid up & off I popped, but I left those grievances with a colleague just in case he needed them

I'm in a similar spot at the moment. Can't say too much, but this resonates.
