Yep, you don't get relegated or titles stripped for disagreements about putting expenditure X42y/7 in column 37b-12 rather than 37b-13.It's part of the unfortunate hysteria of reporting.
Because there's no obvious rules around punishments, people let their imaginations run wild. There's a report in one paper about United staff wondering about getting winners medals for 2017/18.
The punishment could be a fine, points reduction, relegation, expulsion from the football system - even forcing the season to be replayed is theoretically within the Premier League's powers.
It's what makes people think they've been cheated when the club only gets a fine.
A big dark hansom, beautiful monster.If that pesky Paul Dickov hadn't scored against Gillingham, none of this would ever have happened.
The goal that created a monster.
This isn't a criminal case - yet! Sub-judice isn't relevant. We could put anything we want into the public domain, but that only attracts further attacks or counter arguments, and City are too professional to do that. They'll keep their powder dry for as long as possible. That's what good lawyers advise their clients to do, and that's what good lawyers do in practice.I agree 100%. IMHO the possibility if sub-judice doesn't apply here as the PL have already decided we're guilty and come what mud will stick. Khaldoon should come out fighting and call out the entire organisation run by the cronies of the cartel clubs. At least it would put forward our case into the public domain. The so-called independent commission will be a kangaroo court with apparently no right of appeal. If (and when) found guilty, it would seem that the only recourse City would have is to sue in the High Court.
This has really got out of hand and all because the cartel didn't like us gatecrashing their little party. We've never been welcome since 2008 and we sure as hell won't be in the future.
I know who BDO are, but they are tier 2 not tier 1, as good as they are
I haven't looked until just now but someone posted it on here so just had a peek, then switched off, will be cancelling the Sky subscription when my deal runs out at the end of the season and I've had the service since its inception in the 80's.If you want a positive spin the media is not the place to look. For every fair article/comment there will be 1000 the opposite. I haven’t watched SSN, or been on twitter since this broke, because I know what I would be letting myself in for.
Clear and orchestrated has never been clearer nor more orchestrated - our combined enemies are determined to put us down.
When I see the photograph of Stretford, Gooner and Livarpool big-wigs cosying up to each other over lunch, I can't help wonder what secretive societies and anti-arab racism are represented round that table. Add in complicit, compliant media and it's hard to believe that this is being orchestrated at anything other than the very highest level. Been in Finland since Sunday with family and whilst gutted at what has happened am still and always will be walking around in my city colours Some Snidey looks but not a word Hope City destroy these hateful media cnuts
Allegedly.
Relax guys we’ve got a proper run club. Not your American Mickey Mouse ownership shite. They are not going to go back in their Time Machine to remove Jack all. It’ll all be historic petty bullshit like you’re selling Yorkshire tea on match days when actually we’ve found out it was Ty-phoo. 100 breaches of utter nonsense.Rousing, but disturbingly defeatist at the same time Lav.
We need to raise to noise levels on sunday. A rousing rendition of "we're going down with a billion in the bank" will suffice nicely.
Fuck 'em.
"Blue Moon, You saw us standing alone"Just seen that. Is this bollocks below true? If so prepare for everyone looking to fuck us over.
“The Premier League's most severe punishment in these circumstances would be to expel City and it has been reported that the English Football League would be under no obligation to accept them.”
We must have some right of recourse that will inflict pain on those that would destroy us. You describe exactly what is going to happen. We are diminished for at least the next three seasons. There has to be something the club can do other than follow a process that is controlled by our enemies. If we have anything on these other clubs then its time to use it.It won't be allowed to go quickly, that's the issue.
It's a win-win for the Premier League and the lobbying clubs.
It's a guilty verdict in the first instance, barring City having a strong set of recordings or emails showing this is a witch hunt and irrefutable.
At the very least, they and our rivals know we would appeal until which time we exhaust every avenue up to the High Court.
In the interim, it materially damages us both on and off the pitch. Players we are interested in might look elsewhere, players we have, might demand to move elsewhere.
Commercially, we would be off limits to pretty much everyone but our Abu Dhabi partners.
The timing also conveniently addresses the white paper delay and comes as we still battle for three trophies.
We win something, it is further smeared.
We don't win anything, it has also played its part.
It would be a transfer ban in all but name and clubs such as Chelsea and Arsenal can crack on, while United and Liverpool become more attractive to investors because City's competitiveness is diminished.
Clear and orchestrated, which is why at the very least, it will be medium to short term pain until we clear our name.
We will lose the battle but win the war. Perhaps our rivals are more than comfortable with that.
We will still have the CFG cup."Blue Moon, You saw us standing alone"
ADUG, the owner of Manchester City, did provide money for Etihad to pay their sponsorship.
The problem for UEFA is that's not inflating the value of the sponsorship, which is what they accused City of.
Yep and not on the advice of our accounting team haNo we shouldnt , it might land us in hot water legally wise , we fight battles on advice of our legal team
This is the only issue I now have with the club. UEFA/G14 & The PL Hateful Eight won't stop.Only counter point was how we bounced through UEFA bullshit and jogged on, champions twice over.
