PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

What is the PL doing about the hacking by Liverpool,did they perhaps visit the City financial books,and left some dirt there,that’s why they have persevered with this for years.How many times have the PL visited Boston to check the books there.Or isited Cayman Island to check the other red books,regards Bebe transfer which was odd.Fergies son being an agent for United’s players,City play their cards right there must be dodgy dealings out there.The hacking was brushed aside,too long ago but now they are going through from the same era.What is their excuse now.

They said the hacking scandal was time bared didn't they. If they are not using that with us we should be demanding that investigation is re opened.
But this is the PL, remember they did not lift a finger when Tabas etc were throwing shit our way. If it was a red top team I am sure they would have responded to an attack on one of its members

That's what puzzles me. Surely they should be lauding City's achievements, including all the off the pitch stuff the City Football Group have done around the stadium and surrounding area. When you compare how we are run to how the Glazers have run united it beggars belief. There's something more to this, other clubs are involved in my opinion. Why else would they say on Sky that "other clubs have been pushing for these charges to be brought"?

Looking at it from that angle suggests that the "istree" clubs may well have given the PL some form of ultimatum and showed their hand. One thing is for sure, the people running the club will discover what's really going on. This will likely be sooner rather than later.

I’ve counted up and I think the Mancini second contract would constitute 38 breaches out of 101.

Yeah, it’s one of those where 100 breaches sounds insane, but potentially just 2-3 incidents could lead to dozens (and dozens) of separate rule breaches. If you can prove just a couple of these incidents aren’t as malicious as they first appear then the breaches suddenly start to fold in high numbers.

Anyone think there is a possibilty that, like what happened with UEFA, the PL panel will find us guilty no matter what evidence we provide? Forcing us to appeal and string this all out, further damaging us?

Think the allegations and outcry are damaging enough…..win or loose i think this will have a damaging effect on the club through future sponsorship deals or any new players coming in! Thats if Pep does walk in the meantime….

Come on, you’re smart enough to know that’s not what CAS says. Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.

City did not prove ADUG didn’t send the money, UEFA failed to prove they did.

That’s why I wrote a whole paragraph in my original comment about it being foolish to assume CAS and the PL panel would reach the same verdict because they may see different evidence or just be convinced to fall 1v2 instead of 2v1.

True, but how do you prove something didn't happen?

I totally believe in City. I don't think they would risk continuing down the same road with false accounting after all the hassle with UEFA, and I doubt the club would come out and make a matter-of-fact statement right at the very start of this process that they were completely innocent if they knew there was likely to be something in there that would stick. They would have said something like "we cannot make any further comment for legal reasons" or words to that effect.

Spoke to someone I know at the club this morning, and it's certainly allayed my fears a bit. Can't go into too much detail, but the club knew this was coming, even if the timing caught them out a bit, and are confident that we'll be cleared of the most serious charges.
