I've just put sky spors news on, just to see the hysteria.

What. The. Actual. Fuck.

Liverpool fan Vicky Gormlessall was wetting her pants because clarence the crossed eyed lion solekhol was saying some titles may go to other clubs.

I mean the only thing missing are pitch forks and the deliverence tune playing out, the witch hunt is off the scale.

And fuck you sky sports, they are absolutely in their element with this.

I think i'm beginning to see the sub plot to all this. We got the five wanker clubs who want us kicked out.

Am i right in saying all american owned, apart from spurs? I mean fuckin spurs, are they the kid at the back of the fight bouncing up and down screaming come on? That made me laugh.

Not one person in the media has joined the dots together with these cunts. They have called this on. 100%. Americans hating muslims, it's in their DNA.

I really hope we bring everyone down if we get shafted.

People living in glasshouses shouldn't throw stones.

I keep saying this... the big threat to football is American investment... not Middle Eastern.
Sadly, the media and clubs not (yet) owned my Yanks seem ignorant to the danger they are... just look at Boehly's comments recently and the attempt to create a Super League with no relegation.
Even Gary Neville said: "

"American investment funds are a greater risk to English football than nation states – they want to change the fabric of our game"​

...and yet the silence is deafening - why? Well we know what nationality Liverpool and United's owners are!

Apologies if this has already been covered.

I have worked for the same highly profitable large corporation business in a senior management role for the last 38 years.

Businesses don't make decisions or decide courses of action, Directors and senior managers do.

Exactly who in the PL management structure is driving this?

And who is actually funding it?

Neither ourselves or the Premier League are going to have chump lawyers. Both sides will pay for very expensive counsel.

What I’m interested in knowing is how much pre hearing disclosure there will be. How much of the PL’s evidence will see in advance of the hearing? How long is it expected the hearing to take? When is the hearing likely to take place? I don’t if anyone knows the answers yet.

BBC website have a Q&A piece on it.

Guess what, not one single examination of the consequences of City being found not in breach of the PL rules.

Zip on City reputational redress.
Nada on previous media hysteria on 2014 'pinch' and UEFA/CAS and it's complete exhoneration outcome.
Zilch on PL impartiality & governance ramifications.
Complete silence on 'cartel' or any other clubs being examined on breaking financial rules, past the 6 years "time limit". Despite obvious ones like Liverpool hacking.
Ignores the looming spectre of backdoor ESL.
No mention of the 'minor' spending of Chelsea in the past 2 transfer windows, the debt laden clubs, the leeching white US owners.

So... completely as you'd expect

I won’t be wasting any time reading BBC Sport for some time now, apart from the rugby.

Bluemoon is the most impartial outlet at the moment, more than any of the national media.

Unbelievable that the Mail has published this story from a discredited source like Leterme. As the publisher they have left themselves wide open to being sued by City for defamation. In fact the Mail could face multiple actions from different Directors at City. Not naming them doesn't provide any protection. If City do sue them then the onus is on the Daily Mail to prove that fraud has taken place...good luck with that one. It's an open goal and I really hope that this time City decide to kick the ball into the net. The timing would be perfect to lay down a marker with the media at the start of what is going to be a long and damaging process.

hopefully city hold nerve and let media hang itself then call out if fair trial can be conducted

They'd fucking better be.

Any reason it has to be a UK firm? Aren’t there some US lawyers who can get anyone off anything if paid enough, the sort who get celebs off rape charges or make sure various illegal government activities never get made public?

Reason is, we have been here before. We know the form.
1. UEFA investigatory chamber found us guilty but CAS, inter alia, said “City cannot hope to get a fair hearing while M.Leterme is in the chair”
He stayed in the chair. He was an ex director of Bayern, one of our accusers.
2. UEFA’s evidence consisted of Der Spiegel‘s version of some emails. Those mails were shown to have been manipulated by Der Spiegel. In any case, emails are evidence of a conversation but not of the action alleged. If I email you saying I am having an affair with Suzie Dent, that is not evidence that I am doing so. UEFA were warned in advance, but they carried on. Many of the PL’s charges are based on these emails, plus an extra one already shown to be forged.
3. UEFA’s attempt to recreate our accounts was done by a serving director of ManU.
4. The investigatory chamber included Rick Parry ex CEO of Liverpool, with still strong connections there. His long term contact proceeded to report confidential info in the New York Times. UEFA promised an Enquiry but never did it.
5. Ceferin, secretary general if UEFA tried twice to do a deal: pay a fine for non co-operation and we will drop the charges. He was told to do one.
6. The directors of Liverpool and MU have a nickname for CFG’s chief exec….the terrorist.
7. Liverpool sent a round robin to UEFA, signed by nine clubs, saying we should be banned before due process was complete.
8. Arsenal several years ago authored a round robin urging the PL to enforce their rules against us.
9. The PL Commission will be chaired by a man with strong Arsenal connections.
10. Our chairman maintains that this is a conspiracy “clear and organised” and that we will refute all allegations.
11. Many of the PL’s charges are based on non compliance with UEFA rules of which we have already been cleared. Are we to be retried for the same offences?
In the light of all this, and many other factors, we prefer to believe our club rather than a set of self serving wankers.
12. CAS ruled that the charge that our accounts were not a true and fair picture was fantasy, requiring a very wide conspiracy of hundreds of people who all kept quiet.
( sorry point#12 is out of place should be immediately below 11)

Maybe some of our legal experts on here can comment but with reference to a US style prosecution in court, we would have access to PL emails associated with the case through a process called ‘disclosure’.

Does anybody know if the same could apply in the high court in this country ?
If so I would imagine plenty of ammo and dirt would surface against not only the PL officials but other clubs too….
