This is not a criminal trial so there is no legal risk other than defamation. But the main headline on the article states: "UEFA's Chief Investigator says he is convinced Man City have committed fraud." As the publisher the Mail can't hide behind the fact they are quoting someone else. They have published it and to make matters worse they make no attempt to balance the story. The story is as libellous as it gets. There are several other defamatory pharases including one which impunes the integrity of the CAS judges. It is a slam dunk for any competent libel lawyer.

Exactly, the club, CAS and EUFA have to act as it's questioning everyone's integrity and honesty. It's outrageous. We need to nip this in the bud now, we know they're all against us so we've nothing to lose.

Now the dust as slightly settled.

Football as we know it is about to change. Similar to the world we live in.

We are in big trouble & im not sure why & we probably will never know. Politics at play with the league & other clubs.

The fact so many clubs have said they want us out is bizarre when you look at the cash Utd, Newcastle & Chelsea are throwing around.

They want this city project stopped now & will go out with guns blazing to stop it.

The prem league lose this battle then the brand is damaged forever, I actually think if they win & the brand is damaged. Makes it even more strange what they are doing now in middle of a season. Nobody wins from this.

I’m really not sure where this will leave our beloved City but I do see us being charged. 100% fine & heavy point deduction & sadly I do see a relegation thrown in too.

Bizarre times. We might be seeing the last of pep to so I hope his song is loud for the rest of the season.

Cheer up. The most damaging allegation against City is that we presented false accounts for nine years on the trot. That is a hell of an allegation to make and if it's true then some of our Directors could end up in jail because the authorities will take swift action if it is proven. But proving these allegations is going to be a hell of job for anyone, especially an organisation like the PL.
And these most serious allegations are vital for the rest of the case to succeed. The Mancini stuff and image rights stuff is a sideshow. I suspect, that like a lot of legal actions, the only people who will win will be the lawyers.

I agree.
I'd like him to make a video addressing the fans, making it clear, using hard hitting language that we intend to fight this and with the evidence we have, intend to win!
Let him put the fear of god up the PL as i want to see them sweat over this.

I have seen lots of posts in here about Khaldoon will get them, City will get them, we’re going to ruin uefa and the Premier League, but I am honestly not sure where these sentiments come from cos only the other month our club put out a joint statement with lfc basically making our fans seem like theirs. So while I fully appreciate we employ a lot of very very clever people, including chairman Khaldoon, I don’t think we are necessarily more powerful than the premier league when it comes to matters of the premier league. It’s a bit like the bouncer who doesn’t like your shoes and won’t let you into the club; however nice and shiny they are if he doesn’t like them you don’t get in. By the way I am not saying the premier league are like nightclub bouncers, as bouncers have significantly more class, dignity and integrity. We all know that the premier league doesn’t want us in

As a fan of another team, I find this very interesting. But what strikes me after reading a lot of this thread is that there's a lot of blame-game going on here. I've read a lot of blame towards other clubs, the FA and PL, but very few, if any, are talking about the real case and the substance in the accusations. If there's done something wrong, which the enquiry will find out, surely there has to be consequences.

If you would care to tell us the substance of the accusations, the evidence the PL have against us we would be able to talk about it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Not sure what you mean, the PL obviously doesn't have the power to do anything like that.

If you mean the PL will pass judgement and then the authorities will take over - if they had evidence of such serious financial criminality I maintain that it wouldn't be the PL investigating/passing judgement it would be the HMRC, UK Financial Crimes Unit, the Police and the CPS.

So Arsenal FC's lawyers will be presenting a case to an Arsenal FC season ticket-holder which could directly benefit Arsenal FC?

And some are saying it will all be done professionally, and impartially. bwhaaaaaaaaa

It is like a Criminal case being Prosecuted by a good friend of the Victim, Judged by a Relative. And 12 of his best mates on the Jury.

I can not believe one, or two, are actually expecting an unbiased conclusion. They need to give their Head a huge fucking wabble.

They have already found us guilty without trial. Their Dogs in the Media are providing the narrative to throw the metaphorical Kitchen Sink at us punishment wise, pontificating afterwards that the excessive punishment was "For the Good of the Game" and not to protect the Top 4 Sarc.

This is going to the High Court.
