PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[Pedestrian]

how much of a punishment would it take to dismantle our foundations and status ? relegation to the championship, transfer ban of 3 seasons or more, all would take years to rebuild, with the manager players could leave,

my feelings are they will want to punish Manchester city hard that it would take over 5 years to rebuild,
United and Liverpool would love 5 years of top 4 place without little challenges from arsenal and Newcastle and Chelsea,

the damage a transfer ban of 3 years would not hurt that much ? but add relegation to the pot, then it will be over
just think of the mess we would be in ? players leaving, manager leaving, lost revenue, it would be a disaster,
I even think our owners could sell up and say enough is enough,

Crikey I hope you never place bets…

That’s refreshing to hear mate and thanks for the reply, Is Pep on board mate , we need him to steer us through this shit.

Don’t think the owners want this to go on years they want to cut off the snakes head and finish it

 

[chickaroon]

They have given us 2 weeks to respond. Tell them, we are ready now. Bring it on.

Nothing to see here

Independent regulator? I’d settle for an independent ref.

 

[Pedestrian]

Relax.

They're doing this because of money money money.

Guess what we've more money than all other clubs combined except Newcastle.

Wouldn't surprise me if a settlement is reached confidentially and City stay in the PL and nothing happens.

That's how the rich do stuff, no admission of guilt.

The Tory party like this..

What happened to the muck we had on rivals that was alluded to a couple of years ago?

 

[Father Paul]

ate, so that all depends on what the judgement says.



That was stated on radio5 live Nicky Campbell show today by an expert that lpool hacked city's scouting network database & had to pay a fine of 1m lol!
Newcastle fans better get ready for the bullsh1t we have had to put up with since our fantastic owners came to the club .
Mark my words it will be your turn next from certain horrible greedy clubs !

Only if the Geordies start to represent a serious challenge. If we had sneaked one league and won a couple of cups over the last decade they probably would have left well enough alone.

 

[Father Paul]

In the local now for a throw. City shirt on, no bites yet. Enough voltarol on my back to put down a rhino so I'm hoping for a quiet one.

Keep it going Don

It's been stored in the deep freeze, soon to be thawed and prepped to be served at an opportune moment.

They were few and far between before yesterdays news, fat chance of having any for the remainder of the season now

Two weeks to respond to 101 charges based on 10 years of accounts including broad allegations that we have presented false accounts for nine periods in a row? From an organisation which apparently briefed the media even before they served us with the charges yesterday. This really is a set-up.

PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

yep, we need to play back dirty. any dirt we might have on rivals, PL itself has to be brought onto the surface.

I'm sorry...what's that again?!?!?



Interesting that during Stefan's later brilliant summation and analysis of the charges (as usual!!) we heard Lloyd ask his thoughts on this during yesterday's CitySpaces.

However, Stefan seemed intent that he believes the PL charges and UK white paper report timing are unrelated.

Stefan is absolutely fantastic, and would love to ask him some questions on this, but while I ain't no Nostradamus...

• it sure seems like a strikingly odd coincidence given the economic and political climate in England and Europe, with fans growing resentment towards the PL for its wealth, refs/VAR, fairness, and ever increasing sense of disconnection from English fans...
  
  
• To then risk presenting such a massive, archaic, and comprehensive case that could take years, without clear guidance for determining any punishment and cause the PL its own problems I suspect will wind up as severe as it gets says A LOT. Why?
  
  
• I believe the charges smell motivated highly by those clubs who we know hate us, along with the same fans and journalists bitterly angry at City for "ruining football" for a decade, who were then further angered when we pretty much walked away from UEFA charges at CAS.
  
  
• The added key motivation would then be to use City as the scapegoat to throw to the wolves, as they hide behind the populist driven form of revenge to exorcise, or purge this so-called great Satan that keeps "getting away"...
  
  as it's always easier to point the finger than look inward.
  
  "Problem solved, gents. Good show."

Good post. Thanks. Stefan appears to me to be collecting clicks. Good for him.

Since nothing is time barred apparently, the club should issue a retrospective bill to United for the loan of the Maine Road stadium for their games when the Swamp was bombed out of action and playing kits they used provided by City in 1945. Let's call it £50 million.

Finish on T17-Bull.

Picture sums it up. Subtle race baiting.

 

[Father Paul]

I just read your Twitter about this. Fair play to you.

Look I am no expert but the PL charge sheet put out early yesterday appeared unintelligible to me. Now I know I understand very little about their rule book but the presentation to me look like a school project. After four years you would think they would have come up with something more impressive.
Our response in contrast was short sharp and to the point.

 

[woody1968]

Why should be accept anything?

On one condition that the punishment is suspended until every other PL club is investigated to the same extent we have been by an independent body. What have they got to lose after all we are obviously guilty and every other PL club is virtuous and righteous.

Basically the three jumped up clubs stopping the red tops winning everything in sight and becoming monolithic.

 

[Millwallawayveteran1988]

I’m no expert but that’s what is being talked about. Even that slimey twat Simon Stone at the BBC said this could well take years, if that is the case that can only mean one thing, City dragging the cartel reps through the courts, happy to be told if I am wrong.

Manchester City finances: What do Premier League charges mean?

BBC Sport answers the key questions after Manchester City are charged by the Premier League with more than 100 breaches of financial rules.

www.bbc.co.uk

This is the usual biased BBC bullshit but in this they are quoting a Sports Law Lawyer Ashley Cukier under the bit “What will happen to Man City”

Indicates that the process is two stages at most and internal rather than external although he does use the words generally speaking.

If somewhere hidden in our accounts is a figure referencing income from beer sales equating to punters being served in less than 10 minutes waiting time, we are fucked.
Not even Pannick can defend that!!
