PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[Jazzman]

If they can’t be trusted to get the charges right on day 1 - with no pressure to rush them out - then how can they be trusted at all?!

They had only 4 years to prepare.

The Independent Regulator is an absolute must imo.

The PL only has credibility with the whores who know they can directly benefit from this corrupt organisation and the insidious PiGMOL .

Who gets to choose the regulator? I vote for City :-)

I am feeling strangly relaxed today , what will be will be a long time off, hope the team will pull together now it is out in the open , pep isnt going anywhere , get singing ironic, abusive songs to the **** journos in the posh seats

We have been through similiar before

 

[John Wayne]

Wonder how much and which clubs are donating extra money to the PL coffers to bring this law suit

Perhaps the PL should open their books so we can see the source of their funding.

Yes, totally agree.

This smells of the UEFA Panel including Ric Parry all over again.

A Kangaroo Court. Judge, Jury and Executioner.

You hope for that now but when Rick Parry or David Gill gets appointed to the role I think you might change your tune.

 

[Centurions]

My thoughts also. I’d bet big money that the top six have chipped in.

That would be a bit of an own goal wouldn't it?

;)

Bwahahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa...as if! There's a reason everything to do with that shower is conducted behind closed doors.

His wife is a blue isn’t she? Or have I made that up?

Could explain why he’s always quite ‘nice’ to us with his punditry.

Yeah she's originally from Cheadle Hulme ,here brother had bakery shop on corner of Grove Lane called Petes Pantry Big blues .

A fine for non-cooperation and maybe some small technical breaches that many other clubs would likely also be found to have committed if scrutinised to the same degree.

Relegation and title-stripping are hyperbolic nonsense being espoused by an increasingly partisan and disingenuous press.

Indeed, if anyone think's that the other clubs aren't upto no good then they are only thinking of football allegiances before using their brain.

If you put all of this in comparison to United, they're ultimately registered in the Cayman Islands for tax reasons. No-one will investigate that because apparently with the Premier League you can't structure your company to invest your own money but you can structure your company to pay less tax.

I was being sarcastic, chief ;)

 

[spinney]

Thank fuck for you colin

Simple question... are they looking at the same rule book you are , being kind to the PL it seems to be different , but I've long believed there is different rules for us and some others

 

[IrishBlueSince92]

We will keep all are titles/trophies am near enough certain as for the rest I have no idea ,

If we're found guilty keeping the titles is a bit irrelevant to me TBH

Everyone will say we cheated to win them, and we'll have no comeback

 

[Gray]

Just a bland statement from the Club.

They want our undivided support, I personally thing they should be giving us more.

Haha you just know it wouldn’t be independent!

Is this the truth or just made up bollocks. I`m quite a few of us would like to know.

 

[Tricky_Trev]

City's accounts must be the most scrutinized ever. It seem unlikely to me that the PL will have found something which was not found by the previous investigations.

They might have an ex-city player/staff providing evidence. I don’t know how likely that is but it’s crossed my mind. Would help them no end in proving that we made image rights payments off the books, or that people received part of their pay in alternative ways, off of City’s books. But I don’t know how it works - if someone was able to show they received payments in such a fashion, are they able to say that and not face any consequences themselves? I’m rambling, just thoughts that I’ve had.

Not sure what more they can say?
