PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

Incorrect. We played Chelsea away on the Sunday with a 4.00pm ko, which was followed by a trip to Ukraine for a game on Wednesday although with UEFA rules we have to be there 24 hours prior to ko so that meant a Tuesday morning flight. We then had the league cup final against the wall pushers at Wembley on the Sunday so something had to give and it was the FA Cup. I actually think we asked for a Saturday lunchtime ko to give us a little longer but TV ignored the fact we were away in the CL and stuck two fingers up. It's something they continue to do with all CL clubs to be fair by either giving them the 12.30 Saturday slot after a Wednesday away tie or a 5.30 Saturday slot with a Tuesday tie in the CL. They just don't help clubs in Europe like the countries do.

I think the Met Police also had a say in that. Fulham had a home game on the Saturday and they said that both they and Chelsea couldn't play at home on the same day so we had no choice but to play on the Sunday

No, because the auditors have to take it on faith that we've been honest with them.

But surely the auditors have as much info as the PL unless they have been given information by third parties. We need our auditors and accountant to meet the financial regulations. No one the PL or our auditors / accountants can actually take documents etc They are not the police. Of course they can ask for stuff and it’s a good idea to give it but I carnt see what they would be given that’s different. And the PL are not charging us just because they don’t have information. There are things people could request that they have no right to such as bank details of the sponsors that go beyond what is needed there checking on us not Etihad etc

We don’t know for certain who voted which way, but a lawyer from the German arbitrators own office, after it was finished, wrote a piece “proving” we were guilty. Published in Der Spiegel iirc.

Impressive considering there was no German arbiter…

Sorry, who are you defending Bayern,VW or Leterme with a big list of allegations against him? That man is dishonest and has worked with the Qataris. Qatar Airways are still a Bayern commercial partner last I looked(official airline partner). Not sure how much of a motive that is though. That's more relevant to the PSG "mistake" when he somehow failed one of the biggest parts of his job: "Oh... So QTA is overvalued???... Must have missed that, sorry boss". I just don't think he can be trusted on his word. He has said the Premier League have a stronger case against City in general, seems far more vocal than he was about PSG(did he not comment or did he comment but nobody cared?), who were actually let off on a technicality.

The joke was that UEFA appealed to CAS against their own decision that PSG sponsorship was at fair value.

The auditors would have seen the same hacked emails as the PL and UEFA, the difference is that they wouldn't have asked us about them (or started an investigation).
