PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

You can believe that rules should be changed, while also believing current rules must be followed, and breaking them punished.

Yes but before the rules changed he also called us an absurd frankenstein club due to billionaire ownership. He is an orange ****

It’s been three days since the PL charges and I’m already finding the whole thing pretty draining. Not spending the next three years (potentially) fretting until a judgement is actually made.

Ric - how do you think I feel? Another four fucking years of trawling through handbooks, toolkits, legal judgements, working out what they all mean and trying to make sense of them for City fans.
 
I’ve heard loads in the media as to what will happen if we’re found guilty, much the same as when we had the UEFA charges brought against us

Has anyone in the media suggested that we might actually be innocent & what may transpire if we are cleared?

If not, why do we think this is, as I’d presume these daft churnalists would think once bitten, twice shy. Unless they have a clear & organised agenda eh?

Inside Info that is always wrong. How did you get access to a computer on a psych ward?

Keep that inside info, inside your head -:)

Yes, it’s like breaking any law. You may campaign hard to change it, but you should obey it in the meantime. This was the historical argument between the suffragettes and the suffragists..

Understand your sentiments Colin, but I am sure that posters totally appreciate your informed opinions and thoughts on these matters. I most certainly do.

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?

One post just to have a go at us. I suggest you do some research and read all the PL rules and regulations.

When you have done what I suggested come back and tell us hand on heart if you actually believe that every other Club has never contravened any of them.

In the meantime get stuffed.

PL charges were seemingly rushed out due to an expected announcement about a Government appointed Regulator which the EPL and 19 of its members do not want. The Regulator question has been deferred by a few weeks. I’m struggling with two questions :-
1. Do the charges brought against City (and the unseemly pile on by rival clubs and media interests) make a Regulator more or less likely ?
2. If a Regulator is appointed, what impacts would it have (if any) on the proceedings against City ?
I’m thinking a Regulator may now be more likely, very interested in people’s views on this and what would be best for City.

It’s been rushed through so that the league can do it their way before an independent regulator is formed.

Our best chance is with an independent regulator with no vested interests. That’s what the club wants and with good reason.

The league hq is packed with former and current directors of the cartel clubs, who have a vested interest in keeping City, Newcastle and others down.

Oh come on ffs. You have got to be kidding?

I’d be like if a robber commits a crime and gets arrested for it without much evidence but then the people who grassed him up fancied doing a robbery too, so those in power, who were the grasses mates, quickly changed the law to make it legal in order to suit the grasses.

Perfectly fair because the robber broke the law but the latter didn’t right? Absolutely reasonable behaviour. You can’t pick and choose when laws stand or exist in order to suit an agenda.

Was a fantastic read, you know you're onions woody.

So the premier league are looking for a smoking gun but all they see is a water pistol.

Fuckin A.

They may have one but UEFA didnt.

If they have one, I’d expect them to have shown City and for City to have rolled over and come to an agreed punishment in private and a collective statement.

They didn’t. Hence unless PL are charging City without showing their evidence (highly unlikely and highly unfair frankly), they are charging us with little to no evidence or based on evidence City think they can debunk.

Either way, if the club is truly confident then I see no reason not to be.
