PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

Dave El Magico said:
I think we should recommend that every true City fan watch that press conference and take in the fight that Pep showed for our club. Those of us who are there on Sunday should make enough noise to take the roof off our stadium. The General has spoken, let the battle commence.

To add to my earlier response to you,,she is on again, saying pep's claim that City were found completely innocent (which she sarcasticly puts in hand gestured air quotations) is false, because, actually cas's ruling didnt state complete innocence, but that the charges were time barred and and others were not established, so there was no presumption of complete innocence.

The fact that Mikel Arteta, darling manager of leaders Arsenal, has stated "nah bruv, everything was squeaky clean during that time I was at City" has killed that narrative dead, unless of course, Arteta is a liar.

Not really. I’m convinced we have no case to answer but it was dumb to ask Arteta about it as though he would have been privy to shady dealings. Sad for the journalists he wasn’t able to give them a nugget though

Tbh, he's actually decent off camera. I know that's not what people want to hear, but he chats to eveyone and says hello. I can't lie he's been pretty nice to me and actually apologised after being a bit rude to me on one of the overlaps once. He just wants to be the funny guy in the room...

Don't be so naive

He said our titles would be tainted if we are found guilty.

Not the time to be coming out with shit like that. Plays right into the hands of the cunts in the media and worst of all people will think he speaks for all our fans when he talks because of his position.

Stupid stupid comment from the bloke.

he’s a publicity hound, loves a camera, he’s doesn’t speak for me, needs to wind his neck in but he can’t manage it as he’d crawl over broken glass to get his swede in front of the media, do one Kev ya bore, your embarrassing yourself and giving our enemies ammo, if your don’t have enough cognitive function going on upstairs to see your being wheeled out stage left to get some kind of fan condemnation of our club then someone needs to ave a word in his shelllike, the enemy gives not a jot about the musings of saint kevin there using you as a stooge to ave another swipe, a useful idiot, stop answering the phone Kev lad.
 
I think we're all boosted by Pep's performance today. He hit back probably as hard as he could in the face of very predictable lines of attack. These will continue until the issues are resolved, and I hope he refuses to engage on the subject at all in any future 'pressers.'

I do wonder if, going forward, we will change tack slightly and do as little business as possible with the hateful 9. I know we have no track record of recruiting much from the old top four in recent years, but perhaps we'll think two or three times in the future before putting any transfer cash in the way of these twats.
 
Can’t help feeling this was done to bring a response from the PL, let’s see if they start to leak things like Uefa did, it’s a classic tactic when you want to smoke out some info. Suppose we’ll know in the next couple of days if they bite or not. One things for sure, the noncey nine, Levy & anyone else who got a mention will be chomping at the bit….over to you PL

I'm not sure it is.

Uefa asked us for information. We gave it to them. Then we stopped, because we determined they were leaking it. They hit us with a charge of non cooperation. Cas agreed with them, but reduced the amount because it recognised the club's position.

The PL asked us for information. We gave it to them. Then we stopped, becsuse we determined they didnt need any more or anything from that period. They hit us with a charge of non cooperation.

What's the difference? we publicly stated the reason for not giving uefa evidence (or admitted it as you say) where as we didnt for the PL.

Maybe we told them we had given them all the info we had and what they had was irrefutable but they wanted more?

Maybe they asked for something we considered would breach data protection legislation if we provided it.

Grasping or not, that shit sticks. Thousands watch it. She, and as such Sky, have not only completely missed the gist of Pep's whole point (i.e innocent till proven guilty, hold off this judgement you have fantasised), but have actually twisted it to argue we weren't actually completely innocent in the uefa case, and therefore can't be now. So it does feed a very false narrative, that we got away with it. On top of that, they are stirring the pot some more by presuming what the other clubs will make of his comments, without anything to back it up.

Not always been his biggest fan, but fair play to Sam Allardyce for voicing some support for us this week. Makes a change to hear someone not just trotting out the type of uninformed shite that we've endured from the likes of Simon Jordan and Gabby Agbonlahor in the last few days:

Speaking to William Hill and Footy Accumulators’ No Tippy Tappy Football, a series in which Sam Allardyce and host Natalie Pike are joined by a special guest each week to discuss the big stories surrounding the 2022/23 Premier League and beyond, Allardyce said: “Of course there is jealousy – all the other clubs will be rubbing their hands together wanting Man City to be found guilty, as we’ve seen in the press.

“Football has always been unfair. The fact that if you have more fans, you have more money to spend, that’s what it was like when I played. The ones that had the most fans had the most money, and that’s how they grew. Football is a business now; as long as it’s the right money coming in, why not welcome it?

“It seems like the owners and the chief executives want City kicked out of the league which is not the right thing to do. I hope they aren’t found guilty and prove the other side and come out on top.”

Fair play to the big fella. He knows first hand the power of the media to cause destruction. We might need him if we went down to the conference. From pep ball to long ball -:)

I’m in.
