PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[marco]

Mark Halsey needs to re surface and back up his claims from the past 'come clean' and get the ball rolling, the PL have dug a big big hole for themselves here, i think the shits going to hit the fan in the coming months and i also think their going to come off 10 x worse that us

 

[schfc6]

He's trying to be clever and claim a sentence spoken counters that CFG are not a state-owned company.
The follow-up tweet proved it.

His poisoning with:
City claim not to be state-owned, but Guardiola says they are owned by Abu Dhabi, so one of them must be lying!

That’s what I mean. We are actually owned by ADUG, not the State as has been unequivocally proven.

He thinks it’s some sort mask slip, where as it’s Pep abbreviating ADUG.

Pep every night before he goes to bed -

 

[give it to gordon]

I wonder if City have some dirt on other PL teams?

Pep's 'be careful' got me thinking, our owners are exceptionally well connected and it's not a massive stretch to think that some key sensitive information could come their way regarding our rivals.

How to release said information is the puzzle for me. We need an Independent Regulator, they could then just hand over what they have.

I think 100% we have dirt on other clubs

 

[Jesus H Gabz]

Brilliant

Careful Pep you’ve got Etihad on your shirt, that’s disguised futuristic owner investment…they’ll be trying to wipe that promotion from the records & send us back, hope to god he never went to Wembley although he does have an obsession with Dickov

 

[creditunionhero]

Pep's on top form.

He's come with receipts.

Oh shit I hope he doesn't lose them. We would be sunk.

I read through the entire CAS award today and I really think they lay out everything we need to know about this case.

Specifically, CAS asked what evidence Mr Lindsay, UEFA’s financial witness would need to prove their allegations. And he replied -

​

"[...] that exercise requires extensive access to accounting records that - - I talk about reviewing contemporaneous emails, relevant documents, board papers, where in essence it would have to be a very wide-ranging review to try to determine whether or not these payment mechanisms happened or not and it would require access not only to the books and records of the Club, of which I've seen very little, but more importantly it would require access to the books and records of both of the sponsors​

​

​

​

There is simply no way that the Premier League have been rooting through the accounts and bank records of the other parties involved here. Whether that’s sponsors, or Mancini, or Fordham, or players.

​

It would require police powers to find City guilty of these charges.

My view is the PL know that to be the case but for whatever reason the exercise to to blacked the club’s name and reputation even more

 

[Silva61]

So, what do you think will happen when we do have the charges thrown out?
Surely City have to persue some kind of payout for the damage to our reputation... do you think we'd have grounds to take action against some media outlets/journos too?
Also, like you said - the fees for the PLs lawyers will have to be paid, and has been for 4yrs... where is that money coming from?

Pretty sure Pep alleged charges would follow.

 

[MillisleBlue]

Why check facts,when you're audience is a thick as fuck.

One of - if not the - main reason why the media wield so much influence in this country. Tis easy enough to manipulate the thoughts of the great unwashed.

 

[SilverFox2]

Wouldn't surprise me. The PL are in severe danger of fucking up a major, remunerative commercial relationship with a valued partner of the UK.
They're going to get shredded.

Do you think the White Paper was instigated some time ago by City lobbying at Gov level?

At the very least it would require civil subpoenas of records that I do not think would work. Especially for out of jurisdiction sponsors for whom the UK courts have no power over.

It's ok mate,we go back a long way

We don't!

 

[argyle]

Apologies if already posted but it’s Friday night and don’t have time to read whole thread…

It was but the more people that see it the better.

 

[ayrshire_blue]

a unremarkable man in a grey suit with a small brown brief case will call into the premier league HQ , and over a cup of earl grey he will lean over the desk and say ….. now this is how this is going to play out . Before leaving the room as quietly as he came in

HWFG

Didn’t he say something similar about Barca just before they went deep in the shit? I recon pep knows our owners have had enough of this shit

 

[Shads]

If we have done wrong we could be over confident or they could not want a deal or if we haven’t they could think the same.

The amount of money involved transcends the thinking of the reasonable man. For most people what you state is how they would think. With the kind of sums at stake here that would not be expected thought patterns.

So he’ll be gone by Easter then

I just find it madness that they’re turning on one of their own clubs, that’s why I find this hard to believe. I know we shouldn’t rule out scenarios like this, as we all found out how corrupt UEFA were. I just find it baffling how one club can be the enemy not only to their rival clubs, but the organisation they play their trade in.

Sorry bud, if I ignore her content, she’s pretty hot.

I agree

If they could the PL would just have black-balled us from the moment of the takeover. No explanation no problem.
