PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

Aren’t adults supposed to have 32 teeth in total, not per row?

What a ****, put in her place and this is her hitting back, lame as fuck

Good god I thought that Thunderbirds were no longer on the telly ! She is defo a puppet !

Was the time barred stuff serious breaches?

No, City wanted to produce evidence to prove our innocence from that period but CAS didn't allow it because it was too far back and time barred. The media have made out that we only got away with it because it was time barred. This PL investigation doesn't have a time bar so City can produce the evidence to prove our innocence and this is what the club statement was referring to when it said that we can now get the opportunity to prove it.

I'm legit starting to think, given the coverage and narrative that has formed around "well connected" sources, that a good chunk of the premier league have bought into the "time barred technicalities" argument and that's all they're going with at this trial.

I was once told by a good barrister friend of mine “never confuse incompetence with strategy and tactics.” That could very easily be what is going on here. The number of times I have Faced well known and ostensibly very experienced legal professionals and thought “what are they trying to achieve with this strategy?” It seemed ridiculous and without good reason but was being run. It was just incompetence…

One thing I find strange is no-one has identified precisely as far as I am aware who were the people investigating City. Were they the lawyers or finance people from the PL or outside investigators. Have the lawyers of the PL who also the lawyers to Arsenal and provide counsel to Tottenham vetted the process. We at least knew who we were dealing with at UEFA but this process has been shrouded in secrecy

He’s check mated you there, mate ;-)

So we must have handed stuff over then ? I don’t think a quick scan of companies house quite cuts the mustard ?

 

[chesterguy]

Also I am right in thinking that fraud has to be part of the PL statement as if it isnt then everything past 6 years is time-barred. Does that also mean then that the level of proof that the PL have to provide is significantly higher?

Probably the same cunts who were on VAR for the derby.

Was it not Bird and Bird? Apparently arsenals lawyers that have done the legalities and now an arsenal season ticket holder is the head of the panel?

So impartial then !

 

[marco]

No he isn’t.
Both the premier league and City can appeal the decision.
It cannot be taken to CAS though.

yes,there is room for another hearing as i stated,but the bar threshold is high and only applies under certain circumstances, am i correct here?

 

[chesterguy]

And finally to all the lawyers out there if the evidence is not time barred because the PL believe fraud has been committed then doesnt that mean that this becomes a criminal matter rather than a civil one. Sorry for all the questions just trying to make sense of the PL position

Fucking Arsenal. Happy to buy and sell with us over the last decade the stupid cunts.

 

[gordondaviesmoustache]

We dint have to prove our innocence, they have to prove our guilt.

Thanks for pointing that out.

Seems legit doesn’t it.

 

[Grassland Blue]

A further question. If City win this can they apply for costs for their legal fee's from the PL ? (which will be massive).

The winner takes it all
The loser's standing small

Im really confused with how much an owner can put into a club, it;s the situation at Chelsea that is throwing me, how can RA have loaned them in the region of £1.5Billion and then it just be written off?

 

[Mazzarelli's Swiss Cheese]

Fucking Arsenal. Happy to buy and sell with us over the last decade the stupid cunts.

Always the same, whinge about us 'using our oil money to buy their best players', but happy enough to take it and charge us top dollar for their cast offs. We paid for a good chunk of their new stadium which was becoming an albatross round their necks in terms of funding transfers.

I’m sure others will have different views, but Paddy Power take the absolute piss out of everyone and are normally pretty funny with it.

Out of all the media, at least they are consistent

Paddy Power used to have a ‘Ministry of Mischief’ in the old days and they were brilliant! It’s very much watered down nowadays as they are part of the Flutter PLC. But still very funny. But yep - they will come up with something for sure.
