PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

Make of this what you will, but I've just been privy to some startling information that would blow the lid off PGMOL and the power brokers at the Premier League, if it became public. It involves a recording of a conversation between the match day referee and VAR official at a recent away match, a recording that is now in the hands of City.

It's my firm belief that City have compiled a dossier so incendiary, that the Premier League will have no choice but to totally exonerate the Club of any wrongdoing. If they don't, this is going nuclear. Either way, we hold all the cards and this explains why we're so bullish about the eventual outcome. The Premier League are on the back foot, and in my opinion, are currently lobbying the membership as to how best to quietly end the process. I have also been advised that at least one of the "Nasty 9" has had board level discussions with City, distancing themselves from the others in the cabal.

Pep's press conference tells us all we need to know. Watch it again, look at the anger and barely controllable rage in the mans eyes. His attitude wasn't based upon him being reassured about some poxy finances & bullshit charges, it was because he KNOWS exactly what is coming.

Sit back and enjoy the ride Blues.

Add a charge of 'hacking PiGMOL comms' to the list...

I am far from sure that The PL can drop the case. The “ Independent Commission “ is now just that.Its task has been set and it’s work is no doubt in train.

I can understand why you good people are thirsting for the PL to be challenged but think this through if City for instance said “ We have information which we are going to put in the public domain if you carry on with the commission “

There is no doubt that a match official and VAR have an open line of communication but sorry I am not buying into all this

If the PL fail to support their charges then the Commission has nothing to decide… I do not for a second think that will happen due to our new found smoking gun, but your comment that it could not happen is not correct… just saying…

Ha, seriously.

I have already mentioned several times that we should be wary of revenge fantasies. If there is something sinister at PGMOL, that's a separate issue from the charges here and if it's real will come out no matter what happens with us and the Prem. Whatever happens, under no circumstances will the public at large nor the majority of the UK football media nor the other clubs in English football ever alter their perspective about us. Their views are etched in stone. We will never be felt sorry for.

I know they’re not evidence of wrong doing, but they’re far from stupid gossip either. They are evidence of very specific discussions that took place about the routing of monies through our club, and we are under serious investigation (again) pretty much solely because of them. What burden of proof is the PL hearing likely to operate to? The same as CAS or less? [genuine question]

the greater the seriousness of the charges the greater the threshold of probability (of guilt) required.

Yes, the same **** that absolutely rinsed City at Everton for two if not three years running. Wanker of the highest rank.

It was a flippant comment.

I remain sceptical on the 'bombshell' revelations, but as you say COMPLETELY separate issue to the pending charges, which are regarding financial impropriety.

If we DO have evidence of PiGMOL cheating then we can either completely blow the lid off, which has wide reaching consequences (potentially the collapse of football as we know it), or we can sit on it and use it as leverage.

He said Fernandes goal in the Derby was a good legal goal.
Yet Howard Webb now says it never should of stood.
What a bent odd looking twat Walton is

The Fernandes goal decison was the worst I have ever seen. The linesman and the VAR made the correct call and the referee (Atwell) overuled them without checking the monitor. Virtually unprecedented even with the current shambles that is VAR. It was obvious somethig fishy had happened from the body language of officials on the pitch. The cagey response by Howard Webb the next day confirmed my suspicions. He used weasel words (with no apology) but pretty much confirmed the wrong decison had been made. Clearly the linesman and VAR team were hung out to dry by Stuart Atwell so presumably there has been some fall-out over that.

For that goal to stand something very dodge was going on. It was 100% bent now who ordered the goal to stand I dont know.
The pl ? Chinese betting ?

I fucking detest Bayern. Snidey, horrible, devious club, the way these cunts do their transfer dealing through the press is fucking disgusting, as is their domination of a league by sheer one/team financial dominance. The German Rags

Bayern is far from “Dominating“ right now. They have a monstrous lead of 1 point.

It is hard to tell with Stuart Attwell who is generally regarded as the worst referee in the PL. But it is bizarre there has been so little comeback on that goal. The usual situation is for VAR to spend minutes going back in a goalscoring move to find someone offisde and interfering with play. Rashford was offside. He shielded the ball from a City defender and blocked off our goalkeeper. It all happened in plain sight.

Wasn't some of these emails stuck together from different years to make the evidence look much worse than it actually appeared. Surely they can't be using these as evidence, they were also stolen and that alone must render them useless as evidence.
