PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

Pinto (or whoever) hacked our email servers, not Liverpool's.

He also hacked Benfica's, Bayern Munich's(?), Doyen Sports (hence the Ronaldo alleged rape emails), a bank in the Cayman Isles, the Portuguese police team investigating him plus one of the judges in his case and many, many others.

That doesn't mean he's hacked the entire world.

This does make you wonder if, the club were approached by Pinto, or his representative, to try blackmail us.

And it's also important to point out that our accounts, and any supporting documents, form the basis for whether we've complied with the PL's Sustainability rules and FFP.

I suspect the fact that any under or overstatement of our financial position still wouldn't actually have led to a breach in either case is likely to be irrelevant. If they find us guilty of falsifying our accounts then the PL/FFP charges pretty well automatically stand as well.

On the other hand, if they find that we haven't falsified our accounts then the chances are that the PL/FFP charges fall by default.

There's some garbage in the DS content eg really derogatory statements about our owners from Uli Hoenes, but they don't mention he's a criminal, convicted of really serious Tax fraud. In an article about Tevez they claim he left because life at MCFC didn't meet his exacting standards, as if we were beneath him. Completey omitted he'd been caught driving while banned and sentenced to 100 odd hours of community work eg painting park benches in Macc.

They couldn't even sue in the USA re. the Tevez reference and they sue each other if their morning boiled eggs are too hard.

I agree that PL had to look into it once uefa raised it but I do think the PL actually feel rules have been broken. Following the arbitration case in 2021 city had to supply info (I assume they did) so the PL could quite easily have said they saw the documents and their is no case to answer.

That they have progressed this and the considerable risk of claims if they lose does make me feel this way. For clarity I am not saying city are guilty just that I don't think the PL would have rushed into it with what could be at stake.

Nothing at stake for PL as at the very least we'll receive a fine for non-cooperation.

Could you explain that a bit more, PB? I think I missed the point ......

Can you clarify this for me who is the they you are referring to and where has the falsifying accounts part come from I thought the Premier League said they had not accused us of such things as fraud and false accounting even tho I suspect they have by default due to what would have had to happen for the charges to be true.

I read your post and thought we where being gone after by the police and HMRC etc etc but I carnt see it

It’s been so long since I read it, I’ve forgotten what they were supposed to have done. It was part of the DS release that was printed over the week.
As I said, chip paper the next day.

Seems to me that your post is inferring quite a bit of back peddling from the Premier League.

This is what City are up against (the aptly named cartel) and have been for a long time now.
City have attempted to level up the playing field, to keep the competition honest (which is in the interests of all other clubs btw).
Yes, there was a wobble (the ESL temptation) but it looks like the club have learnt a lesson from that.
So, no matter what, In City (and Pep)! I Trust.
