PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[Chippy_boy]

Unless we file a court case for defamation by accusing us of committing fraud.

Very much like how 1 company is suing Fox in the US for defamation by accusing them of committing fraud. They are suing for 1.6 BILLION.

I'm sure City could sue for much more than that! And since we likely have the receipts.. we could get a judgment that would really damage the EPL and those teams who have a vendetta against City.

But its only if we have the balls to go to court!

I am sure we have the balls, but also I don't think it's our style to be seen to be so combative and confrontational.

I am also not a lawyer, but I would imagine our case were we to bring one would have to show that the PL accusations were groundless and that they had charged us unreasonably. A defence on their part, I would imagine, would be either/both (a) that they have sufficient evidence prima facie to bring the charges and (b) that doing so was in the public interest.

Any which way, can never see it happening.

Ceferin has been re-elected at Uefa and has gone on the offensive against the super league and its cheerleaders
His words might as well have been written about City vs the American owned cartel

Is this UEFA's new mission statement?

You might hope so

If he for one moment thought he'd get the gig as 'head of superleague' and the monies that go with it he'd have said none of that.

Or maybe quite rightly (for once) thinks the super league is a shite idea

It's undoubtedly a shit idea but I'll stand by my comments on him which could encompass all who sail towards the top of UEFA.

Tbf he's not as bad as previous post holders but it's all various shades of shit.

Interesting. I'm not sure the Glazers, Henry, Levy and other assorted bottom-feeders realise who they are dealing with here.

It’s actually fucking comical. Choose your fucking battles ffs.

Given how much HMG clearly leaned on them over the NUFC takeover it’s impossible to hold to the view that they didn’t know what they were taking on when they issued all those charges against MCFC.

Which makes you think they either had a stonewall case - they haven’t - or they were under immense pressure to bring the charges anyway.

I came on here to post that, seems significant both in terms of Qatar becoming United’s owner and also our charges getting dropped.

It is kind of expected.

 

[Sir peace frog]

sorry, i haven't got a clue what that means and why it would mean our charges getting dropped, could someone please spell it out for me

 

[domalino]

Feels like we're being set up for a "You only got off because the government fixed it".

It's the perfect scenario for Delaney & co. If we're guilty then we're guilty and if we're cleared than we're guilty and corrupt.

I’d probably take that, tbh.
