PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

Now that Neville and Carragher have spoken on behalf of the premier league on their sports broadcasting station I feel even better. Pretty much admitted they tried to fuck us and have no evidence we did anything wrong but want City to show the proof that all is above board. I get the feeling they only have those pesky emails. That was the premier asking city to release the document to clear the charges.

Sky is pretty much the red clubs mouthpiece so by association the premier league’s.

It’s a fishing trip, if they had anymore evidence than what Uefa had 3 years ago they wouldn’t have been sat in this for this period of time. The Premier League should be confident in its rule book and applying the rule book to then dish out the appropriate punishment in an appropriate time period. The fact they are having to put together an independent panel to adjudicate on the matter rather than deliberate themselves tell me that they aren’t so confident. It also taking two to four years to reach any sort of judgment shows how farcical it is and how damaging it is to all parties involved.

It’s in Sky’s interest to City have their wings clipped. If the Premier League doesn’t seem to deal with us in a suitable way to the other big six clubs and the rest of its stake holders, the spectre of the super league then starts to loom again. Sky won’t have a product to sell if the Premier League turns into a back water and the rights to the Super League go elsewhere.

If that's the case then id be very worried if I was an Everton fan, that particular story has got legs-certainly if Everton avoid the drop.

What a sad state of affairs. It also ignores the very firm public rejection of the Super League. The day that a European Super League is formed is the day many stop watching football. The pyramid is fucked.

If we can’t win then we’ll break the train set.

The clubs that were driving the Super league were the ones pushing for us to be chucked out of Europe through Uefa. It’s no coincidence they plotted the Super League after that as big fuck you to Uefa for not dealing with City, they got it disastrously wrong and had to climb down. The money they would have got through joining the super league would have wiped out the likes of United’s and Spur’s debt, no wonder Levy is so pissed off and wanting City punished.

They’ve got one last chance to fuck us over and the Premier League is the avenue to do it. If this fails for them where else do they have to go? It’s hilarious that two of the main drivers in United and Liverpool are looking at new owners, they have tried and failed to scupper City now they don’t want any part of it anymore.

I'm sure once we're cleared with the Premier League charges the piss boiling wankers will find something else to go after us for.
I find it laughable that every other teams fans think out of the whole of the league only us are dodgy and cooking the books.


I'm sure when it gets cleared up there will be a huge, huge can of worms opened up.

Just as a side note, I know absolutely nothing about law, about running a football club or a business but are you telling me that Sheikh Mansour, a politician, a multi billionaire, deputy prime minister of The UAE, with a worldwide reputation, a minister of presidential Court will risk everything, his livelihood, his standing in the world to facilitate and oversee us breaking rules and knowingly allow it?

Do you also think khaldoon will risk his own reputation and then lie to Sheikh Mansour and tell him a completely different story to cover up these alleged issues and accusations?

No, me neither, the more I hear these clowns on TV and radio getting giddy telling us about the charges and knowing what I know about our owners and CEO's, I know who I believe.

Exactly. This is the sort of social circle our owner lives in.
Be afraid, PL, be very afraid.

.......... the PL might think they can target us but any rules applied to us MUST be applied to all other clubs equally and that will be the PLs weakness. We could in effect threaten to take everyone else down with it would be us.

I have commented previously - it would be good to see evidence from the PL of their requests to Trafford for information from the Cayman Islands

This is (if not already) going to be tedious for the next 3 or 4 years.

Still can’t believe this is the situation we’re in and it couldn’t have been sorted with the PL without it going so far.

Masters has to satisfy those that appointed him and their agenda

The fact those two dipper and rag gimps spoke on behalf of Sky Sports and were given a platform to do so shows the people at the very top of the product of the EPL are worried. Carragher and Neville were used as a mouthpiece to speak about something they have very little knowledge about , Sky who pay billions for the EPL product are clearly worried but they keep the feral followers of carragher and Neville happy with the 115 charges narrative . It is like they are trying to draw MCFC into a public slanging match . City need to carry on doing what they have been doing and what they did in the UEFA case . The cartel have become desperate MCFC must not be drawn in into their level we must use this opportunity to destroy them ! Maybe the cartel now realise this ………

I think thats the issue rival fans have. The Football played on the pitch seems to be downstream from who your owners are. People havent gotten bullish on Newcastle all of a sudden because they have a young Messi in their youth system.

That guy in the photo (not Charles), is the most influential football figure in English football for 30 years, even bigger than Ferguson. He has basically torn up the landscape of the English football landscape.

The counter argument is that the heritage clubs get overturned and it allows clubs like City and Newcastle who historically found it hard to get/stay at the upper end of the table. However in doing so you become the very thing you complain about, by becoming a modern super club with infinite wealth to maintain high standards.

I think a European salary cap needs should be introduced across all major leagues. The best players can earn their money from image rights rather than salary from clubs. Or move toward a Bundesliga model with majority fan ownership of clubs.

If I can paraphrase: the gentleman doesn't think the club will be accepting another pinch, and that, in the greater scheme of things, it doesn't matter what rabid football fans and journalists say about timing or anything else. As long as we keep winning, the next generation of football supporters will be City fans, no mater how long this process takes.

Or that if it was time barred that the charges shouldn't have been raised in the first place.

That is how CAS actually presented them. Not that we were guilty but exempt because they were time barred, but purely, that there was no need to even look at them because of the time limitations and they were therefore irrelevant. Which you can just as easily say we were prevented from proving innocence, because of the time bar.
 
Talksport covering the 115 charges. Good cop bad cop routine. Hammering city but also supporting them. Innocent until proven guilty is a sporting myth.

Lazy journalism. Jordan said city charges and us winning the league is the gift that keeps on giving for the broadsheets.

Why are Arsenal a "heritage club" and the likes of City arent? In what decade does a club become a heritage club?

Totally disagree, football has been professional since the 19th century and more often than not the richest clubs win the most trophies. It's only in the last decade that financial shackles have been placed on clubs in order to keep the cartel clubs relevant. If you don't like it there's plenty of grass roots clubs to follow.
