PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

He looked like someone with a dose of the shits that was stuck out on the pitch when he could feel the next bout coming on.

I would like to think that is because he heard some 'hard truths' - I tend to think that it was more him thinking about how to best serve his real employers

100% he looked like he would rather be anywhere else , the look of disgust handing the medals said so much, what a top hat.
And the way this guy blanked him was superb

Interesting that Richard Masters, PL CEx, was at the Etihad on Sunday to present the trophy and medals to City as 2022/23 Champions.

Hard to believe that words were not exchanged between him and the City hierarchy over the FFP charges especially in the absence of representatives of teams in red or those others pushing for sanctions against City.

Richard Masters had nowhere to hide and will have been exposed. He may have been told some home truths that left him looking unhappy and leading to Peps statement about wanting the PL to bring a quick conclusion to the charges.

I was disappointed he only got a murmered booing. Don't think enough people knew who he was as it the noise should have rained down on him.

I’d say Masters knows he’s on borrowed time. The wheels are coming off, pressure to resolve the charges is piling on and the PL clearly haven’t any compelling evidence and City seemingly not providing anything else.

And if results are as expected this coming weekend he will face a world of shit from Leeds and Leicester, also rumoured Burnley have a score settle over last seasons relegation.

I had avoided it tbh but just watched it and it is ok. One thing it doesnt do is bring into question other clubs who also failed ffp, the dippers in 2014, Wolves in 2021, QPR and Leicester bother failed the EFL version. Just for context it would be nice to see some shit thrown about at the others.

now that City have questioned the legality of the EPL process I do wonder how long this will last. Does anyone know where we are up to ? Does the process stop until the
legal challenge is completed?

That’s a good point about not mentioning the others. How the law applies in this situation I am not sure, the premier league is a club which makes its own rules. I guess if we are unhappy with the outcome we can go back to CAS? However I am sure I heard somewhere that we can’t go to CAS?

We can’t go to CAS our ‘club’ rules don’t allow it.

Incompetent fucker and an incompetent, corrupt shower of shit of an organisation.
Where’s their brand new recently appointed Chairman ? Not a squeak from her. She’ll hardly have her feet under the table and they’ll be a shadow Regulator breathing down their necks. You could see how piss-poor Masters was when the MP’s committee tore him a new one…rabbit in the fucking headlights.

I probably agree with MS on Pep however, like to think the Club strategy, people and operations play a big part too.

Rarely get a signing wrong, let players go when surplus and excelling at all junior and Youth levels.

That is not down to Pep.

I would add that i,ve every faith in the club to be already planning for Peps successor (whispers VK) and whilst there may be a transistion pieriod i certainly dont see a drop off on par with the rags over the last 10 years. Time will tell.

From Pep’s statements it sounds like we have produced and it’s the PL that are dragging this out.

Probably aligns with what Sky are saying with the nodding dogs of Carragher and Neville, trying to assert that we are dragging our feet when the reality is the opposite.

Trusting in our club comes naturally for me and I’m 100% sure that they have absolutely nothing on us apart from us telling them that we won’t let them have insight to our business model and telling them to get fucked every time they ask.

I have a feeling this will result in just another non-cooperation charge sticking like was the case with UEFA. The only charge which I am aware of that slightly concerns me is the consultancy payments made to Mancini, but even if proven the punishment would be a fine? It certainly isn’t cheating - the word that opposition fans love to level at us. To me cheating is the match fixing exposed in Italy.

Its amazing to me, the 'cheating' jibes that are flying around right now. Money is the steroid, and we are 'guilty' of taking it, but no mention of the millions and millions of free hits the cartel clubs were able to inject before they tried to pull up the drawbridge and keep everyone else out.

The truth of the matter that none of these charges would come remotely close to explaining why we are a fucking juggernaut of a club. Good planning and execution explains it, but if you are a crying twat fan of a rival club, I suppose being able to throw the word cheats around might help you sleep better at night.
