PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[bobbyowenquiff]

LFC fans are fixated on City.

 

[The perfect fumble]

The Premier League have been going back and forth to the high court to get this moved along. They are also having to appoint and independent panel to deliver a decision, this shows they aren’t too confident in marking their own homework. What a mess this has turned into and we are no where near getting it towards some form of verdict and conclusion.

If the Premier league can put in legislation with the government to stop the Super League happening and if the other big six clubs don’t get the verdict they want. surely they can turn round and say the Premier League isn’t fit for purpose letting City winning their competition numerous times whilst this hangs over the club. They can then go and take their bat and ball off to start the super league.

The Premier League is not fit for purpose now. Any organisation that has a regulator foisted on them against their will is clearly dysfunctional.

The Premier League has had four years to bring charges and punish us and yet he we are, with talk of an independent panel with as yet no head, no members, no terms of reference, no power, no timescale, no modus operandi, in short zero, zilch, nada.

But we're at fault, we should have nothing to fear if we have nothing to hide! City should just open the books so a bunch of bad faith actors can go fishing.

You couldn't make this up.

Why are you lot getting so wound up about Simon Jordan?

The only people who listen to that station are dim witted white van drivers while on a break from wolf whistling at women on the street.

Or seen using a hedgehog gutter brush.

Let them go, if that happens. The super league will break the bonds of clubs to their locality and will fail.

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.

I wonder if they have repeated the UEFA blunder of accusing and sanctioning City with no evidence. Masters is finished if that’s the case.

 

[halfcenturyup]

Surely the PL know who they are dealing with/accusing of fraud here. And I don’t mean BJ Buffoon.View attachment 80641View attachment 80642View attachment 80643

Mansour looking very dapper there. All he needed was a sky blue tie :)

Light the sky blue touch paper and retire to a safe distance :P

 

[halfcenturyup]

Yep, sums it up well.

Is that book worth reading btw? I’ve had it on my Goodreads shelf for ages but keep reading other things ahead of it.

I read a lot of social science non fiction but some of them veer too closely into cheesy self help territory.

I can help you with cheesy self help: Cheshire every time.

Lol

For the avoidance of any doubt I was referring to the colour of the van

So you're openly admitting discriminating against black vans?

I have some sympathy with Masters. He didn't start this whole process and he was clearly brought in to bring it to a satisfactory (to the redshirts) outcome. He couldn't really stop the investigation but I suspect pretty quickly he was told it wouldn't get very far.

Where I don't have any sympathy is with his part in the 115 charges which could have been whittled down and presented completely differently, for example as the one or two actual issues that may be open to discussion. He wasn't strong enough to close this thing whilst, at the same time, managing expectations and that will be the end of him eventually.

 

[SilverFox2]

Don't worry they'll find something else to beat us with, that's a given.

Surely we are all used to the fact that our majority shareholder was and is not wanted by the media as well as the red shirts and their deluded desciples?

 

[bitterblue78]

Cult of personality, he's been now seen as a Man City mouthpiece.

Noel didn't want to know us through the bad times and is on record telling his kids to support Arsenal before 2008, living in Highgate.

At least Liam was still turning up on opening day against Portsmouth in eighty degrees with his Parker on!

If Liam could get through an interview without swearing, he would be much closer to telling a few more home truths.

Wasnt noel there against portsmouth too

 

[wolviedinho]

This case is a load of crap, the end.

I've never felt more like singing the blues, City win, The premier league lose, Oh City, You've got me singing the blues...

Enjoy their pain. We ain’t going anywhere. If and it looks like a big fucking if the league had anything on city we would have made a deal. They have no evidence, all hearsay.

I honestly think it’s not worth getting worked up about. Forget the fear of expulsion and titles stripped nonsense. No proof, nothing to build a case on. It’s crap and they know we know it.

They have won the media war but we had lost that along time ago anyway.

Gotta say usually just spot dull white vans on the road. Although weirdly some bright orange ones too!

I have no sympathy for Masters, a man out of his depth, he's nothing more than a front for Arsenal, Liverpool, Utd and Spurs. He looked as if he'd rather be anywhere other than the Etihad on Sunday.

Unless the government gets involved this will drag on and on, but then the process is the punishment and we will have to endure the know nothings, shills, idiots and the partisan screaming cheat and asterisks for years.

The panic amongst United followers is palpable. I was with a group of guys the other day and one who is a rag disciple, says to me making sure the rest can hear, when are they going to do something about the 115 charges.

I asked him which of the charges are you referring to. He replies I have no idea what they are , I haven’t got time to study them

I replied so how do you know if they are likely to be true. He says they must be as everyone says they are.

I said the best you lot can hope for is a fine for non co-operation. That is no good he says, you cunts are loaded.

I just smiled and walked away and could see the rage in his face, a thing of beauty.

Judgement day could be another great repeat of CAS to come

 

[Sir peace frog]

Nice of you to contribute between brain surgeries.

Haha

Sat next to him at Reading in 2006, when Pearce was manager.

When I used to go to away matches in the lower divisions I saw him a few times - Charlton comes to mind - having a drink with some blues. I've never met him and although he says somethings for effect I get the impression his love of City goes deep and in my opinion he's not afraid to have a go at our detractors whenever he can.

Ha. I remember CAS judgement day, I did absolutely zero work all fucking day and immediately went to the pub as soon as the result came in and drank their finest (cheapest) Cava all afternoon whilst reading the full 91 page verdict. (I was 4 hours ahead so it wasn’t morning drinking)

I’d accept the same day all over again.

The verdict was announced by a short press release. The 91 page document with the full details did not follow until 2 weeks or so later.

Alcohol plays tricks with memory ..my bet is that you were pissed on both days :)
