PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[Jesus H Gabz]

I look at the etisalat deal as Khaldoon setting off a little wind up mouse for the press & authorities to chase around while we go about our business

The PL will have to provide evidence to support their allegations. They can't just pluck them out of thin air. They are serious allegations.

They have to prove them, although the burden of proof will be lower than in a criminal court.

Ultimately it seems they want to charge us with something and make sure whatever it is some or a lot of those charges stand. Just depends on what the consequences are.

 

[The Light Was Yellow Sir]

I’m the shadowy figure from The UAE who gave city 30 million.

No, I’m the shadowy figure from The UAE who gave City 30 million.

 

[leo_city]

It’s bizarre it’s made out to be a pre-determined consequence and we’re made to understand charges one by one lol

 

[Damanino]

Arsenal agree fee with WHU for a record fee for a british player, rags agree fee for Mount, and "new allegations against state owned City" and dragging us through the mud for the millionth time.

just a short summary of today sport news.

also on a different level the media fawning over Arteta, even crediting him of a great job by spending 100s of millions on signings and rebuilding Arsenal while winning nothing, while giving Pep zero credit for success and football created this country hasnt seen before shows us everything we need to know of media bias and racism.

They’ll probably produce the cut and pasted e-mails that uefa used at CAS ;-)

I saw this relating to those payments

If they're essential saying we committed accounting fraud isn't that burden higher?

 

[MadchesterCity]

Piers Morgan is a ****!
Yawn this is so fucking boring!!!

[Petethemancinleeds]

Drip feeding details of items already under investigation is as subtle as the old phone tapping caper that Piers and Co really should have been imprisoned for.

 

[deano ou812]

Don’t forget it’s City being held responsible for other clubs spending vast amounts on transfers and racking up more debt,and their failure to compete ..

If I've picked up ProjectRiver and others on this correctly, and apologies if I'm misquoting, the burden of proof is lower in a panel than a court (balance of probabilities Vs beyond reasonable doubt) BUT in allegations of false accounting the cogency of evidence required to reach that balance of probability must be stronger.

 

[MadchesterCity]

Or publishing fake photographs on the front of the Mirror slating The Queen's Lancashire Regiment? Fucking bullshitting idiot.

Someone should take a hit out on him!?

 

[MadchesterCity]

Well I only managed to listen to 5 minutes of that bitter twisted **** waffling on, 5 minutes more than I should have to be fair, what a rotten nonse

 

[why me? Blue Manchester]

Sick to death of all this now
Needs sorting ASAP

Thanks, that's exactly my interruption.

It is strange. I don't know why the Times would want to be associated with such a weak and poorly-sourced story. I can only assume that Matt Lawton is stupid or has questionable motives. You do wonder about the quality control on the Times Sportsdesk. It wouldn't take long to find the earlier story on Google. Perhaps it was just incompetence.

They do have form/previous. Were they not once the laughing stock over the "Hitler Diaries"

Wonder how you get hold of a leaked UEFA report? Do you just ring them up?

Hi is that UEFA? I'm ringing in relation to the confidential report that you have. Which one? The confidential one. Oh great. Can you fax it to me? Yeah my number is 0161 676 7770.
