PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

What's happened is, city have smashed every premier League record since it began and every fan of United Liverpool arsenal and Chelsea can't hack the fact little old city are the best premier League side ever. Were gunna just keep topping up records while pep still in charge for them never to be beaten. This is why they all so angry they cant take it, it's called jealousy and I'm glad they hate us coz I detest them. City till I die.

It's a crazy situation and the time taken is ridiculous in the extreme.

I have no doubt we have not broken the rules but IF our evidence is "irrefutable" the timeline is just wrong.

Whichever club is accused of breaking FFP, the investigation/punishment/not guilty verdict should be completed quickly and efficiently for the good of everyone and the whole process should be public and transparent.

I thought you were going to break out with cigarettes and alcohol at the beginning of your post there Keeper. :)

The more I read about the FFP rules and City being in the Dock with UEFA and now the Premier League the more I think this whole process is a buggers muddle plain and simple. The old established elite clubs who asked for this were no doubt expecting City to be taken down a notch or two and the path would be clear for them to continue their success of the 80s, 90s and noughties. Not so. And instead, the old established elite have watched UEFA piss in their own chips and now the PL are faced with a tribunal process that could last until 2027 before anything meaningful will come of it. Whilst the private process goes on City should continue to succeed in the PL and Europe..

The buggers muddle that is FFP has had the opposite effect on City. We have become stronger, more resilient and financially very stable.

UEFA and the PL have totally under estimated City's leadership team. Their arrogance has been their downfall. UEFA and PL, both incompetent bureaucracies, have been hectored into this buggers muddle by the old established elite.

The tectonic plates have shifted and the old established order is gone as we know it. City are the best club in the world right now. Who would have thought this when we were playing Macclesfield Town home and away in the late 90s.

UEFA and the PL have picked on the wrong club. We are not typical City anymore.

Despite his believed allegiances you wouldn't have got Stuart Brennan writing an article like this. Shuffling stuttering Bajowski is just another United fan boy masquerading as a client journalist in a local paper which apparently is home to the European and Englush champions.

A local paper which in the last 12 months has been the worst performing in the Uk with a huge decline in print sales( now 7000 copies sold daily) and it’s online viewers have fallen 50 pc. Totally irrelevant.

The best interests of all parties/justice is served by taking the required amount of time to present and examine all the evidence.

Applying an arbitrary timeline to it absolutely goes against this.

I would disagree, if our evidence is as we say the process should be quick but I have never for one second believed the actions of the PL was to damage our "brand" , hence why they are more than happy to delay proceedings as long as possible.

Nobody really buys papers anymore.

Their online version isn’t much better because of the ads that you mention.

Now they’re limiting people to reading about 20 articles a month on their app, so that’ll die quite quickly too.

It’s mostly clickbait now anyway. If you want news about what Gemma Atkinson, Helen Flanagan et al have had for lunch, then it’s the right paper for you.

The silliest comment was by Henry Winters The Times:
”We don’t want lawyers delaying matters”……code for do away with due process.

The strength of the evidence is largely irrelevant to how long it takes to deal with. This isn’t Hollywood where the defence lawyer comes out with a slam dunk comment and says “the defence rests” to rapturous applause.

In fact, the opposite is true, if your evidence is incredibly strong you are even more concerned with making sure it is presented and received by the panel in as much detail and comprehensiveness as possible.
