PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

Scotland says hi.

Scotland can leave without a war if they want;-)

Btw there is no news at all of United and Chelsea investigated by PL. both got Uefa FFP fines, they are both cheaters :), Chelsea even admitted themselves they were doing shady stuff for years under Abra which resulted an Uefa fine of 10m euros. wonder if same accounts will be found problematic by PL too, in theory they have to be.
same as United's minor issues with Uefa FFP, lack of media hysteria over these is quite telling tho.

our case seems to be happening at a snails pace. can see it taking 2/3 years.

but Everton has their date set later this month I think for some panel hearing on their FFP charges where they spent much more than whatever their limit was.
they really spent a lot with generally rubbish results, no EL/CL income at all, big losses each year, they kind of saying it was due to covid but all clubs were hit by covid in various ways.
seems like this case is more black or white than ours wonder how this ends.

can see some points deduction for Everton applied already this season but that will just make media asking PL to do the same with us and fast track our case lol.

It’s a totally different case, which hasn’t even gone to appeal yet.

If Everton accept what punishment their investigation delivers, then it will be quicker. If they don’t, they will be in the appeal process we are in.

They are also not charged with falsifying their books (as of yet), so any comparison between the two cases is moot.

But they would much prefer to avenge Flodden with a good old pitched battle.

A drunk Scotsman would want to avenge a lost game of tiddlywinks, well the one's I've known have;-)

Are we in the appeal process? We’ve not been charged with anything have we?

The 115 charges suggest that we have?

 

[GaudinoMotors]

The appeal would be subsequent to the judgment. Should it go against us.

One day it will be announced no one knows when they will be but that what will happen..

Uefa apparently had a “strong” case and subsequently banned us from competing in Europe until CAS declared that stolen, spliced emails did not reflect reality. So no disguised owner investment.

Yes, so strong that they said "Concrete Evidence".
The only thing that is concrete about both of these cases are the wellies that Richard masters will be wearing at some point in the not distant future!

 

[KS55]

Is it possible that even if we are found to be 100 percent not guilty that it will then go away?

I don't think so.

Let's just get used to being the City that the media hate and the PL don't want.
Our success has increased their feelings rather than eroding their dislike.

Two things will bring about change from our enemies, firstly ownership change or secondly our demise regarding on and off field success. Neither are likely when they continue to tweak our collective tails.

Just an opinion but time may bring change anyway.

It will only go away when City start taking legal action against libellers. A letter of intention should do it as those guys know that they would lose any action.

The thought of that outcome really appeals to me.

Sadly, City management appear reluctant to go down such a route.

The concrete evidence was said by UEFA to be a document provided by City from the archives. It never saw the light of day- ie it never existed.

Oi, leave Phil out of this.

Not sure about chelsea but for united it was reported that they were OK with PL ffp rules but not the uefa rules so are guilty there. It has something to do with what covid losses they were allowed to use with the PL rules allowing more loss amounts from what I recall.

Maybe they’ll change their minds given that the redshirts would immediately reject any not guilty verdict. Khaldoon specifically said this case should put an end to the matter “once and for all.”

So long as the redshirts continue to hold such a strong influence on the PL, together with continued success for the club, I suspect that the Abu Dabi money will continue to be a source of jealousy and attack from the usual quarters.

The consolation is that we are really upsetting the cunts and spoiling their party.

Maybe, but there will be the independent regulator for whom only City voted. Redshirts on a sticky wicket the day he/she takes office.

And in the meantime the FA would like our stadium for the Euros. I suppose it would be unwise to destroy our club beforehand.
