PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

By the time this gets heard at any tribunal hearing some of the matters discussed will be over 15 years old, the youngest charges in excess of 7 years old. It's a fucking joke.

We'd have heard something if they actually had any evidence of note with the amount of ferreting done by journalists on the subject. Theyve been lkke a dog with a bone.

Particularly as people like Masters can't keep their traps shut for 5 minutes never mind 5 years.

Something would have leaked that's not already been discussed ad infitum on these pages. Yet there's nout, nichts, nada, nothing. Make of that what you will.

The longer it lasts, the longer they can throw the mud, this was the intention all along.

My gut feeling is that Pep's swansong will be the first proper FIFA club World Cup in USA over the summer of 2025. He will sign off with City as undisputed world champions. And, if that happens, he will be the greatest manager of all time whatever the bitter English media says.

Pep might fancy taking txiki's job.

Kieran Maguire is more of a KFA than any **** you could name from this summer’s transfer forum.

I'm not sure how you've drawn that conclusion. It's not Maguire who said anything about the PL having irrefutable evidence - that was the author of the article. And whenever I've seen Maguire speak on the topic of FFP, City, and our finances, he's always spoken well without a hint of bias. If anything, unlike most of the other assorted cunts who have something to say about it, he talks about City and our business model in glowing terms.

From the things I’ve generally read or listened to, he’s always been one of the fairer, more broad minded people on this subject, certainly rather listen to his take than say FFP ‘expert’ Harris and the scouse ’Barney Gumble’ Evans.

Yeah I think that's when he'll call it a day sadly.

Apologies mate you’re right I got him mixed up with someone else.
 
I reckon this will be sorted before the start of next season for a couple of reasons;

1) from the little we know, there is nothing new in the PL charges so City will have had our "irrefutable" evidence prepared long ago, not least for the UEFA hearing.

2) In the unlikely event that there is something new, City will have been alerted to it prior to the charges being made, even during the course of the investigation. No  fair investigation proceeds straight to charges without giving the subject of the enquiry a chance to explain what investigators think they are seeing.

Perhaps the stress on the word " fair " is they key in this investigation ?

Especially if driven by the redshirt brigade whose major driver would appear to be " jealousy ".

I have always felt that City will get off with this, as in reality it appears to be rather trivial

However I do not believe that this was an attempt to stop City using legal means, it was to change the narrative, to taint the clubs achievements unfortunately for now they have succeeded

" get off" ?
Sniff sniff

So, we're almost 9 months on since the charges, does it take that long to prepare a prosecution and defense after a four year witchunt?
Anybody from a legal background hazard a reasonable accurate guess at the state of play, or is this a case even our legal experts are gazumped on?

I'm not a legal expert, I'm just always getting involved in beefs.
