PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

I know this may sound like a kamikaze approach but still…

Club said they have irrefutable evidence. Why not publish it on the City website? No need to wait, get the info out there. Show the payments and explanations then watch the fallout. Hit back against the media. I am not saying give the sensitive info that would aid our rivals but just the simple payment structure and the explanation.

We are losing the hearts and minds battle ground anyway.

Have we even received the PL's evidence yet?

People say it's all a stitch-up but the fact they charged City with serious matters shows you that it
isn't a stitch-up. It's a very bold move from the
Premier League.

I’m one of those people who thinks it’s a stitch up due to pressure from outside influences. I don’t understand how this proves it’s not.

I broadly agree. It's hard not to think it's politically motivated to create maximum damage.

Historically Stefan disregards all politics, innuendo, conspiracy theory etc irrespective of how much weight we might put on it and sticks to the legal interpretaion.

IF the club was charged with fraud then realistically people are looking at jail time, this is what really makes me believe that the PL dont have anything, if they had the evidence for these charges they would and should have turned it over to the CPS who could have obtained a legal warrant to turn over everything they needed to prove criminality, why havent they?

This is why there's a BIG difference between breaking sovereign laws & breaking the rules of a private members club.

City haven't broken any laws, but UEFA G/14 & the PL seem to believe their rules stand above European & UK Law. They don't.

Things like this should definitely be tackled by the club. Trouble with media is that it “employs” people related to football - such as ex players - who frankly, are uneducated & it shows. I’m not saying they are thick but they don’t have the knowledge, background, education or experience to offer comments. Yet they are put into these situations that give them an uninformed voice

I'd argue that you're thick to a certain extent, if you're commenting on something complex which you know you have little knowledge about.

I wouldn't try and diagnose a car which has broken down, as I'm an Accountant.

We have been accused of Fraudulent accounting, cooking the books whatever you want to call it by the prem league . At this point they have produced no evidence of this accusation , also if they did have evidence then by law they should inform the relevant authorities because not to do so is a criminal act in itself, they have not done this either.

wonder if these global businesses who pump money into city will sue the PL for the accusations they are throwing our way
