PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[MCFC1993]

So it's supposed to be an independent tribunal, but Liverpool are supposedly pressuring their mates, the Premier League, to expedite the case. If the PL start putting pressure on the tribunal to get the job done...surely Liverpool want justice to be done. That means things should be allowed to run their course. You Always Walk Alone etc etc

Doesn't even make sense. The Premier League have concluded their investigation. It's with the independent commission now.

Seems like Liverpool based journalists are pandering to their audience.

Very true. The unruly mob will be pleased about this. No doubt Klopp made the call to the PL himself

Is it? I don’t know the details but if we employed Mancini as an advisor by city football group why would that be illegal? It’s not allowed by ffp but it’s certainly not illegal in the real world as long as everything is declared to the tax authorities.

It's not illegal and FFP didn't exist when Mancini was first appointed.

 

[Iassel]

Haha. Cunts.

I mean it’s not surprising and I’m sure they’re not the only ones keen to have a resolution asap.

Logically, the hearing needs to be early enough that any subsequent appeal (if necessary) can be heard prior to the start of a season, and the windows are quite limited now before the start of next season, especially as it’s not going to be a 1 or 2 days hearing…

Walking away from UEFA when their dirty tricks emerged and putting our faith in CAS turned out to be a smart move. We don't even know who is on the PL-picked panel considering allegations which could destroy our club which has been at the heart of the Manchester community since 1894.

I know the club signed up to the rules but it’s not like we had a choice. We didn’t sign up to the red clubs relentless attacks on the clubs reputation. Nor did we sign up for those same clubs to use the premier league to constantly stifle progress, not that it did anyway.

If anything we should be taking the league to court for the financial allegations they have thrown at us!

We need to be challenging the legitimacy of FFP anyway.

My only thought is that we already know how this is all going to play out. Maybe deals have been made and it’s just a matter of time before the public become informed.

We will not receive a fair hearing. We all know this deep down. Maybe see if we can get the hearing moved to Mars? -:)

Unless the Martians are dips aswell?

Or maybe we could just move to Mars.

Although there’d still be early leavers.

Unfortunately for them, they have no say in the matter so they can push all they like.

Fuckin busy cunts.

 

[JewelZee]

I think you’re dead right. They could have really damaged us a decade ago but any attempts to kill us off now we’re treble winners, completed the threeple etc…let alone the global football clout of CFG and Abu Dhabi at our back…not a fucking chance. A few hacks in the press box, Gary-Fucking-Lineker, the BBC, Sky/TNT, juvenile butt-hurt fans of the old Sky 4….all yesterdays men. We are a big part of the future - whatever they think.
They should’ve drowned us when we were a harmless puppy, we’ve now grown into a snarling big dog and will seriously hurt them if they try it on. The smarter ones will get that and shift their ground. It’ll happen. Either way, these no-marks will not be taking us down. I don’t think many of them realise how far and how fast they’re falling behind.

1000% spot on...I've been saying that...that ship has long sailed, as I said in an earlier post...

Lol

If we only played our home matches on Mars they might have a case.

140 million mile journey back to earth. Maybe just leave after HT?

Might be quicker in a Tesla -:)

Allegedly.

Of course, as said though, logistically if it’s happening in 24, I would think it has to be either circa March or circa September to avoid the risk of appeals crossing seasons and causing total chaos, so they might not get a say, but I wouldn’t be surprised if they get their wish of resolution prior to 24/25.

 

[meltonblue]

I haven’t reviewed all 115 charges no and before you jump all over that I would bet my house 90% of people posting in here haven’t either.

From what I have read I think we did employ Mancini after he was sacked in an advisory role. How much of the role was to counter FFP or was really a job in itself only Mancini and city know. My hunch is it’s what’s called “creative accounting”. Does that mean the charge will stick? Who knows but I equally don’t think that charge is so unfair gross miscarriage of justice.

Anyway apologies if I’ve come across arrogant I just find a lot of posters in this thread only want to deal in theatrics.

He (if the leaked documents are accurate) signed the contracts with us and Al Jazira on the same day. The email chains for it and invoices don’t look particularly great either, that’s the one I think will be hardest for us to explain.

 

[Tb1981]

The total arrogance of Liverpool FC. They are trying to interfere in a legal case of one of their commercial rivals. It couldn't happen in any other industry. How long do they think a case involving millions of documents and 115 allegations will take? This is more complex than many criminal cases handled by the Serious Fraud Office and will take years. They can't keep their noses out of other clubs' business. They are the most despicable club in European football. The source of this story is Kieran Maguire, Liverpool-based, and a genuine football finance expert. He knows plenty about Liverpool's dirty tricks.

Dipping twats hoping they finish second then
Hope Saudi buy salah and loan him to Newcastle

 

[mackenzie]

Expected of the cunts.

I hope they're crying their eyes out when it's all over.

Absolute bastards. Shitehawk lowlife dipping gits.

but what they have accused us of is that Mancini was paid part of his City salary elsewhere ,which is false accounting. Whether it's true or not I have no idea

 

[Bluemoonadam]

The Premier League is fast becoming a cesspit

Time to join the super league, i was 100 percent against it at first but if I'd of known what I know now I'd of been 100 percent for it time too stick 2 fingers up at the Prem!

 

[jrb]

I don’t remember any sympathy when UEFA changed their FFP regulations at the last minute and on purpose, knowing City would fail FFP.

Oh the romance of the Merseyside clubs, their history, and the city of Liverpool.

Yes, the punishment is unfair.

 

[Colin Bells Boots]

Well it's down to them ( and others ) that we facing this witchhunt by the PL , so they no doubt feel entitled to try and force the outcome and timings.

So much to answer for.
