PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[ayrshire_blue]

Pep’s just said in his presser there’s more of a chance of him staying at the club if we were to get relegated to league one than there would’ve been after winning the champions league.

he just gets it - what a bloke

"Tough game guys, Mansfield are a really really important side. In the transition, in the press, so so good. We will be there".

 

[Scaring Europe to Death]

The Media aren't particularly interested in guilt or innocence. They just know that by continually badgering and badgering they'll get more "likes" and views from the City-haters, especially during International Breaks or non-news weeks.
It's even got to the stage where a complete exoneration will be treated like a victory for power and corruption, and whilst I agree with Stefan's assertion that the club has every right to defend themselves, I also believe that ultimately the time factor will work against us, essentially because the media will portray it as a delaying factor.
I'm sick to the back teeth of this Kangaroo Court justice from the likes of Harris, Syed, Rudd, Delaney and Sweeney.

I couldn't love the boss more for saying this. I just wish he weren't the only one doing so.

They continue to entrench our polarized positions with their futile attempts to divide and conquer.

Just because the media believe what they print doesn't mean it is true.

How ironic that a once truly professional media has to resort to questioning the integrity of auditors and accountants in other sectors simply to sell their wares.

Yep. It was all or nothing with UEFA with rumours that Ceferin had offered us a minor punishment when he turned up for that Shakhtar game a few months before they slapped us with the 2 year ban. The club were clearly confident of their position, otherwise we would've cut a deal before it went to CAS IMO. It seems they're equally confident this time too.

City confirmed the Ceferin offer. Omar at a City Matters meeting I believe.

The media narrative now being peddled for simple minds.

Everton were deducted 10 points for one breach even though they co-operated with the PL.

Manchester City face 115 charges and fail to co-operate and admit their guilt so should be punished accordingly.

No mention that Everton admitted their breach with the evidence in the public domain through their published accounts. We have seen no such hard evidence against City yet 115 charges are being pushed as uncontroversial and the possibility of them not being proven is incomprehensible.

How dare City challenge what are very serious charges and claim to have irrefutable evidence to disprove them? Punishment needs to be delivered without further delay. The only way City conceivably can get off is by delaying further through the use of expensive lawyers and exploiting loopholes and technicalities. In spite of being cleared by UEFA of similar charges, the possibilty that the charges cannot be proven and the consequences of the reputational damage done to the PL as well as City, does not feature in the narrative.

The new narrative from Spitty and others is that City should publish their evidence. Er…..it doesn’t work like that, morons.

Wasn't it a uefa breach?

Yes but shouldn’t the premier league start their own investigation now like they did with us?

Firstly... Everton didn't co-operate.
Secondly, City have not admitted anything!

The PL are trying to do us for the same thing UEFA did... so surely it must follow that they will punish the Rags for failing FFP too?!

 

[KS55]

Very smart from Pep. The redshirts are now in a bind: press for City to be relegated and have only a couple of years until Pep returns to the prem to lead them another merry dance or lay off and hope that Pep moves on.
In that event,Etihad should agree to temporarily rename the Etihad “Pep Guardiola stadium” —they have benefitted from him as much as we have.

It’s not a private website, you don’t need an account to read BlueMoon, anyone in the world can read it!

Okay, not private but I'd say of little interest to most other people aside from City fans and the odd other clubs fans. I think you do need to be a member to post though.

The point I was trying to make is it's not a huge well known platform like Twitter, but a football site specifically about one club.

Remember when the blueflakes got all hot and bothered about him being splashed by a beer?
Rat wants us wiped off the face of the footballing map.

Along with the other idiots Mr Spitty and the twat that is Simon Jordan. Heard Jordan this morning , he is one jealous bitter bastard.

I miss reading Martin Samuel as he's the only decent journalist out there but he's now behind a paywall.

that times podcast posted on here is well worth listen even north couldnt argue back

Wonder when the media are going to start asking the EPL for evidence of our wrong doing?

Not the allegations, the actual evidence, the smoking gun which proves we are guilty.

Wonder why it's not been asked yet?

#Guilty until proven innocent

Confidential until Masters leaks them.

I agree with what you say but the stance the journalists (or so called journalists to be more precise) are taking just reinforces their ignorance and stupidity. It’s the Crown and not the defendant who sets the trial date… do they expect us to pitch up one morning and interrupt the PLs tea and crumpets and demand a hearing there and then. As you say the gutter press just want another excuse to beat us and justice, fairness and due process have no meaning to them. I wonder how they’d behave if they were wrongly accused of something… ?

I don't want it to happen, but Pep tearing up League One would be hilarious.

you've got to imagine that Parry, Gill et al would have leaked this long ago if there was concrete evidence… they’d also have called in the SFO and HMRC - so you’ve got to assume they haven’t got much if anything at all. That said I’m sure the rats in the media won’t let the facts get in the way of a good hanging so in the absence of fact they’ll do what they always do and make something up.
