PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[OntarioBlue]

Good to see it’s leaking before it’s started.

If this timeline Is true, if the Premier League have a case and if City have “irrefutable evidence of our innocence” why is it taking so long to have a hearing ?

Whenever someone says to me 'It's not fair, City can spend whatever they like and it's ruining football' etc. I always say: 'It wasn't seen as quite an issue when your club/LFC/MUFC/Arsenal dominated football and could spend what they like so why is it an issue to you now?

There’s 2 issues that are deliberately conflated.

1) Should an owner be able to spend what they want.

2) Is it fair for some clubs to spend 20x more than others in the same division.

It is incredible how many people think it’s unfair for a club to spend their owners money, but can’t make the logical step towards it being unfair that Arsenal can spend 20x more than Burnley.

Because leaks aren't going to hurt us in the case, but they reflect badly on the PL, its processes and its professionalism. Much as they did with UEFA.

But ultimately irrelevant to the end result. The PL could be leaking everyday up to the tribunal and the only possible avenue for appeal would still be related to unsubstantiated conclusions by the board.

The amount of documented evidence that will need wading through.

 

[TinFoilHat]

Trial date and further punishment for Everton "leaked" on same day.

Did the rags fuck up yesterday?

what have they been doing in the months since the charges were announced ?

if City have “irrefutable evidence of our innocence” why is it taking so long to have a hearing ?

because all of the things Walter Mittys have been saying on Twitter, claimed to be ‘from sources at the club’ about how there was ‘no case to answer’, ‘its 95% closed already’, ‘club would never accept a settlement’ were made up bullshit.

Even if the club does have ‘irrefutable evidence’, they’d still snap your arm off for a hefty financial settlement to put it to bed once and for all.

No lawyer in the world is advising you to go to court unless you have no choice as it’s a crapshoot even with the best defence.

Sue them to death City

Not sure City could sue the pl because in effect you are suing yourself as you belong to the organisation you are suing !

There are thousands and thousands of documents to review and many people to interview.

Well vice versa same logic applies the other way round at least in theory but look where we are now?

It's likely to go like the Leipzig game.. first half PL lawyers tip the scales and looks like we're guilty. second half City comeback.

If we don't concede more goals that is!

But they're really mad at us.
The Rags are mad we have our own treble.
The Dips are mad we stole Istanbul from em.
Gooners are mad we haven't let em win last year.
Levy is mad we didn't pay for Kane like we did for Walker.

Now two more years of Guilty in the media for sure!

Wish we'd sue those 4 fuckers and the PL for damages!

Sue them to death City

Sue who for what?

Even in the absolute best case scenario that this is all a wild goose chase, trying to rehash the UEFA case, the fact still remains that City could’ve put this to bed at any time in the past 5 years, rather than clam up on legal advice and refuse to respond to the PL’s fishing trips.

No court in the world is going to rule jn your favour for something you could’ve actively prevented.

City haven't prevented anything , the enquiries have taken so long because their is so little for them to find

So, when did you discuss this with Khaldoon? Lucky you to be privy to such important information.

Because we showed them the 100 of thousands of documents that we are and that takes years! Bad enough Bias opposing fans thinking it should be all done a dusted because we show them this evidence on one piece of a paper!?

They want to look at every document because those kunts wants to find something! Utter kunts those red shirts clubs plea Levy the kunt
