PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[GLBlue1995]

If I recall right -- and I'm kind of an idiot for following him on Twitter/X -- Harris recently lost his job. There's nothing to be gained by the Club bringing suit. Can't get blood from a stone; and you can't undo all he's said and done to damage the reputation of the club. Better to ignore him and win the battle with the PL. Probably good advice for all of us, because he's not going to engage any City fan in good faith.

Now when he's slandering the PL when City wins (something he set the stage for in today's rant), the PL might go after him, which would be kind of delicious, no?

It’s funny on RAWK. They’re praising Harris and his continued obsession to see us ruined. Hes like some god-like hero to them, infact if the worst happened I envisage a statue outside murderfield.

Someone on there has also predicted a 40 point deduction, and then, through sheer paranoia, says it won’t be dished out until a season is deemed where we wouldn’t win the PL anyway, so it looks like we’ve been punished but everyone saves face.

What a fucking weird bunch of people they are on there.

I wonder what the other bitter, twisted, deluded scouse cuntmeister Tony Evans has been saying about us and the alleged charges? I bet his bile duct has exploded with all the bilious hate he has perennially spewed chatting and writing shit about us.

Another victimised scouse journalist (I use that description very loosely) whose piss we have been boiling for over a decade now.

Youve mixed up voting whether to implement a scheme with agreeing to obey whatever was decided. We voted against the last proposal but we take part anyway.

Right.

A lot of this media shit is down to our own media team and letting them write whatever they like,
it started from day one and some really dirty stuff has been written and published about Manchester City; we just sat back and did nothing and let them get away with it repeatedly.

Now it's unstoppable and far too late to start rapping knuckles and banning orders on media outlets or slimy reporters the Job is done and the damage will stick even if we are innocent,

Why next week ?

Given it was the Telegraph who originated this rumour, you'd have to ask them.

 

[citizen_maine]

Earth to Jay: they called us cheats anyway.

Enjoy their jealousy, it means we're winning.

Cheats coz we're winning.
We must be cheats coz we're winning.

Couldn't agree more its should of been dealt with years ago the scum media have had a free hand at saying whatever they want, I wish the club had stud up for themselves and us fans.

If the PL had half a brain among their cabal they'd start putting some of the charges in the bin as we move towards next Fall so that by the time the hearings take place a loss for them won't be on such a massive scale. Save themselves the embarrassment. It's bad enough they've accused a member of the UAE royal family of being an enormous liar. fraud, and cheat on a monumental scale, but imagine this panel having the balls to confirm this on the sketchiest of evidence. The fallout would be insane. Hard for me to see this going in any way other than in one direction. But we shall see...

Autumn.

I have to take issue with your statement that


UEFA's version of the rules has never been the subject of a vote. UEFA does not operate like that. The ECA was "consulted" and expressed its satisfaction with them, though I believe this was expressed by Rumenigge and Co rather than by a democratic process. When the PL considered the introduction of such rules a vote did take place but our club voted against them. So we never agreed to abide by them, and even if we had we most certainly can challenge them now. All that is required is a claim to a UK court by Forest or Everton that their business is to be damaged by a PL independent commission applying rules which are in conflict with UK law. The regulations would then be tested in court and the ruling would be binding.

When I said "we agreed" I meant that by participating in the competitions we accept the rules associated with said competitions not the we voted in favour of such rules, that would be advocating said rules.
Yes of course your right we could challenge them now and at any point in the future my assertion that we can't was challenging them to retrospectively have the charges removed.

I'm not a watcher of podcasts but this one featuring @projectriver might be interesting for those that do like them.

FF to minute 43 if you’re only interested in City’s case. However, I think you’ll do yourself a disservice by skipping those first 43 minutes if you have actual interest in FFP/PSR as it relates to Everton, Forest and even Chelsea.

Thanks for sharing, IMB.

Even by his standards that’s pretty stunning, mainly because (most) of his tweets have deliberately just about stayed on the right side of the law to avoid litigation.

This is different and surely requires the immediate attention of our legal team??

His recent ramblings are so obviously a regurgitation of the Der Spiegel articles. As if anyone at the club would give him inside info! There is literally zero insight into anything he has ever written about us.

You think we're guilty?

Everton fans are quoting Givemesport articles now and taking it as gospel

Autumn.

Pleased to meet you...

 

[teddykgb]

I’m consistently shocked at the number of Everton fans who lament that the process was corrupt and the goal posts moved on them who are also demanding that City be punished

 

[eyalluvitt]

Believe it or not that was more or less my explanation to some Scousers at work today, all I got back was “brown envelopes” but they couldn’t explain why these same envelopes didn’t stop the PL taking the action they have. The mask has really slipped with some of the Scousers I know both blue and red.

Do you work in a Prison?

Same phrase I get every day in my office in Dipperpool.

I had quite a bit of sympathy for the Everton fans at the beginning of this saga but the whining and the finger pointing that’s come in my direction, even today during a management meeting at work, means I hope they go down, stay there and rot… I also asked for it to be put in the minutes!
