PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

It's difficult to know where his allegiances lie.
I'm sure it's all tickets boo.
Talk about bias.
It doesn’t include his time as a security consultant for the Qatari regime in the run-up to their World Cup or his stint as a member of the UEFA investigatory panel investigating City’s alleged FFP breaches.
 
Sorry - I didn't realise it was you I was replying to. The point I was (somewhat longwindedly) trying to make was that we could still be found to have breached some of the 115 charges, but not acted fraudulently or in an attempt to mislead. So maybe acted within the letter of the law but not the spirit.
This is difficult for the PL to achieve because in the absence of something to break the statute of limitations (fraud or deliberate concealment) they can’t go after very historic things.
 
He works for a radio staion that's equivalent to the Sunday Sport... and so anything he spouts should be put into that context....''Half man half monkey found playing tennis on the moon" sort of stuff
So, let me get this right. Are you saying that a half man half monkey didn't play tennis on the moon?
 
Not remotely
There is plenty of evidence of them climbing over fences to get in, of genuine supporters unable to get in as someone else had used their ticket, thousands of printed fake tickets on social media before the game. There was a scrote dressed in a suit inside the stadium with a fake UEFA pass hanging round his neck, boasting how he’d got in etc. Meanwhile at the other end of the stadium the Real fans are all safely in their seats without any issues, wondering when the game is going to actually kick off? Why did Bingo tell them all to go even without tickets? Why did they insist on paper tickets? I was at the FA Cup semi final against them the other year, there was no space in the aisles in their end, they were crammed in. How did they all get in? They’ve got form for this.
 
I'm not up for exchanging essays. The PL have made the massive claim around sponsors (as UEFA did) and the case is primarily about that. The IC will take a dim view of the PL not being able to make out that claim which will infect the rest. Furthermore, the other matters are not even in play unless the PL can show a level of deliberate concealment to get round the statute of limitations. I think Fordham is generally very uninteresting and far too public (Companies House etc) to be prosecuted in 2024/25.

But obviously if only a tiny part of the claim is proved, the sanctions will be far less than if the sponsorship sham allegation is proved. Obviously.
Rag.
 
Reporting In from spending way too much time on social media defending our club.
Todays theme from R&D fans-
City had two of the three man panel at CAS and that’s why we had the verdict overturned.
I asked for evidence and the reply was “there’s a report on it”
Oh f@ck - guilty as charged then and don’t get me started on time barred.
