PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

Invisible Man's Bandage said:
This is only speculation on my part but 'if' the PL are looking for a way out as they know that their case is unwinnable then maybe there would have to be negotiations between the PL & the club about our terms for that? Contrary to what a lot of posters want we aren't going to be suing them for colossal sums but we presumably would want a statement stating that there was no case to answer as a starting point. There could also be a demand for someone like Masters to fall on his sword for instance.

If the PL case is as weak as we hope then I can't see it going all the way to the IC issuing a judgement in early summer next year.

That's a good shout. I feel the negative media coverage has reduced since Christmas, at least in the larger outlets. They have been pushing the new narrative which is: "City are going to get away with it." It looks like some journalists are positioning themselves in advance of some sort of deal and the delay is because City are playing hardball. It's all speculation of course but some of it is informed speculation.

Parry & Gill are the 'ghost' agitators acting on behalf of the rags & dippers....both are cunning,duplicitous slimeballs.

There will come a point in time when their influence wanes and their thoughts on 'new conditions' run out.

A day of reckoning will come and our case may well be the tipping point.

One day scores of clubs will wake up to the fact that they haven't been led,but misled by the red cartel, and that the only chance they have of breaking through lies with abolishing restrictive practices and anti competition laws.

It astonishes me that so many fans of other PL clubs are so blind to what has been happening in plain sight.

Nothing wrong with this on the surface (it's part of his role) but it also shows just how incestuous these sort of high-level relationships are. A lot of them went to the same schools and universities. Make no mistake, people in the higher echeleons of the London-based media operate like a commercial mafia. MCFC are outside this tent and always have been. Arsenal, Spurs, MUFC, and LFC are inside the tent.

Many opposition fans are totally ignorant. I briefly spoke to a LFC fan last night until he dismissed Pep as a "chequebook manager." I pointed out that Pep had been pivotal at Barcelona in developing the careers of Messi, Pique, Puyol, Busquets,Xavi, Iniesta, and Pedro, all of whom cost nothing. Dani Alves cost just £20m. Then Pep created the greatest team in history. Messi has called Pep a genius who transformed his career. Puyol, Alves, Xavi, and Pique have described him as the greatest Manager of all time. Pep is the man (along with Cruyff before him) who built Barcelona. Pep was manager of the Barcelona B team before he got the top job. The level of ignorance with some opposition fans and moronic media pundits is staggering.

They have to be ignorant, its their comfort blanket, to not be ignorant would be to confront that they just arent as good as they believe they are.

It was a bizarre conversation in the pub with someone I don't know well. But I knew more about LFC's history and Jurgen Klopp than he did as a supposed LFC fan. He didn't even know who their next opponents were but he knew Pep "was a fraud." These people have been brainwashed.

That would involve having to think for themselves. Too many folk stressed or in a hurry these days so much easier to believe the orchestrated media smears.

Took a big punt moving up Sergio Busquets up from Barcelona B to Barcelona’s first team and bombed out the likes of Ronaldinho and Deco. He made some ballsy decisions in his early stages at Barcelona.

When the rags stopped letting Taggert spend what he wanted and made him make do towards the end of his time at the swamp they went to pieces. They got lucky with that last league title and Moyes had to inherit a squad that was completely shot. They’ve never recovered from it and had to spend a lot of money unsuccessfully failing to have a decent group of players ever since.

He is non-executive isn't he? I take your point but I am not sure we can criticise the input of non-executives bearing in mind who we have on the board .....
