PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[kismet]

Something about the Stockport Pyramid I believe

Who's bought it......

It definitely appears that Scruffy Jim is trying to build bridges with City……

I’d prefer them to go & fuck themselves.

If he builds a bridge we will find a fictional far eastern tyre company sponsor and put a fictional logo on it and collect ourselves a fictional 10M per season.

 

[hello]

we know there’s always leagues where there shouldn’t be, the teats can’t stop their own roof from leaking so why would an ic be any different. There’s probably 20-40 people in each session.
Once convened I would expect one if the first things the panel did was match to modified charge list to cas verdict. Any KC is going to want something cast iron to overrule the highest court when the charges are identical. They would then review the claimant’s evidence & turn the

would rather they jump off bridges than build them personally.

Scruffy Jim may be looking to play at the Etihad while Old Trafford is rebuilt?

Their only other options will be Liverpool (best of luck there?) or Everton (more plausible). That is unless they make the logical move and use Wembley!

I think it’s more.

Remember Khaldoon saying ffs protect your brand about premier league clubs jumping on us. City went on a fact finding mission to Barca, it’s normal in business & Scruffy Jim will want to know all about the development of the academy, surrounding area, relationship with the council.

Maybe they’ll throw Spurs under a bus with the prem league and break bread.

Whilst there have been a few encouraging noises recently, it’s far too premature to talk about charges being dropped, a PL climb down etc imo. There’s still a long way to go in the process, and I doubt we’ll hear anything concrete for months, possibly even until next year.

Boooo

Have the usual culprits in the Rag loving, City hating football media picked up on this yet, or are frantically contacting their City and Rag sources to find out if there is any truth in this rumour?

The rumour about the end being nigh for Bamberbridgeblue?

I'd trust Ric over them tbh.

Poor Dicky Disasters, his dream job is turning into a nightmare. His probs in bed now with his Aston Villa jimjams on, reading the John Stonehouse biography and thinking "oh mummy, if only I stayed in my middle management Marketing role and not listened to that little twat Levy"....As well as his little City dilemma, it looks like a HUGE problem is waiting his executive excellence. It seems Everton and 777 partners are now in some kind of deadly embrace, where Everton could go wallop without 777 and 777 could go wallop without approval of the EFC purchase by Dickie. However 777 are in BIG trouble, they have just sacked the CFO, if the content in here is accurate it's looking like an absolute shit show. How could this happen in a league that is overflowing with money .....

Everton or bust? - josimarfootball.com

A new document reveals who exactly is behind attempts by 777 Partners to acquire Everton, and just how badly the Miami investment firm needs Premier League approval for the deal.

Whatabout Citeh…….

It’s good to see Omar’s replacement is working well.

Doubt they’d pick Merseyside. The reebok will be the most viable option.

 

[Keeper!]

I’ve a vague memory of Dave Whelan - when at Wigan - coming out and saying he was surprised just how much City had rattled/angered certain clubs and that effectively they were out to get us !

 

[Oldham Exile]

Had the biggest budget,extra time if required, had Webb,Riley,Clattenberg and the fraternity in his pocket.All the adulation from his global sheep but he couldn't win with grace, it wasn't enough, he had to rub everyone's noses in it, particularly City with the banner despite the Dippers being their REAL rivals yet I can't remember ever seeing a 30 year ticking banner about this before 2020.
Hope we do a double treble and he lives to see it!

Thank fuck for Rock of Gibraltar

 

[Coatigan]

I thought we started singing under Bobby manc the year we won the fa cup?
I remember hearing it at Leicester away.

And given that happened in our second year of existence, we can't possibly have sung it before.

 

[Coatigan]

We all witnessed after CAS found no evidence to substantiate any charges that our failure to cooperate fully still rendered us cheats and still does to this day.

There is no fucking way that City will be accepting a failure to cooperate charge this time.

Don't really think it is a matter of choice.

So, I'm not gonna get to go to York away... again :(

A huge amount of fans say “you must be guilty because you got fined”. Explaining what we got fined for makes no odds and ive given up explaining these days

 

[Prestwich_Blue]

Out of interest… what is it about Tolmie that makes people excited about what he is saying? Does he work at city or something?

It's Khaldoon's username. Well, one of them.

The fact it’s a stick Jordan uses to beat us with regularly says it all really.

 

[Centurions]

I would love to believe @tolmie's hairdoo but don’t see how people are privy to such information.

Best case scenario charges being dropped?

Really? Are you newly born and haven't met many people yet?

;)

I have a red pal, very good job, intelligent bloke.
He came out with the same old shit, “you must be guilty because u got fined”. I explained that the fine was for non cooperation with uefa as they were leaking info and that we preferred to go straight to CAS so knew we would incur the fine”.

He went quiet … looked at me for 10 seconds and jusr replied , “bollocks”.

Ive had other people, again seemingly sensible people, say we must have bribed CAS. I mean … fuck me … they think we turned up at CAS with a suitcase of money.

So thats what we are up against. I think the whole thing has been a total smear campaign and the red shirts werent arsed if we are found guilty or not, its job already done

 

[SilverFox2]

Yeah and my reasoning would be that if we were fined for non-cooperation again, we might be happy with that settlement again as it concludes the process and it can be put to bed.

Our owners have invested in City for the long term which is not restricted to the UK media.

As fans we are disadvantaged in that we want and expect fair reporting after decades of being also rans.

Our owners are simply hoovering up more and more of available prize money etc and gaining massive global appeal demonstrating to the history clubs that our business plan works better when investment is used properly.

In other words it is the now short term that our enemies have to change if they want to compete financially or even exist as a majority in the PL.
