PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

So - those who understand all this - are we feeling a bit negative about the outcome now? it seems a bit glum on here??
 
Good luck to the Premier league trying to prove that sponsorships and transfer fees are not fair value!! I mean how can you tell someone they should be paying more while working within their means!!!

Just as confident as I was last February.

I couldn't see why they made the allegations they made then, and I still can't see it now. And I still can't see how they will have the evidence to prove their allegations even if the club did what (we think) is alleged, which I can't imagine they did anyway .....

Chin up!

They can get 14 votes to change the crazy rules they allowed to be set up, then that's up to them. I'd love our club to vote with them, but now the drawbridge is up, it's not our job to dig them out of the shit they happily dropped on us.

They won’t get 14 clubs to change it though. The red teams plus the established Premier League teams that would prefer not to invest or worry about teams behind them getting major investment mean that any ‘rebel’ vote would never get to 14.

Yes, I understand all that but I'm trying to frame my response in terms of the original post.

I have posted something similar before, not specifically aimed at you, rather for general education. All blues need amunition, especially when the current verdict is announced. For example: what charges? We are in a civil dispute with the PL. There are no charges. Confuses the hell out of red top fans.

Yup. They need a smoking gun or they have zilch. I’m sure we are clean but i have some doubts about the panel’s skill and bona fides. Maybe just me. City are innocent ok.

Putting Harris to one side (and hoping he stays there), are you really suggesting that being a senior politician makes it unlikely you're corrupt? It's not like our own Government have a wonderful record of truth and high standards of morality.

I am fairly confident about the charges, and I have no idea about the integrity of our owners, but I can't buy the argument that powerful men are above corruption.

Against that Khaldoon has a worldwide reputation especially in US. I can’t see him risking that by signing false accounts.
 
Crikey. Not been on this thread for a while and was confronted with about 50 pages to catch up, most of it about fucking Harris. See he can mess me about without lifting a finger.

It's not specific - but it does make me smile that we regularly see the argument that rich, powerful men don't break the rules. Even people with reputations :)

As the beautiful Olivia sang,
"Your the one that I want"
Well specky 4 eyes Nick is singing it to you, ignore him, its a honey trap;-)
 
They know they have fuck all on City, they are now trying to bring in rules, that they wanted then but did nothing about.

Spot-on. The PL themselves have never used the phrase "charges." The media keep using it to make it sound like a criminal prosecution. It is really a total distortion of what has happened. We have been accused of breaching the internal rules of an organisation no more and no less.

It’s also the Bayern way. Apart from a one-off turn up this season it’s made that into pretty much a one team league

And teams like Leverkusen don’t mount sustained challenges - their manager and best players will move to other clubs at the end of the season. A bit like when Leicester won the league - most of their better players moved to bigger clubs and they never competed for the title again.
