PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[Pingu the Penguin]

Two differing 'ITK' snippets today with both referencing mid June but with entirely different info.

Tolmie tweeted earlier today that we would know when the hearing will be by mid June and your guy saying we will know the outcome on June 17th. FWIW I think Tolmies info seems more credible as surely the hearing would need to be done and dusted you'd expect for a judgement to be handed down in June.

….assuming there IS a hearing

 

[Stoned Rose]

A decision this autumn that will most likely be guilty of at least some followed by another lengthy period before we get it overturned. The bs won’t end for a long time

“Most likely” - go on then how do you know?

 

[eyalluvitt]

At least that gives us two weeks to celebrate the double treble.

If it's a guilty verdict we will appeal anyway and drag it on for a few more years, remember the feeding frenzy when we got a two-year European ban, we appealed and after an independent review it was thrown out and we got a nominal fine for non-cooperation.

I know nothing but the independent commission doesn’t look very independent and wouldn’t be surprised to see it go same way as uefa with an incorrect judgement we have to appeal

 

[Decepticon]

He doesn't and we'll be cleared by then.

Who’s on the independent commission?

Go on big Steve ......

Your hurt ya a Man Utd fan and upset because City slap you up every week

Make it into banner

Shouldn't be left up to City fans to defend the club in public.

The club just allows lie's to perpetuate for some reason.

The club need to reach out to be people like Neville behind the scenes to educate them on what the charges are, why our revenue is so high, etc.

Also, anyone expecting the club to retaliate or do any retribution after the decision has been made will be disappointed.

 

[argyle]

That mindset is a product of the reputational damage that the PL and media have inflicted upon City. No logic of 'innocent until proven guilty' has been applied to our situation, to many the official outcome is now irrelevant.

Obviously I sincerely hope we're cleared, but I also hope the response from City is significant in terms of compensation sought for the damage done to the reputation of the club.

There are no grounds for legal action or compensation by City.

The league will just say they are following procedure.

Carrragher and Neville should have been pulled up

Carragher is saying its impossible for City to higher commercial revenues then Real Madrid...OK
Steve pulls Neville on Salford ...Neville claims they have no related sponsors but have the highest commercial revenue in league 2 despite having one of the lowest league attendences in league 2
How is that possible??? if its not possible for City how is it possible for Salford?

 

[burning blue soul]

Throw a sickie.

Throw a 'healthy', more like :)

 

[HelloCity]

Bloke on Facebook (Young Goves) Darren Hill says Monday 17th June we will know the result of the 115 charges,he also says he was the first to announce when Pep was to become our manager and also Peps contract extension.Could be bullshit who knows.

Who? Haha

PL prize money and TV rights dwarf La Liga's (why Tebas the Francoist hates us) Add to that we are outstripping them in the U.S now and there's really no surprise after 5 leagues , and C.L finals and semis, not to mention umpteen other trophies. Our prize money has been off the scale in recent years which inevitably leads to increased sponsorship income
La Liga gets a lot of it's revenue from South America. That market has very little clout in terms of overall revenue compared to U.S/UK/Europe. For example here in Thailand you can get a season TV pass for your team for a tenner. These types of global TV deals are a drop in the ocean.
Carragher either doesn't want to understand or has no comprehension of this dynamic. R.M may have significantly higher fan bases but the markets in which they are strong are not as competitive in terms of overall value

I know. It's bullshit.

Firstly, because he knows nothing other than, maybe, the date of a hearing like others have been talking about recently.

Secondly, because even if he knows the date of a hearing, he knows nothing about how long the deliberations will be, or the time taken to document them. These people don't schedule a date and work towards it, it will take as long as it takes.

Thirdly, if he gets info from a contact at City about Guardiola, nobody at City will know how long those things will take either, even if the hearings have already taken place which, afaik, they haven't yet.

On the other hand, a quick decision is in our favour, so I will believe it :D

 

[halfcenturyup]

I watched a good part of that. Gave up as no disrespect to whoever the guy is fighting our corner from the pile on, I wish it had been somebody more articulate doing so.

What is pretty poor about this tv show though is, it's hosted by two of Sky's main commentators on our games. Their bias here, (not that it's ever really been in doubt) is clear to see. Anybody here, and I've seen many over recent years who claim Neville is a 'decent' pundit are simply blind.

Fcuk the pair of them.

It's impossible to argue a good case on such a complicated topic in that environment and the producers know that. They don't want intelligent debate, if they did they would have better informed peesenters and a less intimidating format, they just want sound bites. Jerry Springer? Exactly what they want. It's just Talkskyte. Avoid it.

The subject matter in relation to City isn’t that complicated, not at least in terms of the current status of the charges. Ask anyone to particularise the charges, and what we’ve specifically been accused of doing, and they cannot.

From that point it’s a fairly straightforward argument, even for a dilettante such as myself…

 

[gordondaviesmoustache]

I think these charges are affecting our UK growth and that matters.

That is their purpose. The punishment is the charges.

He's disappeared mate. Once you sus out it's bullshit they clam up.

The first time ever the Rags have voted on an opposing side of Arsenal, Liverpool & Spurs.

Voting against money for the efl and then begging for money from the public purse to rebuild the swamp wouldn't be the best move for them.

 

[Dribble]

It would of been ace to have an 80k and to cover all price points for all fans mate . event revenue would of been sizeable too! Not sure if oakview would have been as interested in building the co op arena though.

They're specialist venture capitalists, so if a case can be made with a decent return on investment, I don't see why they wouldn't jump at the chance.

To me, the 80000 seater option always meant 40000 season card holders, with 40k seats for sale, & 25000 of those seats being affordable.

 

[Rochdale Blue]

They don’t want to vote in a way that annoys the government while they’re pursuing funding for rebuilding the Swamp

Just posted a similar view before I saw your post.
