PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

Yeah, you're probably right. I don't have an issue with UEFA and the PL asking questions when Der Spiegel published the e-mails but it should never have resulted in a full-on investigation.

I do wonder at what point the doctored email was added. They had to manufacture the smoking gun and did DS a. not see it. b. Ordered it or c. was it Uefa?
If CAS spotted this, why was the source of the doctored email revealed? (rhetorical question)

I presume it's in the investigation into the leaks ;-)

As bent as UEFA are, I'd be astonished if they had anything to do with it. My money is on Der Spiegel in an attempt to make more of a story out of it.

Just had a crazy thought on this. Is it possible that they were trying to get us to take them to court so that we'd have to produce the full e-mail trail to prove it was a forged document in the hope of providing more evidence against us?

Not really something I'd ever considered but I suppose it is a possibility. My own opinion is that Der Spiegel were simply embellishing something to make it look like a far bigger story/scandal than it actually was.
 
Interesting to note that Arsene Wenger - a man who was hugely critical of our spending while he was Arsenal manager and coined the phrase financial doping - is much more positive about our club these days, no doubt because he's no longer having to toe the party line at Arsenal:

Whichever. I can't see it happening.

I can't see the club having a "we don't like you, fuck off" approach, although if it's good enough for the Pope it's good enough for us. Like it or not, the owner has too much class.

But there are two operational reasons why they shouldn't that have been brought up here: first, the doubling of nuisance to local residents, and, second, the playing of competitive games twice a week for pretty much the whole season. We can't play our style of football on anything other than a perfect pitch.

So, fuck them :)

When he was at FIFA he slated FFP as a mechanism to preserve the G14 status quo.
