PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

I am not so sure. My feeling is that the PL has to carry this through to the end. It would be organisational suicide not to. Even if Masters is removed, the PL will have to continue the process to its completion imho.

It's better (not by much in the current climate, granted) for the PL to fight and lose than to give up after a year of (effectively) tub-thumping.

It would be very easy statement to make, they can say enough to allow our detractors to continue saying we’re cheats while also saying they tried their best…

“The Premier League brought charges against Manchester City in relation to PSR regulations in December 2022 following an exhaustive fact-finding process.

“The Premier League stands by this decision, however it is now clear there is no realistic prospect of the process concluding with the charges being found proven, given the evidence and financial documentation available to the commission.

“The Premier League also recognises the negative impact this prolonged uncertainty is having on league itself, the wider football community and Manchester City.

“The Premier League has therefore chosen to discontinue all charges against Manchester City in this matter.”
 
ADQ has picked advisers including Citigroup Inc., HSBC Holdings Plc and First Abu Dhabi Bank for a potential initial public offering of hub carrier Etihad Airways PJSC, according to people familiar with the matter.

Rothschild & Co. is acting as an independent financial adviser to the Abu Dhabi wealth fund, the people said, asking not to be identified because the information isn’t public. ADQ may add more banks later, the people said.

As I said, organisational suicide.
Easy to write, difficult to swallow.

We can agree to disagree if you like :)

Least worst option I’d say.

This approach is probably organisational suicide but allowing the commission to find against the PL is guaranteed organisational suicide.

At least this way the PL is the one taking the decision and can in some pathetic way say “they tried”.
 
I asked the question. Don’t think it got a reply looking back. Do you know the reason or reasons why 1 of the 3 CAS Judges found City guilty? Was their reason/reasons ever stated in the judges final decisions? Thanks.

And when the IR comes into place future CEOs of the PL will NEVER again be invited to the swamp or Klanfield for special cartel vetting interviews. Future Chairmen of the PL will NEVER again be self proclaimed life long season ticket holding rags. The strategic transfer of execs from the cartel clubs into "rule" forming parts of UEFA and FIFA will be treated with micro scrutiny by the IR.

And when the IR is in place, the KC appointed by the PL with sole responsibility of appointing members of the Independent Commission will not be a self proclaimed, life long, season ticket holder of the Arses. In fact, that whole "independent" IC scam will probably be the first thing that flies out of window, quickly followed by Masters.

The IPO piece in the mail is way down the pecking order. Without even reading it, the fact it’s buried deep shows it ain’t good news for the red cartel and the media.

Hide any positive story. Anything negative goes and stays as top story.

It's not a Mail story. It was a Mirror exclusive last night and the Mail is just rehashing it (as do all of them these days).

We saw exactly that during the Bennel Victims v MCFC case. That snake of the BBC, Dan Roan, he could not wait to stand on Ashton Néw Road with the club badge in clear view for viewers of the main news bulletins. That was during the hearing. When the club actually won, they didn't even mention the outcome once on the BBC, not once. NEGATIVE CITY STORY GOOD, POSITIVE CITY STORY, DROP IT....

Didn't Khaldoon say he wanted it to go through the whole process to completely exonerate City, so the PL have no choice but to continue as Khaldoon is not accepting any deals. He says our evidence is irrefutable, so no KC could find the allegations proven if the evidence is what Khaldoon says it is. This recent news about Etihad has raised the temperature to gas mark 5 underneath the pan boiling the pxss. Masters, Parry, Gill, the boards of united, le arse,livarpool, spuds and the PL need to empty their bladders to keep it from drying out. They may even need top ups from red cafe, rawk ant the other two forums.
The days get better;-)

No surprise there. The BBC are fucking awful, especially Roan and Stone.

What happens if the pl drop the charges can City insist the case isnt dropped to prove how bent the pl is ?

Can you imagine the pl statement 'The pl didnt want to bring these charges but were blackmailed by the 3 red tops +1"
