PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[argyle]

I`ve been saying this for ages. When either City win or lose we need to get all the shit on these cunts and destroy them all financially.

The club won't be destroying them all financially.

Maybe some more prominant outlets could be sued but the liklihood is City doing things behind the scenes, showing organisations/individuals that we could sue them and hit them financially but would use that threat to stop the negative reporting on us.

Wheres the fun in that

The hearing may not have been held, but evidence disclosure between both parties will have long since taken place.

The crucial thing here is the courts prefer both sides to hammer out the parts they agree on so they can be removed from the pleadings. If both sides still can't reach a pre-hearing settlement, it's only then you attend court to argue the irreconcilable differences.

Now our hearing isn't a legal proceeding, but if the IC are Barristers, I assume they'll follow the accepted way disputes are conducted & resolved in law. It's done this way to save on court time & costs.

If a settlement can be reached prior to the court date & the burden of costs agreed, this generally suits everyone all round without the need for a costly, time-consuming hearing.

It's not beyond the realms of possibility that this is what's happened. Masters maybe a fuckin dick & patsy for the Red Top Mafia & Spuds, but I doubt he's that much of an arse as to come out in public & state:

"We can’t comment on the case, the date is set. The case will resolve itself at some point in the near future."

After being pressed on whether it would be “damaging” for City to be crowned champions of England for a second time since the matter was referred to an independent commission, Masters went on to say:

"It's not for football authorities to start selecting who they would like to win the league. The key point is that you’ve got that jeopardy until the final day. Who knows where we’ll be on May 19?"

It's my personal feeling that the IC has possibly let it be known that if this were in the Civil or Law Courts, the accusations would be thrown out considering the poor level of accusation evidence offered, & the irrefutable level of defence evidence offered.

Masters sounds like a man who just wanted a cushy job without all this bollocks, but who's now looking for an honourable way out without the PL losing face.

Too fuckin late dude. The Cartel Clubs allowed their utter hatred of City to get in the way of commonsense reality. This is their mess & it's up to them to get on their knees & clean it up.

They've accused City of mass fraud over an extended period of time in all but name & have fuck all provable evidence to back it up outside of their private members kangaroo court.

They've painted themselves into a corner, with no obvious way out. In this respect, the PL are no different to General Melchett in the case of Speckled Jim...

Reminds me of that great line in “Z”. When asked if the guilty verdict was a “miscarriage of justice, like the Dreyfus case” the colonel replied: “Dreyfus was guilty.”

Thanks for posting that snippet.

Here is the extract:

At Piaggio, where he climbed from the sales and marketing departments to became chief executive in 2009, Galassi became close friends with the future Manchester City chairman, Khaldoon Al Mubarak, who led Abu Dhabi’s investment in the aerospace company in 2006.

Al Mubarak appointed Galassi to the board of Man City as a non-executive director in 2012. Despite the team’s success on the pitch, the club has been charged with 115 breaches of financial fair play regulations. “I am not entitled to discuss this, but perhaps you can tell from my body language I am super confident [about the outcome],” he says.

Crack out the champagne blues. Once we are cleared I genuinely believe we will break the internet and any red **** still breathing will be looking for a hole to crawl into.

He may be super confident for no other reason than he trusts Khaldoon’s word.

Surely that would have happened months ago, if we actually had the irrefutable evidence we claim.

If this turns out to be true I will be embarrassed as anyone and I will personally apologise to Prestige. But I'm not going to start writing my apology letter yet.

Surely the PL has had the irrefutable evidence all along: a decade of audited accounts.

 

[KS55]

They have to go through ALL the accounting documents there ain't few a4 papers they can read to find out if we innocent or guilty and why it is taking ages!

I like the idea of a single line in the accounts being backed up by 10,000 documents. ‘Here you go, lads: evidence.’ Tee hee.

 

[KS55]

Not a chance of a settlement. IMO.
If the premier league has fucked up then it's for them to take the hit. I just don't see us softening the blow for them.
It's their baby and they should put it to bed.

Providing the wording of any PL statement is unequivocal, I think Koolhand will let it go. He is subtle, smart and a businessman with no time for playing games. Above all he is a gent, thus:
“We accept entirely what the PL say and thank them for their dedication to the truth. I would just like to add that the US owned redshirts and their lackey Trottingham are the biggest shits it has ever been my misfortune to come across.”

"During the 2019/2020 season Premier League football contributed £7.6bn to the UK economy. In the same season the Premier League and its clubs generated a total tax contribution of £3.6bn to the UK Exchequer, ………"

….of which none was paid by those offshore companies MUFC and LFC

Don’t do this to us Tolm, you’re getting me excited.

Anyone that crosses Mansour or Khaldoon should regret it, they’ve had enough leeway in their assault against City. We’ve all wanted City to fight back, some said we won’t, but I beg this information is true. I’m sick of the slander against this club.

 

[Gone for a Burton]

Let them keep digging their own graves. Then we finish them in one fell swoop. Its not exactly had any impact on us has it.

Image & reputational damage.....millions have been brain washed into believing that City are cheats.

It'll take years,if ever, to eradicate the 'stain'.

I hope that City extract every grain of revenge in what ever form is appropriate against all & any who have traduced our reputation !!

Revenge is a dish served cold....very cold.

Manchester is waiting Sheikh Mansour !!

I raised the question in February about the IC reviewing initial submissions before the formal hearing and the possibility that the IC could deem the evidence weak meaning the case could close out earlier, but I think the response I got was the case would go the full distance. If the complainant is told by the IC that their evidence is weak or non existent early on there can only be one outcome. The case closes earlier or there is some sort of settlement with City holding most of the cards. Hopefully this is where things are now.

Is the IC being paid by the hour?

No wonder Jordan has been backtracking the last week or so

Too late for Jordan, he has let his mouth cost him big time.

City probably don't want to do this - but they have no alternative. They know that any exoneration or wrist slap, will bring the usual pond slimes out with the "gotaway", "expensive lawyers", "bought off" jibes - as we've had since cas cleared us.
Would be lovely to see Mrs Malaprop, Jordan in court.

I feel Jordan has always consciously (barely) stayed the right side of the line. I would say saying he thinks ‘there is a case to answer’ isn’t in quite the same place as ‘the accounts don’t add up‘ (Carragher).

as the quote says, when you come for the king you best not miss and these fuckers brought a water pistol to a war.

i think jordan thought talksport would protect him and is just now realising that a pathetic little radio station who employs youtubers and washed up pros who cant get a decent job doesnt have the clout he thought it did.
