PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

I love Rawk for its comedy output. All bemoaning City lawyers trying to hush the red cartel journalists with legal writs etc liking it to the despotic regimes in the middle east denying free speech. Such a lack of self awareness from a fan group who hounded a journalist out of his job for daring to question the behaviour of Liverpool fans

All for free speech, as long as they can dictate what is said. A bit like any dictatorship in history.

Free speech is fine, as long as it's not a chant, And if it is a chant, we will put our own definition of what that chant means, and then lobby the authorities to make it illegal.

It does when you’re quantifying how much compensation the dippers needed to pay. They clearly were guilty as they paid Compo. So why £1m as opposed to £1 or £100m?

I guess it's nonimal enough to be accepted as a total quantity, but significant enough if we ever need to utilise the payment as evidence for sokething else.

It does not matter if the damage was little, The crime itself was done to benefit Liverpool FC,
Why does Liverpool always dodge the bullet, Manchester City should have taken them to the cleaners, Because if the shoe was on the other foot mark my words Manchester City would be Punished heavily and even relegation would have fitted the crime

City probably kept it low key like a lot of other stuff in the belief it would soften the red cartels attitude towards us and make for a better, more harmonious future. They learned to their cost that you never trust vermin, you destroy them.

Some genius on there wants themselves, United and Arsenal to walk away from the PL and rejoin the EFL if we don’t get punished. At least there’s some common ground that we can all agree on now.

I’m sure league 2 grounds would welcome them,and the well financial restraints lol

Having spent a depressing amount of my life in board meetings, as I suspect is the same for you HCU, at best they’re getting a 5 minute rundown from Cliff for the CFG combined to make more time for something from the Waitrose finest collection.

I’d be shocked if the NED’s know anymore about the case than most people on here do as ultimately it’s not relevant for them.

Maybe it depends on the sort of board meetings you were in, but I always enjoyed attending them, tbh. Or maybe it was because I was just a scrote from Droylsden who, due to a large amount of luck and a small degree of hard work (but only when necessary) ended up in the board meetings of multi-billion euro companies in three languages, all over the world. Never a dull moment for me (well, hardly).

Life story aside, my point really is this: it is the directors who are responsible for preparing financial statements in accordance with applicable laws and regulations. Or put it anther way, the directors are at risk of going to jail should they have filed fraudulent accounts. I am pretty sure they will be well briefed on the allegations and the progress with the disciplinary panel.

But did you get a waitrose sandwich…….

It’s frightening the level they think City’s board operate on.

No, if you want to follow City you need at least some form of paralegal qualification.

I'm a legal thicko, can somebody tell me who (after all the evidence) decides if were guilty or not. I mean is there a panel, a jury, an impartial judge, what and who ?

I'll give it a go.

The PL has a Judicial Panel, chaired by a KC, Murray Rosen (the Arsenal season ticket holder!), made up of lawyers, accountants, judges, auditors, insolvency practitioners and the like. The Chairman chooses three from the Judicial Panel to hear disciplinary cases (including or not including himself). The three of them hear the evidence from the PL and the counter-evidence from the club and then come to a conclusion and Bob is (should be) your uncle.

Choosing the three members of the disciplinary panel happens pretty quickly after the allegations are referred by the PL to the chairman of the Judicial Panel, so it is safe to assume that has been done.

But that is all we know at the moment. We don't know who the three Disciplinary Panel members are, or where they are in their process. Hence all the rumours and guesswork :)

Hope that helps.

Goldbridge or whatever his name is, is such an egotistical **** that i don't doubt for one second he'd imply hes important enough to have received a letter when in reality the club don't care about the likes of him. He's a character playing a part, no different to borat or keith lemon.

I agree with this. He'd get notoriety amongst his knuckledragging followers for suggesting that he'd been contacted by a legal source representing City. He's full of shit imo.

I don't get how he's got the amount of followers that he has. He's a dull as dishwater and clearly as fake as they come.

He's the kind of know nothing prat that you really detest being on shift with at work or seeing in the pub.

It's obvious he pretends to hate City and love Utd. The fucking no mark.

Knob head . I remember him on talk shite saying that he knew City were getting a three year ban from European competition and me thinking Liverpool only got a 5 year ban for Heysel how is that fair. The man is a know nothing fool.

Anyone any idea what tolmie is alluding to in his latest?
Someone already trying to test them?
A fake out to trace a leak?
Interesting regardless.

Wonder if city will sell the right to this saga to Netflix. Would love to see it!

115 or nothing.

Edit: Now I think about it, it's a shame there aren't 411 alleged rule breaches.

"411 or nothing" has a nice ring to it ....

We shall see, hopefully soon.

Keys did not go a week without talking about 115 charges, so much so he posted an entire article, he and the supporting cast would always go on about integrity of the league and how Masters needs to sort this quick. Not a word since February however. Just football, strictly.

What is wrong with that man? He is the last person who should be taking about integrity.

The case you refer to is a stain on Reach that can never be erased. Showed them up to be so partisan.

The success of City and CFG should put people on notice that both directors and execs are pretty good, but so many just can’t/won‘t see it. Compare and contrast the PL.
You can take our success as a mark of good management or corruption, if you are a click bait journo.

I see both points of view but his clients / employers don’t care about him only the nonsense he spouts otherwise they’d have stepped in to help.

He’s been an absolute **** towards City but he believes it. I hold people like Parry & Gill & their stooges with more contempt cos they must know the truth but still do it.

I don’t worry but it would be nice for him to find his way out of the rabbit hole.

Hmmm, I know it's fashionable to be Dr Anthony Clare these days, especially when someone has suffered a loss and will not listen to any reasoning.
But life throws a lot of shit (and good) at all of us. Sometimes people are just tw#ts because they choose to be and it suits them to be. He hitched himself to the anti-City stance long ago. His choice.

I do think the Jordan reversal is hyper suggestive, and the silence from other sources is strange, but it would not surprise me if Goldbridge was upset because he did not get one.

Can someone bring me up to speed on what Simon Jordan has said? I’ve seen the gold bridge video
