PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[cheekybids]

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.

No idea who Dr Clare is but I just explained I have a bit more sympathy for a mad **** than a conniving ****.

Not much ;) but I’d rather see the likes of Parry get their comeuppance than this fool.

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.

Strange isn't for a club that has fought to clear its name over decades that its happy for another innocent club to be found guilty.

It’s almost as though they abandon their principles in favour of self interest

Sounds like the tories

Scouse being compared to the tories, that's some irony ;)

According to my sources it was the butler in the library.

Is the budgie pregnant or is it the housemaid ??

 

[Centurions]

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!

These damn threads are moving too fast to keep up, what has he said?

And help.
someone close to him, family,friends and colleagues will hopefully see that he needs help

That's half the problem when you go a period behaving like a c*nt...

Fixed that for ya...

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.

Sounds nice and, erm, 'independent' to me...

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.

Last time I was in, Jordan told me he is writing a book on FFP and that his view has "evolved" over time. I don't think it is anything to do with letters. And to be honest had they had a letter, I suspect they would have told me because it would have been relevant to know ("if we get on to City please be careful" or whatever). Either way, Jordan's change of position is not brand new.

But did you get a waitrose sandwich…….

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

I had a waitress sandwich in Tokyo, but that is a different story ......

When were you last on?

He has issues, needs help.
Don't think his opinion of us will change in the future, if he breaks the law of the land, that's his problem to deal with.

 

[gordondaviesmoustache]

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.

Liverpool were subject to a six year ban for Heysel.

I don’t think any one has actually posted it, sorry!

 

[Blue Feather]

Like Marvin Gaye and most others, I don't know what's going on but I get the feeling that there's lots of positives for us behind the scenes, presumably showing up the 'charges' for what they are. Either way, lovely to see goldbridge squirming like a **** and that is totally genuine, his body language is there for all to see. Come on City, nail these fuckers once and for all

Interesting. I assume he would want them relegated a division every time they won promotion.

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’ve said this before and I’ll say it again. Liverpool weren’t a rival on the pitch at the time and City settling for £1m was perhaps because we didn’t perceive them to be a big threat. They finished something like 8th in 2012/13, whereas we finished 2nd. If it had been United employees who had done it, we’d have kicked up a lot more of a stink about it IMO. It was a serious miscalculation on City’s part as the very next season Liverpool went toe-to-toe with us for the title and have subsequently tried to ruin us in other ways.

I know what you mean, but this from @Chris in London 's excellent 115 charges thread:
