PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[OB1]

I think for a lot of Blues it’s taken some of the shine off our incredible achievements.

Has it? Not for me and no Blue that I know has ever indicated that.

It's been wank hearing cunts like spitty and rat boy being able to bring '115' into anything they say about us.

Can anyone explain why we didn't co-operate if we haven't done anything wrong ? always wondered this

tbh I try to ignore it and I'm not looking for or expecting acknowledgement /praise from the Sky fuckwits as I know it will never happen.

The clubs who have pushed their puppet into this position are the ones who really deserve to suffer, but again I don't expect that to happen either. Their reputations won't be tainted because of their jealousy, even though they have missed out on the prizes which our success has brought.

Even if totally exonerated I do not expect the vitriol to cease , although it may lessen slightly, but the " injured redshirt/ spurs " owners will no doubt find and seek fresh ways of demeaning the findings ( if proved in our favour)

City supporters need to enjoy the team and their achievements and try and shut out the jealous and bitter cunts who want to see us ruined and in tatters.

Our success hurts them more .

 

[Plain Speaking]

I thought the club said no letters were sent out

Stefan consulted the club and confirmed on his Talksport interview that a letter had not been sent to Goldbridge, who was lying and said he had received one. As far as I know TH has only confirmed one has been sent to Teabag, any other recipients are unknown.

Tolmie gets far more correct than not........and even when his information doesn't come to fruition it's usually because circumstances have changed or players have changed their minds about a transfer etc.

He has definitely had a snippet from a connected source.

Maybe, but he does get some pretty big things wrong. Or the people that tell him this info do. Everything has to be taken with a pinch of salt imo.

This disgusting article by that twat Syed is in today’s Times.
Basically suggesting City cheat at everything.
Read and be appalled.

Cos this is the footballing equivalent of ‘A Game Of Thrones’ and every ****’s Littlefinger

Stefan either on here or on twitter posted something a while ago which has stuck with me. It was words to the effect of that during cases of extremely complex litigation, both opposing parties can be 100% confident in their position but ultimately one of them will lose when it comes to the verdict.

Because there is a lack of trust.

Imagine you had beef with a company (OCP) that ran the police force because you didn’t get along with the executive chairman.

Now imagine the police came round to your house and demanded to search the property while you know you’ve done nothing wrong.

Imagine they then come out of the kitchen and started claiming the kettle you use is old enough to put your family and neighbours in mortal danger because the plug is a bit iffy.

If you start giving everyone free access, if someone really wants to find something, no matter the company, they will. It’s therefore better to take the pinch of not co-operating and let them produce any evidence they have themselves.

Exactly. Enjoy whatever ostensible good news that comes along, and this certainly qualifies, but be mindful that strategic games may be being played, false information may be being leaked for purposes we don’t know about, people may be being used, etc etc

Can be, not always are. I just don't see how the PL can expect to prove the charges.

No way. Not for me. I am enjoying winding our rivals up.

Its slowly dawned on me that our rivals will remember this period of dominance forever. They would NEVER acknowledge our achievements anyway, thats a given, we dont acknowledge Utds achievements. And if we're found innocent that will crush them even further. If we keep all the titles, trophies and points that will seal it. All they will be left with is the echo chamber of tribalist cheats accusations. They'll be conspiracy nuts.

Right now though I am going to enjoy it, we've won everything and our rivals hate that obviously, that they think we've cheated is the icing on the cake. But thats tribalism, who can hurt who the most.

The general public will just see the verdict.

What an utterly pathetic article, he’s a fucking prick.

Why, it hasn't for me, why do you care what rival fans think, I say with confidence vast majority of blues don't care.

It's the difference between an amicable and a hostile investigation. It's pretty clear this was seen as hostile, so the club only gives what it thinks it is required to, when it is required to.

 

[carlosthejackal]

He didn’t get it wrong. Letters DID go out.

I thought we had no concrete evidence one way or the other about the letters ?

Completely agree.

I know lots of people have been asked if City fans get bored of winning, or if a fourth title in a row isn't as exciting as the first ones.

For me, the 115 stuff is absolutely the icing on the cake, and has made each title feel even better than the last :)

 

[ayrshire_blue]

Can be, not always are. I just don't see how the PL can expect to prove the charges.

Over at PL HQ, are they equally as likely to be questioning how we at City can expect to see a way out of them?

If you were stop-and-searched by a passing copper every time you stepped out the door, you’d soon get pissed off.

City are a business with sensitive data about itself and partners who trust them with theirs. The PL don’t have the right to every little detail of the whole business, we had private data leaked during the UEFA affair which could only have come from them so City decided not to risk any more leaks with anyone else.
