PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

halfcenturyup said:
That's half the story, isn't it? The first hurdle the PL has to pass is presenting cogent evidence in support of the alleged breaches.

Then they have the second hurdle you explained: trying to make the case that executives of three or four companies are lying in the club's counter evidence.

Seems to me, simply put, that the PL is screwed in both ventures?

Assuming the evidence is the second tranche of emails that were released. We dont know what evidence was provided to them in response to that.

The charges are only relevant up to 2018. Edu hiding behind a pathetic excuse for his club failing again.

This magic hat fella must be pulling city rabbits out of his sneaky backside.

What about emails alleging wrongdoing I hear you cry? So what about them? Plenty of people in business suggest many things which under law can be deemed borderline.

FFP came in and no fucker understood what was and what wasn’t allowed at the best of times and that was before uefa kept changing the goal posts. A lot of those emails can easily be explained away and many don’t even match the version of ffp that we supposedly broke.

Then you have the players involved. Do you think anyone with half a fucking brain is actively touting rule breaking with khaldoon in charge? and the accounts to be scrutinised by an external company.

No because no one is that dedicated to their job as to risk jail unless it was the direct owner doing the dirt ie Mansour himself which is clearly not the case or his fingerprints would be all over those emails.

We have all worked with many people and they just don’t care enough to be involved in a mass conspiracy so city can win a cup or two.

The whole thing is fucking stupid and made up bollox. The defence rests…now pour me a vimto -:)

It's a shame this total tophat is getting such exposure on here, but thoroughly understandable at the same time. We're all seeking information about the case and then this asswipe appears. Seems his cover has been blown though. Hopefully he'll skulk off but I'm pretty sure he'll be back.

If i have been reading this correctly it seems this Magic hat or whatever he is called is an Arsenal fan who seems to think he has the inside track on whats going on.

Seems reasonable to assume its the PL lawyer KC Rossen :)

This is the guy who is heading up the IC not the PL lawyer.

Whilst I don’t know anything 100%, it would beyond ridiculous for someone who has reached KC, to do something like that on X for likes.

It is a journalist or it’s some kind of law student that has some inside track on one side (probably United fan given the name).

As has been already said, doesn’t mean what they have put on is not well researched or even quite convincing.

But you have only heard one side and I believe the next side will be more convincing.

We won't clear our name, we will be found guilty of something & even if it's not a major charge, it'll mean that the narrative of City cooking the books will continue

“Just because we couldn’t prove City were guilty of anything in court, doesn’t necessarily mean they are innocent, it just means we couldn’t prove it”
Every day till they put me in a secure ward in Rampton

Easy really, the PL will find us guilty for the 5(?) years of non cooperation and everyone will say we were hiding stuff and therefore guilty and so it will carry on.

Sadly - this will probably happen and City will have to go to war.
City should have gone to war years ago.
Let's hope the board doesn't regret their decision at the time - that was taken for the right reasons but the opposition is a Cartel and we aren't members and never will be or allowed to be.

Have we got any plausible explanation for the content of those emails though? Looks pretty blatant…

Context is everything, its confirmation bias if i go into an investigation assuming guilt then i will find something to back that assumption up, that is why harris, de looney and now this magic hat gain traction because they are telling people what they want to hear and what they are saying is telling people what they are desperate to hear framed in a moderately intellectual way and therefore people indulge their confirmation bias and fail to apply any level of rationale or critical thinking to it, couple this with the fact that the average redtop fan has the iq of a biscuit and you have the perfect audience for made up crap.

It's almost certainly Harris. I quickly checked the two timelines.

While you wouldn't hang someone on this evidence, Harris was at Wembley to watch his Southampton team on Sunday. He didn't post until about 11pm that night. Magic Twat's first post on the same day was around 10:40pm. Some coincidence.

The timing of this isn't a coincidence. My thoughts are that this has been put together by Magic Hat, and planned to be released in order to cause maximum damage to the club's image and reputation, following City's (expected) double.

That’s true, but there are some elements of those emails where it just seems really hard to conclude anything other than what is being alleged. I’m obviously hoping there’s a way of interpreting them in context that makes sense, but in that case why did we fight at CAS not to give the whole runs of emails as evidence ?
