Possibly but that’s another question. City could settle and state they do not accept they are guilty of anything.It is in the eyes of our accusers.
Think that ship has long sailed whatever the outcome.It is in the eyes of our accusers.
Why do some people think that the whole period up to 2024 is being investigated rather than 2009-2018?
The investigation only covers the first two seasons under Pep.
Only if it is a minor fine for non-cooperation and the PL state unequivocally that there is no evidence for any of the other stuff.Is a negotiated settlement still possible?
Come on your not that naive.Possibly but that’s another question. City could settle and state they do not accept they are guilty of anything.
Not per se but is likely to be interpreted as such in many quarters.A settlement isn’t an acceptance of guilt.
He's a good poster and I think the pile on is over the top to be honest. As you say, his only crime is that he's a bit misinformed but nowhere near as much as some of the other whoppers we've come across during this process.
Not if it’s the biggest deduction in the history of English football. A minor fine, ok, but for 20 points we would have to accept guilt for something.A settlement isn’t an acceptance of guilt.
Not sure what you mean? Stefan says this happens all the time. If you mean how it is perceived then yes I agree with you.Come on your not that naive.
The Grauniad still use that settlement as proof we cheated.When City settled with UEFA in private, City were guilty in public. City thought the case was closed.
When UEFA wanted to open the case again, City said fuck off, we'll see you at CAS. City won the case.
The Grauniad still use that settlement as proof we cheated.
But Stefan‘s examples are unlikely to have had the public profile of this. Questions have been asked in the House.Not sure what you mean? Stefan says this happens all the time. If you mean how it is perceived then yes I agree with you.
I understand your point and it would be perceived like that. I’m just saying that City could, in theory, accept a substantial punishment without any admission of guilt whatsoever.Not if it’s the biggest deduction in the history of English football. A minor fine, ok, but for 20 points we would have to accept guilt for something.
shit like this really fucks me off.
Not part of England but the capital of the Independent People’s Democratic Republic of Mardarse.(Currency: The Hubcap. 10 to the dollar.)What? But? Wait? How?
You mean that ex mardarse manager of the mardarse club was being a mardarse in front of a hundreds of mardarses who all hail from the capital city of mardarses that is Liverpool?
Well I fuckin never.
He’d rather be idolised by the Scouse mob for all he would have won had City not cheated!If Klopp had any class he would have STFU given what Pep said about him the other day.
shit like this really fucks me off.
The fact that account gets so worked up that he's being called Nick Harris is confirmation enough it's Nick for me.lolIF it is him as both, just imagine how much of a psycho he is.
And here's yet another thing you've got wrong. I know, for an absolute fact, that the PL approached City to talk about some sort of settlement. We don't know what that settlement was but if it was to accept a penalty in return for accepting lesser breaches, you don't make that sort of offer if your case is strong and ironclad.From what I'm reading and hearing it is likely some sort of deal gets done in the background, City get a 20 point deduction and a big fine - will mean they won't win the league that season but still qualify for CL. The hysteria that City get relegated to the National League or whatever is overkill - not in a million years will that happen and it's in the club's interests to wrap things up quickly and I'm sure the lawyers will be advising them that as for sure with 115 charges to go through some of them will stick, even though there's an element of subjectivity to them all.
because "they protest too much" becomes the narrative so what they hiddingThe club thinks being quiet and ignoring it will make it go away in time.
It doesn't, It just allows the void to be filled with bile and lies about the club.
