PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

I’ve heard the 20 points rumour from a completely independent source, a corporate lawyer, not practicing in sport. He was at a social in London where a lawyer who has represented other PL clubs and PL players was talking after a few glasses of truth serum had been consumed. He said the PL offered a £50m fine plus 20 point deduction because the IC is completely overwhelmed by the volume and strength of City’s written submissions to the Panel. The offer got the response it deserved. Simon Jordan and Nick Harris are now saying a settlement is on the cards. Sounds like the PL are on the run, they have absolutely botched this and Masters will probably resign first, during the summer. The PL are banking on the constant negative PR forcing City into a settlement, Khaldoon said never again and he meant it. We have taken this shite for years now, we collectively must not buckle one iota. Keep fighting Blues !

Jesus, that Nick Harris and Magic Hat convo is....just as fucking boring as their tweets.

Two cunts made for each other. Hi, Santi - you ****.

Without a settlement it will continue for years, its making governance of the PL extremely difficult, it's also damaging the PL/City brands every day it continues. In addition, every single disciplinary decision the PL makes creates a "what about City" pile on. Without a settlement we could be back here in a year on page approx. 10K++. They probably opened with a very high settlement "offer" expecting a negotiation downwards in response.

If the evidence in our favour is so overwhelming, then it can all be dealt with in weeks surely? I'm not sure you've thought this through.
 
Where is this hearing taking place? In some secret back room of a hotel in London somewhere lol?? Am surprised the media have not found the location of where it’s taking place,

Also how can the panel be impartial?? Surley they are going to be influenced by what the rest of the country are saying and the reporting in tabloids,

We did, but that would have taken a complex route to the Swiss civil court system. I think he said at the time that it was just not worth it.

So in effect, evidence that we acted in good faith - only for every governing body thereafter to do the exact opposite.
I’m sure this will have been likened up just in case, ready to add to the mountain of other examples of disingenuous behaviour from the powers that be.

It happens all the time... as much as we all want City to be 100% cleared and not face any punishment the reality of the situation is more "grey" - whilst the charges hang over us it can affect all sorts of stuff like sponsorships or getting new players in... It's in our interest to end things as quickly as possible but with an outcome that suits us.

You still upset you won fuck all again??
So you have information that we will get a 20 point deduction...who's your source..and I don't want hearsay or what the milkman says .
Who has said that we are guilty and will get 20 point deduction that's close enough to the people who will be making the verdict that you know this for a fact.
It's time to put up or shut up

It's like caving in to Putin, when you know you are right.

The thing with the emails which were released after the CAS case which needs to be understood is that when City officials represented the club at CAS, they'd have done so in the knowledge that if Pinto had accessed and leaked a small handful of emails, there's every chance he'd have more.

With that in mind, do you really think they'd be dumb enough to perjure themselves by lying their way out of the first batch of emails? They'll have approached the witness bench with the mindset that every email the club has ever sent under the Sheikh's tenure might soon be publicly available.

Suggesting they lied and are now backtracking having been taken completely by surprise by a new batch of emails is fucking naive to say the least.

That’s a very good point.

I've known him for over thirty years and he's a really lovely fella
I was absolutely gobsmacked when Abbie told me about his message, especially with him working in finance and his knowledge of money laundering and fraud etc
But it proves the point about 115 charges and guilt that @Stephen.spcostman.co.uk made that it is becoming the narrative around the globe

It proves what, he's an expat, not a "global" anything. Tell the really lovely fella to fuck off.
