PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

I don’t think so. A win strengthens our case but a defeat means we are in the same situation we were if we didn’t bring this action.

Stage one: Did the PL break the law?

If they didn’t then it’s as you were

Stage two: Prove your accusations

Win or lose but i think there’s a pathway strategically planned step by step .
 
Lawton’s latest piece has some more nonsense punishments the Pl clubs want for us if found guilty. Compensation totalling £1bn plus expelled from the league…

or 1 billion price money for super cup lol
 
Lots of people suggesting that the legal action suggests that we are not confident in our position with regard to the charges. On the other hand, it could be argued that it would be pointless spending yet more millions of £ on legal fees to protect our long-term position if we felt there was a genuine possibility that we could be expelled from the PL (which seems to be the expected sanction if we were to lose the case).

Whilst we appreciate your support in this matter, it really should have been you doing this as it affects your club the most or at least no less than us.
We've been putting up with this shit for 10 years. Wait until you start winning stuff beating the red mardarses and you'll then suffer some of the crap we've had to put up with since 2011.
Having said that we don't know the details of the case and it could well be co-sponsored as far as we know.
Welcome to the Party - you've been hiding in the kitchen for too long!

I assume they just try to block out a big enough time frame to definitely do the job.

So if a case could possibly last 6 weeks, you have to book up all 6 weeks because you might not get the same 20 people (lawyers, witnesses, arbiters) in the room again for years.

Exactly that. And in the lead up there will have been a request for certain information, both sides will have already settled certain aspects and an agenda will set out the specific aspects of the case that the panel wish to discuss.

And as I said, the majority of our arguments are simply addressed through our accounts and I wonder whether the fundamental charges would take any longer than the 3 days CAS required ultimately.

New version for the city charges


Everybody's talking city,
Can't hear a word they're saying,
Only the charges, 1-1-5,

People shout, and swearing
I can't see their faces
Only their comments and their lies.

I'm going where city keeps shining
Through the pouring rain
Down to the Etihad stadium,
To see them win again.

Cheering on in the northerly winds,
And Watch the boys score goals,
Winning all our games, like we do.

Wah, wah wah-wah wah
Wah-wah wah-wah, wah wah-wah
Wahhh the bitters cry.

I'm going where city keeps shining
Through the pouring rain
Down to the Etihad stadium,
To see them win again.

Cheering on in the northerly winds,
And Watch the boys score goals,
Winning all our games, like we do.

Everybody's talking city
Can't hear a word they're saying
Only the charges, 1-1-5

Nicked this from Didsbury Blues WhatsApp group. Think.its brilliant

It is a campaign. Simple as that.

What a way to shit the bed, take a big exclusive scoop like that which the Times had, a chance at a serious story, and turn it into bottom feeder gutter tabloid ranting.

That might be construed as an admission the PL are aware they’ll lose this case. Now it’s up to the client media to start suggesting that they would have won if it hadn’t been for…….insert anything here that sounds like city ‘got off and it had to do with pots of cash’.
Clear and Obvious…..
