PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[cptaidan88]

Standard procedure. Both sides have to.

Fuck around. Find out.

Is there a way to check any deleted emails? Besides the junk folder which they would obviously empty? ie, could a computer specialist if required confirm if any emails were indeed deleted?

Yes. Almost certainly recoverable.

Hopefully, we agreed to it being circulated provided they were a) numbered and b) each one separately identifiable by a tiny individual marker in the text. That way the source of the circulated copy could be traced

Standard procedure. Both sides have to.

going with this , standard

Let’s be honest, it’s a lot of emails and texts, possible running in to the 100,000’s over that period of time. This case is going to run and run.

 

[Stoned Rose]

The stones on City.

 

[Delboy352]

Wouldn’t it be ironic if the PL said that they wouldn’t release anything due to them being time barred…

Hope Garry cook is looking in with a vest on.

I’m sure @projectriver will be along at some point to say that this is just standard procedure in such cases, and nothing particularly noteworthy!

The media’s silence is deafening

If this request is correct then it's hard to see the hearing going ahead in November this year unless it's not actually germane to it.

To have all mails, texts, WhatsApps etc relating to City from every club that has been in the PL since 2009 produced to the IC, the club or both is in itself a huge task. That information will then need to be forensically examined to determine if whatever is being looked for is proven or not. It's something you would have thought would have been demanded at the outset.

Who still has text messages from 15 years ago?

Rooney. Still rubs one out to the dirty ones even after the senders have been buried.

Seems a strange one this (possibly in a good way).

I don’t see how conversations between Masters/Scudamore and directors or other clubs etc has any bearing on whether City have submitted false accounts.

They’re either false or they aren’t, regardless of whether there is a cartel working against the club.

Disclosure is a normal legal process in such cases…..but I think what they are looking for is evidence of a stitch up or collusion by the PL and other clubs

I might add that I’ve been involved in two corporate legal cases where disclosure process has been used to examine emails and text messages…..

Lol, I have never sent a text message in my life.

Thankfully I dont work for the pl in their "plot against City dept" so hopefully there will still be plenty for our legal team to peruse.

I have "received" loads of texts though(from customers mostly) and do read them, I always envisage the sender standing staring at their phone waiting for a reply.

I normally ring them back when its convenient, to actually speak.

Speaking directly is a great communications medium you know.

Even if its now a poor second to reading shortened script off a tiny screen.

The granny he was shacking probably didn’t even know email 15 years ago.

[oakiecokie]

hmmm I wonder how the press and media will twist that one :

"Manchester City Abu Dhabi owners delve into the private lives of English people"
"Sheik Mansour exploits legal loophole in desperate attempt to clear MCFC name"
"Masters (And other PL execs) to be spied on by Mansour and Manchester City"

I suspect thats far more likely than you think.

 

[jrb]

Boom!

 

[There is a Light]

Nothing could top the three vile red clubs and the PL being proven as the cheats themselves. I don’t believe in God but I’m going to pray anyway tonight.

Nah. This is a can of worms.
