PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

Let’s be honest
If an email was found from arsenal , United and Liverpool saying we need to gang up to stop city from beating us by fiddling the rules
The press still wouldn’t go big on it
It doesn’t serve their purpose or feed the readers they target.

Respectfully disagree.

Literally any change in the wind will be picked up by the media.
If city are guilty they’ll run it and they’ll sell gangbusters.
Massive corruption at the head of the football? They’ll be over that that, imagine the stories, headlines, clicks and ad revenue as the premier league collapses!

They are vultures that’ll pick at any corpse if the eating is good.

absolutely spot on! I wonder why the media have a massive problem with our owners but not Wrexham? Hmmmm what could it possibly be?

They didn’t do much picking at the Standard Chartered money laundering / terrorist stuff that resurfaced last week.

At some point, the owners of the MUEN made the calculation that spewing out continous streams of piss taking, negative, hate filled anti-City rants gets max clicks. That was their choice, my choice was to never read it again, ever. Bookmark deleted. End of.

& yet you’d surely question its riskier governance to allow clubs selling off their assets. What could possibly go wrong with hedge funds buying clubs, loading debt & selling real tangible assets.

Its fucking insane.

As you say compare the risk of this investment with the risk of the proven AD investment of our owner and there is only one winner.

Some more evidence to prove biased rule selection by PL.

But if they are not....

And there happen to be any private discussions that suggest people tried extra hard to make them look that way..

Perhaps. I still see accounts as being a pretty binary situation though - they are either fraudulent or they are not. There is nothing in between.

No amount of willpower or subterfuge can make fair and accurate accounts into illegal ones because they are a statement of fact.

ie, Khaldoon: “We will be judged on the facts”.

This is why I believe City will be fully exonerated - our accounts are undeniably fair and accurate, regardless of any cartel working against the club.

City, the team I support unconditionally, are a fantastic football club.

You cannot pick and choose who you support, it's in your bones from your earliest memory.

Half and half scarfers, selfie stick wavers and bandwagon jumpers just don't understand.

Personally, I've seen us win the league cup with Dennis's overhead kick, seen us miss out on the division 1 title by a point and reach the centenary FA cup final in '81, the result of which still hurts.

David fkin Pleat, skipping across the pitch, dropping into division 2 and rising like a Phoenix, thanks to Joe and KK to get back to the PL.

The take over in 2008, not really knowing what to expect, the media even back then couldn't help themselves, sneering and belittling us.

Roberto breaking the mould, winning the FA cup, beating the rags on route..

The PL title in 2012, so nearly typical City too..

Manuel winning our first double in 2014, an achievement once again shockingly ignored by the media at the time.

Pep, what can I say, Pep, agreeing to manage us.

Fundamentally changed the game of football in this Country dispite being dismissed as out of his depth joining the PL..

"His brand of football won't work in England, we lump it up to the big man and work on knockdowns and second balls, none of this tippy tappy nonsense for us, thank you very much"..

What a fkin journey we've been on since..

Doubles
Trebles
Quadruples
Champions League
European Super Cup
World Club Champions
100 points
Most home wins in a season
Most away wins in a season
Biggest point margin in winning the PL
Best team in England over the last decade to name but a few of our achievements.

All achieved by not breaking the bank, dispite the laughable notion that we can spend what we want..

On the other spin of the coin, during all this time..

The rags..
Won nothing of note for 11 years.
Best part of a £billon in debt and absolutely no direction.

Dilapidated stadium and failing FFP this season which didn't so much as cause a murmur in the media.

Lift carpet, sweep under and move on.

The dippers..
Dispite having the best manager and the best players in every position, have been completely in our shadow since bingo rocked up there.

One PL* win since it's inception in 1993 and beating a shit spuds team in a CL final which the dippers reached despite losing 4 games on the way.

Sponsored by a money laundering, terrorist supporting bank.

The other stuff they managed to win was mainly on penalties after failing to score a single goal in 120 minutes of play..

Bingo, this season saw his arse and fucked off mid season, a broken man..

Maybe he knows something is coming over the hill regarding the shit we've had thrown at us and has decided to fcuk off now..

Personally, I must say, "it was a good day for football when bingo decided to jack it in"

The tarquins..
Bottlers, drama queens and losers.
The only team to win consecutive titles at Christmas..

Sponsered by Rwanda who's human rights record is shocking.

Spent more than us over the last 2 seasons at least and won fcuk all..

Not a peep from the media as you would expect.

Spuds..
Won fcuk all in my lifetime or most peoples lifetimes to be fair.

Irrelevant, trophy dodgers extrodinaire..

Absolutely no morals..
Main shareholder has been convicted for insider trading in the US.

Annoying little brother of the above 3..

Fast forward to today..

We have just won our 4th straight PL title, just missed out on a first ever double double too..

No respect, acknowledgement or recognition from the media for our outstanding, never been done before in the history of English football, achievement..

We are not the biggest spenders, we are a fantastically well run, managed and owned club..

We have been a fantastically well run, managed and owned club since our takeover in 2008.

The red shits and their little brother, along with the media, SKY and TNT cannot and will not accept or acknowledge our achievements as they think we are cheats..

Well, listen up, CITY are not cheats, dispite already being hung drawn and quartered by all the twats who have their snouts firmly wedged in the red shirted trough.

It's been said before and I want to say it again, once we are cleared, no doubt we will be hit with a none cooperation charge though, I sincerely hope we go after each and every **** that has besmirched our name..

These twats have no respect for themselves or their positions within the media.

Driven by monetary greed, they'd sell their own grandmother rather than report facts, absolutely no respect for themselves..

What a despicable life these mugs must lead..

Please get them ruined City, it will be scant compensation for all the shit we have had to put up with over the years..!

For some reason, reading this, I had ‘Land of hope and glory’, playing in my head and I felt compelled to stand to attention and salute…….
And I’m Irish.
 
I expect it's been covered on here but Stefan isn't getting hugely excited over the disclosure news. His view is that it's just the standard two way disclosure request that is typical in these types of hearings.

He might get excited if one or two hidden secrets come out of it

Not forgetting the highest playing budget in their league and taking, paying players a wage from a division or two higher. Those players aren’t mercenaries though. They’re playing for the plucky underdogs for the love of the game. I can’t wait for the media to celebrate each City win.
