PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

Confidence to invest in the country is the key which will lead to growth in the economy, for this reason alone Masters has to be replaced and a IR with teeth put in place.
Masters is toast at the PL....its o ly a question of time.

Meantime Parry needs assassinating to prevent his coronation by the soon to be extinct red cartel of yanks.
 
I think it’s highly like we are guilty of something unfortunately, but I can’t imagine the punishment will be anything close to why other fans want.

However, until it’s done with it has made me a little less enthusiastic about the return of the premier league
 
Rag wanker said: "Last night it was announced that Manchester City's hearing will start in four weeks. I wonder if they're not signing anybody on purpose, thinking they might get the book thrown at them.

"If they think they're going to get found guilty, and something ridiculous happens, they get relegated or deducted 20 points, they might think what is the point of signing players now. They got £82million for Alvarez, and they might just see what happens."

So that’s it lads, pack up. The red cunts have somehow found the evidence that dosent exist to punish the club even before the tribunal has started.

Take a bow Rato. Mastermind has spoken.

Live on sly sports:

20 point deduction will just mean we might have to celebrate St Beneathus Day a little bit later this season. The Rag wanker should be worrying about whether or not they'll qualify for the Europa Conference. What happens to City will have very little consequence to them.

Guilty of breathing? Guilty of existing?

Something like that you mean?
 
We obviously only know what we read. I just think it’s likely we don’t walk away from it with no form of punishment.
Non cooperation.
A big fine. Maybe a 4 point deduction and everyone can still say we withheld evidence because we are cheats and the media can continue with that narrative forever. Mission accomplished.

That would be ideal! lol I’ll just be glad when it’s done.

But I’d take your prediction!
 
Agree with all this as the most likely outcome but what happens in the aftermath? I can't see anyone in the senior PL leadership team surviving. The media can't gloss over the fact they have lost multiple millions (perhaps up to £100m) on this farcical witchunt. The PL clubs have all subsidised this madness. The fall-out will be huge. Presumably some sort of crisis-management plan has been prepared, perhaps involving the new regulator. This will have been a disastrous PR disaster and a laughable defence of "we were right to enforce the rules" will not wash.
Should City win then PL legal costs will fall to members to cover. Who knows who will contribute and by how much? Surely City will not be expected to contribute? What then? Can of worms not thought through.
 
It's been a while since I've read the CAS report, but my understanding was that UEFA and Der Spiegel had laughably got some of the interpretations about the emails wrong, and where there was ambivalence there was no other evidence outside of the emails and witness statements and banking transfers for the defence. They made the point that even if the emails were talking about doing something bad there would need to be more evidence to show that someone actually did the bad thing.
I don't really remember seeing them say that, at least not in those terms. As I remember it, they used language more like 'even if this were true' which is not them siding with UEFA at all, it's getting them to understand it's not enough just to believe that's what they meant. That's why I said a quote should be a minimum requirement. I'm not going to waste time only to find out it's 100% bullshit rather than 50% bullshit. Because even if they specifically said they agreed with the interpretation der Spiegel went with, it wouldn't be 'a finding of fact'.
 
Will it?
From the PL perspective they believed they had grounds to investigate us and did so. If/when we are vindicated, they simply say the IC has shown there was no case to answer and that their robust investigation/enforcement measures have been proved to work and that no club is above the rules.
I understand where you are coming from but it goes further than this, as you say their stance can be that they believe they had grounds to investigate us, that's fair enough. But they also then charged us, this puts them in a whole different light, if they lose they can't hide behind the IC and claim the procedures worked.

Why not? Their procedures are to investigate, charge, then let the IC decide. They've simply followed the process
