    Their guilt is an inevitability at this stage. City have invested huge resources into delay tactics rather than fighting the claims. The timeline was posted earlier in this thread but essentially the hearing could have been completed over 3 years ago.

    Kicking the can down the road isn't the action of an entity believing they can defend their actions. Let's not forget this is a civil matter too. The EPL need to prove City probably broke their rules. They have to prove it is more likely, than not, the allegations occured.

    Once proven, I suspect City are in for a decade of legal issues. There are the criminal issues. False accounting (Section 17 Theft Act 1968) seems nailed on for the high level executives. Concealing criminal property (Section 327 POCA 2000) which is effectively money laundering. Then you have the fact this is effectively a complex fraud (resists making a Fraudiola reference). City have repeatedly made false representations from which they gained, and others were exposed to a risk of loss (Section 2 Fraud Act 2006). The most appropriate primacy for the investigation is likely the National Crime Agency (NCA) and Serious Fraud Office (SFO). That'll take a few years to unpick I suspect, a few convictions coming out of that. Custody threshold definitely passed when considering the societal importance of sport and the reputational damage to one of our biggest global exports.

    Then all the civil stuff will begin. Every time City have finished ahead of another team, they've cost each team ~£1m in finishing position prize money. Years they've won, that's £19m. Second, £18m, etc. 15 years of it going to be around £200m. Then you have teams being relegated because City were cheating to stay in the league. Then the teams losing out on Champions League, Europa League and Conference League football because of a cheating team finishing ahead. The sponsorship implications of those losses. City have probably cost other teams around £750-1bn in lost revenues, just on those factors alone.

    In short, I'd expect a couple of decent prison sentences for the coordinators of the conspiracy to defraud and financial ruin for City but likely playing out until 2035.
Fuck this guy seems such a ??????

Well I guess proper whopper covers it

But it does reflect just how many people are out there desperate for confirmation of our doom - they eat this shit up and regurgitate it

From Twitter Jan Aage Fjortoft

Aren't many of you soon tired of writing "115" to everyone who writes something about Manchester City?

Now in September, the hearing finally starts. Then we have to wait until the decision comes. To speak out now in a very difficult legal matter is, in my opinion, frivolous. I will wait until the decision is made.

CAS has cleared Manchester City once. This case now also has other elements, but don't pretend you understand all the legal elements.
I await the conclusion of those who will decide this. And then we take it from there

Did the daft **** mention the £40m the cunts got for Covid that nobody else got? Did he mention the £35m bullshit allowance for share dealing costs? Both of which were invented to get them through PSR? Course he didn’t. Did he mention the cunts failing FFP? Course not

If it all does pan out as this imbecile says, does he not realise his clubs CEO is also heading for Straneways?
Critical thinking gets lobbed from the 10th floor window when football fandom is involved. The last place you look for logic is on a rival fans website.
 
Just checked this years PL odds. City 7/5 and Arsenal 9/5 for the title, sounds right.

Relegation Arsenal 2000/1, city 12/1???!!!

I suppose we could take those odds as the chances of losing the 115 charges!

As for City ‘kicking the can down the road !’I seem to remember,and I stand to be corrected, that it was the premier league/cartel clubs ,that announced they was looking into these matters then waited over 4 years before hastily charging/accusing City of the 115 just before the government was to hear a bill about bringing an independent regulator in to football to run these matters ?
It was then Masters ,who is nothing more than a paid cartel clubs shill started stirring the pot in a feeble attempt to show the premier league had teeth and did not need regulation?

This view that City have been "kicking the can down the road", using "delaying tactics" and that it is somehow an indication of "guilt" is just a nonsense. When there is no trust between an investigator and an "investigatee" or as is now claimant and respondent, and allegations are as serious as this, you do whatever you can to make the process as inefficient and ineffective as possible, using as many weakness in their investigative requests, their rules and their allegations as you can. And, despite what Masters says, the relationship between club and league must be at a near breaking-point. The idea that, if you have nothing to hide, you should just fully cooperate fully or that, as Jordan says, the club should finish this quickly "for the good of the sport" (!) is naive in the extreme. Kindergarten logic.
