I very much doubt our legal team will allow something so partial.

A scorched earth policy of seeing anyone in court that even whispers we got away with it wouldn't even make their product any more palatable, the conspiracy theorists run the show at the present.

Have these cunts apologised to Leicester yet?
 
Top news to no surprise on BBC now, after they quietly whispered about the Rags losses.
They have :

What are the 115 charges against Man City?​

Man City are accused of:
  • 54x Failure to provide accurate financial information 2009-10 to 2017-18.
  • 14x Failure to provide accurate details for player and manager payments from 2009-10 to 2017-18.
  • 5x Failure to comply with Uefa's rules including Financial Fair Play (FFP) 2013-14 to 2017-18.
  • 7x Breaching Premier League's PSR rules 2015-16 to 2017-18.
  • 35x Failure to co-operate with Premier League investigations December 2018 - Feb 2023.

What i dont get is why some of the charges relate to UEFA as nothing to do with the PL and CAs found us not guilty and where is the charge by the PL for the Rags being found guilty of FFP by Uefa recently. Double standards as usual
Pretty sure our lawyers are all over the Rags FFP losses and what deal they have done with the PL to avoid sanctions
 
I think of it this way;

Either we have been employing and doing business with the stupidest and most criminally brazen people over multiple years that somehow, against all logic, have been recruited by other companies and football clubs after the fact and somehow, again, against all logic went completely unnoticed at CAS

Or

We're just a well run club that some cunts can't stand

I know which one I'd wager is far more likely

We will be guilty regardless in the eyes of Liverpool, United and Arsenal fans.
Most other supporters that I know don't give a flying fib.

This is true, much in the same if this was all reversed and it was united in our position. In the main we don’t care, but to get one up man ship it would be they are guilty no matter what. Banter.

This is expected where football fans are concerned. They won’t even believe it, but it’s there to be had. Banter.

If that's true we basically didn't cooperate with some bullshit made up charges.
All this shit for that.
Bring it on
 
Seems to me that this case has been brought forward quite considerably, possibly due to the outcome of our arbitration case. Is that a positive or negative sign?

The 16th had been rumoured for a long while in fairness, just seemingly confirmed now

**** in a PSG shirt looking perplexed by it all. The other bellwhiff using the "Ruining football" trope with no shame whatsoever.

IMO we should have had them in court if we could.

Marcotti goes down in my estimation here. He clearly has no idea about City’s action against the PL and has not bothered to do any research.

I'm not a lawyer either, but I think the situation is this:

Everton and Forest both pled guilty, Everton two times (once for each breach) and Forest once. Everton were partly successful with the appeal against the first sanction, which took two months and withdrew the appeal for the second presumably as they were relatively safe at the time. Forest lost their appeal and that took about a month. In all cases the appeal was against the sanction, the club's previously having pled guilty.

For the City case, I think the view is that it would be difficult for either party to overturn a decision on a matter of fact, but easier on a matter of judgment, like the effect of mitigating or aggravating factors on the sanctions imposed, in the event that the PL were at all successful.

Personally, as a non-lawyer, I would hope Pannick could earn his 5 grand an hour by thinking up some suitable grounds for an appeal for any unfavourable outcome and despite the drawbacks. I would be surprised if some lawyers aren't looking at all the options now already, but that is an uneducated opinion rather than a sound, legal judgment.

Anyway, if the verdict is expected April at the earliest, an appeal by either party would probably have to be launched around May time which doesn't give much scope for settling it before the end of the season, and then you have the summer holidays. Try getting all these lawyers off their expensive holidays for two weeks in July and August. So it is probably likely an appeal, if there is one, would be heard next season.

All imho, may be bollocks.

Lawyers have been known to set traps for the prosecutors with an appeal in mind. A judge might spot this and steer the defence away, but this tribunal may be different.

We as fans have been dragged into the conspiracy theories and details even if they are true or untrue. The murky world of business and the protectionism afforded to "The royalty", the charges and accusations football fans don't understand yet parrot over and over again as if they are important.

I look at the colour of my shirt and that shirt will never change it'll always be blue, football has changed for the worse it's gone way past picking up a pink to check the other scores or your pools.

Soon they will add acronyms and percentages end zones and ice cream music, this tribunal will IMHO bring that reality even closer.

Oh my god picking up the pink when I was little to see where City was in the table was the highlight of my week.
