PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[calumdown]

So here we go. 10 weeks to establish that it is highly unlikely that CFO's, FD’s, Auditors such as Deloitte, KMPG, Investors and members of the UAE Royal family colluded over 10 years to commit industrial criminal fraud based on a small number of selective out of context emails. A panel of 3 is really going to make that call, that on the balance of probabilities we are guilty. I just do not see it happening. The PL made a massive mistake going after City with so many charges hoping some will stick. Some such as Mancini’s contract, which was signed a year before the PL even introduced their FFP model will be disputed, as how can you break rules that are not in place as was the case with player image rights such as Yaya Toure. So much of this will fail on technical arguments, interpretations, and timings, with the most likely outcome being a fine for being obstructive and not fully cooperating, as was the case with UEFA because they kept leaking the details of the case. Important that on the substantive charges in the PL case, CAS found there was ‘no evidence’ that City had inflated sponsorships to essentially cook the books. The time bar element only means the same charges were not taken into consideration due to UEFA’s own statute of limitations. It did not mean City would have been found guilty of the charges. Sadly, regardless of the outcome and such is the tribal feral nature of football we will be guilty either way. Me, I’ve loved every minute if it. Had we bribed referees, fixed matches then that is another matter. But bending and working around financial rules that kept being implemented by the red top cartel to prevent clubs like City competing is fair game and the fact that it upsets them so much makes it even sweeter.

paragraphs help :)

Exactly it doesn’t suit the narrative of what he’s getting across basically City are to blame even if we are found not guilty..

Why do you care?

He’s a fucking imbecile. Don’t give him any oxygen.

Someone put it on here earlier a list of our made up charges.
I can't find it and I'm arguing with a tick rag on wattsapp.
Could someone put it on again please

Just driving home had Talk Sport on Jermaine Pennent basically saying as there are so many charges we must be guilty. TBF his co host kept pulling him up

I'm not sure he's the best judge of anything. I wonder if his ex mrs is still making pornos on OF to earn a living.

 

[Manc Born & Bred]

At the presser tomorrow whoever is in charge these days should state at the beginning that no questions will be answered about the impending hearing and anyone who asks one or alludes to it will be banned for the rest of the season. It’s that simple, we should be in control of the narrative.

 

[eastmanc]

We could win the tribunal but with the amount of mud we have had aimed at us that wont matter a jot, the people who run the game have killed the game.

That was always going to be the case. We will be guilty in the eyes of the majority of football fans but fuck them all we know are haven't done anything wrong. The charges were always designed to paint City in the worst light possible. They can't have City being the greatest club side ever, we play in the the wrong colours.

I’ve got a friend who would be interested in knowing a bit more about this?

Just don't waste your time arguing with stupid.

It's Thursday night. Relax. Put the TV on, grab a beer, fire up the PlayStation, talk to your partner, read a book.......

Plenty of better things to be doing than bickering with a rag on WhatsApp.

Google is your friend.

Sorry his friend.

I can't help it.
I tie the silly **** in knots.
There's a few proper rags on our group and we respect each other.
But this guys like shooting fish in a barrel.
He'd just sent a video of some no mark on slysports.
I just said it must be true we're guilty cos it's on the tv version of the sun newspaper

This will be the first iteration of genuinely trying to remove us, they will quite literally kill the premier league before they allow us to have it.

These cunts are playing the long game.

 

[eastmanc]

Worst case scenario. We get a few points deducted.
And then stone me, we still win the fucking league! Not piss boiling, but piss evaporation level.

There will be no points deduction.

Jermaine Pennant doesn’t know his own date of birth.

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.

Marcotti always sound like he's 3 pints past his limit when he speaks IMO.

 

[Toffeedude]

Bloomin cheating gits.

As said already, feck them! I hope it all falls apart. Probably United and Liverpool who made the charges up as well.

Good Luck. i hope you get nothing done to your club.
