PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[Zenmanc]

I was shitting bricks but everything was rosy.

You really should have seen a doctor, mate.

It isn't just expected bullishness from City, there is a supreme confidence.

To the point, it almost smacks of us already knowing the verdict!

Was very different before CAS.

I suspect in the first couple of weeks, a majority will have been cleared from the table due to time bar and Premier League unable and unwilling to accuse us of fraud or illegality, that would open another can of worms.

Wonder where it’s being held. There will be NDAs on the location of course, but people talk, and by necessity lots of people need to know this location. So plenty of people will know.

Might not even be in the UK, I guess. Don’t think there’s any legal bar to that, but I may stand (and happy to be) corrected. Theoretically could be via Zoom/Teams. Again, I don’t think there’s any legal bar to that, but I would say the parties would both need to agree to that mode of hearing.

There are some advantages to that format, especially if you have personnel supporting you, although definitely not in relation to cross examination. Maybe it will be hybrid.

Fuck knows!

I've got a good idea where it will be held. It will almost definitely be London based and close to the Chambers and offices of the firms involved - in short close to the Rolls Building which also happens to be basically next to Bird & Bird. Also needs somewhere used to holding arbitration for 30 (?) lawyers and client teams. The hearing is simply too long to be anywhere but London.

switzerland? :)

You could be right.

Part of me would welcome a scorched earth policy where a City victory would lead to a total implosion of the Premier League and complete civil war where each of the non cartel clubs utterly turn on them. Even though this has been our greatest era I would be completely content to support City in whatever is left of English football. As long as the yanks fuck off out of it and leave their cartel clubs in a complete shambles.

People buy print media for influence, not profit.

True.
I think it was Brecht who said, nobody ever founded a newspaper without an agenda.

Be more like that scene from The Godfather, with Don Khaldoon taking care of his enemies.

More like the scene from The Untouchables when Capone is walking around the dinner table with a baseball ball bat talking about team work and one smug bastard is lighting a cigar unaware he is about to get twatted on the back of the head, replace khladoon with Capone and the guy at the table anyone of the US cartel

My work has got an office about 50m from bird and bird.
I'm down there in a few weeks so if we find out where the hearing is, I'll make sure I pop by in the morning when they are arriving with a menacing look.

That is true, Bert told me.

 

[Eric Hitchmough]

It's at the Phoenix Night Club

In the Pennine Suite

 

[spinney]

And also hoped it would stop top players from coming to the club and sponsors from signing contracts

that is one of the main aims of the lengthy campaign against us, mud sticks

Is such a thing possible, with regards to the last part? Genuine, treat me like I'm five, question by the way.

Could there be such movement on the case in the coming weeks or would it be more likely it all comes out one way or the other at once sometime next year?

100%..
They always take our money though when we want a player.
The 2 faced twats.

 

[MeatnSpudsMCFC]

If this does go against us, I do hope we drag it all the way to the high court if we must. The implications are far too high for the club now.

All this talk of stripping titles irrespective of the time period irks me. Previously it was a handful of social media accounts floating anything but now it’s in the mainstream with pundits and it’s totally deranged.

Isn't it past your bedtime?

Makes perfect sense. Was hypothesising rather than stridently predicting.

Be amazed if the CMHs weren't ‘CVP’ though. Makes no sense to be otherwise.

I’ll be wearing this season’s City Shirt all week… don’t give a crap what other teams fans think, say or want… we are City the best team ever… I always wear my City hoodie and trackies … we’re winning this there is no doubt… we have nothing to answer… the prem have to show proof… it’s uefa mark 2 and we’re going to wipe them… monetarily, morally and take them to the cleaners… I’m getting the popcorn for this one… can’t wait until we are in the “trial of the century” as sly sports/bbc name this one… the real “trial of the century” will be us sueing the arses off them… and Delaney et al

 

[waspish]

930 am tomorrow when all the charges are thrown out for no evidence… 1030am tomorrow for City to charge media and premier league for slander and damages

They'll go through the 6/10 week process

I’ll have my city jockstrap on if that helps

Better for these miserable twats, especially from US cartel, look at themselves. When I would compare City’s net spent to theirs, I would laugh deeply.

City has to be ruthless and sue all of the. All these clowns like Delaney, Panja, two Harris boys, Ziegler, Kaveh, Lipton, Herbert. Demolish their careers and finish them.
