PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[bluemoon32]

Fuck me, the media are giving balanced reporting on this.
I've seen relegation, 100 points deduction, decade long transfer bans, & World War 3 as likely outcomes ffs

When this is all over and all the smoke has cleared, Masters & the red shirts will have to look us in the eyes. It will be like ‘Battle of the Bastards’ in Game of Thrones where Ramsey Bolton comes face to face with Jon Snow.

Hopefully the same fate as Ramsey Bolton awaits masters.

I suppose the dogs will be replaced by the 3 redshirts and spuds.

And what about if we lose?

 

[Paladin]

No we wouldn't. Premier League would revoke our license to participate.

Is that right? Maybe whatever league we ended up in would be given a special licence.

Imagine a team were to win the CL one year, then get relegated the same year due to poor performance. There would be no reason to prevent them from attempting to defend the CL.

Maybe not but i'd imagine a lot of our 'stars' would fuck off sharpish if we were ever relegated

“Not guilty, just better” absolutely class, love that!

Always thought we should get a special banner just for the derby:
'Not Bitter, Just Shitter'

Don't think that is true. He's been everywhere this morning. I got bumped from the Today programme. I am on Times Radio later and in the Sun this AM. But KM is the go to guy. No question.

Its not in the PL remit to decide if the UCL Champions can compete, that would be UEFA's decision However, its likely that if we lost then the charges pertaining to UEFA FFP would come into effect giving them the opportunity to bar us

Media are portraying lawyers coming as a met gala.

i've always struggled with why we would seek to inject money along the line of "Sheikh to Etisalat to City", when they could just have gone "Etisalat to City" via a higher sponsorship deal at the outset.

It's more simple than that. If Mansour is so influential in AD that he can get directors and shareholders of some heavily regulated international companies to effectively commit fraud and perjure themselves in front of CAS, why would he not just have used his influence to persuade the AD government to increase their funding of Etisalat/Etihad so they could fully pay the sponsorship themselves? The amounts involved are completely immaterial to the AD government. It doesn't make any sense, unless you assume Mansour is an idiot.

Maguire is OK on finance, but he is no lawyer and, guess what, this is a legal case .....

He’s always been snide around our finances. We clearly bring in a lot of work for him, if he gives them what they want.

No one has inside info on this so try not to lead people on too much.

Even the info from trusted sources is about confidence rather than knowledge of direct events.

There is sure someone who has inside info on this

‘woooah look at them briefs’

 

[Prestwich_Blue]

Will we get any snippets of info coming out ?

If you see film of Pannick running round the streets swinging his jacket round his head, I think it's safe to assume things have been going well.

So which stage of the Suits episode are we in and when will one of the main characters be written off due to joining the royal family?

 

[Onholiday(somemightsay)]

His first client was hung & he represented Boris in a certain defeat at Partygate so I think his reputation would survive.

That's first bits reassuring - how fucking old is he!?!
