PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[ysmsa]

Meh.

They want to see how much it is for a pie and a pint at the Etihad.

About £10, and the Steak pies are massive and bloody good, twice the size of a Hollands gravy pie from the Chippy:-)

They all have big beaming smiles. A 'brave face' front, or genuine confidence and calm at the proceedings?

I'm going with the latter.

The club's lawyers went in the front door. The PL's lawyers snook in through the back door.

Read into that what you want :)

Any updates from arsenal yet?

Arsenal leak to the Times…. It’ll be in there soon enough.

The PL assesses the UEFA FFP submissions? Jesus, they can barely manage their own rules ......

To be fair, the spreadsheet UEFA get you to submit does most of the work for them. But you wouldn't even trust them to open the spreadsheet properly.

Kieran Maguire has been a snide **** throughout all this by not clarifying & going along with innuendo. He’s not behind the door but never offers context just another stooge for hire.

Hes on BBC Five Live news stating that a point penalty is the only way as a finical punishment wouldn't affect City as its owned by a sovereign wealth fund Said it before he's a closet rag he openly admits to watching them when he lived in Manchester

If it was a butty it would be cheaper, bloody Londoners

That will be the first week's legal arguments.
Muffin or barm yer honour?

We would have done better hiring Huw Edwards lawyer.

The PL has alleged the club has filed incorrect accounts to the PL. The PL is responsible for providing those accounts to UEFA. So if the PL can prove the accounts are incorrect, I suppose they can prove the accounts provided to UEFA were incorrect as well.

It's up to UEFA to determine if those accounts pass or fail UEFA FFP, I guess.

So we can expect another fight with UEFA after this, even when we win, just to keep the bandwagon rolling a bit longer.

 

[MCFC1993]

Is it true that we face 35 charges for falling to cooperate with the investigation?? That would worry me.

Yes but one man's compliance is another man's non-cooperation.

We complied to a point and then as you can see with the charges it all got a bit ridiculous, we knew it was going to a hearing so might as well just see it through to there.

They have bottled it.

Letter writing,leaking gobshites.

Must be some sandwich.

The 'Cartel Club Sandwich' but they get an allowance, after all every little helps....(them)....

I'm going with the latter.

I should hope they did not go in there this morning expecting their arses to be handed to them.

 

[MafeotulBlue]

This is the only solution left for the cartel.

All the crying, all the machinations, all the corruption, the media pressure and propaganda all the invented rules and every step they’ve taken to protect the boys end here.

This is the beginning of the end for the Premier League and its cohorts, its flatulent American whorehouse which will inevitably meet its maker in City’s legal team.

They’ll make us bleed, be sure of it, but we’ll make them handicapped, limbless, almost lifeless. In the end, the truth will prevail.

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

No sign of the deadlock being broken.

Why won’t Pep make any subs?

We need a plan B here, Pep, sort it out!

 

[Really_here]

Just heard the Premier League won't release the names of the three people on he panel? Why not?

How can he believe we are owned by a Sovereign Wealth Fund? Neither UEFA or the PL have claimed that. Our owner Sheikh Mansour has been accused of using his money to boost sponsor income. I thought Maguire was an expert.

Cos its confidential

Of course that’s how the law works… rich people don’t get fined because they can afford to pay! What’s that clown on and how does he get a platform to spout such drivel.

 

[Protein Junkie]

I've still no idea why the club isn't putting stuff out to friendlier sources as we seem to accept leaks from the opposition camp without responding. It's completely one way traffic and a free hit for all concerned.

A wise head keeps a still tongue.
