PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[halfcenturyup]

I've long suspected this could be the case. The way they changed the APT rules to entitle themselves to third party documentation also supports this point.

As did the change in guidelines to the PL rules regarding providing information halfway through the investigation to include a requirement for the club to get third party information "when able to do so" (clever wording when they know we were able to do so at CAS).

As did the challenge the club made against applying new rules to a historic investigation after the allegations were referred.

As did the commercial court hearing which stated that the PL had asked for information from external parties.

So yes, very likely that non-cooperation will centre around the provision of third party information, along with deliberately delaying the investigative process, which is something the PL accused the club of in the commercial court hearing.

Clearly it depends on the regulations we are found to have broken and the sanctions imposed but let's not forget that in 1919 Leeds City FC were forcibly disbanded in 1919 in response to allegations of financial irregularities regarding illegal payments to players during WW!. They were expelled from the league in 1919 largely because the club's directors refused to cooperate with the FA inquiry and refused to hand over the club's financial records. Allegations, non-cooperation ... sound familiar?

No, not really

A nice balanced approach from Sky asking what the ramifications would be if we`re found guilty. But not asking what the outcome would be if we`re cleared of the charges.

I can't believe they have the gall to call themselves City fans.

Most probably aren't, they're just voyeurs that can't help themselves.

Kaveh Solhekol. Who famously said the rags were getting an £80M player for £40M in Donny Van Der Beek.

The same player who they sold for £500K to Girona this summer

Can't we just skip to the part where Khaldoon tries to put the small glove on and we can all go home?

That for when he fists Masters?

I'm sure £500k is 80m in someone's currency. Nepalese Rupees or South Korean Won seem to be closest.

Is there any circumstance where the case could end early? Ie if the Premier League realised it wasn't worth pursuing?

Same as every media outlet. Not one saying what happens if we’re innocent

Right, I'm ignoring this until it hits 10,000 pages. Not enough GIFs to hold my attention.....

I would love to know if there is any truth in the stories that the PL tried to agree a settlement with us that we subsequently declined, I really hope this is the case. If it is then we must be supremely confident in our position.

I remember Kaldoon stating that he will have plenty to say at the appropriate time. A part of me thinks we may want the full formal hearing so that the "facts" are documented and out there avoiding any future falsehoods.

Down Down by Status Quo?

 

[abu13]

Not as I understand it. City did not play ball with UEFA. But it seems they did with the PL but the extent of cooperation is disputed.

On this point I think it is quite possible that the PL have asked us for financial information and we have gone back and asked what do they specifically want, the PL may have just said everything that could be relevant but we have said we will only supply specifics.

It could be that they class this as none co-operation. However we feel we have been reasonable.

Can we put journo twiter stuff on the media thread please , it is hard to keep up with this thread and we know they all think we are guilty so what is the point spreading their poison

Pretty please
