PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[big gaz]

This is a massive thread, good luck to anyone starting at Pg1.

At least they will be better informed than the media clowns and fuckwits in the boozer.

I think I’d prefer for us to be found guilty of all charges. But when they punish us we only get a paltry £1m fine.

That's just a dumb take on things.

Why would you PREFER us to be found guilty?

Stomach turning over. Felt sick all day. It’s all I can think about. Like that feeling you get the morning of a big game! Expect this time we’ve not only got a few hours before we’re either celebrating or our world comes crashing down! I can’t take months of this shit ffs!!

Eh? Its going to be months before we find out. Next year in fact (Though I do hope there will be some sort of leak) but you will probs have a long wait yet.

I think it would piss the football world off even more.

I understood it. Our rivals are always going to call us cheats. Sports media will always hint at and bring up the charges every time we do something good as if we werent found guilty. Why not screw their heads up more. Its a joke.

By being proven to be cheats?

Nope, not getting your thought process.

Like any of us should care what they think.

We can piss the football world off by winning 5 in a row and having their piss boiled that they cannot officially use 115 as a stick to beat us with, lest they look stupid. Being proven guilty gives them all the ammo they need.

It would (correctly or not) objectively denigrate the achievements of the best squad to ever play football from these shores.

Result!

Aguerooooooooo was a lie

6 (six) year plus investigation and court case and then the panel simply say it’s a minor infringement and small fine.

The football world would lose its mind.

If we are guilty of the charges it isn’t minor.Don’t think you’re getting the seriousness of the charges.

You said "guilty of all charges" though.

That means guilty of Sheikh Mansour breaking PL rules, used his own money to fund the club, points deductions, titles removed, relegations and erasing the efforts and achievements of those years. Not exactly a 'minor infringement' nor would the panel ever conclude it as such if we were to be found "guilty of all charges".

But yeah, football twitter would go nuts! WOO!

As I said, dumb.

 

[dobingsdobber]

The best one I have heard today is 20 of the 115 charges City has already been found guilty off haha haha

Look I see it as City can not lose because if you think, if we are found guilty we are taking everybody else down with us, The whole system is bent to the core, just look over the road when Utd fudged £75 million in allowances with PSR and others ask for allowance was but was turned down, Utd even said it because of our annual turnover is greater than the rest hahahaah BENT to the core

Doesn't he play for Spuds?

 

[Blueskyson]

Absolutely this, imagine the silence of the room.

We as a club have kept and continue to keep our powder dry, it must’ve been tough for those at the top?

It's pure envy by other clubs remember the pl is run by all the other clubs so this is the only way they can stop us.

its still possible we may get done with non cooperation only which my guess would be minor compared to what we could be found guilty of, of course you are correct if the unthinkable happens

 

[Damanino]

our lawyers need to be ready to address the leaks and how they are used in the media to approach the non coop charges.

also showcase the media reporting on the case and how impartial this reporting is in general to make sure the independent panel is not influenced by it.

btw do we know who the panel is made of?

 

[cleavers]

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?

I see cheerful charlie has turned up.....

Allegations, non-cooperation ... sound familiar?

You missed "City".
