PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

It make me feel much more confident about our future.
But just curious, why there's zero chance that we will get 100 point deductions? (yeah, I actually has zero understanding of commercial and corporate litigation, I have to admit).

Sporting sanctions would be for us gaining an advantage by any misdemeanours

Everton overspent - they gained an advantage on their sporting rivals who stayed within the rules. So they were given a sporting sanction ie a points deduction, presumably to “level the field’’ and discourage others from breaching the spending rules

In order for us to be deducted 100 points, I imagine it would have to be proven that we gained an enormous sporting advantage by breaking the rules

If/when the non co-operation charges are the only thing left on the table (if even they are) we won’t be deducted points because telling the premier league to fuck off hasn’t given us a sporting advantage

At least that’s all logical to me, but fuck knows
 
Thought of the day. The PL are a bunch of red cartel lackeys who threw the dice erroneously in February 2023 when under duress from key stakeholders. The red cartel have got what they wished for. Will they like the outcome though? Not that press are reporting it this way, but these are also very dangerous times for the PL and the red mafia. Could be a one way ticket to oblivion! Now that's a story that won't be reported.

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.

FIned a million and saddled with the premier leagues legal costs, as i am sure that would happen if found guilty on all charges. No part of me wants us to be guilty of anything, even non co-operation. I think that non co-operation could be the one area we take some sort of hit on though.

If we are found guilty i would dread to think of the damage done to the reputation of some of our senior execs and owner

Lets be honest, the PL must have something tangible or we wouldn't be staring down the barrel of a 12 week hearing and a 3 month adjournment to find a verdict. But in the same way that those insist we are guilty have no idea if that is actually true we have no idea of our innocence.

I personally still disagree, I don’t believe there is anything other than what has been seen before. I reckon nearly all the charges will fall apart pretty quickly, and that the majority of the days over the course of this hearing will be short days spent box ticking and going over same old ground. It might be blind faith, but that’s the way I read the situation still.

But I’m happy to believe Khaldoon when he says “irrefutable evidence”. I completely understand your post, I’m not daft, I just can’t believe we could ever be so stupid as to leave a paper trail that gives the Prem any ounce of proof that we’ve circumnavigated the rules.

And then set off on a £300m expansion / improvement of the Etihad campus

From relative optimism to extreme pessimism just in a few hours. State of this forum.

They'd be out like a shot mate, I don't know where we'd go if found guilty
 
Where I'm a bit confused is how anything that was already adjudicated in our favor at CAS, which is the highest court in Europe regarding matters of sport, can be presented again. How is this not considered double jeopardy or does that not exist in the UK? If that's the case I apologize in advance for not knowing this...

Whenever you have a moment of doubt just tell yourself this, since our owners came they have hired the best in every area to carry out their plan and brought about a team the likes of which the pl has never seen before and they did all that with a cartel trying every dirty trick in the book to try and stop them, why would they not do exactly what theyve done all along now.

If you want even further clarification our owners can point to 12 years of success for evidence of our owners keeping their word, the pl can point to richard masters a man with so little self respect he took a job that 4 much better qualified candidates publicly rejected.

They didn’t hire the very best in IT because we got hacked and that’s what got us here in the first place.
 
For me Red Cartel twats just can stand City is winning trophies non stop. If City would be managed like Spurs so around 3-8, nobody would be even interested in us. For me this process is a joke from Red Cartel with their aggression in the offices but the truth is they have no real proves. All this stupid journalists, Magic Hat, literally what a cabaret it is.

Yip same as when it came to us with the UEFA/CAS hearing the media had uefa as an upstanding organisation,compare that when the red scousers were looking compensation from UEFA over the champions league final the media portrayed UEFA as a corrupt and dishonest organisation..
