PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

Just seen him talking now.
Surprised by his reaction to it all, I'd expect him to be a bit more bullish and have a bit of faith in the process.
That statement was from the ex head of the FA not the former Chairman of MCFC.

Much like when he was in the Royal Box at the FA Cup Final when we were been presented with the cup, he was struggling to keep his emotions in check!
 
That's fine as long as a not guilty verdict brought an end to all the innuendo.

If it doesn't the club HAS to go all out on the attack and sue for libel and slander.
Yeah i agree.
I dont think for one second our owners are the sort to go all put attack. It would be a complete 360 on their normal way of doing things. I think they will just want an end to it all.

I would however hope that any future slander is jumped on from a great height
 

The PL wanted Everton to pay the legal costs. The cheeky f*ckers.

If the PL lose against City the costs will be paid by the PL and other 19 PL clubs. That won't go down well with the Red Shirt Cartel clubs. :-)

What about legal costs?​

This specific case is six years in the making, so legal fees on both sides are already estimated at tens of millions of pounds before the hearing even starts.

Expect whichever side 'wins' to make a claim for costs.

For context, the Premier League wanted Everton to pay the full £4.9m legal costs of their first PSR six-point deduction case from last season.

Everton's lawyer Celia Rooney told the appeal that those figures were “frankly eye-watering”.

However, an appeal board ruled Everton should pay £1.7m and the Premier League cover the remaining £3.2m legal fees.

Any costs being paid by the Premier League at the end of the City case would have to be spread across the 20 clubs which make up the league.

If they try to get us to pay a share of their costs, we should tell them to fuck off. You just know they will do that, the arseoles
 
So many journalists either simply don’t understand the CAS verdict, or deliberately misrepresent it.
I think it’s both. It’s no wonder your average fan assumes we are guilty. They don’t have the inclination to read the CAS verdict themselves so rely on journalism to inform them. They have done a shocking job.

Suppose thats one way of us gettin our own back,hitting them in there pockets,ill take that
 
What on earth is M Ogadon on about?

The Football Leaks material formed the basis of UEFA's action against City, but after finding the club guilty and imposing a two-year Champions League ban, UEFA's decision was then overturned by the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) because the alleged offences were "time-barred" by UEFA's five-year statute of limitations.


Ogden. Never one to let the facts get in the way…..

This point will doubtless be addressed when dealing with costs at the end, given that section 61(2) of the Arbitration Act 1996 (assuming applicable here) expressly states costs should follow the event. City can’t be expected to help fund the other side in a litigation they have prevailed in, especially as if we lose we’ll have to pick up the tab (or much of it) for the other 19 clubs. It’s probably already been covered off between the parties, or is expressly provided for in the PL rules - unless it comes out of some nebulous pot, I guess.

Fuck knows!
 
City have put their money where their mouth is by investing hundreds of millions on infrastructure.

Again it doesn't change my outlook. I'd expect a business as usual approach regardless. Club confidence, investment in infrastructure, it's just noise imo. It'll be a long hearing and the PL have a mountain to climb to prove guilt, they may do so but we'll see.

Business as usual is not a £300m investment in extending the stadium & building a hotel.

I hope City say we aren’t paying a share of legal costs for effectively prosecuting ourselves

And hopefully any club that wasn’t in the league at the time the charges were brought takes a leaf out of Leicester’s book and says they weren’t a PL club at the time so they aren’t either

Fanciful, but would be amusing

Remember when Stefan first appeared on talksport, he did pretty much read out the CAS verdict and align it to this case but all Jim White wanted to know was what punishment we get, they then put the headline out 'city financial expert says city will be relegated'.
When you notice all the media reports they all start with the allegations then lead onto possible punishment, not one report I have seen has gone into any sort of detail about the bit in the middle, the actual case itself.
I believe they are intelligent people and choose to ignore the CAS verdict and focus on clicks instead.
 
I reckon hardly any of them have read it.
I wouldn’t mind but they don’t even need to read the full report. Just the bit that says we didn’t use disguised equity funding for sponsorship payments. And even if any of the brain dead cunts were to accept that we won on ALL the non time-barred charges, what makes them think it would’ve been a different outcome on the time-barred ones?!
