PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[rabby]

Not being a vindictive person I would not want to see our detractors in the press ruined financially but at the very least the press passes removed.

Or testicles depending on sex,gender, identity blah blah blah

Fair enough, good work. I think you will find in 2009/10 there were two handbooks, in the first the club breached C75. This rule was split into two breaches in the second book: C79 and C80.

So I think the club didn't breach C80 in the first book.

I think :)

Could easily avoid breaching C90 by putting some sellotape over the hole.

Fuck I am old.

After the event this time if found not guilty, highly unlikely that there will be public retribution etc. I would expect us to work with PL to establish a working relationship where nothing like this could happen to us again.

If we're found innocent, the PL wouldn't embarrass themselves and come after us again - regardless of our working relationship with them.

I hope they're told to get to fuck and - if innocent - certain individuals get fucked off sharpish from their posts within the PL.

2nd day and still no leaks at all


The only leak we are getting the a photo of Pannick every morning which is fine as long as he keeps smiling.

As long as he’s getting paid he’ll be smiling

cheers,

I'm just reading though all the handbooks and my thoughts are we're going to beat these easily as the wording is very specific which works in our favour. I'm on to the 15/16 handbook and it's all the same stuff except the E53 to E60 rules which is about related parties. Easily cleared up as the best the PL could hope for is associated parties plus it was cleared up in CAS anyway. We're going to wipe the floor with them. I'm extremely optimistic now.

Their social media worker has to be certainly sued by City. As well as worker of Domino’s Pizza. The sooner City will eliminate this stuff the better.

That’s quite funny imo

I'm sure I'm not the only person feeling quietly confident, but also with a nagging doubt that there might be something lurking in the background.

For reassurance I watched one of Stefan's interviews on Talksport following the Leicester loophole.
He was asked if City could find any similar loopholes and he immediately asserted that City had been charged for something surrounding the Mancini contract that technically wasn't even the rule at that precise moment in time

Naturally he was interrupted by the sneering Jordan but if that's true, then alongside the wording of the Leicester loophole, and also the errors in the original publication of the PL allegations (grass too long etc) then that's already three errors that we're aware of, and the strong possibility that there might be more.

We still face a potential smoking gun, but surely someone would have heard something by now,. especially with Omar Berruda switching to the rags.

In fact the only thing that really concerns me is City's PR which for some reason, they deem to be unimportant.and maybe not even necessary
Khaldoon has been offered 2-3 opportunities to speak directly, but on each occasion has opted for a soft interview with Chris Bailey
I appreciate that he couldn't speak directly about the hearing, but he could have been more bullish about the CAS verdict and the subsequent revisionism from the usual suspects.
Instead he hid behind "I'll speak strongly after the verdict" which frankly, I fear will be too late, regardless of the outcome.

That's why I remain convinced that City will be exonerated of the serious charges, but it will be reported as though we got away with it.

 

[BerkshireBlue]

I though they only went up to 2018?

no they go beyond but these are the non compliance ones. see below

 

[Silva2021]

If we’re exonerated twice, they can get to fuck. We’ll have done fuck all wrong and they’ve tarnished our reputation because of an illegal hack and the red clubs throwing their weight around.

Not saying I disagree but I would not be surprised if publicly nothing is seen to be done.

It’s also worth noting although not always for us fans, but the best outcomes do not always come from public battles.

For me this is not funny but stupid. I would like to know more about the charges from the specialists like Maguire or slbsn, not from all these twats who know nothing. Find proves, we will talk. After two years from 115 they are rewriting the same stories non stop.

I should add probably only the last one is of concern. The others state no timeframe or urgency so it doesn't even matter when you produce the stuff they want as long as you do it (according to the rules as written). The last one does say "prompt" but that is just having access to the people rather than the docs anyway. In short, the PL can go fuck themselves

 

[Prestwich_Blue]

We could only be charged with non-cooperation once the investigation started. Even the PL, as stupid as they are, aren't THAT stupid.

I couldn't give a shit how it's reported after the fact if the actual fact is exoneration.

 

[Silva2021]

There will have to be a change of personnel at the top of the Prem though, how could we work with the persons who are currently running it going forward knowing how they feel about us as a club ?

Interesting one there was a notable change around Cerefin and also a distancing between himself and the result coming up to the hearing.

However, recent comments made show there is resentment from him.

I don’t actually think we will make that mistake again.

I also think Masters has fall guy written all over him, even if he doesn’t know it.

I quite like the Everton angle tbh. It winds them up a lot more than it does me anyway

just the final two charges that could be debated for the season 10/11 the others are again factual rules that either did or didn't happen and most likely did as they didn't kick up a fuss about it at the time. The images rights contract stuff is interesting as Fordham is a non starter for any charges as it's a valid business transaction that the PL knew about decades ago anyway.

For the most serious charges about the accounts, it's the combination of the requirements you stated with the requirement for good faith that is the problem. I think they are saying we complied with the wording of the rules but in bad faith by presenting information the board knew didn't give a true and fair view.
