PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[Judge Roughneck]

Oh shit! The kit man is moving on. A clear indication of guilt by all accounts.
The Daily Mail ran that story today as 'Sports News' because that would be newsworthy at any other club?
Of course the red shirted chicken lickers were all over it in the comments.

I find it quite ammusing the number of Rag, Dipper and Arse fans who believe we should be held to account and given no leeway or benefit of any doubt, after all rules are there to be followed and cant just be ignored. But then go on to say its a disgrace that the hearing is being held behind closed doors.

Completely oblivious to the fact that it a PL rule that is being followed.

Were talking about if there is something to be found.

And if there is something to be found the FA won't do any deal and the Chairman will still say 'irrefutable evidence'
That's the whole point of the original comment.

Personally I can't see them finding nothing.
You don't spend literally years building a case, drag it into the court only for there to be nothing in it.
They must be pretty damned sure they have spent the time carefully building a case which has some stickiness to it - unfortunately.

They would though. The red tops and Spurs, plus Tebas and other European clubs, have been writing letters and pestering the premier league for years to "Do something about City." They thought they had us until we were cleared by CAS so after that it was all on the premier league.
At the very least they have got 99% of fans of other clubs convinced we've cheated. They have thrown enough mud to ensure some has stuck whatever the outcome of the case. They will see it as a success. Personally I think they better pray we are found guilty because otherwise I think we are going to blow the whole stinking corrupt cesspit apart.

 

[roy.or.r]

You would really think that?
Whatever the outcome, we are morally in the right and that's all that should matter.

I get that but considering I suffer from extreme anxiety, this waiting game is not good for my mental health. If we are found guilty, I don’t even know how I will cope.

That's because we allowed him to become some sort of minor celebrity. Lesson learned I hope. Backroom staff should be just that, in the background.

You’ll cope by circling the wagons and being even more of a Bert than before. Just like the rest of us mate.

Great response to that irritating bellend Ian Darke

Not necessarily

What if the decision is against city due to a stitch up or a miscarriage of justice

If this happens and out owners still insist they’re completely innocent, who are you going to believe?

I suppose in the eyes of the vast majority of our fans, we will still be innocent in a similar way to fans of other teams always believing we are guilty if we win.

 

[bluemonkey71]

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.

Sounds like they don't know their own rules. Pannick will drive a Rolls Royce through them

 

[oakiecokie]

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.

Fuck me don`t you have a sense of humour ?

Just proves what we already knew. It wasn't us being paranoid, cunts like Darke really do hate us. Impartial commentator? Yeah right! What's it got to fucking do with him anyway? Do his job and comment on games.....badly I might add.

I am genuinely curious to know what the PL have evidence wise to proceed with this case, I dont buy into the theory that they have been pushed into this and if they have then more fool them. They must be convinced that they have enough to gain a positive outcome and it will be interesting to see what this is. If the believe this to be the case then fair play to them for coming after us.

Likewise, I struggle to see a situation where if the club have knowingly breached the rules that we would have allowed it to get this far. I have no doubt that we have sailed close to the wind and used the woding of the rules to the limit, I dont know any big organisation that doesnt. There is nothing that I have seen from our owners over the last decade to make me distrust them when they claim everything is above board. We seem to be extremely confident in our position, rightly so if we have done no wrong.

I guess it will be a case of us winning some points and the PL winning some points, it all depends on who is successful on the main charges..

Wasn't it just that he said "I ain't ironing that fuckin oasis top..!"

 

[kippax123]

Dont get this way of thinking.
Its not win/lose. Its not a judgement call or an opinion that will be given. Its absolute truth, in either scenario. And frankly thats enough for me.

If the decision goes for city, it will be absolute justice finally, exoneration, clubs name clean, open season to go after anyone we want.

If the decision is against city, frankly the club has lied and covered it up for years, including to us fans. Its then down to each individual to decide whether they care about that or not.

I trust the club not to be guilty of what would be potentially the largest corporate fraud in sports history. So im relaxed about it and expect a positive outcome.

If not, will deal with it then.

Ultimately its truth that we get and it will be a relief either way and we can all move on with our lives.

Exactly how I feel about it.

I think he's leaving because he's off to Benidorm to spunk Pep's £10k on cheap beer and slappers.

Can't blame him lol.

Charge 116 (or 131?) buying our lawyer a roller off the books/under the counter….

 

[bigA]

It seems to me like it's us v the Premier League, the red shirt cartel, the main stream media, UEFA, La Liga (well Teabag Tebas anyway), stupid ill informed fans of other clubs who have already passed judgement and handed out there sentences.

That's a fooking lot of cleaning up to be done if we are cleared and those alleged charges have blown up in their collective faces. And there are a lot of bottles twitching at certain clubs and praying that mercy will be shown by City in the hope we don't exact revenge and come after them and expose any or all the corruption they have carried out over the years.

 

[HolisticJim]

They would though. The red tops and Spurs, plus Tebas and other European clubs, have been writing letters and pestering the premier league for years to "Do something about City." They thought they had us until we were cleared by CAS so after that it was all on the premier league.

They can only 'do something about city' if there is something to find.
The rest is just conjecture.

They could easily have stopped at any time and the mud would have still stuck.

I can well see us being found guilty on some of the charges and the punishment being spread over several years in order to cause the most damage to us.

Sure, we will appeal and the number of years reduced but I would simply be amazed if, after all these years of investigating, the legal team who are fronting this are happy to go into a wishy washy case and have their personal reputation damaged.

The flip side is that if we are found not guilty then the financial damages we would seek would be catastrophic to the Premier League.

Well take refuge on here. It can help.
