PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[hammocity]

I will give it a read. On Talksport he was basically saying they haven't done anything wrong, the premier league accepted their large claims of losses and other clubs should have followed suit.

Oh I agree with you, the Premier Lesgue has said they didn't do anything wrong and it was quoted as saying they were given exceptional Covid and Share dealing losses.

If Everton had been given the same 40m Covid allowance they wouldn't have failed (plus the hit caused by the Ukrainian war as another poster mentioned) I'm sure Everton just didn't seek advice from the red shirts at the PL, the Rags influence is so strong you can bet they were back and forth asking what was the best way to fiddle the PSR, it's scandalous really.

So if City’s legal team get this chucked in the bin in front of an independent panel appointed by the Premier League. It means the highest sports court in the land in CAS have agreed with City and then also a three person panel who City didn’t appoint. Where will these people have left to go on the mental gymnastics that City brown enveloped their way out of it?

The brown envelope covers all.

Done nothing wrong as in they submitted the reasons for the loses. If the premier wave that through that means they have done nothing wrong. Suppose you can interpret it in different ways.

Khaldoon has pointedly differentiated the Senior Execs at the Premier League. He goes out of his way to praise the Chair, Allison Brittain, but totally ignores CEO Masters - who is persona non grata at the Club. When City win their “case”, Masters will definitely be sacked and depending on the events leading up to issuing City’s charges (who advised, authorised the “weaponised” charges and why) it may be that the PL’s Legal Head/General Counsel has to go as well, and possibly terminate their relationship with their external Law firm. Beyond that I think Khaldoon will mend his fences with Brittain (he may have done so already) and the new regime at PL.
As you say, the super league won’t happen and the red shirts/Spurs will just have to get back to trying to beat us on the pitch - instead of shenanigans behind our back in the corridors of power.
As for the morons who endlessly call us cheats etc, that will fade especially if we have an even-handed regime running the PL.
I’m very optimistic and the end of this hearing can’t come soon enough - I’ve just a gut feeling it may not take quite as long as being currently suggested.
The Khaldoon stuff regarding Brittain is very obvious…the rest is conjecture.

Tend to agree but why get rid of their legal firm? They may have advised them not to go with this but the client insisted who knows but this all needs ending as soon as possible, it's damaging to the club but it's also damaging for the league that's why masters will go, the PL earns this country millions of pounds in export revenue not to mention the tourism it brings in, them being bullied or controlled by a cartel of clubs is not a good look, and when most football fans put their bias aside they know exactly what has happened here

I suspect that the woman from the PL (can't recall her name) who presented the trophy at the end of last season will replace Masters. Everyone at the club seemed to be making a point that they liked her and got on well.

She is the chairman, so it would be a step down but I take your point. The club along with our new friend Alison can make sure Masters' replacement is a good one.

But if other clubs put in say 6M and are happy that was their figure, then the prem accept that was their figure, then it is on them for putting a low number in no? Prem accepted it and Uefa didn't so it is clearly dodgy.

I've read no other club got more than a £1m allowance.

If i remember correctly they had a sponsorship deal with team viewer that they (team viewer) simply couldnt afford. When neverton made a claim for loss of sponsorship due to russia's invasion of ukraine they got short shrift at the tribunal hearing as apparently sponsorships come and go and clubs need to factor that in!!!

As i said this is if i have remembered correctly

yep this will be the vast amount of that £40m, and smacks of double standards to boot

They watch too many crime dramas sure corruption goes on all over the world but not the extent they think it does, any project given planning approval they are all over Facebook claiming "brown envelope" they don't understand process and legality and because they don't it must be corruption

 

[halfcenturyup]

Because who asses them are there mates

If I was going to be assed, I think I would prefer it to be by my mates, tbh ......

Shows his level of stupidity

Why wait until we've been hung drawn & quartered in the media, paid Pannick & his lawyers 5k a day to go to the independent commission, to bribe them at the last minute. If we would have bribed the PL then it would have been more worthwile to do it before the PL dropped the bombshell of 115 alleged breaches. We could have paid the PL £1m in hush money, like the dippers

Youve taken the notion too far. Even the idea of bribing anyone is fuckin stupid

Hows it go down? Turn up at PL HQ bag full of used fiftys?

Its pathetic that grown men have these thoughts full stop

You are and old softie.

I`m a vindictive ****, I want all our detractor ruined financially, money, assets every thing. I want them and their families left destitute, potless, penniless and without a roof over their heads.

Luxury. We used to dream of being potless and penniless without a roof over our heads.

A rider on the acquittal verdict would be nice. "The panel was concerned that some clubs in the PL have undue influence in the PL's policies and operations."

Every time the case is discussed in the media there is a reference to our expensive lawyers. Are the PL not spending anything on legal fees?

Nah mate. They're relying on the services of a weekend duty solicitor.

 

[r.soleofsalford]

Same here - I sincerely hope that ever since that first UEFA accusation we have been 'acquiring' filth on all our detractors... fire with fire.
When our name is cleared I'm envisaging a scene like the end of the Godfather - Mansour sat there whilst everyone gets their come uppance!

Please god.

Their lawyers are doing it for the love of the game; purely to uphold the ethical standards, and to put right all of the wrong doings.

Practically volunteering, if you will.

No, this is a fight between the worlds most expensive lawyers against homeless children from the streets of Trafford, Merseyside and North London whom the Premier League are using as volunteers.
