PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

...and Pannick's oft-cited hourly rate has gone from £5K per hour to £10k now back down to £8K per hour. It's a useful barometer for how well the the PL and their supporters in the media think the hearing is going for them. When it goes up above £10K then I'll start believing we're golden.

Also, the more shite articles we see, the more worried our enemies are. They are clearly shitting themselves.

The MEN website in reality has only tenuous links to Manchester. It’s used by Reach for their advertising with a sprinkling of click bait articles amongst the adverts.

The days of their reporters having close links to the club are long gone. They ain’t bothered about friction with City caused by snide articles as there is no relationship there in the first place.

Oh for fuck’s sake!

I’ve been flicking through YouTube shorts and i do not know why but stopped at a clip of Camelgob on a Rag channel saying
“I could have 2 more medals, which means 8 premier leagues, shine them up for me, shine up them medals”

Milking it and acting up for 13yro old kids like some gangster

He’s a ****’s ****!

For the love of god, please, please let us be innocent

I’d rather nail my balls to a sinking ship than let him have more medals

if he is willing to get more medals by those means then quite simply he doesnt deserve any medals at all, that is the entitlement shown by those red top twats, the very idea that other players are better than them baffles them and that is why they will never ever improve.

Couldn't agree more. I'm thick skinned when it comes to opposition fans and shite articles, but I'm sick to fucking death of this 115 bollocks. It is a number that was deliberately inflated to make it seem so much worse. An actual deliberate move by the PL to grab headlines. The fucking abuse from the BBC, Sky and Talkshite (to be fair to Talkshite, at least they've had our guy on giving a balanced view and on quite a lot of occasions as well) has been fucking relentless. Every fucking achievement we've had has been tempered by 'we must not forget the 115 charges'. Every fucking time.

Now we have Blues who say just enjoy the success and ignore the cunts. I can do that, but only so far. It's now fucking boring. We'll never, ever lose this 115 tag. That's why it was decided to report it as 115 charges and not 5 or 6. They fucking knew what they were doing. Now we have the fucking Lefty Liberal cunts at the BBC lauding a fucking prosecuted hacker - typical fucking Left leaning organisation. Oh, and very interesting that he's hacked the two Arab owned clubs.

Anyway, if we get cleared I want the club to go on a fucking Tet Offensive against them all. Firstly ban that fat **** Schmeichel from the club. Then unless the BBC offer an apology ban them cunts for a season. Get in amongst all of the cunts. Then get after those red cunts Arsenal, Dippers and Rags - fucking expose the cunts.

Just fucking sick of it and the unbalanced reporting of the whole situation.

DUBAI/LONDON, Sept 11 (Reuters) - Abu Dhabi's Etihad Airways plans to make its stock market debut no sooner than 2025, two people familiar with the matter said, in potentially the first IPO of a major Gulf airline as the UAE's capital ramps up effort to become a global travel hub.

The fact this case has even made it to trial shows how confident City are. According to The Athletic, retrospective fines may have been the only punishment in the event of a settlement agreement, but the club ultimately decided against making any compromise.From today on Goal.

I knew the M.E.N had it in for us but they are in absolute overdrive regarding their Facebook and Twitter accounts. Every fuckin Ten minutes they fire a post out regarding our charges. They seem to be revelling in all this and willing the outcome is Guilty.

It's fucking astonishing that they are a Manchester paper.

The MEN is only the Manchester edition of the Mirror. It has hardly any dedicated local staff which is why it now consists of soap gossip, national news, articles from other Reach regional titles such as the Liverpool Echo etc.

Like much of the legacy newspaper industry it's on its arse with no print sales and collapsing online advertising.

Would agree but he certainly isn’t stupid, as the article is quite carefully constructed to appear balanced - and the conclusions contained in there are superficially plausible.

He presents three scenarios. The first being that we are found guilty - because we are guilty and that the club will engage in ‘vengeful’ retribution following it. The second scenario is the we are cleared but it’s inevitably qualified on the basis that it could be a just outcome, but by implication may very well not be. And the third scenario, and one he posits as the most likely, is a middle ground and one that crucially involves an admission of guilt on our part.

There is a common theme running through those three scenarios, namely that the club has done something wrong, a view that is underpinned by his description of the emails as ‘compelling’ despite them manifestly not painting the full picture (how could they?) juxtaposed against his derision at the club’s deployment of the word ‘irrefutable’ to describe the evidence we have/had in our possession to rebut these charges, through the prism of a gratuitous and grossly exaggerated reference to the hourly rate of our leading counsel. Along with, of course, the obligatory and misleading reference to the time-barring of the UEFA charges.

And he finishes off the article to remind everyone of the wider geopolitical consequences of a finding of guilt - a worthwhile point but plainly designed to bolster the inference of that gult, given its location at the end of the article.

It’s a carefully constructed, but wholly specious work of sophistry, and whilst conspicuously better written than most of its ilk, is still consciously designed to project the unwavering position that the club must have acted dishonestly.

Maybe it has, it’s perfectly plausible, however unlikely, but it’s the absence of any suggestion at the possibility that the club has not, and what the consequences are that would flow from that (rather than us simply getting away with it) that has marked this wholly dishonest species of article for the last two and a half years.

Back to the settlement discussion, would you settle for no sporting sanction, no financial sanction, but seven asterisks?

Ironically, if we are docked points this season and consequently don’t win the league the only asterisk will be the one for this season.
