PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[M18CTID]

No, its not inconceivable. None of us know. What I do know though is ALL headlines around this have been written for Utd and lfc fanbases - What would you want to hear if you support those clubs....
"Our owners could go to jail"
"Titles will be taken off us"
"Titles and cups will be awarded to them instead"
Do you accept those things as possible? What about Pep taking bungs as was accused years ago? Not inconceivable?

Its all dreamland stuff created just to bring clicks. Why no headlines about City claiming compo if we are innocent? Because its not popular. None of those fanbases would go near that. So they talk shit about City and KNOW some will believe it and thats all it needs.

As for the actual compo (I am nowhere near knowing anything about legal stuff) but that would open a can of worms. We could claim compo for Utd failing FFP because they materially cheated us out of wins against them, lfc too failed FFP, in effect cheating. Leicester - Has anyone yet brought compensation claims against them?
Not only that, can the PL award compo to those teams? I suspect not, they cant tell City to hand over billions of pounds just because. And if that does happen than whats to stop City and ALL clubs claiming off each other because of FFP failures? For compo to be awarded it sounds very muich like we would have to be found guilty of very serious crimes such as cooperating with our auditors to create a different picture, defrauding HMRC etc.

The PL have created a mess and they know it. Its why they never before bothered about this shit because it was a can of worms... Until the govn said they will regulate, then they did something, and they did it on behalf of the red cartel clubs but thats just my opinion.

Great post. As you say, where does it end.

If City are cleared, I don’t think that alone will give us the basis to start a claim for compensation but if we also had strong evidence that all along this was being driven by certain clubs then surely we’d be able to claim compensation from those clubs for the clear and obvious reputational damage to our club and brand.

City should brief one of their go to journalists and actually name those same 4 clubs in Ziegler’s piece. Not outright accuse them of course but state “If City are cleared and it’s then proven that United, Liverpool, Arsenal, and Spurs were behind this in demanding they punish City regardless of whether any evidence existed or not then City will be putting in a claim for compensation against those clubs”.

Let’s see how the Cartel Cunts like it being thrown back in their faces!

They could phrase it like Zieglers….

Manchester City have taken the step of formally registering possible compensation claims via arbitration before a potential statute of limitations deadline last week, sources have told The Times. The club involved declined to comment.

Not ideal. Every fucking thumbnail is deliberately terrible I think. Thats my excuse anyway

Breaking: Bamber Bridge Blue serves legal notice reserving the right to sleep with Kylie Minogue should she become blind and lose the ability to think rationally.

Lol, reserving your own jail cell early then? ;-)

 

[Mancini’s Pastilles]

I think if we are cleared instead of going through the whole compensation route. The biggest fuck you to everyone would be to blow £500 million on revamping our squad

I reserve the right to seek Natalie Portman in my bed.

I've been drilling away in my bed for years...hit the occasional small gusher, but no Hollywood scenario...

With the money we sue the premier league and media for ;-)

We’d need midfield & forwards as well ;)

 

[feedmpenzaandhewillscore]

Isn’t the only club looking at numeration for being wronged is actually in the associated parties hearing Manchester City? The hearing the premier league lost and were found to have used illegal rules which those said clubs seeking some form of compensation all illegally voted through? Where’s the article on that?

 

[WRicko]

I know we’ll be cleared but imagine the mess we could create & boil piss if we were found guilty….

“City you owe clubs £2 billion in legal costs plus compensation”

City: “well as we’re in the NWC Div 1 we’ll go into administration & take another 20 point deduction? Hows your hedge funds?”

What are you on about hedge funds for

 

[WRicko]

How long have we got to wait now it’s getting very boring and very annoying.

 

[Invisible Man's Bandage]

How long have we got to wait now it’s getting very boring and very annoying.

Several months.

If the hearing finishes tomorrow as scheduled then there is the Christmas break coming up so I imagine deliberations won't start fully until the New Year. Then there is all the usual cross-checking between panel members etc so my guess has been March for a while. Stefan put up a timetable ages ago and he has been spot on so far. He said the hearing would be Autumn and judgement released in Spring / early Summer next year.

Isn’t it going to be in the New Year when we do, the document that comes out with the findings will make the phone book and Yellow Pages look anorexic.

Is it to late for clubs to sue dipperpool for 5 years of no European football and making us play in the full members cup ?

 

[Gazza]

I think if we are cleared instead of going through the whole compensation route. The biggest fuck you to everyone would be to blow £500 million on revamping our squad

or take one player of our choosing from each of;-

united (Fernandez and stick him in the reserves)
dippers (Jota or Salah)
Arsenal (Odegaard)
Spurs (van de Ven)

Maybe, but I read somewhere that 450,000 Murkyside residents had lodged an action in the event the dippers reached another Chumps Lge final and they might be mistreated and denied entry to the game. Always better to be prepared and all that.

……using an interest free loan from our owners.

When is this entire shitshow going to end?

Never. Unfortunately.

Or fortunately, for others.

Mehh, it's all old news. We always knew they would do it, why they would do it and how they would do it and now we know they have done it.

And if they didn't do it after all the Ziegler fuss of the last six months it would be a sign that the case had gone badly for them.

The only new things we know are exactly which clubs are involved and that we now know for sure all the leaking comes from one of those clubs (the PL hasn't leaked since they were caught out by the leaking by Arsenal of the APT document). None of the clubs commented to the Times, my arse.

So take your pick ......

All those clubs have leaked at different stages. It has been a campaign of hate. United have backed off a bit since Ratcliffe came in. Probably because of Berrada and because the club needs overseas investment and don’t want to upset any potential investors who may come from the Middle East.

Not too sure on the rags under Radcliffe, they were more than happy to write a statement for the Premier League in the associated parties hearing on rules that are now deemed illegal. I wonder why?
