PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[Gorton_Tubster]

They can only sue if we are guilty of fraud, and if we are guilty of fraud, limitation is suspended. So why the need to reserve the right to claim damages?

Reserve the right to claim damages sounds better in the newspaper.

If we broke rules to win the premier league and therefore qualify for the chumps league, surely Madrid (and Inter) will want adding to that or another list ... just sayin!

Don't give Ziegler any ideas for his next rehashed article!

Take this to privet messages, please.

You are Vernon Dursley and I want my own bedroom (not £5)

Hedge funds. Privet messages.

Very good :)

They're both just sitting on the fence.

They’ve got to replay every round for each year we knocked teams out…. Wait on the they’ll have to replay he groups as well.

Only this. Can't make headlines every week with clickbait if the clubs do nothing .....

I'm guessing the Mancini contract stuff doesn't remotely equate to fraud even if we were guilty as charged on that one? Not that I'm saying we are of course but if that turns out to be the only one they get us on then it's fuck all in the grand scheme of things and any **** demanding compensation or points deductions or titles stripped based on that is a.......****!

So, we're all agreed that they're cunts and that they will demand compensation

The mancini stuff was before ffp and so can't have had a negative impact on any other club right?

Because they have been on notice of that potential fraud since Der Speigel - 6 years ago

I expect to see this now.

You must have missed the UEFA case.

We won by the way.

City were posting losses of over £100 around 2012. So if they were paying Mancini two wages from two different companies was it really making a massive difference to passing financial fair play at the time? Only club that we were pulling the wool over the eyes is Inter Milan as Mansour didn’t want him going elsewhere and Mancini didn’t want to lose any payment from Inter from his departure.

The only thing dragging on is Ziegler flogging this dead horse. ......

At least we "know" now the compensation claims in respect of Everton's first punishment were withdrawn, with the exception of Burnley whose claim is still in process.

because spurs would of finished 5th instead of 6th? :-D

spurs wouldnt finish 2nd in a one horse race

Are the charges only up to 2018 and our case has been resolved by UEFA.

 

[yerwot?]

Stalemate is the likely outcome, what-ever the verdict. A tko followed by appeal. a legal firm's dream; more wishful thinking by the Prem presented as facts, such as possible expulsion, compo, titles being stripped, championships re-awarded, etc. Since it's inception, the prem has been run as a cartel, by and for three clubs, earning billions for murdoch through sky, and fortunes for the clubs. Allowing the home team to keep all the profits from a game automatically widens the rift between the cartel and the rest of football, as intended. In some ways, a super-league now seems less of a very bad idea, imho

Well they finished third in a two horse race when Leicester were given the league.

I feel the silence is quite telling, I have no doubt that something would have been leaked by now if we had lost the major charges. The more I look at this the more I cant see anything other than a loss for the PL.
