PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[M18CTID]

Bet you wished you hadn't bothered now ;)

Tell me about it!

Perfect timing, straight after our comeback win ' ....he heard someone at Anfield ....40 point deduction' sounds like dipper dreamtalk to me. No way any of the substantitive charges will succeed and non-coperation would be a financial penalty even if it was upheld, which seems doubtful. My money is on the red scouse worst nightmares coming true & last night was the beginning of their collapse and our recovery.

Maybe this person has just been reading the red-shirts' 10 year old script.

There’s no need to give @M18CTID a hard time. He always posts in good faith, and was only sharing what he’d heard. As others have said though, it’s highly unlikely to be true thankfully.

it’s defo info worthy of posting. Whilst it doesn’t add up - it’s news from a source that if it was good news everybody would be popping champagnes corks.

Some on here can’t deal with anything that might be bad news so try to discredit the posts.

They won't decide a point deduction yet, they want to see how many points we accrue first as their total might not be enough to relegate us.

I think that the scepticism is because there are so many dubious posts claiming to be itk, for whatever reason, which is beyond my comprehension.

Attention seekers possibly ?

Not a dig in any way at M18CITD btw.

Don't worry about it M18CTID, i think you posted it in good faith.
Not like some of the thousands of posts in this thread that are just made up fantasy bollocks ha

Or it is simply horseshit

A reply in tune with your soubriquet ;-)

I'm just doing the maths of how many points we need minus 40 to stay up ;)

Around 80.

I realise this may be a whoosh moment but, people need to stop sharing this stuff they heard from a bloke in a pub, stood next to them at a game, or from Fuckwitbook.

Use some critical thinking skills. The panel are just starting to hear closing arguments. No judgements have been made. No penalties decided. I doubt any charges have been dropped although most are weak and the Etihad stuff has been debunked at CAS.

Yes, we shouldn't be afraid to share negative stuff but only if they're well-sourced, not the product of Nick Harris's fertile and tortured imagination.

The outcome will be delivered when it's delivered. Let's all chill until then.

I think we'd have to take the opinion of "one of our lot" very seriously indeed if they were wearing a Barcelona shirt.

Thought I'd get slaughtered bringing him up as a potential cheap signing lol

Not by me mate.

A very select few us can see a player within 2 minutes.

Kerkez is a blinder.

Which pub did you hear this in?

There will be no points deduction as we are going to prove our innocence.

 

[StillBluessinceHydeRoad]

It’d be dressed up as ‘unintentional’ with the majority punishment relating to non-cooperation, whatever that means. I’d imagine we’d get it down to 20 on appeal. Remember Everton got done 10 points and nobody actually cares!

Some "pinch" even so ...

Total exoneration ,- unimpeachable source (my brain)

Anyway, this mate who heard this said he naturally wasn’t in the best of moods as the second half kicked off! However, he has plenty of other contacts in the media and at the club. One of his media contacts is someone who’s been his mate for the past 30-odd years and again is someone we all know as he errr, cough cough, posts on here ;) So he asked him if he’d heard anything about this so-called 40 point deduction. The answer he got back was along the lines of “That’s bollocks as they’ve not even done the summing up yet!”. This is a fair point as while I think both sides might have an inkling of how things are going at this stage, if the summing up hasn’t even started (or is just starting going off the pics that have been posted on here), let alone the panel then sitting down and spending months deliberating, I can’t see how anyone would know at this point in time what our punishment - if there is to be any - would be.

Summing up is what a judge does in a criminal trial. There is no need for this tribunal of law and fact to sum the case up to itself! In fact that would be seriously weird!

Closing, or closing arguments is more apposite.

Voices in my head mate. Think it might have come from god and he'd know, if anyone would.
