PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

Cassandra said:
I don't believe that City have seriously breached the rules and certainly not to a worse extent than many other clubs would be found to have done if they were subjected to the same level of scrutiny as we have been. I have much less confidence in the EPL judicial procedures. So in the first instance I would expect an appeal. If that appeal were rejected and our legal advisors thought that it was still a perverse judgement not supported by the evidence then I would expect that a way could be found to take the matter to the civil courts. If no way to do that could be found or if that failed I imagine CFG would have a plan B.

Probably they would plan to rebuild from whatever division they found themselves in, maybe with a notional change in ownership. If in the Championship then I imagine they would be back quite quickly.

If they found themselves in a worse position than that then I wonder if CFG would transfer their centre of operations elsewhere whilst they rebuilt City.. Perhaps Girona, some favourable transfers with buy back clauses could preserve the nucleus of a new squad. Meantime La Liga would perhaps outshine the EPL in terms of sponsorship and TV deals as it became more competitive.

In any event I think that City would come back, perhaps even stronger, within four or five years.

A guilty verdict finishes us

Not only the punishment and relegation and fines and other clubs being allowed to sue us for lost of earnings and prize money but sanctions will be added and spending caps added.

They're accusing us of all these allegations therefore they need to prove that we've indeed been guilty of fraud and inaccurate figures.
Good luck to them finding something as we're on about 7 or 8 years of being accused and all UEFA and Masters seem to pinning their hopes on is some doctored emails, which by the way provided absolutely nothing apart from belly laughs.

Over to you the Premier League, good luck finding absolutely fuckall.

Innocent people are still being found guilty in 2024
 
Has there even been a verdict given, for there to be any whispers about it from City or the PL? If not, then the key word would be potential '40 point deduction'. People getting giddy about possible punishments IF City are found guilty doesn't bother me. They've been doing it since the 115 announcement.

Honestly, something stinks about the way the fanbase is being gaslighted by desperate cunts from the outside.

Lee, We have seen things that only Manchester City fans will ever see,
I just want this all over with and then we can shut all the clowns down once and for all the called us cheats
 
M18ctid told everybody that Cheeseman was blabbing that we were getting 40 points. Cheeseman then came out with a pathetic ‘don’t believe what you read’ without explaining why he was telling people about 40 points.

Then a few days later is saying cryptic bollocks again about ‘what he has heard’.

The bloke is a whopper. Hopefully somebody will pull him for it on his shit blog this weekend.

you’ve gotta cheat the cheats. Like you I ain’t bothered one bit if we have cheated. What the fcuk else are we supposed to do with an organisation that creates rules that are unlawful so in effect cheating those that their illegal rules don’t suit.

Nobody touched him with a barge pole when bbc cast him aside, not the club or anyone else.
 
Hmmm....Sounds like....

Hey Cheesy what you heard about the charges?

We're getting hit for 40 points.

Questioner goes running about like Chicken Licken with a loud haler over the throw away, jokey comment.

Becomes a Bluemoon Classic

Just a reminder on the time frame on the verdict/judgement:

‘One senior legal source told The Times that the three-man panel would be acutely aware of the attention focused on the outcome of the case and would be working flat out to get their judgment out as soon as possible. That could be the end of January, according to the source, but the number of alleged rule breaches and the complexity of the case could mean that it is delayed.’

That is just when City and the PL find out on their side(and it's the end of Jan at the soonest) because at the moment, the 3 man panel are still in the process of considering all the evidence from both sides. We will likely be left in the dark until the decision report is completed and released publicly. Didn't Stefan say March or later?

What might give away the outcome would be anything leaked about an appeal. Which would happen fast from City's side. Then again, I originally thought the PL would not launch any appeal but the way those in the UK have tried to spin UEFA's possible appeal against the CAS verdict and what a mistake it was not to pursue it, I'm not sure about that anymore.

If you don't know, UEFA's own legal advice was that they could challenge but they had little chance of success. The problem City have, is the press over here are so invested that they will exert whatever influence they have or think they might have, to avoid admitting defeat(ie they will try and pressure the PL into it). A defeat for the PL would be a defeat for them, such has been their bias against City from the very beginning(zero balance, poor fact checking, poor journalism).
