PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

He's the CEO of Manchester City. He has both titles. But he actually runs City on a day to day basis and spends most his time at our offices. Roel De Vries runs the day to day at CFG who also spends most of his time in Manchester.

Here's City's entry in the Premier League Handbook which is authored by the Club Secretary at each club:

Here he is being called the CEO in City's accounts

I believe he gets paid by CFG.

I’d say those sanctions are pretty unlikely

They could do anything they like because this would be a major footballing crime the likes nothing before
The Premier League would have to obey to United and Liverpool and they would want maximum damages

its only in the past couple of months that I have had nightmares about what all this could do to our club.
How could the ownership of the club still be in charge? or should I say would the fans still want them here because we have been lied to,

Also if we are found guilty and forget any appeal, We would be found guilty and that is good enough for the rest of the Premier League job done,

I don't know why, but its just got the feel that something big is going to happen, I don't know why because I am always in the this is all bollocks and we have been cleared by CAS on all of the charges,

But I will always be a Blue and we will be here to pick up the mess and back us in any League

The whole premise of your post sums up why the panel will need to be 100% certain to find City in breach of the PL rules Considering the individuals, the sponsors and auditors it would be a seismic verdict and would have ramifications for the PL as well as City
IMHO the owners would not take kindly and they may well have information about other clubs that would find its way into the media probably destroying the whole brand but not being a part of it anymore wouldn’t matter to them That’s only a view of course

The thing is our punishment if found guilty will not just be relegation and fines, They will add spending caps and transfer window bans and could even add no straight promotion for 2 seasons, They will 100% try and stop Manchester City for 10 years or even longer,

Once the Premier League and United and Liverpool have their say City will be lucky even to win the EFL trophy
I think if found guilty they will change the rules for state ownership or involvement in ownership to be banned

The Premier League (United) fuck up big time allowing Sheik Mansour to own Manchester City and not them

Wow... I didn't realise we'd committed mass murder at the PL head office !!!

But Juventus they were the top dog running the football over there

We all know Manchester City is not a powerhouse club in the Premier League and has little say in the rules and changes made., We also know United are the main power in the Premier League and don't want us building a history better than theirs,

100% if we are found guilty it will finish Manchester City and Sheik Mansour owning the club, they don't just want punishment us, but they want to finish us and make us that little old city again.

Forget the investment and infrastructure or shareholdings because they will be worthless if found guilty
The scariest thing is it could all end overnight and everything would be a major problem: Manchester City would be left penniless and all the money gone.

Yes the stadium will be finished and over 60.000 capacity, but we would never fill it in the championship and the corporate and hospitality would struggle and it would have to be closed because of the cost of running it on match days.

A Guilty Verdict would be a life sentence

Silverlake would take over and they have over a $100 billion in assets.

Soriano is CEO of CFG, not CEO of Manchester City. He isn't running City when he's in New York, in continental Europe, or anywhere else CFG has a club.

Nor is he running City when he is at his desk at Etihad, with a CFG problem in front of him. It is impossible to do both jobs adequately and CFG is much the bigger job. The group thing was Sorianos idea originally but Barca turned it down. Mansour gave him the chance to fulfil a dream. I’m sure CFG is the child he loves.

Despite what I wrote earlier about setting budgets, I don't think you can blame Khaldoon for the "squad collapse". Nor Soriano for that matter, and I don't even like him that much. Mansour and the board seem to have decided not too invest too much for a couple of seasons and to generate income from the academy (and the fans, of course). I have no idea why that would be but I am pretty sure it would have been for sound business reasons.

The fact that it has gone tits up for a while couldn't really have been foreseen despite what anyone says. There were some risks, yes, but the pressure put on a small squad in the last two months has been almost beyond belief.

Glass half full again :)

It’s worth remembering that when Soriano and Txiki could not persuade Pep that Alexis Sanchez was a bad buy, Khaldoon came in to clear the matter up, the rags bought him and it was a disaster for them. So, when needs must, the chairman got involved.

The players 'rot' started with the piss up before the cup final....complacency in plain and costly sight.

Then the Euro's finally exhausted players who'd played 4/5 seasons of intense 'cup finals' without proper r & r.

At the start of the season they were physically & mentally exhausted and when the first wobbly domino fell (Rodders) the rest fell one by one through unprecedented injury or illness.

The rest is now known as we enter a period of re fit, re build & re fresh which should encompass the entire football dept.

Our era of supremacy is paused, no stone must be unturned, no decision shirked, and no position unchallenged if we are to be a force again.

New DoF.
New Players.
New Stand.
New...........

REFIT...REBUILD...REFRESH....
EVERYWHERE !!

If you look at the final whistle in Istanbul, half our players fell to the ground, with several actually weeping. The joy came later. The pressure had taken its toll and we should have taken note then.

I interpret the major investments in the stadium, Co-op Live, infrastructure, Silverlake's increased shareholding, and Pep's new contract as a clear signal to our competitors that no matter what you do, we won't disappear. We'll come back stronger, and just as you say, it won't happen overnight. It took Juventus five seasons to get back to the top, and that's kind of the point—it will take as long as it takes.

City don’t have any investment into Co-op Live, nor any recompense when they sell beer to our fans on matchday.

They should've been on the terraces.

Unbridled joy, tears of joy & relief.

Laughter.

Stultification.

Trance.

Hugs.
