PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[St Helens Blue (Exiled)]

'Irrefutable evidence'

See you at West Ham

"A verdict is expected this year, likely in the first months of 2025, which will determine if City have systematically cheated and broken financial rules, or if the Premier League have launched the significant allegations without sufficient evidence to prove it"

So, what that paragraph is implying is that either we are guilty as proved or guilty but not proved!

That is exactly what it says. Cunts.

i imagine that when the case fails the PL will say that the allegations were made by their member clubs and they had no choice but to investigate. and of course refuse to name which clubs.

Fully agreed, though he’s just the fall guy really isn’t he?

Bit like Oswald and we know what happened to him.

This soft signal stuff is getting people carried away.

There is no evidence either way. We are as likely to get found guilty with a relegation than to be clearer, possibly more likely. You're setting yourselves up for a massive fall.

Stefan gave a very vague piece of information which he constantly qualified as something that isn't indicative of much at all, and now the rest of you are reading articles like they're tea leaves. It has to stop before you all turn into scousers.

Looks like you’ll need a bigger sword, Damocles.

Why possible more likely. What arguments do you have ? This post just extremely stupid if you cannot come up with some arguments about why it is more likely that we are found quilty.

The way the MEN has worded that is outrageous. When City are cleared of any wrongdoing I really hope they take some action against the MEN and other media pond dwellers....

But what happened to Colt Seavers?

Just joining in with the pile-on :)

Down with this sort of thing

This threads mood is up and then it’s down.
Then it’s up.
Then it’s down.
City going down with a billion in the bank.
City staying up with a billion in the bank.
Next week we might not maybe staying up or maybe getting relegated while staying up.
Hope that clears things up, maybe.
: )

Nobody can fly without using wings every now and then.

Not too sure about that tbh , my ex partner used those lady “monthly” towels “with wings” and remained a grumpy, cantankerous miserable twat for a full three months of the year, she certainly couldn’t do cartwheels in the day let’s put it that way.

Does a parachutist fly, or a rocket ship? I can take a flight of fancy any time I like, or jump off a cliff. It might not be a sustainable flight but technically no manned flight is for our lifetimes are finite.

On Brown street in town, is it still going?

In fairness they’ve articulated exactly what every other fan in the country now believes.
Tell a lie often enough etc also if you’re going to lie make it a whopper.

I firmly believe we are innocent and all this has been a carefully organised smear campaign by the cartel. However, the damage in the court of public opinion has been done, even if/when we are cleared.

It's funny that he had a pop at me the other week for posting negative "info" - albeit that it was probably bollocks - and now he's having a pop because I posted an article that, for a change for our media, is positive. While he's right that none of us have the full inside track that also applies to him too, yet he's telling us that we're more likely to be found guilty than not. Which - unless he's been tipped off about the verdict - is based on absolutely fuck-all.

your card is marked.
there's no escape for you now from his almighty sword.

I think there's a subtle difference in that UEFA's panel was clearly biased - and to give them a tiny bit of credit they perhaps had not much alternative but to find us guilty when we stopped co-operating - whereas the panel in this case ought to be truly independent to the point that it could be argued that they're equivalent to CAS

UEFA have recognised the failure of the Investigatory Chamber, revamped their procedure and removed M Leterme. Not only were they biassed but of course not independent or legally qualified, so I think you’re right to view the IC as having a much higher standard than UEFA.

Every other fan in the country now believes that because of media outlets like the MEN so fuck fairness.
