PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[CC1]

If there's not supposed to be a decision until March, how can anyone at the club already know the outcome though?
Are they just confident or do they get given the verdict months before anyone else?

The club employ our lawyers & barristers. I imagine therefore that our owners are allowed to discuss with them how things seem to have progressed. Everyone that matters will have a good idea of the likely outcome but will be restricted from “leaking” anything

Probably supremely confident due to the panel regularly saying to the PL lawyers "Have you got any actual evidence to support this case?"

“Everyone knows m’lud….”

 

[cheekybids]

Evidence? Who needs evidence? 115 says we must be guilty ipso facto.

I’ve seen that so many times today from Rags & Dippers.

Outside the University of Manchester Library there is a space called the quadrangle. It's a garden at the centre of the original university buildings where light illuminates 4 towered walls. It has a sense of history. Not far from these walls lie Rutherford's laboratory. Off the quadrangle lies a pathway that leads to the library, a more modern building. That pathway is paved with stone, at its end stone gives way to tiles, and embossed on a single tile is a metallic engraving of the number 115. I have no idea why it is there, or what it means. I walk on it every day and smile. Some say that Manchester City is God's own club and at times I do wonder.

If it is scrapped now, with it currently appearing to be stifling United, it will be categoric proof (if ever it were needed) that it was only ever a mechanism designed to protect the red cartel.

If it’s doing so well now (not one failure this time round) there would logically be no need to scrap it as it’s “working”, no?

This post needed this played just before it.

Even though the full report may not have been released yet, I think it was @slbsn who said that lawyers on both sides would now have a strong idea of the outcome. Naturally, they will be bound by confidentiality at this stage in terms of any media output.

It would be very difficult to understand the club placing themselves at financial risk with purchases of the scale we are witnessing, and contracts of this nature. Of course, the owners have huge pockets, but they are bound by financial controls within the game. Even with a decision to come, and a likely period for appeals and/or 'getting the house in order', it is hard to envisage taking nearly 200m of risk at this time without some indication of future status.

Lawyers had a strong indication as case started it was a total sham. Nowt has changed!

You’d think that wouldn’t you.

I panicked a little when the PL legal team allegedly set a piece of paper alight and made the statement that there's no smoke without fire. I really thought that would be their "If the glove does not fit, you must acquit" moment.

That's why I can't understand City trying to bail out united when we are now sweet with PSR and they are goosed.

The chemical element moscovium is number 115 on the periodic table with the letters MC. it was added in 2016, 2 short years before the Premier League investigation began. As a child Richard Masters had a Chemistry set (probably)
Coincidence? I think not. ;)

Bloody hell, I thought you'd made that up and was about to hail your genius. As it is, having got an "unclassified" in Chemistry O'Level, I can applaud your scientific knowledge.

Well, I did make the Richard Masters bit up :)

Phase 3 surely.
1. Sheik’s mega investment.
2. Self sustaining years, latterly profitable.
3. City become masters of the universe.
I am incredibly optimistic about our future, so much is good and the North Stand development with the hotel, shops, fan zone, museum etc etc. will support our ambition. Now, City, pay more attention to the fans’ needs, especially us penurious FOCs.

I was really suggesting all the c#nts haven’t seen anything yet.

We need to get Tom Hanks in for that one, it’s a sign of bigger thibgs

If City 'win' this case, are they entitled to recover all their legal costs, and from whom? It's going to be a big invoice

Occasionally you just unquestionably know which way the wind is blowing from the questions that are being asked, who they are being asked of, and also what questions aren’t being asked.

It’s important to be careful not to routinely read too much into these things, or to hold yourself out as a body language expert and accomplished psychologist, but sometimes you just know.

Be indirectly from the pl clubs and the pl sponsors

Really embarrassing article in the Guardian on online regarding Haaland deal basically what happens if City get relegated to the Championship league1 League 2 or National League. As far as I understand it the premier league don't have this sort of power even if the find us guilty which we're not, I'm sure they can deduct points ensuring relegation to Championship and no more. The way our club gets treated by the media's a fucking disgrace and the history clubs fan boys suck it in like a dry sponge.
