PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[DJBusinesscake]

It was one specifically about the 115 charges

I see, what's your thinking then? They've been forced to remove?

I see, what's your thinking then? They've been forced to remove?

Or they’ve seen which way the wind is blowing and/or have been advised to.

It does feel as if the planets are aligning somewhat.

I am old enough to remember the day when a popular newspaper headline of weather would read something like

"Europe cut off from Great Britain due to fog in the Channel"

Let's hope the reality check you aptly encapsulate is happening.

Man City's £1billion splurge signals end of historic Premier League charges case

Manchester City are set to complete a number of major signings in the January transfer window, including Lens centre-back Abdukodir Khusanov and Eintracht Frankfurt forward Omar Marmousch

Mirror are changing stance in the outcome now.
However, the intentional misleading BS about the £1bn spend still shows it’s nothing more than a jumped up, spiteful, Liverpool fanscene.

Such bullshit writing from journalists. “Being seen as evidence of” means “the blokes in the office and on twitter reckon”. And the analogy of someone buying a rolls royce the day before being sentenced to prison has never come from these mysterious “legal circles” they mention.

Have you listened to what he said, rather than reading the somewhat misleading headline?

And whilst your last sentence may be correct at least he’s addressed the elephant in the room.

Yes I did.
He said there will be no rules, which isn’t true

At the same time though, I wouldn’t be surprised if the PL expect to lose and are leaking information so when the findings do drop it softens the blow for them.

Like transfers we've included staff contracts;)

Thought it was 350m

 

[Centurions]

Not been on here for a while, just reading back through few pages, am I correct in assuming that the spending spree is that City are confident they will be cleared and not a transfer ban coming our way, so getting all deals done asap??

Aren't those two statements contradictory? If there was a transfer ban incoming then yes, we'd probably try and get everything done ASAP. There isn't one coming regardless, we just need the bodies to rescue something from this season.

 

[Stoned Rose]

He's a goodeggmoustache that lad

Think that’s German for bukkake.

 

[Stoned Rose]

there will be a coordinated media response if we are found not guilty. how PL messed up, how they didnt do their investigation well enough,how they didnt look for evidence in the right place, how their lawyers fucked up, how the panel had ties to City, how Masters is a weak leader for PL, how PL needs even stronger FFP going forward.

very little will be about City not being guilty of the charges. probably two articles from M Samuel vs 1000s written with vitriol of getting away with it

most will be about how PL leadership not fit for purpose.
they are not good enough if they couldnt punish City severely. this will be the crucial take.
that PL needs a leadership who can catch City.

This will need a very robust and unequivocal statement from City.

If the PL has anything about them they will put one out backing us up.

Those zero hours ones no doubt. ;)

 

[Stoned Rose]

There.

It’s dare.

 

[doobyedoobye]

If the result of the case it yet to be communicated why would we have any indications that we have been cleared..?

 

[Gingers Dad]

Sounds to me like Ian Ladyman is an utter ****.

Legal circles? Doesn't magictwat claim to be a lawyer?

I had to read it just to see how they come up with a £1billion spend, throwing the investment into the Co-op Live into it, (which was CFG, no?) is pitiable.

The PL cannot enforce any transfer bans.

 

[Stoned Rose]

Yes I did.
He said there will be no rules, which isn’t true

What he means is there will be no rules that are able to fuck city up.

So you know when ur missus is in a mood with u, u dont know what uve done or why but theres indications, its like that

So, you're not expecting anything from the PL then?

If the result of the case it yet to be communicated why would we have any indications that we have been cleared..?

Because we were in the room with them?

Does this really need explaining?
