IF we were to be found guilty of the serious charges a transfer ban would be the least of our worries!The IC can impose any sanction (inc transfer bans) it sees fit. And the EFL frequently ban teams from transfers so doesn’t need to be FIFA enforced. But I don’t see why City would get a transfer ban for these matters
Yes I’m sure they have reached a decision but will still be writing up the reasons. Don’t think club has the reasons if that is the questionDo you think it’s likely that the IC has reached a decision on liability yet or do you think that is still being considered?
Which we won’t beIF we were to be found guilty of the serious charges a transfer ban would be the least of our worries!
Will they know the decision?Yes I’m sure they have reached a decision but will still be writing up the reasons. Don’t think club has the reasons if that is the question
don’t think soWill they know the decision?
Thanks Stefan.don’t think so
Is your name Heathcliff by any chance ??It’s like me saying I want to date kate bush but only if I can find out if she is interested or not?
If she is interested , then I need to find some money to buy some moisturizer first and we’ll take it from there.
IPO next month?Decent interview in Sunday Times Business section today with the Etihad Chief Exec.
Certainly seems very bullish about City and how well we are run, ahead of a partial £5bn IPO of Etihad next month.
Lube, surely? ; )It’s like me saying I want to date kate bush but only if I can find out if she is interested or not?

What’s an IPO?IPO next month?
Doesn’t that mean Etihad have to give access to audited accounts?
If so, pmsl as there’s less than 0% chance they do that if there’s been any fraudulent activity :)
Can’t wait for the piss to start boiling
I can already taste the salty tears & hear the cries of it’s not fair
Wonderful news
And if we are it's a stitch up?Which we won’t be

To me it’s beginning to look more and more like the PL didn’t care about us being found guilty.But it's overwhelmingly likely that we won''t be, because it's overwhelmingly unlikely that the PL will be able to prove the most serious allegations. So for all intents and purposes, the question is irrelevant.
I think those authorities will just wait till the end and then review the data. Why would they give themselves a harder job?Brilliant post. Agreed 100%!
This is exactly the journey I took immediately after you simplified our situation during an interview you gave 2 years ago. It was a lightbulb moment which made me step back so I could take a global overview, where previously I couldn’t see the wood for the trees.
Cutting to the chase, an even more simplified explanation is if City had committed fraudulent criminal acts on the level being intimated by the PL's "accusations" NOT "charges", why haven't the police, His Majesty's Revenue & Customs, the Serious Fraud Office or Companies House descended on the Etihad & launched formal investigations?
This alone alludes that these accusations are piles of trumped up bullshit designed for reputational damage. If they were as serious & as damning as the PL & Stefan Borson make out, by law the PL would've been compelled to hand over their evidence to the authorities.
My guess is they've either done this already & the authorities have binned the lot after realising there was nothing to see there & it was just a footballing witch hunt against City, or they've privately reviewed the allegations & come to a long distant conclusion that after forensically inspecting our publicly submitted audited & certified accounts, we've done fuck all wrong in UK Law.
Regardless, I again have to question Stefan's motivation in all this, & the effect his hyperbolic ramblings are having on the mental & emotional state of many City fans.
To me it’s beginning to look more and more like the PL didn’t care about us being found guilty.
They just wanted to destroy our reputation.
They’ve enabled our rivals fans and the scum in the media to abuse and defame us with impunity due to the agenda against us.
I hope Khaldoon brings down the PL and that fat **** masters for what they’ve done.
I think those authorities will just wait till the end and then review the data. Why would they give themselves a harder job?
The data will show that there is no chance of a criminal conviction and the authorities will then drop it.
The only thing to disrail rail us would be a smoking gun. I don’t believe there is one.
