PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[mancity2012_eamo]

First time I’ve seen the word ‘Innocence’ in the media.

 

[bluwes]

Did anyone else hear the rumour at the match Sunday of a 20 point deduction ruling?
I only heard it was told to a leading member of one of the supporters branches but I've not seen/heard it anywhere else since so I presume (pray) its just nonsense.

Is that all you’ve got. FFS

Well it's gone from a 40 point deduction to 20, so that's a result

If we’d been top we’d be “getting” 40 pts. They make it up as they go along.

 

[paulchapo]

Honestly not trying to catch anyone, just something I heard.
If it was true I'd have expected it to be all over this forum by now.

I heard even worse. We're getting absolutely hammered, especially financially and given the rags are on the bones of their arse a deal has already been agreed with scruffy Jim to amalgamate both clubs. The new club will be called City United and we're going to sell our ground and complex, pay off the council and put the money into regenerating Old Trafford for both clubs to share.
Don't shoot the messenger!

So the rags being 15th is punishment enough for breaking psr

The caf strikes again.

Except for a bus claiming we are the FFP champions, there's nothing new under the Blue Moon—just the same boring tax lawyers and accountants rebranded as football finance experts, enjoying their 115 minutes of fame, guessing what we're accused of, what evidence the PL might have, and what punishment we might get.

And don’t forget the know nowt nobheads chipping in with bits of nothing. I’m looking at you sir

Have you any last words, messenger?

I blame scruffy Jim and that Omar bloke cutting my all I could eat lunch at Carrington, the malnutrition has made me a bit delirious.

At least my half and half scarf will come in handy again

Are we there yet?

Good job you got it cheap, they're rocketing in price since I leaked the news.

Everytime I see other fans talk about our "punishment" I always think of a scene in the film America made. Tom cruise plays Pablo Escobar pilot and all the authorities had caught up with him. He was in court an expecting a severe punishment but the judge handed down just 200 hours community service! All the authorities were gob smacked, so was he as he walked out of court.
I know it's slightly off topic and if you haven't seen the film it won't make any sense.

But when we receive a possible fine for possibly non cooperation then there is going to be alot of gob smacked people!

Headlines, Headlines every where and not a drop to think.

Maguire, backed apparently by City loyalists at the MUEN, has but in a better bid - 100 points to ensure relegation! Has ayone read the Liverpool Echo's impartial take on this?

He played Barry Seal, who was piloting cocaine into Arkansas. Bill Clinton was governor at the time and was involved in getting him out of a few tight binds. There's even a scene in the film where Seal has been arrested and looking in real shit, when a phone call from Clinton gets him released, to everyone's shock. Real dodgy people the Clintons

Those supporters from othe clubs not on this site will have little understanding of City's position throughout. The outcome is irrelevant to the majority of English football clubs who have little detailed understanding other than posted in MSM. The narrative is dominated by certain parties with only a few clubs and their supporters driving the agenda. It is starting to bite them on the bum through entitled selfish greed.

Hoist by their own petard comes to mind as top clubs are forced to play more fixtures and suffer because of greed whilst "lesser" clubs prosper due to their less workload.

I can see other unforeseen outcomes arising. We already have a post Busby rags demise now repeated after Ferguson. Meanwhilet City continue on their unabated upward trajectory. Yes I am optimistic on the outcome being a result for City.

Wasn't Seal bumped off in the end? Clinton was, allegedly, deeply involved in importing drugs himself and Seal was his main man. Like a lot of people working for or around the Clinton's I believe he met an untimely end.
