PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[117 M34]

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!

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

 

[Blue_Lightsaber]

Have you any last words, messenger?

Are we there yet?

 

[paulchapo]

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!

for me thats one of his best films.

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

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.

Yes he was.

A lot of people around the Clintons met an untimely end. Bill was particularly fond of visiting Epstein Island.

The famous war on drugs which was started by Nixon in 1971 and locked kids up for five years for possessing a bit of weed. That helped make millions for those invested in the private prison system. It also stopped people growing cannabis plants for health reasons, therefore making millions for the pharmaceutical industry. Then Clinton and the other crooked politicians had a free run importing drugs with impunity making more millions. Allegedly of course.

I've seen a number of headlines this week, from major publications, about massive points deductions and fines. Then, in the smallprint, beneath the headline that suggests that City have been informed, lurks the author of the information. When you realise that it is the usual social media sites that yearn for clicks and likes, you realise the desperation. It remains true that not one publication is headlining stories of what will happen with a declaration of City's innocence.

Would us being found guilty and heavily punished scare the tourists off?

:-)

 

[Omar the King]

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

I’d rather be a nobhead than somebody like Kieran Maguire, whose educated relegation fantasies are presented as fact. The truth is that there has been no official news about the 115 case since December.

Didn't work for Liverpool.

 

[mexico1970]

Didn't work for Liverpool.

When were they punished?

 

[Omar the King]

When were they punished?

Well, they got us all punished, but killing 36 football fans didn’t scare the tourists away from Klanfield.

It enhanced their reputation as the untouchables, if they'd have been demoted a few divisions that would have seen the tourists off.
