PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

Imminent Announcement (rev.), Day 3

 

[halfcenturyup]

With regards to co-operation, surely City provided the PL with all the evidence they were ordered to by the court. So for which period are we talking about? Presumably before that court order. But then didn't the court also rule that City weren't required to provide everything the PL had requested? Couldn't City argue that the court needed to clarify what had to be passed over to protect the club from fishing?

Luckily, I am no lawyer, thank God. But I imagine the courts only decide on the facts in front of them. And maybe it suited the club to have a degree of ambiguity?

But I suppose the question as to whether the information requests referred to in the allegation were in the scope of the rules or not is what was discussed in the hearing.

I thought it was pretty obvious we'd lose the no cooperation charge due to us not cooperating!

City have always maintained we did cooperate.

 

[manimanc]

Well he won’t be presenting it at the etihad!!

He'll have a full dipper kit on with the scruffy scouse twat carragher hanging out the back of him.

 

[City Raider]

Well done night shift. Grab some sleep, we’ll wake you if anything happens

 

[halfcenturyup]

That would mean the brain dead cunts had brought charges that were time barred under their own fucking rules.

I think there is no doubt they have done that on some of them, is there?

Has Mike Keegan been one of the journalists we’ve been briefing lately along with Matt Lawton at the Times?

The Sky update reads to me as though we’ve won the majority of the charges but may have lost some for non co-operation and are keen this is made clear when announced? The last thing City will want is breaking news declaring us guilty if we’ve only been found guilty of not co-operating.

I’m purely speculating here and have no other information. It just makes sense with the way the media twist things. It could also mean we’ve won the lot and some have been time barred which would be another way the PL could twist things to make it look like we’ve got away with it. Time will tell

Keegan has been one of the ones first with any developments on this story

Not sure if this has already been posted.
But article is from yesterday and says city are expecting a verdict in the ‘coming days’

I mean it’s probably best taken with a pinch of salt as they’re Reach PLC but though the coming days part was interesting.

After thinking on that Keegan tweet I’ve decided we briefed him having learnt our lessons after CAS where we won but lost the optics war. We are determined to absolutely clear our name.

Could be wrong but can’t be arsed dealing with negative energy.

Put it this way. In which scenario is it in sky's interest to not promote interest and emotive discussion on the topic of 115? As a media outlet who wants more viewers, more subscribers, and with it the ability to command more revenue from advertising, when would they be hesitant to first and foremost appeal to the majority of their viewership, current and potential, and thus curb the appeal of their own product and own potential earnings?

Either sky have decided to take a turn in positioning and view themselves as an aspiring champion of truth and debate, or there is a possibility that continuing on their current course of letting their employees and own associated third parties have free reign to air their fears, anger and hopes, is actually more damaging to sky and this requires a change of tact.

I think over the years it as been blatantly apparent that Sky are more than happy with their bond/relationship with a rags and dippers audience.
The rest of the country's fans are just added bonuses to them

Same article was on Football 365. That tells you everything.

Still find it bizarre how anyone can be hit with non-cooperation charges if they are found not guilty on the ACTUAL charges. Seems a really spiteful thing to push for if the defendant has been completely exonerated.

I might be wrong here but didn't Stefan say that not providing absolutely everything you have is a tried and trusted litigation tactic.

The two big drivers in the PL at it’s beginning were United and Liverpool and it’s helped drive Sky’s business for the last 30 odd years with all live top level English football being on their platform. Their coverage of both teams would make 1930s Germany jealous of their propaganda.

It certainly helped in the APT case as the facts were already out there.

From what I've heard it's the turgid gooner scum who have been driving this more than the other red bstards from the off . . .

Once the dust has settled on the announcement, Arsenals legal team are gonna find themselves a lot busier.

 

[HorlocksWalk]

Let's face it whatever the outcome the last ten years have been a blast, would not change it for the world.

it is strange, its up to the PL to prove guilt with the tools they have, asking the club to provide any evidence that could help them is more strange when its not a legal requirement, i suppose a bit like the right to remain silent at a police interview, once i got picked up by police for something i had not done and i chose the route of 'no comment', you talk it only works one way and its not in your favor, you say nothing and dont incriminate yourself then they have to prove with what info they have, you would be surprised how many people drop themselves in it by talking to much

Don't forget the Arsenal letter headed paper that the original complaint about us was written on. Also don't forget the 'cozy' little meetings that were held in New York to thrash out what Arsenal, ushited and Liverpool were going to do about City.
