PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[ManCitizens.]

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.

It’s baffling. Imagine being charged with murder, getting a not guilty verdict yet still getting sent down for 5 years because you answered no comment in interview.

Sky will put their negative slant on proceedings and the outcome as they always have done.
You only have to look how they are with us.
Hayley Mcqueen nearly in tears when she had to announce us as team of the year. Nostrils harris and his biased and hateful sneering reporting on everything city. That solekhol bellend and his half arsed delivery on any news with us. The ex red cartel players wheeled in to air their "professional " opinions that turn into a city pile on. The way they turned the Bernardo/mendy joke into a witch hunt, how they reran Sergio/adebayor/balotelli tackles on a loop every hour until they got a ban.

The list is endless.

They disrespect us all the time and make mountains out of molehills whenever we're concerned.

But I didn't know til this day it was Barzini all along

Forgive my ignorance but who is Barzini?

Forgive my ignorance but who is Barzini?

And more importantly, does he have pace?

 

[journolud]

Holt in the Mail, behind their stupid paywall, seems to be resigned to us winning judging by the headline as he tells whover is willing to pay to read his shite who the real winners are. Bad news for football apparently.

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

how may times do we have to see the rooney goal , the cantana goal , how many do they show of our goals in our treble, four on the trot titles, utter shite now sky, gone down the nick rapid.

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.

New Man City 115 charges verdict imminent - Resignations, relegations and fines

Manchester City are expecting a verdict from the independent commission in the coming days following their legal battle with the Premier League

www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk

Random people on here have said that it's coming in "the coming days" for months. Did you find them interesting?

 

[Sheikh rattle and roll]

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

Not necessarily true though - you could talk and offer an explanation that points to someone else or your innocence
A no comment could on occasions lead to a charge where an explanation would not

 

[blue b4 the moon]

The soft signals seem to be ramping up don't they.

As a stand alone one it means nowt but, the narrative looks good from numerous angles unless of course, we're all reading too much into bits coming out.

Have we got someone on blue cone watch at the ground?

Sounds like he's been getting pointers from that **** Klopp. Fucking hell, I remember in the early days of the takeover that Hole was one of the few who was writing positive articles about us. I don't know what's happened for him to flip so much. Maybe Khaldoon has shat in Emily Bishop's cornflakes or something.

Yes, along similar lines to trying to prove a negative. It's saying, you didn't give us anything that would incriminate you, therefore you haven't co-operated.

 

[Scoobz3]

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.

They are only worried about being sued ! Perhaps the Club has said that once the verdict is out they wouldn't be taking any mistruths lightly and who can blame them when you look at the APT debacle and how much we have had to endure over the last few years

The article says that whatever the outcome, "nobody wins". It mentions quite a lot about how the big clubs (not just City) have ruined football. It's mostly about what happens if City win, and ends with just one token paragraph about us potentially losing.

"And if City ‘lose’? Well then we are into a world of asterisks and points deductions and glee from rival fans and the staining of one of the greatest club sides we have seen in the English game and punitive lawsuits that will last for eternity.

Whenever ‘imminent’ turns into now, both sides will claim victory and neither will be able to grasp that they have lost."

 

[Centurions]

Purely a gut feeling but the part in that email about ‘when the verdict drops in the next month or so’ feels more like ‘it’s happening very soon but we don’t want to make it obvious that we’ve already been told the outcome’.

To me it feels more like "we have no idea when it'll drop but given how many solicitors letters we've had in the last year, can we try not to cost us even more money please".

Oliver Holt with his I watched City back in the day quotes, apparently when we were a real club. What a ****, he hates City.

 

[Sheikh rattle and roll]

Imagine if we win full stop
This will be all forgotten about in a few weeks
What will the papers print then ?
If we lose it will go on for years
The single most important thing this season and possibly in our entire future - fingers crossed

Have you read the non-cooperation rules at all? They are so far reaching and open ended as well that if we don't pick up by 3 rings then we're getting charged. Now they're rules that do need challenging in the courts.
