PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

remember arthur mann said:
Stefan was proven correct. Goldbridge was bullshitting. Not long after, he got the boot. Obviously to save his ugly face, Goldbridge said talksport was all scripted and fake, and he couldn't condone it, funny he does for the united stand. Plus he was missing his bedroom.

Brent di Cesare doesn’t believe a word Mark Goldbridge says so, neither should anyone else He’s all over social media very close to accusing City of fraud considering his former occupation he really should know better but his money obsessed greed in getting clicks gets the better of him

I think that the difference is that Conn and Shindler were City fans who jumped ship in the wake of the take-over, maybe with a bit of Islamophobia mixed in. Hattonstone is a a gadfly who is/was all over the place and I doubt if he was ever a genuine City fan.

He wrote a dreadful piece for the Guardian back in the day explaining how much better Rugby Union was that Football in every aspect. He cited Newcastle Falcons (lowest crowd 3,126 last season) as an example of what Football could be. He then added that Newcastle had England World Cup winner Jonny Wilkinson too! He failed to mention that Wilkinson had hardly played a game for them due to injury. Sloppy, ill-researched journalism at its worse.

Hattenstone hates us so much I’ve seen him quite a few times in away ends over the last couple of years.

I'd argue this remains relevant to the latest rehash of this Jaber Mohamed piece https://stefanborson.substack.com/p/conspiracy-theories-and-innuendo

This Athletic article may be the killer point that we'd never known before but I'd be surprised. I guess it could be an issue if someone gave direct evidence at the hearing that, say, Jaber Mohamed was never at CPC. But you'd be pretty surprised if someone opted to say that if it is/was public that he was.

Surprised the piece doesn't point out that Mohamed Al Mazrouei was also Chairman of Etihad Aviation until August 2021.

"Adding to the questions to be answered, it can also be revealed that another key figure at City, former board member Mohamed Al Mazrouei, is listed as working at the CPC as the organisation’s undersecretary.

This role, according to the CPC, saw him “determine the strategic direction and the internal policies of the CPC and supervise its implementation”, where he “reported directly to the chairman (MBZ).” He and Jaber Mohamed, at the time of the payments, were the two most senior employees of the CPC.

According to the UAE Cabinet’s website, Al Mazrouei served as undersecretary of the CPC from 2009 to 2022, and is now the Minister of State for Defense. He sat on the City board from January 30 2010 until January 1 2022, just over a year before the Premier League announced they had charged City with at least 115 breaches of financial rules."

Seems to me, the article fairly confirms (with a dose of innuendo) what we already know. The individuals involved in City hold very senior positions in the UAE. Not sure how that, in itself, is either news or moves the dial. But perhaps I am missing the key point. Not sure. Will read it again.

If this is the smoking gun—and I suspect it is—then that’s actually good news. They will never be able to prove it.
 
With regards to suing the arse off of all the media that have denigrated this club, does the landscape change if we win the case? Does or will the tone change, even from people like Magic Hat, but also the Youtubers who seem to slander us every day.

It will change if the club successfully takes just one of them to the cleaners. Which I sincerely hope they do.

Oh no don't mate, I've posted that after googling Jaber mohamed and cas.

It's all out there. The Athletic said this at the end of the story.

No evidence.

Translated as we're making this shit up.

He also holds several positions, most notably as the Chairman of the Follow-Up Committee on the Initiatives of the UAE President. This means that if the President wants UAE companies to sponsor Manchester City, it is his role to ensure that it happens. Moreover, HHMBZ was not the President of the UAE when HHSM bought the club; it was their half-brother HH Sheikh Khalifa.
 
If a private business deal is facilitated by a UAE state official, so what? As long as the private company has a contractual relationship with City and the money comes from the private company, I don't see that it matters.

I have only read the tweets so I don't know what is being alleged but it doesn't seem to me to be surprising or significant.

A bit of an attempt at timely leaking/mud slinging because the masters of Masters haven’t got the outcome they want (?)
 
IDK if I misremembered but I thought CAS - while noting the Etisalat stuff was time-barred said that the arrangement - though unorthodox - was not technically owner-infused equity since the 30 million was eventually paid back in 2015. This true?

Also, is it possible this Etisalat is time-barred as part of the PL case since the allegation took place in 2012 and 2013?
