PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[Churchlawtonblue]

I heard it is today.












Or was it tomorrow?

Tomorrow never comes :-(

 

[johnny crossan]

Emergency chairs day?

 

[Cellarite]

I have it on good information it will be on a day ending with Y

Legendary ITK status beckons if you're right.

FWIW, when that F Bloke fella announced that we'd been cleared, he also said the findings would be published at Easter.

I still don't understand why this Mohammed thing is so important.

Everyone accepts that ADUG got money from somewhere to pass onto City and that the money was then reimbursed from Etisalat to ADUG. So the accounting is clear and, as far as I know, true and fair. So who cares where the money came from? Exactly which rules have been breached by any of that?

I just don't get it. It's just looking for problems that aren't there because people don't understand the real issues, imho.

Fucking lawyers ;)

Edit: Anyway, we have just had a 7.7 earthquake here and I am dizzy as fuck, so maybe that didn't make much sense ......

Stay safe Blue.

It's reasonable to form an expectation of the verdict based on the conduct of the hearing but we can't announce anything without a verdict. I accept Pep's guidance on the timeline in preference to someone I don't know. I would like Pep, or someone to give us some new guidance, if at all possible

I said the same yesterday when I read the reports.

 

[Wretched Vengeance]

There's some interesting stuff in here....

Enjoyed that, but had to skip through most of Jackson's chat. Looks, and sounds a right baghead.

Looks like a bad one. Be safe.

I didn't watch it but I have never thought of JJ as a hostile journalist. His work has always focused on Man Utd because historically they were the bigger more successful club.

We bear Norwich (I think, it was) 5-0 once.
Jamie Jackson mentioned Manchester United no less than four times in his opening three paragraphs and once more, two paragraphs out from the end.
He failed to describe City's fourth and fifth goals, saying only, something about them completing a rout.
It wasn't a very long report by any stretch. (Maybe 1000 words, tops?). Yet, he ignored the two teams who played and banged on about another.
I was never inclined to take the prick seriously after that.

Confirms my feeling that the vast majority of people who "know we are guilty" think we are accused of having rich people in UAE with connections to one another sponsor the club.

I don’t seem to recall too many articles about Bayern Munich where their owners and sponsors seem to all sit on the Advisory Board. Where are the Athletic with that one?

 

[Len Rum]

The CAS arbitrators didn't conclude anything about Etisalat other than it was time-barred. Why would they? There was no point - it was time-barred. They did, though, include some background information which set out what happened and, as far as I am aware, made perfect sense from the way it was accounted for. Who arranged what and where the money came from doesn't seem particularly relevant, to me at least.

As for the 115, there is no time limitation if fraud or concealment was involved (well, actually, there is but the clock starts ticking from when the fraudulent act was disclosed), so if there was anything fraudulent in the Etisalat funding it isn't time limited, but if there isn't it is, if you follow me. Smart money is very very much on the side that there was nothing fraudulent in it. The Athletic's latest doesn't shift that dial at all unless we are all missing something.

I think that is it in a nutshell.

I thought that in civil cases there is time limitation on fraud or concealment?

Suppose he had invested in the rags, would not the dippers try to nobble them?

I don't believe so.
Reason.
They are the 'istree/entitled clubs, whereas City have none as you should know....

 

[PDBLUEMOON]

Barm…

 

[Irlamblue]

i suppose we will have to revert back to old single shelf trophy cabinet when they strip us of all the titles.
oh well....

 

[Blue Pete]

I heard it was yesterday and no one told us.
