PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

Anyone on here listened to the recent BBC Sounds 4 part podcast on these charges? My boss at work has recommended listening to it saying it is quite interesting and goes back in history.

First two episodes are well worth a listen, culminating in the Aguero goal. The last two episodes regarding the charges are very one sided and superficial. Basically it’s a reporter from Der Spiegel setting out the case for the prosecution and slagging off CAS.

What if has been leaked to certain parts of the media in the last couple of weeks, and that's why we are seeing some last chance saloon type articles, trying to have one final swipe.

Also, these clubs would be less inclined to leak if they know we've won?

I read an article recently (sorry can’t remember where) that claimed that Forest and Everton were only notified of their points deductions on the mornings of the announcements. Not sure why City would get greater notice

Soft signal alert. City continuing to send Simon Cliff and for him to speak on a matter of this nature feels like another sign of front foot confidence.

Wow, I’ve been in some meetings where bombshells have been dropped in AoB but that is in a different league.

The fact he was adamant his comments were taken down in the minutes too… that is very interesting and in my very basic view may indicate more on this coming down the line.

Get the popcorn, this could be fun.

He was openly, and on record, questioning some teams motives for recent voting patterns. Intimating that they were not voting for the good of the league, but for "other reasons"
..... whilst wearing these shit-kicking boots!

As another poster said. This could be the opening salvo for more serious accusations of skullduggery and treachery in the future. Watch this space...

If any journalist has a credible brief on the outcome then it’s on the front page of the next edition and breaking news banners on the website

Didn't say credible, just that they may have been given a 'feeling'

Might not be something they nail their colours to given that 99.9% of them have been blowing in the opposition direction for 2 years

Anyway, its all hypothetical

It's specifically Cliff who we've been told drew the attention of those attending such PL meetings in the past to the fact that City regarded the APT rules as unlawful and thus subject to challenge. We know from subsequent events that he clearly didn't say it for effect.

The demand for the latest comments to be minuted might be for effect, in that it perhaps demonstrate how serious he is. It certainly seems a decent bet that the statement might be picked up on again in the future.

Can someone explain the logic here as im not following it?

Why is sending our GC to the PL meeting a sign of confidence? I would have presumed the opposite in my head

Or maybe he's trying to say "If we go down, then we are going down with you lot, you bastards and sons of bitches".

If we indeed have to go down, then I want the entire house to be destroyed. Period.
