PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[Gorton_Tubster]

Yes you are deffo on one :)

The damage done to our club is immense. It can't be quantified obviously, but when our club see deals being cut for other clubs who have breached the rules, Everton, Chelsea etc, they are all benefiting from this 'protect the PL product' stance that is being taken.

Is there any sort of legal action we could take around that? Any precedent, ie along the lines of tyranny of the majority, where the majority are getting these deals but City are not?

I mean it's so obvious what the PL are doing, so stark. Even if they're isn't a legal precedent I hope we bring it to court and get it highlighted at least.

General consensus is no. We could be due damages if we proved the PL were acting in bad faith, but almost impossible to win

Not to mention we would effectively be suing ourselves as an equal member of the PL

Everton are the darlings don’t you know “original big four or five” don’t you know. Jordan , the cross eyed brother of Shane Warne (RIP) thinks Villa are a bigger club than city - a club with one PL title in 120 years - without an FA Cup win since the 50’s . It’s all about narratives set - as you can tell, I’m fucking on one tonight !

Just an appreciation of "the cross-eyed brother of Shane Warne"

Headline of an article on MSN

"Man City to be hit with EIGHT seasons of punishment"

Then buried in the article were the words "if guilty".

Yesterday it was an article attributed to Paul Scholes.

Why is it taking SO LONG to release the findings?
Buried in the bottom part of the MSN site was an article attributing the delay to the lawyers - coining in their fees. Makes you wonder.

Is non cooperation not answering the phone, or emals, or not giving them stuff they ask for?

it's a bit like when you drunkenly or e'd up sort of got off with someone one night,
and they gave you their number but they regretted it the next day because you'd already sent loads & loads of messages,
so they gave you the silent treatment,
but you kept on sending messages to them, not taking the hint.

But it could be worth a lengthy litigious process where we over inflate the accusations before leaking the stories.

Is Howard Webb still having an affair with Masters?

OK, I’ll hold my hands up and say “guilty as charged M’Lud.”
Alice has declared us guilty……

II her own words she says she "Tried to simplify it", when you get the genius that is Alice dumbing things down for her audience you know you're pretty much fucked :)

Ooh I see what you did there !

 

[jaiguruKun]

My gut feeling now is that we'll find out the decision and sanction (hopefully only on the less serious charges) at the same time in the summer.

Maybe it suits the club for an end of season announcement, due diligence on both sides in dotting the i’s and crossing the T’s suits both parties ? Will an announcement tomorrow improve us on the pitch ? Or maybe have a negative effect on the team, and more importantly Pep on a day to day of fending off constant questions about the “result”. The club will do what’s best for us , and I don’t see any real benefit in a side show of gigantic proportions being focused on our manager every single day tbh.
Us as fans see it completely different, for obvious reasons - we want blood , and plenty of it , Khaldoon is a very different kettle of fish however - he will see a result as a result , no matter how and when it finally gets announced.
Pep and the team first for me , the rest will be delicious when it all unfolds.

How does that affect our transfer dealings over the summer, especially if agents are still asking for assurances & the word club tournament in America. Obviously what the club will know, will be different to what they can say in public, but if going off @BillyShears comments about City not had the verdict yet it will be extremely tight
