PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

Me and my missus have eternal arguments about this.
I'm always telling her that our dog knows when it is walkies time (after i finish work) and gets exited and begins getting skitty.
She's always telling me this is impossible because dogs have no concept of time and that he's just pleased to see me.

My response is usually: "Well at least something is..."

Dogs do have a sense of time. My dog always comes to me around 12 for his afternoon walk. He knows what part of the day it is.

Being honest and forthright is not "talking us down".
We don't know if we are clean or not for certain regardless of how much FAITH we have in the club.

Don't be shooting the messengers eh?

We can't even get any news from the CM reps let alone the boardroom, makes you wonder why the fan base gets twitchy :)

I'll take a step back, but bear in mind, City haven't been found guilty of anything as yet.
They are owned by royalty.
They have been using top accountants and lawyers with their reputations potentially at stake.
And we have been slated by a very large part of the media and supporters of other clubs with nothing proved.
The whole thing stinks.
So please allow for me to be a little bit precious.
Thank you.

My dog got pissy at me on Sunday and Monday because we went for his usual morning walk an hour “late”. By tuesday he’d got used to it but Dogs definitely understand time, just not British Summer Time.

While you are correct in what you say that we dont know that we are clean, what we DO know is that these owners from day one have delivered on every promise they have made and have done everything they said they would do, at no point have they given us cause to disbelieve what they say, so if they say they are clean they have enough credit in the back for us to believe them and if you the compare and contrast that to the shambles of an organisation that is the PL who routinely lie and have been PROVEN to do so in another arbitration then of course its up to you who you believe but i believe where the evidence points.

Fair do's.
I am a bit blinkered on this I know, but it has dragged on and on for far too long and I just want it to end. I said at the start that City were innocent and I am not going to change my stance.

Of course we are clean, the accountants have been put through the washing machine now for 15 season.

The wait only allows doubts to creep in with no news.

The facts remain:

115/130 is too big now and impossible to prove either way.

The people involved don’t care enough to rig a system so a football club can win games.

This case is a real life social experiment in the age of disinformation and social media. Throw in football tribalism and corporate greed.

Most of us will be here to pick up the pieces regardless.

That's a good point. I could watch say west ham v wolves and my dog does not bat an eye lid. I watch city on tv and he knows my tension levels have risen, even if I haven't said anything yet, even if he hears me tut at something (nunes cross field pass) his tail is between his legs and goes upstairs.
 
This voidness means that the amendments are themselves void, because it is not legally possible to amend rules that are themselves void,’ they add.

To illustrate their point, City also delve into the accounts of rival clubs within the 88 pages, pointing out that Arsenal benefited from shareholder loans to the tune of around £259m in 2022-23, that Brighton benefitted from shareholder loans of approximately £406.5m in 2021/2022, that Everton took £450m in 2022-23 and that Leicester received £265m in 2021-22.

If this is true is it an indication that we have lost the tribunal or won it?
