PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

There's certainly plenty of soft signals to suggest that the club think it has gone well for them, but I genuinely believe they haven't had the official verdict yet.

I suppose the ruling is only technically 'received' after the clarification period has passed but the outcome is certainly known to both parties already and has been for months.

Personally, I think the truth lies somewhere in between. I do think we’ve been informed that we are good to go, but official ruling still hasn’t been completed.
 
The whole thing has been a sleight of hand to ensure the public and media focus is on Arabs putting money into the game rather than Americans taking it out. The rags being taken from an unassailable financial position to the brink of real financial problems and a crumbling stadium should really be the issue for the pl and regulators.

Khaldoon knows how the case has gone and is waiting like everyone else for the published final draft.

Covered so many times…

Stadium rebuild
Player transfers
Pep staying
No commercial partners have left us
Ethiad happy to float

Anyone who is claiming that the lawyers have not spoken to Khaldoon officially or unofficially is not seeing the full picture but following a legal framework which normally is very formal and black in white.

Powerful families like Mansour have eyes and ears everywhere.

A fraud case that can’t be proved is blah.

I agree with Preswitch, we probably found out few months ago.

My take is the outcome hasn’t been formally provided but we know the way the wind has blown.

Our movements in the markets strike me as a club who are very content nothing to worry about is coming our way.

That's the most annoying thing about supporters of the red cartel. They can't even see that their clubs are used as cash cows to fund the owners' other ventures in the US (mainly NFL and NBA) while their PL squads have gaping holes that go unfilled for multiple seasons and let their stadiums fall into such terrible condition like you mentioned.

I am intrigued on what Khaldoon has to say after it all. Its feels like he is chomping at the bit to be able to speak.... I just hope the media listen.

Not sure our media will be interested tbh if it means that Masters and the red cartel are exposed for their part in these shabby proceedings.

I mean who could possibly imagine that City ( with their arab owners ) were not guilty of these charges ?

I've heard a rumour that Stefan (slbsn) has heard the result but he's not telling us, because we don't deserve to know. It must be true because it came from my goldfish - and he's got very good contacts.

Hi Pete I have looked high and low for contacts for my goldfish as the specs he wears keep falling off

I haven’t seen Mullock confirm that story, but let’s say it’s true.

It shows he didn’t sit on it. He wanted to publish and would have published had he been able to. Presumably in this scenario it could be some sort of injunction.

But anyway, it most certainly wouldn’t have been because Mullock was protecting a source under some kind of moral code, as is the suggestion in this thread.

We also need to consider the order of magnitude of these stories and public interest. Contrary to opinion on here, the hacking story wasn’t that big, certainly in the context of the 115 case.

If Mullock had the scoop on 115 and he and his newspaper 100% certain it’s true, I dare say they go ahead and publish anyway and deal with the consequences later.

And if we’re at the point where it’s going to court with the premier league taking out injunctions against the MEN to prevent publication, you can bet your bottom dollar it would have leaked fast and wide.

If the MEN has this story, it gets published, so I don’t believe they do.

Last comment because I’m going to the pub.

Oh , NDA’S super injunction.
The independent committee is full of KC's, would a media outlet go up against them?

That all sounds great. Not sure how the red clubs are stringing it out or how you know that - clearly?

But yes undoubtedly the signs are positive, Haalands contract, the owners confidence.

Knowing is really just having enough good reasons to believe something is true and there are so many of those it's a cert we won.
 
For Mansour to act in such a flagrant way, namely spending a small fortune on players and stadia all the while risking the existence of our great club just to what? Make Abu Dhabi look good? Haha it’s preposterous.

Ludicrous and completely so fucked up.

This alleged “fraudster” is a criminal alongside:
Khaldoon
Soriano
Txiki

The whole board and any board we have a commercial relationship with which is legally binding and scrutinised to an inch of existence by everyone including the rags dinner lady -:)

Sure all that is actually fucking happening to wash money through a football club and win the odd tin pot.

Can I have a tin foil hat that everyone is wearing please?

The legal wheels will turn as slow as possible aslong as they can bill. The case did need a proper, independent, evaluation to read all evidence. So I can see why khaldoon is relaxed.

It’s business as usual because the red fucks have made all this up.

Maybe im stupid but why would the players that signed in Jan and the ones we are in talks with now sign if we were in dispute?

Like Wirtz? Some players will believe and some won't. All players who do sign will be getting a "pay rise." They take their chance. I'm very hopeful the major charges will not stand. I also believe the US cartel are behind it. In the meantime, we await a result that has not been published to anyone. If it had, it would be in the public domain by now.
