PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

What’s funny to me is that IF we were given a points deduction that effectively relegated us before a ball was kicked, it would be so freeing as to unleash a team of world class players in a way that would be otherwise impossible!

Teams would still need points off us, but it wouldn’t matter to us what the score was!

Can anyone imagine if Pep’s team talk was “OK lads, you know what you’re doing…go fuck em up and run up the score as much as you can! Let’s show these fuckers what they’re going to be missing for a year next season!”

City games would be the most entertaining game of the week, every week, if the gloves came off, and Ederson might even get to take a few free kicks and penalties!

Inflatable Bananas for everyone! The Party is coming to town!

When you put it that way - bring on the points deduction!
 
Anyone watch the South Stand show today on YT?

The host alledges from a message from his contact in the club, reason for the delay is down to this.

City have been cleared of everything, other than a non-cooperationwhich will result in City getting a huge fine + 3 points deducted.

City not happy and want full exonoration, or something where they get statements from all PL clubs stating they believe City to be not guilty (silly i know)

I was involved in an employment law matter once. Won't go into details but I was acting for the employer. Procedurally they fucked up when dismissing someone but had deep pockets and were quite happy to defend. We settled on the morning of the case but one of the conditions from client was to get a written apology from the dismissed person. They were willing to incur the full costs of a multi-day hearing if they didn't get it. Thought they were mad but, amazingly, they got it.

If someone lower down at the club knew that why not sell it to the highest bidder in the media? It's a huge exclusive.

Yeah I hear alot about cases like this and when they get settled.

Similar with criminal cases, morning before trials and a deal agreed

Thats what I thought was a little strange, could see the non-cooperation side being true, but the rest was strange.

There is no way there will be any points deduction for non-cooperation imo. A fine for sure, and possibly a huge one, but can’t see a sporting penalty for something which cannot be said to have given us a sporting advantage unless the particular circumstances are especially egregious.

i think non cooperation isnt a points deduction offence,financial only, if your correct then good news we'l get double back what we pay out to the PL in claims
 
I'm pretty sure that the only decision being ruled on is whether the evidence is sufficient find the charges can be upheld, and any punishment wouldn't even be up for discussion by either side until this, let along decided by this panel?

Therefore i'd expect any talk of fines or points deductions to be red herrings at this stage.

one thing hard to comprehend for me is I thought the charges of non-cooperation/compliance are contingent on main charges.

I mean:
PL to City: 1. you had an agreement with Mancini and paid over the top so Your books are cooked; 2. we demand You to provide us with an agreement,
City to PL: we have never had additional agreement with Mancini
PL to City: allright, we charge you with cooking the books and failing to cooperate

In this way its hard to be found guilty of no cooperation when we been innocent

Am sure they brought in rules so points can be deducted on certain cases! Yep another rule with them knowing down the line they could use it against us!

If we get 3 points deduction Chelsea should get 20 for what they admitted too!

Surely the panel just issues the verdict and then City either accept it or appeal it.

The above makes it sound like a negotiation over what City will/wont accept but my understanding is that horse bolted a long time ago.

Makes it more unlikely considering initial judgement is only on liability, with “punishment” to be heard later.
