PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

I find it unfathomable. What our defence is crying out for is a physically imposing & rapid player. If only we had one.. Oh no my mistake, we have khusanov who ticks those boxes.. Best not play him then eh..
It's not off thread, It's crytic, but subtle;
We won't be playing Khushty until after the verdict is announced!
 
There’s still time to sell Pannick, the window doesn’t shut for another week.
Meeting with the Director of Legal Services.
DoLS: “ Pannick, I shall be honest with you. We are selling you because you are too slow. We have been waiting for nine months for a verdict. Why have you not chivvied up those judges? Prestwich Blue tells us you have drunk 23 bottles of Haut Brion on expenses, that’s reaching Jack’s level and we rusticated him to Everton. We have an offer from Grimsby which we have accepted. They wanted a buy back clause but we got out of that, thank god.
You see, there are better lawyers on Bluemoon than you: they have all the answers including our best line up vs Brighton.
So we’ll issue the usual guff thanking you for your service and wishing you well. Don’t take it literally.”
Pannick: “Ok guv. Can I clear out my locker? It’s empty bottles mainly. As a matter of interest, how much did Grimsby pay?”
DoLS: “ They gave us a lawn mower.”

STOP PRESS
Pannick joins Grimsby in transfer coup.
“It’s a dream come true. I’ve always wanted to come to Cleethorpes” said a delighted Pannick.

Yup! And btw, when I read your song suggestion, the melody of the old folk song/spiritual hymn 'Michael Row The Boat Ashore' (which was one of my Old Man's favourites!) came to mind, as in:

'PSR has f**ked your club/ Aston Vi-i-i-lla!/ PSR has f**ked your club/ Aston Vi-i-i-lla!'

Something for the 26 October at their gaff, or next May at ours?! And of course, 'PSR' can be interchangeable with 'FFP' too..!
Two could be combined - your Hymnal first, followed immediately by my bouncy Buster Blood Vessel-inspired refrain.
 
It's beyond ridiculous, everybody just wants it over whatever the outcome.

I agree. Actually my support of city hinges on the decision.

I like to keep a strong set of morals and if it was our rival clubs found guilty of this, we would be be all over them for years of cheating. We would want them out of the game. I think I'd have to keep that same sense of morality when it's closer to home.

If we are found guilty, I'll be extremely ashamed of the club because we always considered ourselves "good" club. It would be hard to lend my support to an outfit that's breaking laws.

I'm sure I won't stop being a city fan per se, but I think my level of investment in it will no longer be there. Maybe time will be a healer but I'll be heartbroken if we are guilty, especially knowing how we would view other clubs if they were in that position.

I think we'll beat it though or at least come to some settlement where all parties come out of it not looking too bad.

I would struggle to disagree more with this. If we were talking about long established rules that existed for a legitimate purpose, your expectations of the club might be reasonable. But we are not. These rules were invented and put in place by a protectionist cartel with the sole intention of stifling the development of City, and anybody else who might challenge the established order. Not content with that, the goalposts have been consistently moved to make compliance for us more difficult, whilst clear transgressions by the cartel have been ignored and interest free loans have been deemed legitimate.
You reference being ashamed if we are guilty. I feel the other way around. I obviously want us to be exonerated, but the shame would have been if we had meekly just accepted the bent status quo, rather than going for it as we did, and winning everything.
