PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[CC1]

Did the PL actually offer City a deal though?

There’s absolutely no credible evidence to suggest they did - or at least not that I’ve ever seen.

Your second point is right though, and I did reflect that in my post.

They come across as a colossally arrogant and entitled organisation, so then being overconfident based on nothing more than their own lofty opinions of themselves would be entirely consistent with all that bluster and bravado.

An organisation that apparently employs very senior people with no discretion who just want to look “in the know”

 

[waspish]

They are frauds no nought on here when they say we getting the outcome on a certain day and they are frauds when they think they are clever using AI to make them look like they know! They don’t no one knows till it’s announced end off!

Wtf is a co-head?

What they should have done - if they really are SENIOR people in the PL - is say nothing. How senior are they because I would think that only the panel know the possible outcome at the moment. Not some executive with a loose tongue.
They really should be exposed for their lack of professionalism - so come on - name them.

No doubt all the PL justification for allegations will be allowed by our legal team and City if we get the results we want.
I have little doubt City want the PL to survive but in a different form.

Very senior individuals discussing a clearly embargoed issue with you, a person they don’t know very well, knowing full well you could go and leak that to the media?

Yeah, mate.

Senior people always acting with the utmost professionalism and propriety in all situations and contexts.

Yeah, mate.

My thoughts exactly unless the poster is also in a senior position in the PL :-)

It’s still 115. If they were that confident you wouldn’t repeat the years, you’d prove your case & win & then repeat.

That's nonsense, they would still have to prove we broke the rules in each and every year. Your notion potentially prejudices City by saying if they did it in year "a" that proves they did it in years "b, c, d".

It's when two women give you a gobble.

It's not a bad thing to temper our expectations slightly, just in case the judgement goes against us.

 

[blueste41]

Nope.

He shoehorns them in much earlier than that section.

“Ultimately, the Premier League is a commercial enterprise. City was the highest revenue generating Premier League club in 2023/24 (€838 million), at least €67 million higher than Manchester United, and so the Premier League may be pragmatic in the sanction it seeks”

Snide little suggestion that we couldn’t possibly have bigger revenue than those cunts. He sets the scene as being a rag right there.

Or it shows how we have overcome the once giant club? To me it's a snide little suggestion that we have overcome the rags as the greatest force in football.

Well as they’ve got loose tongues - no reason why you should protect them. WHO ARE THEY?
The PL is run by the 20 clubs - so who told you this?

Ffs Same old garbage
Every Day regarding all this 115 crap
Why don't you all just stop and chill
Whatever anyone posts on here I doubt is going to
Push any Decision Through Quicker
Some of you really are obsessed!
There's nothing to do except wait

If you genuinely think I have any interest in naming anyone, you’re wasting your time.

I couldn’t give a fuck if some bloke on the internet believes me or not because I haven’t provided names.

Take it or leave it - that’s up to you - but you shouting about it because it doesn’t fit the prevailing narrative isn’t going to make it any less true.

No m8 it's fact

If Winchester was a poet, he'd be fired ;)

Interesting that all of the implications appear to relate to us being found to have breached the rules

Yes. A little gratuitous. Nothing at all about the standard of proof and how difficult it will be for the PL to meet it but 1,000 words on the implications if the allegations are proven.

Interesting that he specifically says there may be a connection between the APT and the 115 cases.

Also interesting that he didn't mention at all about this being an award on liability only.

He either knows something or, more likely, he doesn't know anything.

Also why do all lawyers look like complete cunts. Present company excepted, of course.

It’s not nonsense they could prove the charges from 2009 & then charge us again for 2010 & so on.

 

[Eric Hitchmough]

Exactly - that was one of the points I was making in my post.

I’d expect them to say nothing, and come out with some bland, anodyne statement about waiting for the verdict before passing comment.

They didn’t do this.

Did you tell them you’re a Blue?

Not shouting mate. Just wonder why you’re protecting such a low life. There aren’t many senior people in PL. Wonder if any of them read this forum?
