PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

I genuinely believe that the desired outcome from the PL is exactly what has happened every day since they announced them. It's not really ever been about a specific punishment or end game from them, it was simply to wage as long a period of slander, noise and defamation as possible, using their pet media outlets to pump bile on a daily, weekly, monthly basis. I don't think they ever thought they'd get a final serious punishment, but they decided to progress anyway out of hatred, racism and pressure from the hateful eight.

As has been said many times before, the process was the punishment. The worst of the process is over now, it's fizzling out. Even the most bitter of bitter rival fans are somewhat bored of it now, and there's nowhere near the amount of "what about City's charges" noise that there used to be. It rears its head every now and then, usually when we have a good result or look threatening.

We (blues) all just want it done now so we can move on. Feels like the Premier League are happy for it to loiter for as long as possible because once it's gone away, there won't be any other sticks for the media/rival fans to beat us with.

Is today we are likely to hear about or if there ane any PL 23/24 PSR ?

My guess none of the current clubs will have exceeded but I wonder what the state of play is re Leicester which I guess is complicated because they are now an EFL club .

Just seen a clickbait headline that we're within hours of finding out our fate. No mention of course that this is just re. the 23/24 PSR checks. I'm beginning to hate online media with a passion.

That's almost 3 years since the actual charges were dropped on us all, it's over 7(seven) years (05/11/2018) since Der Spiegel made the emails public that started it all.

Quite.. and not only that, I'm still waiting/looking forward to reading the in-depth article(s) in the media analysing the findings of the investigation into who it was who spliced the two e-mails together to make it look like we'd done something wrong when the first lot of charges went before UEFA and then subsequently to CAS.. better not hold my breath for much longer, what?

Illegal documents are just that illegal.

Whoever produced that should be charged themselves.

It's strange that we as a club haven't gone for them.
 
People who are somewhat informed about the situation, are you confident we'll beat the charges? I'm not asking for wishful thinking here, but that the charges themselves is an inflated witch hunt?

I’m no expert in these sorts of cases, but I’d presume it’d be worded similar to CAS’s verdict? In that it could say that the Premier League’s evidence was “not established”. Just guessing there but if they can’t prove we’ve done it, surely it would read favourably to City. No doubt the usual suspects in the media will see one phrase, similar to “time-barred” with the CAS one and latch on to it like their life depends on it, as a way of suggesting we got away with it.

I don’t believe for one moment that City would allow them to use a term that would be ‘grey’ in nature and open to attack. I would expect us to challenge that before full publication.
The PL on the other hand would love that to be the way it is worded.

It doesn't really matter how confident anyone on here is, it's what the 3 man panel decide the evidence from both sides amounts to.
