PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[Grassland Blue]

It's also a day closer to us all being dead and the sun running out of hydrogen.

Ah, the inexorable march of time.
My point is that sibsn is probably the best informed of any of us and as soon as he becomes aware of any new developments, he will clarify and pass on the info.

 

[Champions again in 2012]

You'd think so - easily via the clerks at a set with barristers on both sides.

So I wonder what is stopping it then.

In my simple world its beyond ridiculous

 

[hilts]

It means "happening soon". But you are welcome to think I know zilch and as much as everyone else...

And in fact, as well as saying imminent, I have also made it clear that nobody knows for sure except the panel themselves.

I said you know zilch about when its happening because you dont, thats not an opinion or guess its the actual truth, you do not know when its happening.
If you want to carry on telling blues its close and disappointing them knock yourself out, its weird though.
But we are aware you don't know. You can quite easily make me look daft by saying when, but you can't so you wont.
Anyhow i have been told its imminent but be warned imminent could be 5 mins 5 days 5 weeks or 5 months maybe 5 years.
But its imminent :-)

Everyone can thank me on my inside knowledge when it happens, unless its 6 years then I apologise, was in good faith though.

Blimey Charlie, bet you go down a storm at weddings, children's parties, bar-mitzvahs and so on.. contact @ 'CaptainChuckle.com', 'A smile, a song, a dance'.. (!!)

(You're probably correct, by the way.. the result of this damned process will probably land the day before 'The Four Riders of the Apocalypse' hove into humanity's view.. at least we won't then have to put up with days and days of acres of negative media coverage of the outcome..)

"So you run and you run
To catch up with the sun
But it's sinking
And racing around
To come up behind you again
The sun is the same in a relative way
But you're older
Shorter of breath
And one day to closer to death."

I used to think that was funny as a teenager. Not so fucking funny more than 50 years later.

It’s not looking good…












For the co worker -:)

 

[wolviedinho]

City dropped from second to sixth with a revenue of 829m euros (£697m).

FIFA club World Cup 17% broadcasting revenue.

Overall, the revenue of the top 20 clubs went up by 11% to a record 12.4bn euros (£10.4bn).

Commercial revenues went up to 5.3bn euros (£4.5bn) from 4.9bn euros (£4.1bn) in an increase "driven by a shift in clubs' business models focusing on the increased use of stadia and surrounding areas on non-matchdays, an increase in sponsorship revenue, and improved retail performance".

Rags destroyed by city:

you went back 10 or 15 years, and you looked at leaky roofs revenue it was the industry leader," said Deloitte Sports Business Group lead partner Tim Bridge.

"If you looked at their ability to generate commercial revenue, it was the benchmark by which everybody then went to market and set their strategy. I don't think that remains the case."

What erm has happens to the brown envelopes Khaldoon? Ffs we used to pretend to have more money than this, sort it out. -:)

I have lots of information you are missing. And I don't need to rely on misunderstanding Google.

I literally wrote a published article (and numerous other explainers on timelines) as early as 2021 (before charges were even laid) about the glacial pace of such cases.

This is not a court process so timelines should not be as extreme but your reference above is start to finish - issue to trial to judgment. We are nearly 36 months to part judgment IN A PRIVATELY ARRANGED AND PAID FOR PROCESS.

So yes the process is taking a long time

I’d have thought our “irrefutable evidence” might JUST have shortened the process,but SADLY that doesn’t look like the case:(

 

[homerdog]

Because it has been imminent for quite some time. And remains so.

You know that statement is contradictory bollocks, don't you?

Hahaha that’s exactly where my mind went to reading PBs comment.

I also remember listening to DSOTM as an 18 year old and thinking it was cool, but as I rounded 30 the lyrics just hit so much harder and I expect when I’m 50 and warming my bones beside the fire it’ll hit me in another way again.

What’s better than a successful smear campaign?……..

A successful smear campaign that NEVER ENDS.

 

[domalino]

You know that statement is contradictory bollocks, don't you?

I think at this point “imminent” means everyone’s expecting it to drop any time now because the expected amount of time to write a judgment this big has been and gone, but no one knows when.

 

[Legalamb777]

at least we won't then have to put up with days and days of acres of negative media coverage of the outcome..)

Mate….even if tomorrow we get the news that Manchester City Football Club have been fully EXONERATED and also there is 100% evidence that the red cartel clubs are DIRECTLY involved in the besmirching of City’s reputation,oh….and there is clear evidence that a certain obsessed journalist(lol)is directly involved in the spreading of MISINFORMATION about us…….expect nothing but DAYS AND DAYS OF ACRES OF NEGATIVE MEDIA COVERAGE…..


That’s how SUCCESSFUL smear campaigns work.
Apparently we can’t and won’t do anything about it….

What an album that was,so we’ve had Ted Rogers,Corned Beef the afterlife and now a bit of Pink Floyd……if I conk it before you lot I’m coming back and haunting this thread:)

Are you talking topics, or actual events that have come and passed since the panel began deliberating??

Kinda depends if decades of legal experience and hundreds of conversations with people in and around the case leads to zilch understanding really. Others can judge. The precise date is known only to the panel as I have said but my statements are not guesses.

Believe what you want to believe.

I’d like to say thank you for your input to this thread. Having someone who knows how these things work has kept me a lot calmer about the whole thing. It is very much appreciated.

Correct
