PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

Basically the assumption before was that offences that were allegedly committed 6 years before the charges were brought would be time barred and so we could face no punishment for them even if we were guilty. @slbsn is now saying that there is no time barring in the PL disciplinary rules so we could be punished for them.

Liverpool hacking time barred ?

To put it in perspective, it's like when Franny Lee took over in 1994, the club still having allegations relating back to 1977!

We'd have been fucked if they looked back into the Peter Swales attendance jackanory files.

Thank God it was paper only then and no email trail to Halford.

Not that I’m an expert on any of this shit, but the fact we’re apparently the first PL Club to hit 1bn likes on TikTok would tend to suggest you might be worrying unnecessarily here.

It seems the TikTok demographic have little issue with showing their support for City.

Fact is - most of us on here are old cunts, who consequently give undue attention to the mainstream media. Which is dying on its arse, and is embarrassingly irrelevant to the next generation of football fans.

The proliferation of client journalists in the mainstream media means we get a skewed picture of the general views and opinions on our Club.

My son is 16, and has never even heard of Ian Herbert or Miguel Delaney or any of these complete fucking nonentities whose views get a bewilderingly disproportionate amount of airtime on here.

He never listens to Sky Sports News or Talksport, or gives a fuck what the Guardian’s clear editorial position on our Club might be.

He consumes his football content through Gaming (mostly FIFA/EA Sports), TikTok and Snapchat.

His mates are all the same.

And in that world, Paul Merson or Nick Harris’ opinions are totally irrelevant in the decisions they’re making about which Clubs they follow.

Just because we mostly choose to consume the kind of biased client journalism that is clearly editorially anti-City )given the Clubs who are ultimately paying for it), it doesn’t mean the next generation of fans are hearing anything like the same message.

Absolutely nailed it. Well said mate.

It wasn't "time-barred" as such, it was just "a long time ago" - a shrug of the shoulders, I think, rather than a legal assessment. I suppose the club didn't have a problem with that, otherwise they could have caused a stink. Then the PL just said the FA had looked into it without even starting a proper investigation, iirc.

Compare that to the energy they are putting into this case.

Looks a nonce.
Dresses like a ****.

Be a pisser if that’s the reason for the delay that the PL are balls deep in unpublished emails

A yet to be seen photo of Masters on the back seat of his car with Epsteins bitch

Note such evidence was enough to get Brian Potter his Fire Certificate

To be fair doesn't seem much energy is being put into it by anyone.

I think the PL just said the club's had sorted it out privately so they didn't really care either way.

It’s a shame that some of these TikTok users aren’t match going fans.

City’s challenge is to get them into the stadium and fill the new North Stand !

1 question to everyone.

If we are guilty, would it change how you feel about your support for City?

I'd be a bit pissed off that we didn't cover our tracks better but the rules were brought in to stop us buying the league, as someone has already said.
Rags, dippers, Arse and Chavs bought lots of trophies before we won the lottery and then ran crying to the PL when we did the same. And prior to that the media reps of Rags, dippers and Arse were moaning about Chelsea buying success.
I don't think Leicester spent that much for their 2016 title but Blackburn certainly bought the 1995 title and everybody in the media seemed to be celebrating their success, probably because they knew it would be short-lived.
Bottom line: The PL is run for the benefit of the broadcasters. Several clubs have many more armchair-based fans than City and neutral fans want to see the players they know well, so it's only natural that City are the prime target when strange, unjust rules are enacted.
I'm more bothered about the random punishment that will be handed down by a biased organisation than our guilt.
