PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[Blue Mist]

Khaldoon does it better

No, he does it the same. He just uses 5,000 more words

But Southampton admitted guilt. City have always denied the charges.

Exactly, but pig thick Nick doesn't understand that!

Isn't that goggle eyed prick Harris a saints fan?

Lord Pannick would have had his work cut out for Southampton's appeal when their CEO literally told Steve Gibson everything was true and they'd accept their punishment.

I can tell you what's in it now. Acknowledge team rebuild / Jan signings / progression of youth players. Womens team silverware, cup double, and congrats to Tarquins / Lego head.
No new info on 115
Pep seeing out contract or welcome to new manager.

You're welcome.

Literally never anything interesting in there, Khaldoon is a politician, plays to his audience.

This is exactly how people that have zero clue how legal process works think.

They think that the best lawyers should just win every single case regardless of what the facts or the law are (or in this case, EFL by-laws).

Again, this is another reason I don't take this nonsense seriously.

It's pure tribalism. Very few fans who are stroking their phalli at the prospect of our downfall actually understand the facts of the case.

why (if true) is that an 'upside' - surely nick the prick, you'd want justice and the truth to prevail? Unless you're just an obsessed gobby know-nowt grifting a clickbait living out of gullible mouth-breathers.

So many of these wankers in the press and the nobhead muggles repeating the bullshit from Talksport are going to look so stupid when we’re cleared.

I bet none of them have the integrity to apologise or acknowledge our innocence either. Most sports journalists and cartel fans are too fucking stupid to even eat without someone holding their spoon.

Never heard of this individual before today, and after scrolling through his tweets he comes across as a holier-than-thou dork, and I'm not just saying that because he clearly dislikes City.

Thousands of people like that on Twitter, though, covering every subject imaginable

I see what you're saying but the end of the hearing (from the PL's view) is when both parties complete their summing up. That was December 2024.

Even when the official verdict is published that may well not be the end, as there might be a further hearing to determine any punishment and/or either side could appeal, which would involve a further tribunal hearing.

Just think Dostoevsky wrote crime and punishment in under 2 years.

Not to mention a lot of these people aren't even real journalists. Most of the articles I've seen about the case are things like "MAN CITY GET VERDICT ON 115 CHARGES" where "verdict" actually means "here's the opinion of some random 'football regulatory expert' who may or may not be biased"

And Tolstoy published the first draft of War and Peace within a year.

don't mention the war! ;)

Proper work ethic in those days, probably the cold Russian weather played a part.

Personally, I find how long this is all taking kind of funny.

It's a constant source of rage for these dweebs who think (as I've said before) the question of whether Mancini was paid directly by the UAE wealth fund or by Etihad Airways actually strikes at the very heart of integrity of football. (They of course don't actually care - it's tribalism disguised as "concern for the game")

NOBODY would care about this accounting nonsense had the PL not made up some ill-conceived rules to "protect clubs from bankrupting themselves" - as if City were ever in danger of that!

The only thing thats taken longer than this verdict is my mrs telling me why im wrong which seems to be neverending
