For these PL allegations to be true hundreds of people working for auditors, our sponsors, our partners, and within our club (like Pep and Soriano) will have had to turn a blind eye for 15 years. Why has no one come forward? Why were UEFA unable to find any evidence? Why has it taken the PL years to investigate and now they have kicked it down the road to an independent panel (which hasn't even been set up yet)? If they had any evidence surely they would have just sanctioned City. This is not a criminal investigation where the CPS makes the decision.
The reason nothing has happened is blindingly obvious...there is no wrongdoing. This has been an orchestrated witchunt from start to finish by our commercial rivals. This sort of corruption (that's what it is) is one of the reasons the Government (with all-party support) is still pushing for an Independent Regulator for Football which has now become one of our most important industries. The malaise is much wider than just the Super League fiasco.
