Hudds fan in peace.

Now the dust has settled a little bit I just wanted to pop on and say that not everyone is against you. I have been non-stop fighting your corner to all and sundry since the news broke as, at least as far as I'm concerned, this is nothing but a shady attempt at a monumental stitch up, and it's pretty clear who the accusers are, even if it is being disguised under the Premier League banner...all the other bits of news that have broken since do nothing but underline that belief. At least it helped them get that little rat Greenwood out of the headlines for a bit...

Beggars belief to me that a club with a £500million deficit on the bottom line of their bank statement can throw shade at a club with zero debt whatsoever. Stinks in all honesty.

I would normally end something like this by wishing you luck, but you'll fight this and you'll win this. You'll never lose the particular tags in the eyes of certain people, but fuck 'em. I'll come back when all this is done and drink a pint of their salty tears with you all. Get into them City.

Great post.

All respect brother. Thank you!

No more pinches….

Anything other and it’s a climb down and I agree, Khaldoon and co’s words are meaningless.

What makes a pinch?

A fine for choosing not to cooperate beyond 2018 when realistically there was no further cause for investigation, while cleared of other charges with any real consequence?

 

[Centurions]

Yeah, no worries at all mate. I, too, get irritated by the '115 charges' narrative but it is something that everyone outside of City has seized upon to condemn us to hell. My own view is that this really only essentially comes down to the Der Spiegel hack with a bit of image rights/Fordham and Mancini/Al Jazira thrown in for good measure. The ignorant mob see it as a four-year investigation that took as long as it did because we committed 115 wholly separate offences.

The image rights and Mancini's contract all came out of the same hack I think.

I'm surprised it's taken some this long to realise Kevin Parker is a cockwomble

I agree. Why would the lawyers (and Barristers) working for the PL support 115 charges if they thought they couldn't win? Their reputation will be trashed if we lose. If the PL have only got the same quality of evidence as UEFA did then they will be totally humiliated. Very well-paid lawyers are usually very cautious when it comes to their own reputations. I think the situation is a lot more complex than we realise.

The same evidence got Uefa nowhere. Not one ounce of blowback from anywhere apart from the clubs looking to break away. You could also argue with this great legal team why are we heading to a commission? Charge us now!

No one cares about City and the premier know this. If they get defeated it will be spun how the media want it to be spun. “City did something but we can’t prove it”- erm cheats.

Not if those rules prevent you from running and growing the business you are buying in the way you want to. Note I am not agreeing with the post and the claim, just that it isn't illogical.

The rules that are already in place?

If you've got a problem with the rules in fotball governing the business side you're not going to invest regardless of whether someone's been accused of breaking them or not.

Out of the millions of emails hacked Der Spiegel highlighted seven. Five were cynically taken out of context and the other two were spliced together with malicious intent to change their meaning and significance completely. At CAS UEFA's 'evidence' consisted of photocopies of Der Spiegel's articles on the subject.

Hence CAS's mention of 'no evidence' no fewer than 11 times in their summary judgement.

Let's hope these are the ones they try to use against us.

I'm shocked, stunned, amazed, flabbergasted...
