PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[Blue Tooth]

Only this.

"The Club welcomes the review of this matter by an independent Commission, to impartially consider the comprehensive body of irrefutable evidence that exists in support of its position."

 

[MCFC1993]

City are pretty much saying 'bring it on, we've provided the evidence you asked for, an impartial judge will side with us'.

Short and to the point.

 

[BringBackSwales]

IF we are guilty, and IF we are subject to the same degree of scrutiny as other clubs, then we have to take our punishment. I find it hard to believe we are that bad, but if we are then we’ve got to take it; if we aren’t then we need to respond and react very professionally and very aggressively.

If we knew this was coming we should have strengthened the squad massively like Chelsea did.

Irrefutable evidence wording again used.

I thought it was a good statement, as it was never going to have detail.

Surprise... welcome the opportunity... but not attacking/criticising directly.
Struck me as being a fairly confident response, although I guess the alternative would be untihinkable in big business.

The PL has been under pressure for years from certain members to charge us. Now they finally have but just before a white paper on independent football regulator seems suspiciously timed.

Part of me thinks we’re in deep trouble due to the sheer volume of charges. Part of me thinks that the sheer volume of charges is the PL throwing enough crap at the wall hoping some sticks.

 

[Brad mcfc]

Well that statement has perked me up a bit.

Fuck united, fuck liverpool, fuck arsenal, fuck spurs, fuck the league, fuck uefa, fuck fifa, fuck the media... fuck the whole fucking lot of them

You forgot Fergie ;-)

If city is deducted points, Chelsea should be relegated.

Why you trying to fuck over my new and old team?

 

[Tb1981]

Timing is everything.

Guess which clubs are currently trying to attract a buyer...

Arsenal used to pay image rights off shore going all the way back to Henry.

They have thrown everything at the wall to ensure something will stick and a punishment forthcoming.

If I had to guess, they will include a massive fine, points deduction (for next season) and a longer transfer ban.

They want us out of business, and now making the Champions League will be a part of that.

Note most of our titles (especially close ones to Liverpool) won’t be relevant.
It’s purely a mud slinging exercise by yanks.
What about Chelsea!!!
