PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[BLUEinTheUSA]

What is this? Some sort of private members' club?

If it is, please don't impose a $1 million fine on me, with no appeal to the courts, for asking that question.

Request temporarily granted. Will have to confer with the other 19 members in the morning :)

Longshot
I hope one of these/any of these journalists, are outed to be Paedos

can only remember one of mine and he was a bloody Aussie. Have a vague recollection of him throwing the blackboard cleaning thing at me. Either that or a box of chalk

Myers?

I had George Myers too. Think he passed about a decade ago. Don't recall ever getting the violent treatment you did - mostly I just remember him tediously reading aloud every poem ever written by Phillip Laaaaahkin.

Not a long shot at all. Be even better if they were publicly accused first and everyone assumed them to be guilty.

I thought the police had warned you to stop doing that? Or was it you just can’t film it again and post it on YouTube?

But the cat enjoys it so who am I to ruin his fun?

The irony

Yep, agree with this (apart from the independent regulator bit). The PL have put themselves in a terrible spot by opening an investigation too quickly after the UEFA case broke. Now they are stuck with how to get out of it.

Politically, they can't now drop the case, especially after the press have whipped up the idea of fraud and misleading auditors, which I don't think is the PL charge at all btw. But if they let the case run, they are likely to suffer the same fate as UEFA.

They should have waited until CAS was finished, accepted the results on those issues, then decided if any of the time-barred issues, or any other issues such as, for example, how we accounted for shared services, image rights and so on, warranted a further investigation according to PL rules.

Shame.

Just a quick one, think I read they’ve given us two weeks to answer the charges etc, would that be an early get out for the PL ?

They are pandering to their masters, instead of having a backbone.

Be good to have a blue enforced check point Charlie outside the journos entrance. Collectively we’ve been a bit apathetic as a fan base, spoiled by success a bit. Feels like there’s a real ground swell that this could galvanise all of us and bring that fire back. Turn the Etihad into a hostile bear pit for the remainder of the season.

Fucking diddums. #prayfordaniel

I love that this week is supposedly ending with even more boiled piss and fume behind the scenes as when it started - the complete opposite of what they’d have expected or wanted.

All while the club have stayed calm and Pep has come out guns blazing.
