PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[Blue Tooth]

Only the lazy and / or stupid would take Pep's comment the wrong way.

In other words...most of the media?

Don’t know if anyone has already posted this but here is an alternative view from, of all places, The Sun.

City owners arguably the most loved in football, jealous rivals should pipe down

IT HAS always been the most tribal of sports. One where the mood of an entire week can be shaped by 90 minutes. Eternally driven by emotion. And over the past few days we have had further proof of …

Just a normal occurrence for some of us…

A prized rarity for others.

I could actually see Spurs being the biggest mouthpiece for the nasty nine. When Pep mentioned Levy it was because of this, or that he wouldn't play ball with the Kane transfer. Either way, Levy has definitely done something to piss us off

I'm sure someone can find a gif of a crowd pushing someone who is reluctant to the front of the group who then shits it looking at what he's facing.

Liverpool dodged a £50m FFP bullet with their write off on a stadium development plan that never happened I seem to recall.

Without that ruse they would have failed FFP.

Not a single club nor company in the UK will not push every single law to the absolute limits operationally, not one.

Creative accounting is bog standard practice , like Starbucks who pay less CT than companies 100th of the size they are , creative accounting , loopholes in the main aren’t “fraud”.

Whatever the outcome, whenever that should be, one thing is certain. our rivals and the gutter press/TV will feast on it.

If we get severe punishment, they will say "The cheats have been punished as they deserve. The game will be all the better and cleaner without them".

If we get off with a comparatively lighter set of sanctions, they will be up in arms about how "dishonest crooks escape with a rap over the knuckles, and the PL has missed a chance to whack them good and proper".

But if by some chance we arecleared of all charges, or virtually all, the moral outrage will be deafening. Remember what happened after the CAS ruling. Should we get off, there will be endless screams of how we "bought" the verdict with our "limitless resources", and how unjust it is that the cheats prosper while the "noble" clubs soldier on bravely against our oil money. On Tuesday Henry Winter's article had the big headline "CITY MUST BE PUNISHED if found guilty".

I think it's pretty obvious where he stands. I remember after the CAS verdict his article was headlined "City being cleared doesn't mean they are innocent".

Nor is he alone in all this, I'm afraid. The cockroaches have already made their minds up.

Can anyone sum up the embargoed Pep stuff or point me in direction of a post done already explaining it?

Now that IS fucking fraud imho
