PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[Chi-town blues]

Sometimes you get handed a victory on a plate. Look how all this started…sliced up leaked emails. Taking advantage of smoking gun is not an admission of guilt. Why not use both? Clear ourselves in a tribunal and tell those corrupt cunts that enough is enough with the audio.

Sometimes you have to bring a tank to a gun fight.

That’s my thinking too. If we’re relying on a voice recording to clear our name then that just screams guilty imo. Or perhaps we don’t have total faith in the independent panel, in other words our fate is the hands of another kangaroo court.

Look at the timing, this is definitely about tonight’s game, Arteta’s comment encouraging some kind of payback, Howard Webb’s clampdown to control the narrative before any potential leak (i.e. the recording) and now this, we may or may not have a recording but if the conversation took place then they have something to hide, which it seems we are using to level things up before tonight

Yes you are right, we shouldn't have a bit of fun in case some other people laugh that us.

I mean sure, acknowledge someone wrote some fanfiction, have a laugh at the notion City have a dossier on the PL and move on….

Some people are taking it seriously though which is a scary proposition.

Just imagine, all you doubters, for one minute that this recording is genuine. No one, including City, would want this in the public domain, it would trash the brand and have all sorts of repercussions.

Now, of course we may well be exceptionally confident we can bat off the legal case about the charges we are facing, doesn’t for one minute mean that we couldn’t potentially use this recording as leverage to help get it put to bed that bit quicker.

I‘d also say that it wouldn’t be beyond the realms of possibility that hacking an audio link is possible either, who‘s to say we haven’t got that kind of technology available to our government level hierarchy?

Make of this what you will, but I've just been privy to some startling information that would blow the lid off PGMOL and the power brokers at the Premier League, if it became public. It involves a recording of a conversation between the match day referee and VAR official at a recent away match, a recording that is now in the hands of City.

It's my firm belief that City have compiled a dossier so incendiary, that the Premier League will have no choice but to totally exonerate the Club of any wrongdoing. If they don't, this is going nuclear. Either way, we hold all the cards and this explains why we're so bullish about the eventual outcome. The Premier League are on the back foot, and in my opinion, are currently lobbying the membership as to how best to quietly end the process. I have also been advised that at least one of the "Nasty 9" has had board level discussions with City, distancing themselves from the others in the cabal.

Pep's press conference tells us all we need to know. Watch it again, look at the anger and barely controllable rage in the mans eyes. His attitude wasn't based upon him being reassured about some poxy finances & bullshit charges, it was because he KNOWS exactly what is coming.

Sit back and enjoy the ride Blues.

Sounds a but dodgy to me.

Find this hard to believe. It’s not as if the owners have access to an intelligence agency which specialises in cyber security and monitoring is it. Oh wait….

 

[Maly]

Use some critical thinking guys…..

People biting on made up nonsense like this is just giving ammo to opposition fans to laugh at City.

I’ve used some critical thinking & if there is dirt on other clubs, I’m pretty certain we’d know.

Surely you can use your critical thinking & understand if there is dirt, we’re likely to know & why we’d be likely to know?

Dodgey info in here will be the new Clarkie, if nothing comes of this.

I think it's clear to anyone watching how VAR is able to 'script' a game if necessary... we have already had people like Scudamore saying the PL needs a strong United team, and they're doing their best to keep them, Liverpool and Arsenal relevant... money brings corruption, and whether we like it or not, the Rags and Dippers make the PL more money so it stands to reason they would do anything they could to get them back to the top.
VAR needed to be transparent from the outset... all grounds should have been made up to standard from day one - all with big screens and no VAR blackspots (like Anfield), and refs should wear a mic, as in Rugby, so we could hear the reasoning around decisions... maybe a camera in Stockley Park too.
