PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[halfcenturyup]

I've been hearing this sort of stuff loads of times on here. And when Liverpool won the league too wasn't there going to be some great reveal or something. I'm not doubting Dodge who I know personally but as you say, it really would be clutching at straws to get too excited about this sort of chinese whispers/rumours stuff. I'm not even sure that it would change much even if this recording did exist.

This is all true, but it's been a fucking awful week and if this lightens the mood a little by letting us have a bit of fun, I am all in favour. Even if it is, in fact, quite possibly, complete bollocks.

Yes I remember rumours circulating that Liverpool's title win was going to be tarnished but nothing happened.

At some point, City need to reach out to NYT about this guy. He clearly has an issue with City, and his latest piece is absolute fucking nonsense which proves why nobody trusts the papers:

"The sense of paranoia around the process only grew when an independent forensic accountant hired to assist the investigators took his car in for service and discovered a tracking device had been attached to it. There was no evidence the bug had any connection to the City case — the accountant was working on several cases at the time — but its discovery was known among others involved in the investigation."

The Premier League has accused its serial champion of using misleading accounting, secret deals and legal obstruction to sidestep financial rules. The club is digging in for its biggest fight yet.

Just dramatic licence. It doesn't say anything at all really.

Ok so now it’s bollox and the fun over. Back to doom and gloom surrounding the premier league case.

Spot on . I’ve been saying for a long time , wire the cunts up . It’s not a rocket science.

I’d use of these to wire them up.

I'm sure that the information about us having information at our disposal that would be damaging to the PL and/or rival clubs within it has been posted in good faith. However, weren't similar claims posted when UEFA was pursuing its investigation of City, too? Nothing ever came of that. Surely better not to get too excited and just wait and see.

There was a few stories on here going about. Liverpool directors being carted off in handcuffs was one off them.

Sounds mint. When is it opening & where’s it being shown?

I’ll bring the popcorn

If you have a top secret dossier full of kompromat, you don't wait until you've been very publicly charged with 115 offences and had your reputation destroyed in the media before using it.

City didn't get any warning of the charges though, did they?

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 like rubbish to me.
