PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[Jacko1956]

I have nothing against City, as I have said many times over. I hope this is ends up with City cleared of any wrongdoing. Just saying, reading the statement from the league it seems more serious than whatever nonsense had UEFA cooked up to take your to court a few years ago.One

The first sentence of the statement practically says the club has been blindsided

Rubbish is the most sarcastic quote ever ! Bring on the Lawers and get another hole ripped !

Has it been confirmed yet whether one of the charges is because we don't play in red?

From BBC

'City were not given advance warning of the Premier League statement. They were called at the same time the statement was published.'

Says it all.

It looks pretty much the same excepting Mancini and the alleged player payments. I'm actually pissing myself laughing at it, as it will get the contempt that UEFAs attempt did.

@SWP's back

I'm not going to check over all the pages to see if this was answered already, but you were asking for a source on the claim any possible appeal goes to the high court rather than to CAS. I'm not a lawyer or anything, and have only skimmed PL rules, but this could be the relevant section:

Agreement to Arbitrate
X.2. Membership of the League shall constitute an agreement in writing between the League and each Club, between the League and each Director of each Club and between each Club for the purposes of section 5 of the Act in the following terms:
X.2.1. to submit all disputes which arise between them (including in the case of a Relegated Club any dispute between it and a Club or the League, the cause of action of which arose while the Relegated Club was a member of the League), whether arising out of these Rules or otherwise, to final and binding arbitration in accordance with the provisions of the Act and this Section of these Rules;
X.2.2. that the seat of each such arbitration shall be in England and Wales;
X.2.3. that the issues in each such arbitration shall be decided in accordance with English law; and
X.2.4. that no other system or mode of arbitration will be invoked to resolve any such dispute.

great post, that X.2.3 is the one that fills me with confidence

Because the owners have no idea how to monitorise a fan base, everyone uses their names as a cash cow.

Is monitorise even a word?

I bet the bbc were aware just like when Cliff Richard had the police raid with the cameras following.

Seems like groundhog day

Same shit different day

Stephen Warnock will be on sky sports news soon pretending to know the ins and outs of footballing finance just because he's put on a pair of glasses. The boring scouse c*nt.

It's funny cause it's true.........

Agreed. Find the people who insist on defending the board/ownership bizarre. They are not the club, the fans are, and they've embarrassed us. Regardless of the outcome the damage has already been done. Soriano has to walk and I'd be surprised if Khaldoon doesn't take a big step back in the future as well. We were there before them and we'll be there if they decide this isn't worth the effort anymore.

Fuck off ( Insert whatever fits) rag/dipper/arsenal scum.
