PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[cheekybids]

If the evidence is inconvertrible why hasn't it appeared anywhere?

If it exists then the only reason must be that the 'owner's wants their own pay day/pay off.

Otherwise theres this thing called t'internet which might be handy.

I’m saying others do it regularly, leaking in the NYT.

However, I know fuck all about any evidence, your speaking to the biggest know nowt fucker around.

I know for a fact that a well-known journalist at one of the so-called 'quality' papers was handed a dossier showing incontrovertible evidence of corruption at PGMOL and wouldn't publish it.

They've all got their snouts in the trough and if you upset the apple cart the trough runs dry.

The cult being caught red handed hacking us got little or no coverage. Though as I’ve said before, that may have also suited us at the time

I’d still be wary of an independent regulator. You can establish all the governance you want, it is only as good as the people holding the posts and there will be attempts to get at them. There is just too much at stake for a lot of rich, powerful people.

Nothing to do with not liking City. It was around 10 years ago for a start so well before the Pep era. I think it was just before we won the first PL title in 2012.

Maybe he was warned off, as most journalists were by Abramovich. Don't forget that the FA/PL successfully hushed up criminal behaviour by Liverpool, over the illegal access to our data.

Ronay admitted this on Twitter when asked why he never went after Chelsea like he did City. ‘Why do you think?’ was his response. Coward and hypocrite, albeit emboldened by City’s cuckold passivity

Remember this was the same ‘bought and paid’ for shill who wrote a book and endless Guardian articles when he was at best ambivalent about Putin and positively gushing about Russia’s world cup
And, of course, the dog whistle racist who described Arab owners as ‘a row of grinning beards’ in an article that remains on the Guardian website to this day
So we have a hypocrite, a coward and a racist. Staggering that anyone takes this throbbing, pus filled boil on the inner rectum of humanity in any way seriously

I don't know many who believe there is a huge conspiracy by all referees against City. This is an issue which affects lots of clubs and is probably driven by betting markets. I don't believe for one minute that everyone at PGMOL is corrupt but I am certain there have been individual instances of corruption. What Mark Halsey has said publically confirms that. Corruption exists in most facets of life in this country (and probably everywhere else). Where there is big money there is usually wrongdoing. Why should football be any different?

I don't think referees are against City, however I do think they're being manipulated to give the correct result (where possible) for certain other teams... Scudamore's veil slipped years ago when he said the PL needed a strong United side!
Fact is, United and Liverpool... probably Arsenal too, being good and competing at the top level is good for the PL's finances... so they instruct the refs to favour them, the media to fawn over them... but the stupid thing is, if they'd built us up... given us our proper credit, they could have nurtured another cash-cow to add to the already bloated ones they covet!

I think they at least subconsciously buy into the whole money narrative and underdog crowds. Saturday a perfect example.
No absolute shockers but definite in-game microagressions and marginal decisions against us every time. He couldn’t wait to blow up for full time despite them wasting half the alloted four minutes
We have to be sufficiently ruthless to make the officials irrelevant and we haven’t done that often enough this season

You read the stats with rags games, in a lot of them the ref will book the other teams defenders early, almost putting them on the back foot early on.
Graham Poll said something in his book along the lines of he used to get an email telling him how to ref the match at the rags in favour of them as they didn't want to upset taggart.

I'm 99.9% sure he mentions it in his book, will have to look for a link for it.

Edit..
Found this.

How Ex-Ref Poll Lifted Lid on Myth of Man U “Dominance” – by Rob Atkinson

As a Leeds United fan, the twenty year period between the start of the Premier League era and the departure from Man U of Alex Ferguson was for me a two-decades long spell of misery and disillusion…

Worrall should have been sent off in the first half, but I am not blaming the ref for the dropped points
