I largely agree with what you're saying but the reason why all this started in the first place is because of the Der Spiegel articles courtesy of that prick Rui Pinto who claims to be a whistleblower when anyone with half a brain cell can see that he's just a fucking criminal and a wrong 'un to boot. Without that then none of this would've happened but I'm struggling to see how things could get this far - both with UEFA and the PL - if a few hacked and out of context e-mails is all they've got to go on. Sure, there's enough in those e-mails for them to ask legitimate questions but beyond that it's no more than speculation as they can be interpreted multiple different ways.
In short, you're pretty much spot on IMO - it's a witch hunt being pushed by certain clubs. While we need to clear our name first and foremost, Liam Gallagher had it right - you investigate one, you investigate all. And when you do that then you truly are into Pandora's Box territory. Let's see how all these other clubs would like it if they're subjected to a fishing expedition and being asked to tip up a shit load of confidential information.
I actually believe that until all this booted off, the Premier League were, if anything, extremely lax when it came to imposing their FFP rules on clubs, including ours. Whereas UEFA seem quite thorough when assessing clubs each year (which in turn leads to sanctions being imposed on various clubs every season), the PL has never found a single club to be in breach of any aspect of their FFP rules. Now they appear to be over-compensating by throwing as much shit as possible at us. Funny how they don't go back as far as Shinawatra's ownership though because I've said it before and I'll say it again - there's not a fucking chance we were more squeaky clean when he owned us than we have been since!
That's the bit I dont understand, dippers money laundering gun running bank, why isnt that investigated ? Or Leicester sponsorship ?
I totally agree with Liam Gallagher and that's the point how is it legal to investigate only one club ?

I dont understand how the charges against City can be taken seriously when the pl ignore the hateful 8.
Time to sign off I think I'm going round in circles lol
It actually isn’tPart in bold is completely irrelevant bud
What exactly do you want them to investigate about Liverpool & Standard Chartered?
I don’t get that. I am not sure the data is that personal it’s data about players won’t it be in the public domain or subjective ? In any event if that’s true then why did no investigation happen the police can do what they want the information is in the public domain same with this lots of alligator s and the possibility of them amounting to false accounting fraud tax evasion or whatever.If a criminal investigation had taken place about liverpool accessing City's database, City would have also been prosecuted for not adequately protecting sensitive personal data that had been trusted to it
It’s interesting that potential new owners wanting to buy United can’t get a proper understanding of the club’s finances due to the accounts being hidden away in the Cayman Islands. Why is that and how can two governing bodies like Uefa and The Premier League form an understanding of what is going on with a club that is saddled with debt all the while whilst interest rates rise up.
It’s also of interest that their past two shirts sponsors in Team Viewer and Chevrolet payed more than what they should have. This is at the same time everyone is frothing at the mouth over City’s Etihad deal which is £10 million pound more a year than Arsenal’s deal with Emirates. This is City who have won 4 out of the last 5 premier leagues and have competed in the champions league for over a decade where Arsenal haven’t. There’s not a witch hunt going in though is there?
Isnt having a money laundering gun running bank against PL rules ? I mean if a owner cant put as much as he wants into his business. How can money laundering gun running banks be allowed ?
What niggles at youThere’s a few things about the CAS verdict that still niggle at me tbh. Burden of proof though, I’m not sure what the PL have that makes them think they have a stronger case.
As @domalino said, I'm not sure Liverpool's sponsors come under the PL umbrella so probably not a great example to use. A better example regarding Liverpool would be tens of millions of pounds of costs associated with their non-existent new stadium being included in their accounts at a time when they were in serious danger of failing UEFA's FFP rules.I totally agree with Liam Gallagher and that's the point how is it legal to investigate only one club ?
