PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[horlock_was_super]

Fair point. Mancini’s comments on the matter seem to be cut and dried though. If he can prove he paid the relevant tax and NI on his earnings, I don’t see how that line of investigation can go anywhere. Like with some of the stuff that went before CAS, the accusation about under the counter payments to Mancini appear to be nothing more than innuendo (and I recall that was the same word CAS used in relation to at least one of the charges in their report).

Of course, there may well be cast iron evidence that proves otherwise such as CCTV footage of Khaldoon handing Mancini a big fuck off brown envelope full of used banknotes each month but I think it’s safe to say that this present day City aren’t as stupid as the likes of Peter Swales, George Graham, or whoever was running United back in the 60s when they tried (and failed) to buy off the parents of Peter Lorimer in order to get him to join them instead of Leeds.

What if they’ve got proof that Bobby Manc was being paid secretly somewhere like, ooh off the top of my head The Cayman Islands. Then again nothing dodgy could happen in a sleepy little backwater like that now could it?

So this is a Rob Harris, chief cock at sky sports news, asking pep.about mancini.

And then we have mancini saying this.



Hmm. Something just looks a bit wrong, almost like someone is talking out their arse.

i know you lurk on here nostrils harris.
What a prick, found out yet again.

Lies.
Lies.
Lies.

You know this can work both ways? What better way to get rid of a ref quietly than to find him a new role somewhere else? Clattenburg anyone?

It has always been thus. If someone can't perform at the level they hold, promote them.........

The prick will revert to the Mandy Rice - Davies defence

Mods and ric have said back on topic for much less than this , it is irritating to have to plough through shit to get any info on this important subject when there is the refs and var and more threads for discussing pigmol

Don't you think there's a connection though? An organisation that runs the English top-flight, the most watched sporting competition on the planet, is bringing spurious charges against us, at the behest of US owners (if the whispers are to be believed).

Why? Because we've committed the cardinal sin of being a successful outsider who is ruining their plans to invest as little as possible in their clubs for as much reward as possible. Does it not occur to you that the said organisation might use other stratagems to achieve those owners' objectives?

We've seen it with our own eyes, almost week in, week out. The Adebayor incident. Aguero's retrospective red card, when the PL bullied and cajoled one of its refs into, basically, lying. It's all part of a whole.

Never mind that how is Terraloon going to occupy his time.

 

[Academica]

Surely that means Mancini's contract can't be part of the investigation? They'd have contacted him or his agents at some point I'd have thought?

Just as a matter of interest could the Premier League even call him to give evidence. He could surely just tell them to do one.

We all know it isn't.
But the cocks called british journalists insist that it is.

And the Chelsea fan :)
