PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[cheekybids]

Really is becoming repetitive all this now.

You can say that again.

The only thing which matters is can the tribunal prove we disguised owner investment through sponsors?

Which also begs the question why the fuck would they need to when they could very legally and very quietly lean on the businesses who do sponsor us to sponsor is through proper, market rate channels.

Sounds like a Chinese whisper being embellished around?

Sun Jihai possibly?

“I’m hearing” is a mad way of spelling “I read it on Bluemoon”, the sad ****.

Harsh, probably true

Yep, I posted a while back in here that the charges are essentially the same to cover the rolling years of the supposed offences, and 95 per cent can already be dismissed.

The other five per cent is our only focus, but I don't know about this latest claim that it now boils down to one.

Tweet from yesterday was almost identical to what was said at a Cheshire Supporters Club by a long term City employee ( and also posted on here recently ) so don’t think it’s related to earlier TH post on here.

Whilst it’s all in good faith it’s strikes me as a positive vibe within the football club but possibly not legally accurate.

The legal bods on here and Twitter certainly don’t agree that anything could possibly be sorted this quickly which casts a doubt on whether it’s accurate or simply City telling the staff not to worry.

Yep. Blame the Chinese.

Meanwhile Barca are in talks with La Liga about ‘generating more flexibility in their FFP ratio’ … nothing to see here

Re the alleged leaked emails, the hacker Riu Pinto is due to be sentenced next week. He has a previous conviction for extortion (never mentioned in the MSM), he avoided prison on that occasion by giving the money back to a bank in the Camyan islands. He could be getting some serious time in the clink. His defence are still trying to portray him as heroic whistleblower and pleading for a suspended sentence. Hope the judge does the right thing...

I wouldn't believe a word he says. He may well be right but he has no inside knowledge. It's a guessing game that gets him more followers no matter the outcome.

My guess is someone from the club has been to an OSC Branch meeting and said (as I have) that these basically boil down to a handful of actual issues (image rights, sponsorship and Mancini) and also saying, which @tolmie's hairdoo has already said, that they're confident we'll easily see off these charges.

I very much doubt he's saying that we've done a deal with the PL to reduce 115 charges to just four or five, which are going to be dropped.

Think he has already done a deal with Portuguese authorities and taxman
