PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[Thaksinssoldier]

Yep, on our timeline, having just shown the world how to play football.

Sandwiched nicely between last night and lifting their trophy. Our boys don’t mess about.

But if we are as innocent as we say we are and have the evidence to prove it then why worry who judges the case?

If you were 100% convinced you didn’t murder someone would you forgo a solicitor and represent yourself at trial?

When you’re in the dock you take every advantage you can.

Once bitten and all that?

Remember when Uefa said we could discount wages prior to 2010 for FFP and then decided to change the rules and factor them in so we were fucked.

Another example of Premier League trying to cover all the bases and having studied the CAS proceedings.

Slightly different I think. UEFA's rules covered a three year monitoring period, so the current year the rules were changed and two previous years. I can imagine them getting away with that. Shady as fuck but not without (some) reason.

The PL can't change rules in 2023, though, and then say they apply to pre-2018, or even to requests made pre-2023, if that is indeed what they have done. I guess the club and its directors know what they are doing. The people involved just won a 440 million lawsuit from Madrid, so I think they can handle the PL.

I would have thought that being part of the Premier League establishment (Chair of the Premier League Judicial Panel) was a rather more germane objection than him being an Arsenal supporter. It can hardly be an independent process if someone closely associated with one of the parties is chairing the panel.

What amazing timing for a leak.

I doubt the PL will want to take this all the way to the Courts, things can get very nasty indeed, and the potential to bankrupt the league is always there (lawyers are not cheap )

I could also imagine pressure being applied by the UK government to make this go away

If the P/L withdraw their accusations, could CITY sue the P/L for defamation?

The best team this league has ever witnessed,no better advert for the Premier League brand......and these cunts still want to fuck us over.

Sad,desperate,short sighted,cunts.

I would doubt they would or would want to, the PL is the water we swim in

I still maintain that this whole charade is nothing but an attempt to tarnish the Club and it's achievements

My suspicion is before it gets too nasty and dirty washing is being displayed all over the place, political pressure will be applied to make this all go away, the PL is worth a lot of money to the British Economy and not forgetting the links between governments

We should but we won't.

We will more likely invite them all to the Etihad for a big knees up and 5 star buffet, with Patrice Evra making a guest appearance!

Would really like to see this finished up, once and for all.
Its really taking away the enjoyment of what is a great time for us.
Constant sniping and innuendo.
Any praise ends with a "but...."

I enjoy it.
let them all.suffer
