PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[Gorton_Tubster]

I knew this thread would be to of the pops if we beat RM .

I guess the reporters job is done. We're thinking about this shite instead of enjoying.

Seeing the reaction to last nights success make me wish the club will come out all guns blazing and take no prisoners.

I don’t mean by just hiring the best lawyers to clear us of all charges because it’s quite clear that even if we are 100% innocent that there is a large majority of opposition supporters and journalists fuelling all this bile that there will be accusations of “paying them off” or “getting off on a technicality”.

People are stupid and we were guilty the minute we were charged as these idiots don’t understand any of it and just assume charged = guilty.

If we are innocent then there needs to be a simplified reference point to shoot down anyone who is still thick enough to cry cheats, not the complicated findings from CAS as again it is idiots we are dealing with.

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?

Because we feel he's an establishment choice.

Ipswich fan gets it!

If we win a challenge against the legality of the charges this will inevitably be spun as us getting off on a technicality won’t it?

Or that we have all the money in the world to make it go away, the snipers will always have something to come back at us with. We will never win in the eyes of opposition fans and that is what they set out to do. Win or lose this and we are guilty either way.

While that would be his aim,he'll bottle it at the last minute.

Last minute? Weeks before. This has been our easiest title win since 2018! ;)

But we were told by Several prominent posters on here there was nothing too see, One being the legal expert that him being an Arsenal fan had absolutely fuckall to do with how he'd look at the case. Funny how he never answered me when I said what if he was a City fan.

Anyway glad City have brought this up.

 

[Tevez City]

I have a sneaky feeling that Carra doesn’t really hope we aren’t found guilty.

Apart from City fans, Everyone wants City to be guilty.

They hated the club when it was spending to qualify for the CL

I am sure the hatred is increasing with every new trophy.

My memory may be failing me here but I am sure I read on this thread some time ago that the final decision couldn't be appealed to the High Court? Times article concludes it can do and says City are prepared to go to the Supreme court

We can't appeal against the substance of any decisions but as I understand it we can appeal to the court if we believe the process itself was flawed. And bias would be part of that flawed process.

I do wonder if we're just flexing our muscles here without seriously expecting to win this argument. Like a manager who moans about not getting refereeing decisions to try to influence future ones.
