PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[wolviedinho]

I'm sure once we're cleared with the Premier League charges the piss boiling wankers will find something else to go after us for.
I find it laughable that every other teams fans think out of the whole of the league only us are dodgy and cooking the books.


I'm sure when it gets cleared up there will be a huge, huge can of worms opened up.

Just as a side note, I know absolutely nothing about law, about running a football club or a business but are you telling me that Sheikh Mansour, a politician, a multi billionaire, deputy prime minister of The UAE, with a worldwide reputation, a minister of presidential Court will risk everything, his livelihood, his standing in the world to facilitate and oversee us breaking rules and knowingly allow it?

Do you also think khaldoon will risk his own reputation and then lie to Sheikh Mansour and tell him a completely different story to cover up these alleged issues and accusations?

No, me neither, the more I hear these clowns on TV and radio getting giddy telling us about the charges and knowing what I know about our owners and CEO's, I know who I believe.

Not unless Soriano takes the fall for false reporting…

This is (if not already) going to be tedious for the next 3 or 4 years.

Still can’t believe this is the situation we’re in and it couldn’t have been sorted with the PL without it going so far.

Not sure I could bear another 4 years of us winning everything and Sheikh M making more and more money.

I think it was Mandy Rice Davies who said of Lord Astor denying he’d ever met her, let alone slept with her - “he would say that wouldn’t he….”.

City have a very competent legal team who will have advised the club not to comment beyond anything agreed with them. City will keep things water tight and let this play out but I do think our legal eagles will go big on us being singled out and unfairly targeted. We are clearly confident of our position but that won’t stop us attacking a clearly flawed process. the PL might think they can target us but any rules applied to us MUST be applied to all other clubs equally and that will be the PLs weakness. We could in effect threaten to take everyone else down with us.

I remember Kaldoon saying in one of his end of season interviews something along the lines of the football world is a small one and we hear what goes on, sounds like we have been keeping our powder dry.

Not really. If a company wants to overpay for a service, the gov don't gaf as long as the chancellor gets his cut.

Or like the United/Chevrolet deal, the company can sack the guy who agreed to overpay.

I’m sure we have a dossier that will form part of our defence that will finger the Red shirts… people in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones!

I quite like the ironic comments by some rags that this will all get brushed under the carpet after we make some shady payments into some accounts in the Caymen Islands.

If we were guilty of anything you think the charges and punishment would not be handed out before now,
It's all based on fake emails claimed to have come from a hacker and sent to German magazine Der Spiegel

Uefa fell for it hook line and sinker and Manchester City clear our name once and for all, the only punishment was not about the FFP rules but fines for not releasing our accounts on time, again Uefa fell for the fake emails and lies

They just Wanted the Der Spiegel stuff to be true - that’s why they fell for it.

They are absolutely nuts, as are the inhabitants of RAWK. Both are convinced of our guilt, with no consideration of evidence necessary. Both are convinced our players stay because of under the counter payments. Both are convinced our attendance is fake, our sponsors are fake and our finances are fake. What they cannot deny is that our points are not fake, our trophies are not fake, our playing style and tactics are not fake, and our titles are not fake...RESULT.
