PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[abu13]

Someone was telling me the other day that we picked 2 out of the 3 judges in the case at CAS. I can't find anything out online about how they were selected is this true?

I believe that we chose one and Uefa chose one, there was then a process where both us and Uefa agreed on the 3rd judge.

My understanding is that we suggested the 3rd person. Uefa did not offer a name for the Chair role and did not oppose our suggested name.

Uefa only has itself to blame in failed case against Man City

The European governing body could hardly have made a worse mess of their case against City after allowing moves that directly contravened their own rules in the pursuit of a speedy resolution

I think we chose one, as did UEFA.
We then suggested the third as he was familiar with the case, and UEFA agreed.
We did not 'choose' two.

I want a full defamation charge against all these journos and they need to serve prison time.

luckily AI is soon to be taking over many jobs like these puff pieces from these so called journos. a very limited AI can be programmed to spit out worthless articles like the whatsapp group doing under "working"and bloody hell it will be lot cheaper than to pay lots of money to these nobodies.

It makes me laugh when fans of other clubs go about this. Just ask them this.

Have City had a plan to bring in the best structure to succeed? Yes
Have City hired top people in their field of expertise? Yes.
Have City had a plan to develop the best possible youth system? Yes.
Have City had a long term plan for excellent recruitment ? Yes
Have City had a long term plan and vision of how the club would develop? Yes
Have City bought wisely in the transfer market? Yes
Have City developed a fantastic scouting network to identify young talent? Yes.
Have City excellent at getting getting good fees when selling players? Yes.

But for some reason they think we have a bunch of chancers and criminals running our finances.

I trust the club 100% that they have done everything within the rules, what I believe is that we have done what every successful business does and sails close to the limits of the rules, and used modern day accounting and processes in a world where the Premier league still live in the past. They won't like it but we will come out on top.

There is no court (or even arbitration) route to go down for a dispute like this. This would simply be a defence at the independent panel.

Something wrong with Zeigler article. Much of it (obviously briefed by someone) doesn't make much logical sense. I'd be cautious reading too much into it.

Surely you can go to court, over the legality of a case against you, in any scenario. Which is what that article claimed, that it was a legal challenge. The court may of course rule that the case is entirely legal and you are back where started.

Are you worried about the outcome and potential punishments?

I can overthink things at times, so I’ll half be worrying about it in the back of my mind in Istanbul when I should be totally enjoying myself.

Based on a few things you and @projectriver have said, I’m not thinking about relegation just because I think it would be hard for them to prove the Sheikh inflating sponsorships etc, but I do feel they’ll try and undermine our achievements as best they can.

Most people believe what they want to believe , what they would like to be true - me included. For a lot of the more rabid rag and dipper fans we will have cheated irrespective of any outcome in any legal forum.

Personally am not interested in any recognition from any united , liverpool or any other fans. Its about me, other blues , our club and the best football I have ever seen with silverware ,glory and beer on the way. My only regret in my dealings with them is I don't get to tell enough of them to fuck off.

Seriously you should write more often. A very well balanced article. Welcome to the fold.

Thank you my friend and I will do my best. It's great to be here.

Excellent and succinct list. If only they would engage in a discussion of those points we would get somewhere. But they choose to cry like babies and make untrue and illogical statements. Our day will come!
