PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[The Future’s Blue!]

The media response is how dare pep say let’s get it sorted when City have caused all delays.

Of which we now expect. Does anybody believe the media are being impartial or on our side?

From Pep’s statements it sounds like we have produced and it’s the PL that are dragging this out.

Interesting that Richard Masters, PL CEx, was at the Etihad on Sunday to present the trophy and medals to City as 2022/23 Champions.

Hard to believe that words were not exchanged between him and the City hierarchy over the FFP charges especially in the absence of representatives of teams in red or those others pushing for sanctions against City.

Richard Masters had nowhere to hide and will have been exposed. He may have been told some home truths that left him looking unhappy and leading to Peps statement about wanting the PL to bring a quick conclusion to the charges.

Unfortunately for me, I have first hand experience of the importance and meaning of cogent evidence. I have just lost a case where we were the claimant trying to prove a case that incorporated this issue. So safe to say the bar is very high. And the PL case theory is, like UEFAs, inherently unlikely and serious for many individuals. The evidence will really have to be very strong (cogent) so (guessing) unless the panel, effectively, say they don’t believe City’s witnesses it’s going to be hard for the PL to win.

If they have nothing but the emails as evidence, their allegations won’t be proven to be right. City will be able to provide evidence that counters the emails like we did at CAS. How are they going to counter high figure executives from Etisalat giving a witness statements saying they’ve fully fulfilled all contracts with City? They aren’t.

Fuck face Stone with another pile of bollocks… obstructing the UEFA case ? a failure not to cooperate becomes obstruction… then he moves on to his ongoing fixation of Pep leaving. What an utter **** this charlatan is… cancel your TV licence immediately.

BBC
Negative City story = Simon Stone
Match report praising City = Any other employee

A little snippet:

The alleged inaccurate reporting of finances is supposed to trump any beauty we have seen. And doesn’t that cut to the heart of the modern game? After all, how many times do fans leave the stadium with spotless accountancy the only light in a bleak horizon? “Well, we might have been stuffed by Middlesbrough again, lads, but what about the accurate reporting of our finances, eh? If you excuse me, I must rush home to craft a giant flag for when our accountants come by on an open-top bus.”

Other media outlets should be forced to repeat this article, lol.

I see a fair article from Martin Samuel get absolutely pasted by Dippers shouting shill, client journalist & accusations his son works for CFG.

Any evidence on the last ?

Won't they have all the numbers and documentation that City have provided them with, and then be able to assess how well those fit what was declared?
The emails don't seem (to me) to be important.

Here is pep on charges, so you don’t have to click link:

“What I would like is if the Premier League and judges could make something as soon as possible,” Guardiola told reporters ahead of Wednesday's trip to sixth-placed Brighton & Hove Albion.

“Then, if we have done something wrong everybody will know it and, if we are like we believe as a club for many years, (done things) in the right way, then the people will stop talking about it.

“We would love it tomorrow. This afternoon better than tomorrow.”

“Hopefully they are not so busy and the judges can see both sides and decide what is the best, because in the end I know fairly what we won we won on the pitch and we don't have any doubts,” Guardiola said.

“Let's go. Don't wait two years. Why don't we do it quicker? In 24 hours, sit down with lawyers present. Let's have it as soon as possible for the benefit of everyone.”

I like the bullish words pep is using. We only get snippets but you don’t call for a quick resolution if you are banged to rights.

Pep speaking out can only mean we have a watertight case. He wants it over and done with and must have gotten some indication from the higher ups that everything is above board or else he is an idiot and I just can’t see it being the latter.

This week is getting better and better.

You'd hope from reading that that he indeed has had the nod from above.
