PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[oldius]

I would hope/imagine that Khaldoon has spoken to the PL and told them if they persist with this nonsense then we have 19 other files we would like to let them have a look at - now would the PL really want to risk opening Pandoras Box ?

It would genuinely surprise me if we do not have serious questions that could be asked of other clubs.

But surely EB, if we have “Irrefutable” evidence, it wouldn’t matter if baconface was chairing the proceedings ?

Not saying we’re guilty but if we had irrefutable evidence that would close the case we would already have done so.

Lawyers posture and it’s PR.

We may well have evidence but so will PL, irrefutable is just our way of phasing ours.

It think it could well simply be the accounts. Here our the City accounts signed of by BDO, the sponsors accounts showing the payment out and our bank statement showing money in.

That is irrefutable proof unless PL can show something official to counter act it (which I don’t think they can, bar rumour, the fact we refuse to give them anything and the odd email).

No independent court in the land would side with PL and I would expect anyone who has raised to KC will have to give credence to official documentation over what PL has.

If any form of harm has been caused by these charges eg in an email Bellingham's agent stated "My client has chosen not to consider MCFC due to concerns regarding the PL charges".

Or a parent informs the club their highly talented son/daughter will not be joining the Academy because of the PL charges.

Or let's say a prospective commercial partner in a written statement confirms they have decided not to commit to a contract for the same reason.

In addition, the absence of any form of sub judice has led to a global/daily frenzy of damaging and malicious reporting in all forms of media. Evidence of this could be presented to a court ad nauseum.

If this was a criminal case there would be no doubt that extensive pervasive, and prejudicial publicity had corrupted the whole process irreversiblely.

As MCFC are 5% shareholders of the PL, the remaining 95% should be liable for all these damages. Are the PL ignorant to these implications?

btw Still no answer to this one, Exactly how much money has the PL spent in legal fees over the past five years in its investigation of one of its own shareholders, £1M, £5M, £10M ?. Why does the PL not state this cleary and precisely in its audited accounts ? This investigation was described by a judge as of public interest, so why the obfuscation?

Lets say a full exoneration is accompanied with a disclosure the PL had spent £10M in legal fees investigating MCFC, this would be proof of an orchestrated and coordinated attack by competitor clubs.

Like I’ve said before - whatever we have done we are not the only ones and it beggars belief anybody in football would think otherwise. I am astonished it’s got this far unless like other posters have said it’s just a smear campaign meant to distract and detract from just how bloody good we are.

I’ll side with the club mate that’s all I’m saying

Panel still not together.

This period is all about what is left on the table.

A massive humble pie hopefully.........and a lot of salt for all the circling vultures.

We may well have evidence but it will be open to interpretation, irrefutable is just our way of phasing it.

It could well simply be the accounts. Here our the City accounts signed of by BDO, the sponsors accounts showing the payment out and our bank statement showing money in.

That is irrefutable proof unless PL can show something else (which I don’t think they can, bar rumour, the fact we refuse to give them anything and the odd email).

No independent court in the land would side with PL and I would expect anyone to raise to KC, will have to give credence to official documentation.

I think the PL are in a bind. They’ve got nowt substantive and we’re blocking any more fishing trips leaving them nowhere to go. If they had strong evidence or a “smoking gun”, they’d have had us by now. As the clamour to move this forward gets louder from all sides, their position gets more desperate.
Provided we‘re reading this right - and TH has shared great insights into how the club see it - all the signs are looking good, but we’re obviously not home and dry yet.

 

[astevec]

Just to put it right.

 

[Blue_eyes]

Ah go do do one
Push your asterisk up your arse
Ah go do do one
PL charges are a farce

You’ve nothing left, coz we’re right
Red Top mafia go to hell
Double standards, dodgy refs
VAR and corrupt cartel.

Lol, Brilliant, but it needs to be sung accompanied by the dance as well......just to piss em off more.

I keep going back to the club statement- irrefutable evidence.

Sounds like beyond a reasonable doubt to me.
Pity it’s not a real court.
