PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[Silva2021]

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.

I think that’s a good read on the situation.

I’m really not sure where PL go on this, I do worry there line of least resistance is probably to take us all the way (despite knowing we will most likely win).

It is what UEFA did.

I would prefer it to get dropped before then.

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

TBC I’m not against, I’m just saying that the evidence will be the audited accounts/ bank statements.

I just don’t see what else we could provide that would be considered irrefutable evidence.

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

We all call our evidence “irrefutable” to sound bullish. Even when it isn’t. In fact it always isnt.

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

Believe me, I would be so honoured to hear this belted out at Brentford.
Even better to see you dancing to it.
Thank god I have IPTV.

Witness statements, eg when the CEO and Chairman of Etihad Airways swore under oath in a Swiss court(CAS) that the sponsorship of MCFC by the airline had been fully authorised by him alone and that it had proved to be of excellent commercial value, in fact it had exceeded all of the airlines expectations. The court agreed his evidence was irrefutable.

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

I reckon its the butler that did it

Look at this post on red cafe, this gives you an idea of how much they know about the past and current investigations.



They didn't win convincingly. They probably bribed the FIFA judges, making them interpret the procedural rules in a specific way. These judges ruled that the statute of limitations applied to the charges and that the timing should be calculated from a particular date... Consequently, their "victory" was achieved through exploiting a technicality rather than addressing the core issue... The evidence itself was not dismissed by the FIFA court.

I’ve had similar to that by scousers. Main one is we picked 2 judges & no other reason. The funny thing is those notions have been put in their head by the MSM.
