PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

I find myself wondering what kind of low key semi-diplomatic influence would be available if AD sought to look at it. Every time a brick is laid, or a job vacancy is posted in Openshaw or Beswick, it's paid for by a kind of outside investment UK PLC is rather badly in need of. I'd imagine our government do not want to politicise this discussion, but what if there's a view of this being taken on a simple economic level? Does someone in Whitehall take note of this situation when deciding on suggested policy for future regulation over the football industry? Are the Premier league weighing this facet? Should they be?

I’d imagine for now our government is happy to stay out of it, but they will be watching very closely what’s unfolding and I’d imagine if the need arises this will get political very fast.

No, the case should be judged solely on the merits (or otherwise) of the evidence. And nothing else.

Absolutely. The forum is a better place for their views.

But I do wish they would try to explain to non-legals in a less legal way, sometimes. 99% of the people on here don't have any legal training, so sometimes pick up the wrong end of the legal argument stick purely from the way it is explained. A better way to explain the right to appeal would be to say there IS a right of appeal in certain, unlikely circumstances, rather than saying there is no right of appeal except in certain, unlikely circumstances. People are looking to the experts on here for comfort as well as legal explanation. A little comfort would go a long way on a particularly stressful issue, imho.

My point is more psychological than legal maybe.

Maybe I have no point.

Maybe there is no point at all, anywhere.

Philosophical as well as psychological then :)

I see.
Thanks for pointing that out, I think.

A lot of the media coverage is so transparently bitter and resentful now that I largely ignore or ridicule it. It’s certainly not going to hamper my enjoyment of what City are doing. Don’t really care about public perception any more either. Fans of Utd, Liverpool, Arsenal etc will hate us regardless. If it’s not these allegations then they’ll find another reason to try and besmirch our achievements. Fuck them all.

Exactly live is so much more enjoyable if you adopt this attitude.

The press/media are playing to a smaller and smaller audience.

Their clubs have skeletons to it will come out at some point

If we are completely exonerated I hope the club hammer the media properly if there is any hint of this witch hunt ever rears it's head ever again.
