Nowt. They’re just speculating that UEFA could open a case into City if the PL find City guilty. The rest is basically the repercussions due to the nature of the allegations the PL is making.

They can’t go looking at time barred accounts which they agreed to, then re engaged on and were then told by the CAS they couldn’t do.

In other words I'm a charlatan and I haven't got a fucking scooby
This is the nub of the issue for me i.e. to find us guilty is to infer we have behaved criminally and that we have lodged false accounts, not just in this country but in other jurisdictions. Was someone that desperate to sign Roque Santa Cruz they were prepared to do jail time!
Also, HMRC would need to be involved for any accusations to succeed. But if we’ve inflated income then we’ve paid additional tax and higher player salaries will also have benefitted HMRC to the tune of millions. So no dice there..
And ultimately it’s the owner who is on the hook - someone who leaders of the world fall over each other to get close to. Good luck getting the green light to go after him from the government!

Some might say that the signing of Roque Santa Cruz was criminal
The Premier League announced the charges against City on the 6th February. This was the day after being defeated by Spurs 1.0. City W22 D5 L1 in all competitions from this point onwards. The only defeat was a meaningless game against Brentford.
I am guessing, but I believe the political powers behind the charges were hoping that Pep would resign and City would implode. How wrong those people were?! What an incredible season! They can't beat us on the pitch right now. We now need to defeat them off the pitch. Come on City!

Remember who pulls the PL strings, their bitterness and fear overwhelms the logic that City winning the UCL is good for the PL brand

Everything they have tried has resulted in spectacular failure and as we become more successful our rivals will surely realise they have to try to compete rather than n follow these negative strategies. I think and hope that it will be too late for them. We are becoming a corporate monster capable of thrilling fans throughout the world with wonderful football. I know we will have setbacks but we are going to be difficult to catch.
