PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[Cobwebcat]

That was so embarrassing. Is this the level now?

Even David Dein quickly realised it was bollocks and switched to praising us until he was quickly interrupted “Not the smoking gun some might think and City have done an excellent job”

The guy from The Times looked terrified as well he should.

To sum up… WTF was that?

Even non City fans must look at that and think Im not sure City have done anything wrong.

30 mill from someone 10 years ago and they don’t know who it’s from but they can guess it’s from a mate.

Unbelievable stuff.

Just imagine if our IT security department had done their jobs and this nonsense had never been hacked out in the first place.

I heard from someone who knows about IT security that Raul Pinto sent very basic phishing emails that dumb fucks opened and clicked on dodgy attachments. There was nothing sophisticated.

All rejected by CAS. This really is laughable amateur hour stuff

I would actually suspect certain Americans are behind this laughable smear campaign rather than Qatar

Who makes a fucking film then keep their identities secret, apart from nonces?

And still there are a handful of flat earthers on here who insist there is no co-ordinated agenda against our club
The football equivalent of those poor Japanese fellas living under bushes on some remote godforsaken island in the pacific and still thinking they were at war 5 years after Hiroshima

Might not have won a treble

Don’t think there is a panel yet is there?

Don’t think there is. Last I heard City were appealing to the High Court about the possible conflict of interest of the guy choosing the panel and the validity of the process. Happy to be corrected.

Matt Lawton the “journo” idiot with bombshell revelations lives in Manchester. The only bombshell is why is that cockney **** “journo “ working for the times living in Manchester ? Is he another “journo “ on the Rick Parry payroll like Tariq Panja of the NY times ????


Hmmmm

Feel free to say hello to him walking down the High Street in Altrincham.

So they are getting the pitch forks out for £30 million split over two years. It’s desperate desperate stuff, the club have been fined nearly £60 million between 2014 and 2020 and given a squad reduction during that time. If you add all that up, what financial advantage have the club got from it?

Chelsea have written off £1.5 billion from their previous owner and are now embarking in n some very suspect activity of selling off their bloated squad to balance the books. Nothing to see here.

Spot-on. This is the definition of bad faith. These payments were already considered and dismissed by CAS after the UEFA case. They actually date back to a period before FFP was implemented by the PL. They were mentioned in a story in the Guardian in 2020 and City confirmed them to UEFA and provided the club's explanation. Presumably the auditors would also have been aware of them. But we passed the various audits, UEFA took no action, and CAS dismissed them anyway. Is this some sort of bombshell. Matt Lawton has made a fool of himself and his newspaper again.

It's not true that time barring doesn't exist under Premier League rules?

Under English law it still remains to be five years?

I do hope they will keep attacking Newcastle as well as the Saudis are a bit different than UAE guys.
they wont take that much shit as we took for more than a decade from British media.
they wont be afraid to take PL to the cleaners spending a billion on legal fees if needed. we always wanted to be friendly, we want to be liked, but these racists will never like us...

dont forget how they blocked Newcastle takeover and even Ashley had to go to court over it and took more than 12 months to sort out.
there will be nothing like that to allow the qatari takeover at Old Toilet.
