PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[Fred_Quimby]

I’ve been saying this for ages
Doesn’t need to be everyone just one big hitter putting em out of business
That would be a warning to the rest.

You still don't get it do you? Has any of the sh1t affected our performance, stopped us winning things, stopped us buying players or affected our bottom line? We are probably the fastest growing club on the planet. I think the boss has got it spot on.

Was we not already fined £49m for this time period by UEFA?

If these two alleged payments via Etislat are a blatant lie then the club should sue the fuck out them right away , if it’s a lie we surely have grounds to swing the hammer immediately, if it’s true however then who the fuck knows how this will end , let’s hope our paper trail is water tight.

Do you think that our owners will review the reasons for our dominence last season and conclude that the combo may not have happened without the PL charges?

In other words from an investment point of view is there a benefit in being demonized by all and sundry?

We seem to be forcing rivals to spend at a time their brand superiority has plumeted.

Forgetting FFP simply from an accountancy point of view they are struggling financially.

It's a weird one isn't it?

A couple of things.

I can't imagine the PL really expect that they can prove their allegations to any acceptable level of proof. So maybe, there is some credence to the view the "people" behind it were just out destabilise the club and to cause a stink. As you imply, I think, they didn't anticipate Guardiola fighting back the way he did, and as you say, since then the club has never looked back.

As for FFP as a whole, it is delicious that the clubs behind it are now struggling because of it. They are less successful than we are purely because we are more successful (and because they are badly managed as well, of course). So they make less money but have to spend more to catch up. It's a mini catch 22. Shame.

Read the CAS award.

It's just recycling old news to keep the agenda in the spotlight.

Clear and obvious.

Exactly. All done by those who now want a rush job at the tribunal.

The law doesn't work like that.

People study for at least seven years to know how it works.

We have cunts here who think a GCSE in English Literature is a passport to being Ironside.

I got a C in Lit, BTW - never stopped me being a journalist, either!

If the chairman says we are innocent.

We are innocent.

Piers morgan looks like an overweight giraffe who suddenly woke up one morning and thought fuck it, i'm done eating leaves off trees, I'm going to put a suit on and become a proper obnoxious little ****.

A modicum of research by you,will soothe your furrowed brow.
