PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

Think he is talking about the piers Morgan hatchet job yesterday. £30 mil unaccounted for because Mansour’s mate paid it. YouTube sleuths strike again with a weasel faced ass presenting.

It's fucking unbelievable isn't it.

"Exclusive" about a mere 30m at the same time as Rice moving to Arse for 105m and Rags report a debt increase to over 700m

They couldn't even get their facts right, not won a trophy for over 40 years when the Sheik bought us ? Also Panja saying UEFA not fit for purpose when I'm sure he applauded the 2 year ban.

I can't help thinking that they are laying the groundwork so that, when we are inevitably cleared of the serious charges, they can say how incompetent the PL and UEFA are, that they aren't able to run football and that a new organisation is required.

Part of the PR for an ESL imo. Some people are desperate for that to happen and will pay anyone anything to promote its underlying premises. It's clearly coordinated at the moment and the timing is interesting. Something is happening with the PL investigation would be my guess.

The "sales" of United and Liverpool are a good barometer, imo. If nothing is happening, it's a sign they feel an ESL is worth waiting for. If they actually happen, the ESL is dead.

If any of that is true, btw, Masters has been played like a two-bit fiddle.

You really have to remember the timing of the charges. City were “struggling” by their recent standards and Pep had expressed his public displeasure and Arsenal had a good lead in the PL. United were even talking about a possible “quad”. The announcement was framed for maximum damage, the press was being briefed while City were still being informed about charges. They had zero expectation that City would land a pure treble at that point - it was thought more likely that Pep might walk away. I suspect the PL are now a little conflicted. Watching Masters’ performance at the HoC committee was an eye-opener - he was so unbelievably lightweight. Can’t see him surviving.
Football seems to be rapidly globalising and City happen to be sat right at the top of the tree, so I agree with your general point - though that was not how they thought things would turn out for one second. But, the die is now cast and they have to deal with it. Add the known geo-political realities into the mix (Mansour at the Coronation, Mansour with Erdogan in Istanbul, multi-billion UK investment pipeline etc) The PL is in way over its head.
