PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[cheekybids]

What bothers me about LFC fans is that they, more than anyone because of Hillsborough, should know how much the media distorts and twists narratives. They are City's most vicious critics and yet these days they seem to believe everything that is written about our owner in the media, including the much-despised Sun newspaper. I am dubious about the way the media covers any story and I like to think I would not rush to judgement against another club..even our most bitter rivals.

I said that to a Dipper but he distorted what I said.

He was outraged.

It's strange. Their fans were subjected to a media witchunt after that disaster. In fact it was open season on all football fans in those days. We were caged in and treated like shit everywhere. And a hell of a lot of fans across the UK including United and City backed those LFC fans against the police and the Government. But these days are different. Football fans have changed a lot, including the LFC fanbase. A lot of people are easily manipulated by what they read in the mainstream press and social media. I am amazed at how gullible people are.

I read @ScottSinclair 's post as meaning the PL charges rather than the CAS decision?

CAS decision.
Reported at the time that the club knew nothing until right before the official briefing, and Cheeseman' s tweet especially was very unpopular inside the club considering No one knew anything at the time.

If I remember correctly of course

Isn't this where UEFAs case fell apart in that all they offered was "in our opinion....."

UEFA's case fell apart only in the sense that it allowed it's decision to be appealed to an independent Court. The PL has made no such mistake.

Allowed in a sense that is what their process allowed for, agreed.

Would I be correct in thinking that you have little faith in the PL's appointed arbitration panel with Mr Rosen as chair to come to the same decisions based upon the same facts as presented by both sides at CAS?

If so, how can such an outcome be seen as fair and equitable and is it likely such a decision would be seen as perverse and therefore what is or is there any recourse?

When is this case actually starting does anyone know.

No, nobody knows as it’s confidential. Maybe there will be a leak close to the start but officially it won’t be announced.

My guess, and it is merely a guess, is that the case will begin as close as possible to the start of the 23-24 season. The PL will surely want to have something to disrupt (derail) our quest to be their champions 4 times in a row.

Ahh, fair do's. I don't remember the CAS decision being leaked although that may be down to my memory than reality. I do remember it being reported that the PL charges were dropped publicly with very little heads up to City.
