PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[chaddblue]

Completely guesswork, but maybe to make the time from 'breach' to 'punishment' be as long as possible and make it harder to come up with a penalty. If it's 2025, that's already 7 years from the end of the period the charges cover.

Or as any denigrator will claim, to make as much hay as possible before anything happens.

My inclination it that it's what has been said before - exhaust every legal avenue at every step to avoid having a hearing that the club don't have control of.

What if .... and its not impossible to suggest it.... the PL (and therefore our accusers), don't even exist by the time this comes to court?

And / or football could be governed by a new Regulatory regime.

If the PL doesn't do what it's told by the puppeteer clubs and actually does give us a fair hearing, my guess is it won't survive long afterwards.

theyll go after newcastle next just you watch, its the influence of americans, when they cant face competition the immediate response has always been to sue and that is all thats happening now.

This has nothing to do with being right or wrong and to an extent it doesnt even matter whether the charges are proven to be true or false, because its the accusations that matter and what they bring and once thats out there then you cant get that back.

If by some miracle we do get found guilty of any (which i highly doubt) then its job done, if we get found not guilty which is the more likely outcome then the prevailing thing by the press and the fans will be that we somehow cheated the system, got off on a technicality again etc etc and thats the image they want.

The cartel hate the idea that where they stand now is the result of poor business decisions and mismanagement so they want the people that are showing them up to look like cheats so they can carry on milking their cash cows and they have managed to make the fans blame city rather than expecting better of them, it was a great trick

They will, because having an Islamic organisation dominate the English game hurts these small minded fool. Newcastle will also feel the wrath of their xenophobia too

Given recent revelations........I wonder if Mr Bellingham will have the same concerns about the club his son has just been convinced to sign for?

Revelations? Not heard of anything lately.

Allegations would have been a better word in fairness.
