You don’t announce £300 million pound infrastructure and ground extensions if they thought the Premier league was going to put us in the National league. Everton have got charged after City and have a hearing pencilled in for October. Where as there is silence on when City will get theirs.
From reading the piece
@projectriver put together a few weeks back. I’d hazard a guess the arguing points are the 6 year limitations in English law of how far the Premier league can go back unless it’s deemed as major fraud. These would be the sticking points, if it is major fraud is a three man independent forum the right place to hear and adjudicate on the evidence? They have a high bar to jump through to prove what allegations they have put against City if so.
The Premier League are going up against people who are a lot smarter than them. How they messed up announcing the charges demonstrates they are incompetent. How they are being led by owners of United, Liverpool, Spurs and Arsenal to conduct a smear campaign against City when the four named clubs were quick to jump ship on the Premier League for the Super league also shows they aren’t the sharpest tools in the box.
