PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

This is what I don't understand. If the PL uncovered evidence of serious fraud during their investigation, don't they have a responsibility to inform the SFO and either have the SFO start a criminal case, or have the case thrown out? Presumably, if the fraud was continuing each year to 2018, then it is still continuing. If that is the case and the PL know about it and don't report it, at what point do they become complicit?

The reason I am asking all this is because of the pickle I think the PL finds itself. If they really are alleging fraud and conspiracy wouldn't the correct course of action to have been handing the evidence over to the SFO and then waiting for the outcome before charging the club.

The worst thing the PL can do is charge the club, find them guilty in a process that doesn't have the resources or authority to properly conclude on it, then have any follow up thrown out by the SFO. It would cost the PL billions in damages I would imagine and, in view of the people involved, cause an international incident.

As pickles go, it's a particularly acid one. All imho.

All you say makes complete sense. What they’ve alleged is fucking insane. Like, knock Enron into a cocked-hat territory. It would be the most infamous fraud in history, given the profile of the Premier League.

The PL has literally alleged fraud on an epic scale against one of its own members and most successful club over the last decade. Its fastest growing club. That just won the Champions League. And the Treble. It’s most marketable club atm.

Mad cunts.

What City have been accused of doing would come nowhere near serious fraud and no public body would go anywhere near trying to prosecute them.

Of course it would. It alleges a fraud running into hundreds of millions. On what planet is that not serious fraud ffs?

The second part of your post is correct though. Because it’s an absurd suggestion. The notion the allegations around that (rather than the non-cooperation) are true is preposterous. Falsifying books on an industrial scale? Which would presumably entail conspiring with the auditors. Anyone who actually believes that needs fucking help.

It's all a bit of a mess, I think.
