PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

Yes that’s fair comment. Depends what the club’s endgame is, I suppose. I expect they would be content if the noises just stopped as of now, rather than cancelling what’s been said previously. The club will likely have no intention to litigate in relation to any defamation, unless forced to, as the optics of a claim against this fraud wouldn’t look great for the club, and so they are managing their approach accordingly. So undermining any subsequent claim won’t be a principal consideration for the club, as they will only pursue that as a last resort, and they may very well believe he can be brought to heel without resorting to that.

There has to be some explanation for his change in script - and some correspondence/communication from the club seems the most likely to me, but I’m all ears as to alternatives!
It might not be a letter but a message from City saying that if you continue with this then we will act. Too many of these idiots have gone quiet or changed their collective tunes for this not to have happened.

Goldbridge or whatever his name is, is such an egotistical **** that i don't doubt for one second he'd imply hes important enough to have received a letter when in reality the club don't care about the likes of him. He's a character playing a part, no different to borat or keith lemon.

It will be a formal LBA, easily the best way to get the message home.
 
Whenever i get into any sort of debate with one of these clowns I just ask them one question.

If the breaches we are accused of get dismissed, would they accept the decision and our innocence?

If they so no, then I just say, then there is no point discussing it any further.
Excellent

He's had Andy Morrison at the door.
 
Forgive my limited legal knowledge, but what is a LBA?
Letter Before Action. You send an LBA setting out your complaint and
warning the recipient that, if he does not cease and desist, you will issue proceedings, but if they agree to cease and not repeat etc, that will be the end of the matter. Works most of the time.
 
For me, the big thing is the failure of the PL to properly assess the facts. They could easily have gathered all their evidence and then briefed a KC to give a full written opinion. It looks like they jumped into issuing charges too quickly. If they were under pressure from the Redshirts, the KC’s opinion would have sufficed, if not to satisfy them, at least to shut them up.
They could also have undertaken not to prosecute and held serious discussions with the club about the club‘s actions and lessons for the future.
What they have done is not professional nor normal business practice.
(All subject to a caveat that I am guessing about the PL‘s action and knowledge.)
Remember they rushed the charges when the Government was looking at a football regulator and wasn't the charges so rushed there were some very basic errors on them, i seem to remember something like this
 
The easy way out is we have done a full and extensive investigation into Manchester City's finance's and we have found that there finance's are true so therefore no further action is required....simple and true
Plus lock up the bile foaming hoards of dippers and rags.
 
He actually changes his tune to say he only says it to wind up City fans because City are the best team in the world.

That’s very different.

I’m still not sure we’d have bothered with him but it’s possible an advisor has said you are at risk so maybe don’t leave yourself exposed.

And, in the two videos posted here recently, his tune has definitely changed. Before it was City are cheats, if they "get off" bad for football, etc. Now it's the 115 charges aren't important, don't want to talk about them, he even corrected himself when he sneaked in a "if they get off or not" and corrected himself immediately to "if they are found guilty or not". Definitely a change as far as I can see.

I don't have any problem with him saying City are destroying the PL, or that the club invested a lot of money in a way that other clubs can't now do/ That isn't the clubs fault.
 
The tweets about City sending cease and desist notices out to people in the media came at the same time that the clubs execs have never been more confident about chucking these 115 breaches in the bin. Whoever the inside sources are what they are saying is coming to fruition. Are we going to see some major piss boiling in Stretford, Merseyside and Notth London by the time the clocks go back?
If cleared, isnt it ironic that its the Rags who failed FFP ( uefa, still waiting to hear about a PL investigation ) and the Dippers escaping a certain breach by putting 50 million for a new stadium that never happened on the books. No questions were raised of course as to where that 50 million went as certainly consulting fees etc wouldn’t scratch that figure
