PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[Goatmeal]

If the evidence is so irrefutable it must end all the PL charges.

I’m guessing we wouldn’t show our hand on the refutable evidence until it’s at the hearing.
Otherwise they would try to meander round it.

What has that got to do with the length of the proceedings?

Are we nearly there yet?

This all politics.

A rational individual can see that the Premier League stands next to no chance of proving the charges against City, but having painted themselves into a corner, with the eyes of the football world upon them, the League can't be seen to back down. So millions will be spent over the next few years to arrive at the inevitable conclusion, that there's no substantive evidence to back the charges up.

Of course, by that time the present runners and riders in this Premier League fiasco will have retired to their yachts and country estates.

For now the existence of the charges is enough, it drives the cheating narrative and when it does finally come to an end with the charges not proven, City will be exonerated, but without fanfare and sprinkled with ifs and buts, the process will have done what it was designed to do all along.

Dipper media again resurrecting the "Dippers are watching with interest " bollocks , what do they think will happen ? the history books will be changed and they will be awarded a couple of titles from a period were we were not even under investigation . Correct me if i am wrong but arent the charges between 2012 and 2018 , they bottled their title challenges after this period. Dreamers

Our commercial rivals are desperate to secure an outcome they cannot possibly achieve with the evidence they have and the regulatory tools at their disposal.

To do what City are alleged to have done would've required the co-operation of a large number of individuals and high ranking executives in sizeable corporations and accountancy firms, all knowingly and seamlessly engaged in a criminal conspiracy, over a considerable period of time.

The Premier League knows this.

Nevertheless they proceeded.

These 115 charges are a testimony, not to the seriousness of our crimes, but the seriousness of the challenge we pose to the business model of those clubs that really run the game.

Problem is arseholes will argue that is when we built the foundations for future success so it is relevant ie Tevez led to yaya led to silva led to Sergio……led to Harland. Sooner it’s done with the sooner we can stop the smug bitter wankers snipping.

It's a crazy situation and the time taken is ridiculous in the extreme.

I have no doubt we have not broken the rules but IF our evidence is "irrefutable" the timeline is just wrong.

Whichever club is accused of breaking FFP, the investigation/punishment/not guilty verdict should be completed quickly and efficiently for the good of everyone and the whole process should be public and transparent.

The best interests of all parties/justice is served by taking the required amount of time to present and examine all the evidence.

Applying an arbitrary timeline to it absolutely goes against this.

The arseholes will never stop their jealous bitching.

It's what they are really good at along with feeling victimised !
