PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[mancity2012_eamo]

This is all politics.

Any 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, but eventually this farce will come to a conclusion, with the charges not proven, City will be exonerated, but without fanfare and sprinkled with ifs and buts.

The "trial of Manchester City" will have to end one day, but not without doing what it was designed to do all along.

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.

And this.

A local paper which in the last 12 months has been the worst performing in the Uk with a huge decline in print sales( now 7000 copies sold daily) and it’s online viewers have fallen 50 pc. Totally irrelevant.

They are reaping what they sow - disgrace for a local paper to treat us the way they do. Let the decline continue.

But according to Chris in London, who practices the law every day, they're wrong.

And not just on matters of law. Some pretty stupid mistakes on background too.

I don't know what it is with Sheffield University. They seem to spend a lot of time looking at Manchester these days. Trying to develop a reputation by pandering to the masses maybe? The doctoral equivalent of click-baiting. If they are, they shouldn't be making so many bloody mistakes.

The investigation - putting together the case against us - took 4 years. Why should the process of testing the case against us take substantially less time?

Again why did it take 4 years?

I would suggest the evidence against us is minimal to zero, and our "irrefutable evidence" would destroy instantly.

Why did both sides spend hours in the courts trying to make this a private matter>?

A strange tactic from both sides IF there is nothing to hide.

I had a flashback to Clubcall in the late 80s there. He basically spent eight minutes saying pretty much nothing.

I thought you were going to break out with cigarettes and alcohol at the beginning of your post there Keeper. :)

You know I'm just catching up and got through the second paragraph with that tune accompanying my reading.

Practises.

I did the MEN a disservice. They actually sell 8000 print copies in a metro area with a population of more than 3 million people. Manchester is one of the fastest growing cities in Europe so that's a pathetic figure.

Meanwhile their website audience is also plummeting which is pitiful when their online viewers are dominated by overseas football fans and City have just won a treble.

Their performance is beyond bad. The worst in the entire country. That's what happens when you alienate your core customers ie supporters of Manchester City, the local football club. They won't survive much longer. No matter how much they mock our club it isn't working for them.

The sooner that pathetic shitstain of an excuse for a local Rag (every pun intended) goes under, the better.
