Just for clarification - I thought the panel had been selected which is why we objected to the KC Rosin who’s an Arsenal fan?? Anyone know who is on the panel

PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules
- Thread starter ayrshire_blue
- Start date
I genuinely believe that in their heads they thought if we throw enough at them, theyll take a plea and go away and we will win, i dont think it was ever in their heads that we would fight it and now they are a little bit stuck as it isnt a fight they want as it may expose alot of the shady dealings that everyone knew was happening but had accepted as part of the norm but if it comes out then they will have to be faced and alot of clubs and chief execs will have alot of uncomfortable questions to answer.We did take a “pinch” before! So it can’t be totally ruled out.
I would say apart from the bravado on show, the club just want this whole mess to go away and for them to be accepted. Before all this financial shit started I would hazard a guess that Khaldoon had no interest in taking on the cartel or breaking ffp. We seemingly have no choice now because they won’t play nicely with us.
What we are seeing is a power play to control football by keeping the status quo using any tactic necessary. It’s a dirty business fight to see who comes out on top for the next 30,40,50 years.
The not so impartial media have taken the side of the red teams due the aforementioned clubs popularity and ability to garner huge commercial gains. The premier league have also taken sides which is disappointing.
We are not wanted because it causes too much competition and loss of revenue for certain clubs.
Crucified before we even got the chance to put on our coat to answer the charges. Right & wrong doesn't come into it imo.
Now the fight is heading towards a hidden tribunal. Boats loads of legal texts that can be manipulated to suit whatever argument you want to convey.
City are up against a system designed to keep us as a second class football club. We have enough money tho to keep this case going around in circles for years. We may have no choice but to wait them out now.
Buckle up.
If they thought we would take a pinch, they are really stupid. Khaldoon said he would rather spend £300m on the best lawyers than kowtow to them. Were they not listening?I genuinely believe that in their heads they thought if we throw enough at them, theyll take a plea and go away and we will win, i dont think it was ever in their heads that we would fight it and now they are a little bit stuck as it isnt a fight they want as it may expose alot of the shady dealings that everyone knew was happening but had accepted as part of the norm but if it comes out then they will have to be faced and alot of clubs and chief execs will have alot of uncomfortable questions to answer.

when you have known the pl or its governing bodies to not be stupid, the pl has become a success in spite of the people running it not because of themIf they thought we would take a pinch, they are really stupid.

You’re working on the assumption the PL itself had any choice whether to bring charges. The PL actions are dictated by Arsenal, United, Spurs, Liverpool et al.I genuinely believe that in their heads they thought if we throw enough at them, theyll take a plea and go away and we will win, i dont think it was ever in their heads that we would fight it and now they are a little bit stuck as it isnt a fight they want as it may expose alot of the shady dealings that everyone knew was happening but had accepted as part of the norm but if it comes out then they will have to be faced and alot of clubs and chief execs will have alot of uncomfortable questions to answer.
It was those clubs who decided to bring charges against city not the PL and it shouldn’t come as any surprise as they had nothing to lose by doing it.
Case comes to nothing = city’s reputation is damaged.
Case is proven = city are sanctioned.
from the time of the sheikh taking over they have always sought to damage citys reputation, its all they know how to do they tried to do it with chelsea when they first threatened them but the reality is the weapons they have are weak, the red tops dont have any kind of global reach and are just quoted ad nauseum by morons.You’re working on the assumption the PL itself had any choice whether to bring charges.

What the mail says may resonate with dave from london who went to old trafford on a day trip once and swears blind that city are cheating cos utds istree means that they are best club in the world but the reality is that the pl is now a global brand and what the mail says doesnt reach australia , usa etc etc and our reputation far outweighs the pathetic tired bullshit being trundled out by the supposed legacy club and even if they want to go down that route it would only serve to expose their own nefarious dealings.

I can assure you, the mail definitely reaches Australia. The unfortunate thing is a lot of older ex pats are here who supported the red suite who spout the same shit. Granted it's not on the same scale as the uk but it's the same issue. And like the uk, the tide is slowly turning except at a quicker ratefrom the time of the sheikh taking over they have always sought to damage citys reputation, its all they know how to do they tried to do it with chelsea when they first threatened them but the reality is the weapons they have are weak, the red tops dont have any kind of global reach and are just quoted ad nauseum by morons.

Agree with all tgat except keep us as second class, never have been, never will and currently most definitely are not ;)We did take a “pinch” before! So it can’t be totally ruled out.
