PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[lonestay]

Sounds like the government are going to send Mr Grey from the ministry around to sort out the prems little problem !

Yeah, but if the Abu Dhabi Government contacted the British government, in order to influence an ongoing investigation or to make it go away, then that doesn't look very good, does it?

Especially if we are adamant that City are not state owned, so why is the Abu Dhabi government getting involved in a football matter?

If the intention was to have their day in court, you wouldn't be knocking on the door of number 10, as some people on here have mentioned, threatening to cancel Billions of investment.

If that is the case, then the charges have to have some merit.

If you read all of this thread you should know that those charges are agenda driven by the American owners who want their ball back and want to discredit our achievements.

Where is the evidence that it has been discussed?
There isn’t any

The government have literally confirmed it.

That it would be certain it would be brought up at a diplomatic level.

Without knowing what was said, it’s impossible to say if it’s a good (or bad) thing. It was certainly inevitable though.

F.O. "Is there any consternation over there about this PL nonsense with Manchester City?"
AD Embassy "No, a lot of laughter and that's it."


Not much of a conversation really.

Except nowhere in the article does it state the Abu Dhabi government contacted the British government. It’s the foreign office in London talking to the British embassy in Abu Dhabi, so essentially one arm of the British government talking to another.

Your misinterpretation of what has been written feels almost deliberate, it’s no surprise that posters on here are suspicious of your motives.

Agree and find it interesting that mr shallyman can’t back up his baseless bollocks . Bit of a sniff tbh.

Mr Wolf has already beat him to it, and is asking nicely....with sugar on top!

For a UK business like the like Premier league to accuse the UAE royal family of cooking the books this is going to cause issues far further up the food chain than Richard Masters , havent got a clue how much investment the UAE have poured into the UK but i am quite sure our government will not put that investment under jeopardy because some Yank owned clubs with an agenda have bullied Master's into making charges against us.
These charges are a non starter , they are not going anywhere , i was worried about the UEFA charges but i have no such issues with these 105 jumped up charges , any hearing or panel will not be deciding the outcome, as previously stated the UK government has too much to lose , they are probably already working on how the Premier league make this go away without losing face , the 'istree clubs puppet Richard Masters being dismissed would be a good start.
Employ someone who has the interests of all 20 league clubs to preside over the premier league , not just the Yankee doodle racists owners who think they can run the Premier league.

No, I mean I think the inevitability of it is a bad thing in itself.

Whether it’s a good thing or bad thing for us in this matter, I agree.

Indulge me as one of the thickies, but why wouldn't a law enacted in 2000 be relevant to actions that occurred in 2022 and 2023?

I think TH misunderstood.

The comment I replied to suggested the athletic wanted all correspondence from 2000 onwards.

I pointed out that they simply used the FOI act from 2000 to ask about 3 months worth of correspondence 12/22-3/23
