PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[Jazzman]

And in the meantime the FA would like our stadium for the Euros. I suppose it would be unwise to destroy our club beforehand.

It will only go away when City start taking legal action against libellers. A letter of intention should do it as those guys know that they would lose any action.

You could be right but for whatever reason the policy appears to be to stick to our business plan and not be sidetracked by other things.

Can Prestwich Blue give us a definitive answer as to the ownership of MCFC? Is it a very rich Sheik or the state of Abu Dhabi.I am fed up of hearing all the pundits, so called journalists and fans of other clubs spouting their bile on the subject.I dont mind either way but it would be good to know the truth on the subject.

You still dont know who owns us ? I say us ..

@POYNTON BLUE LEADER. Ffs look at our accounts which are published on line. City is a wholly owned subsidiary of CFG. CFG is owned about 80% by Mansour and 20% by Silver Lake.
Mansour does not own City and has no shares in it. He is noted on the accounts as a person of influence because he holds over 75% of CFG shares. If you want to look at CFG accounts you will need to go to Companies House site as they are no longer published on line by CFG. There you will find the parent company of CFG which is Newton Investments which replaced ADUG. That co is wholly owned by Mansour. Both City and CFG are British registered companies but Newton is not, so you can’t look behind the curtain there.
Sorry @kaz7 replied to wrong post.

The appeal would be subsequent to the judgment. Should it go against us.

Is the correct answer. Both Everton and City are disputing the breaches, so they go to an "independent" panel for judgment. If we dispute the judgment, we can then appeal, after which it goes to an "independent" appeals panel, and then, if we still disagree, we can take it to an arbitration panel more along the lines of CAS (choose one member each and agree on a third) on certain limited grounds.

Everton is pretty simple, will be quick. Ours is so complicated, convoluted even, that I could be finished before the process is.

The 115 charges suggest that we have?

I thought the 115 allegations had been passed to an independant tribunal to decide if they are going to charge us?

 

[Chippy_boy]

Is it possible that even if we are found to be 100 percent not guilty that it will then go away?

I don't think so.

Let's just get used to being the City that the media hate and the PL don't want.
Our success has increased their feelings rather than eroding their dislike.

Two things will bring about change from our enemies, firstly ownership change or secondly our demise regarding on and off field success. Neither are likely when they continue to tweak our collective tails.

Just an opinion but time may bring change anyway.

There's a third way.

If you look at the media's treatment of Chelsea when Abramovic took over, it was not entirely dissimilar to that of our own. Perhaps not as vitriolic but there was plenty of comment about Chelsea ruining football by buying anyone they want and paying inflated transfer fees and wages. This really only died down when we came along and such criticisms were largely forgotten. We became the new subject of hate, the new cat to kick.

So will this change over time as/when Newcastle start winning things, spending more and more and pushing the likes of Liverpool, Arsenal, United further down the table? Will we become more accepted and Newcastle will be the focus of their hatred? Quite possibly, IMO.

No because Newcastle are perceived to be a proper club with magnificent supporters with a superb fan base. However we know this to be not strictly true when they were in difficult times

 

[Colin Bells Boots]

Maybe, but there will be the independent regulator for whom only City voted. Redshirts on a sticky wicket the day he/she takes office.

Possibly the day that the runways need clearing for the synchronised take off of the specialist pigs you mean ?

Much of the criticism is xenophobia driven. The Americans lose their shit at Arabs for the events of 9/11, because they are all the same aren’t they. Just this week Trump has blamed the attack on Israel on Biden “and his boss Barack Hussein Obama.”
