PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[Metal Biker]

"Roberto Mancini... were all your payments by Manchester City compliant with FFP rules?"

"Yes"

Someone should remind Klopp that 29th May 1985 was a bad day for football considering the lengths his rancid club has gone to in attempting to erase it from history.
The sanctimonious gurning twat.

I was thinking the same they are a shameless club.

When you feel jaded around all this nonsense, just remember that the announcement of these charges spurred us on to winning the treble.

Wonder what the PL will throw at us in February next year to help us on our way.

Maybe they’ll try reverse psychology by finding us not guilty and hoping it deflates us!!

100% this ^

It was the greatest inspiration possible at the best possible time, we looked a tired, old team last autumn, these charges were the perfect "pep" up and ended in a glorious treble.

Without doubt the finest own goal from the red shirts in living memory.

When did this happen

UEFA Case: One of the charges was for non cooperation. City had refused to cooperate with the UEFA Investigative Chamber led by Yves Leterme, former disgraced Belgian PM. Leterme was accused by City of leaking information from the confidential investigation. When found guilty by UEFA they appealed to CAS. They then appealed to CAS claiming that because UEFA had broken their protocol, the case against them should be terminated. CAS however, although accepting the reasons, couldn't terminate the UEFA case / City appeal as it hadn't been heard. When it was heard, CAS reduced the fine for non-cooperation from e30M to e10M as they agreed with City but, due to City having admitted non-cooperation couldn't reject the charge The amount of the fine was noted as being due to City's considerable resources.

City have done a similar process with the PL financial investigation, see above for details

Incidentally Leterme was the gentleman who forgot to charge PSG in time and therefore their breaches went unpunished Following the CAS case verdict Leterme left UEFA

Correct except that I think the judge was a 'she'.

I don't get this non-cooperation nonsense as we disagreed with what they were asking for and took it to court. We then do cooperate when the judge says we are wrong (to what degree, we'll never know) and they then find us guilty of non-cooperation and fine us. Isn't that using coercion to force us to not take it to court in the first place?

If you are referring to the PL case against City then no fine has been levied
With the UEFA case they fined us e30M reduced on appeal by CAS to e10M, we had admitted our non-cooperation when we submitted a prior appeal to CAS to have the case thrown-out due to the leaks citing them as the reason our non-cooperation
