PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

I take it he's allowed in every week for free and fed and watered?

Eamonn Sweeney, City living in his head rent free, he's like a drunk walking along Ballymun Road in the 60s and 70s on his way to score in the high rise flats/tenements. Fancy having to live with yourself with that negativity flying thtough your mind. I will say a prayer for him if I ever go to church again.;-)

My preference would be a voodoo doll and a sack full of very sharp needles.

Sweeney? I'm not sure he's ever been to The Etihad. He's an Irish dipper who "writes" for the Irish version of the (not so) Independent.

What a fuckin rotter….

Obviously no-one on here knows what the timeframe might be but that to me makes no sense whatsoever and it certainly wouldn't be in our interests for it to drag on for so long.

The headline figure of 115 charges seemingly consists of a relative handful of actual potential offences (Mancini's contract and a few others) and is padded out by them being repeated for different years plus multiple non co-operation charges. I can't see how that it would take years for an independent panel firstly to decide if the PL has any meaningful evidence or not for each basic charge. Any that they decide that they don't are dismissed and any they think they do then the club would put forward their counter arguments and they reach a conclusion on them. My hope is that it is concluded before the start of next season.

I’ve said before if we’re charged with so many offences it’s impossible other clubs haven’t committed the same or similar.

Exactly. The pitiful montage of headlines by that stupid Sweeney fella exemplifies it. The majority of those stupid headlines have subsequently be proven wrong. Wrong, wrong and wrong again. And stupid. How many times must he get things wrong before he realises how stupid he looks. The stupid ****.

their like goldfish oh look another castle

I don't think their smear campaign has worked at all. A brand that is damaged by a smear campaign isn't going to generate 85 percent YOY retail sales growth. Accelerating revenues is a sign of a resilient brand that can overcome a lot being thrown at it.

Same as plastics in this country don't get over excited the shenanigans at Real and Barcelona.

You guys have no idea how bad it is in Ireland for anti--City bias, Sweeney is particularly bitter, but we unfortunately have Delooney as well, not to mention the TV commentators. The media here is infested with Liverpool fans, parading as independent journalists, they wouldn't look out of place on the Liverpool Echo or RAWK, but incredibly Sweeney writes for the biggest selling daily and Sunday newspaper.

I'm glad someone is finally highlighting Sweeney, he actually wrote this in the sports pages of a national newspaper; "It is Liverpool who have become, as that Barcelona motto says, more than a club....These days the major clubs increasingly resemble major US sporting franchises. Yet there is still something different about Liverpool, a club for which tragedy and triumph will be intermingled for as long as the game is played. Liverpool remind us of the time when the football produced by a club seemed like a reflection of the character of the community it represented."

City couldn’t care less what people think, they stuck to the plan and won the lot over and over.

It’s only some of our fans that care. Personally I don’t but I can see why others do.

The media want to keep this going. Ironically City fans getting triggered is what they want. Don’t rise to it and the press move on.

It's impossible to be the number 1 football brand in the World and have a successful smear campaign against us. The people that matter don’t care. Rival fans have to say something it’s all they have left.


Eyes on the prize, always. No distractions, ever.

It's like the rags and dippers claiming the Newcastle goal was legit. Not because they may believe it, the reason is they don't see Newcastle as a threat, for this season at least. If the bar codes actually were a more serious threat than Arsenal, then you can bet their outrage would be off the scale.

still waiting for PL to confirm the deep investigation into Chelsea affairs of what they "self-reported" to Uefa and got a quick 10m euros punishment.
highly doubt same issues would not be breaching bunch of PL rules historically.

that before any of these new stuff from the Cyprus leak with Abra and off book payments etc.

having said that not sure how Chelsea able to meet current FFP rules with their recent spending of a billion pounds almost. with CL revenue this season and they are in a huge fight to even be back in CL next season.
and I guess they will continue to spend big in January again and then next summer again.
long term contracts may help a bit but no success on the pitch and heavily underperforming like last year surely has to put them under huge FFP risk.

Like bricking team and supporters coaches, throwing bottles at Joe Corrigan, booing Ederson as he was carried off and a criminal attack on a young girl. What a community.
