PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules
- Thread starter ayrshire_blue
- Start date
It is a Witch Hunt, end of story.
As a previous poster said very apt, this is a case of "throw a load of shit at us and hope some will stick".
Where were these bastard when Rags etc were all doing those shady behind the scenes deals with Agents and paying off third parties who actually owned the players, millions going out of the game. Didn't give a fuck then. Even though it was illegal .Big Clubs giving families sweetener's etc. Real full on endemic corruption in the game.
They brought all these rules out specifically to destroy us. And that is what they are trying to do.
White American spends half a billion, hardly a peep in MSM.
If our Arab owners had spent that. We would have never herd the end of it. Chelsea Circumventing FFP by amortising contracts over 7 years, We had done this, all Hell would have been let lose. "Circumventing FFP etc"
Bastards all of them.
I have no doubt this will ultimately end in the High Court. And seen for what it was a malicious, vindictive Witch Hunt by jealous Clubs.

None of the charges nor their wording implies any law breaking at all, only Premier League rule breaking so I don’t know how you’ve worked that out.
the charges are that City knowlingly concealed payments to managers and players and hid this information from the league and by association hid this from accountants and auditors.
The charges also say we inflated our profits.
These are serious financial crime allegations. If there was truth to it then there would be serious investigations by government agencies?

We cooperated fully with CAS. The original UEFA investigation was supposed to confidential and they were leaking stuff to certain scribblers in the cabal, who were obviously putting spin on it. We told CAS we were not going to supply anything to those corrupt bastards and they understood our reasons. At this point we stopped cooperating with UEFA and waited for the CAS hearing. We were guilty of non cooperating - they were guilty of breaching the investigation conditions - the same will happen again. I suppose. I thought all this was reported at the time?
Have I remembered it incorrectly.

Have City replaced Vicky Kloss yet. The next 18 months will need an experienced professional covering that briefHang on a second - are you talking about the media approach or these specific allegations? I would agree that we have been too passive with the media, but in terms of the content of statements relating to specific allegations, I'd say we've worded them just fine.
A couple of questions...
IF they had something on us from 2009 ( or slightly more recently even), then why have they waited a decade for this?
Has any new 'evidence' miraculously appeared?
If not and they've had evidence of our wrongdoing for a long time, wouldn't they be duty bound to do something about it at the time rather than just carry on as if nothing was going on? Firstly to protect other clubs and secondly so we could address anything we were doing wrong and correct ourselves?

Collymore and Morgan wants us stripped of our titles.
We really are the cash cow for the media and world football aren't we. It's been a payday for all of them again today hasn't it. One thing is for sure though, I have complete confidence and faith is our structure, model and ownership to get us through this once again.

The uk media have had a hate campaign against us for well over 10 years now. This latest thing, although out of the blue, isn't surprising in a way, as it's been every year for as long as i can remember, but i really do believe it is racially motivated and the cheerleaders are the yanks at the red gobshites without a shadow of doubt.No, on the contrary I suspect that in the end it benefits neither the league, its brand, nor City for the sanctions to be of any real significance. I'm just guessing btw and have no professional insights or anything like that, but I can see it being a points deduction which maybe means a season out of the CL, and a slap on the wrist. But not much beyond that.
The wider damage to the club's reputation is now done. We've gone from old titles being questioned to literally every season up to and including the 100 point one being in breach of PL rules. Whether we win or lose from here, the damage is done.
This is all about timing. And they have absolutely dropped a huge bollock going after us.

They've been stripped of their dignity and credibility for years so who gives a fuck.
