PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[woody1968]

The pressure put on the PL to push our case through and punish us will be off the scale now

And that’s the farce of it - the 10 point deduction will hardly effect Everton’s season - they weren’t getting into Europe and they won’t go down. The clammer now to throw the book at us will be deafening and all will join in - not to worry. We know what and who we are and they can all get fucked.

The big difference is that Everton have clearly fallen foul of FFP regulations and i believe it is fully documented in their accounts, as such there is little to debate. However we are on completely different charges that if proven may then lead to FFP infringements.

My concern throughout all of this is the number of charges and the way they have been reported, in reality it is 6 charges over a number of years, their is a reason they released them the way they did, it is all about reputational damage. You have to wonder if this has had any impact on potential sponsership and investment.

My worry is that we were found guilty by UEFA and everyone jumped on the bandwagon and slated us, on appeal we saw just how fucked up and flimsey the evidence was against us. but we were still heavily tarnished. In the case of these charges as I understand it we don't have the immediate right of appeal to an organisation such as CAS.

Everton say straight away that they will appeal

But I've read multiple times that there is no facility to appeal if we are found guilty

Which is it?

Didn’t Everton admit wrongdoing and we’re denying it?

Everton pleaded extenuating circumstances they never claimed not to have broken the rules ! We have consistanly said we have not broken any rules and can provide conclusive and irrefutable proof, completely different to Everton !

We'll only ever clear our name with the people that actually matter... the authorities who run the game

We'll never clear our name with the media and definitely not with fans of other clubs

If, as we all hope and expect. we are found not guilty or if the charges are completely dropped, or if we just get a slap on the wrist.... in no time at all the general consensus is that "you paid off the PL as well as UEFA and CAS".. or "You forced the Government to get the PL to back off"

We may as well accept now that we will still be corrupt to the core in the eyes of the majority and nothing we ever say or do will change that

Corrupt to the core in the same way that the team plays in front of an empty stadium.
Fans of other teams will never accept and admit that we deserve the success we have.
Which is probably fair enough since we generally don't accept that of them.

Oh fuckety fuck fuck, hold on to your hats guys

The thing is Everton were almost four times over the amount set for losses so I'm not surprised they've been hit hard.

Cue the onslaught of clubs behind the scenes picking up the phone to the PL today asking about us.

That’s made me a bit nervous, though. Although when was Everton’s investigation announced? That deduction seems to have come quicker than ours…

1 charge only for Everton, bound to have been rushed through quicker. But if we do get a points deduction for our 115 charges, that's 115x10 =1150 points deduction. Lol

time for Pannick to earn his money.

I guess we're about to find out....
