PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[crossie]

2 government have spoken about our case, that says it all. Saudis threaten the security of defence contracts with the UK if the right outcome doesn’t occur. Khaldoon says things amounting to “don’t fk with us”.

Sunak has actually been involved in this mess.

I think it’s now about the PL trying to find an exit strategy that doesn’t embarrass them and they can’t. I reckon they’ll have said “how about a suspended fine” and we’ve just said no, because then we’re guilty, but we’re not, so revoke everything.

I also think we have a dossier of evidence that would quite clearly show the PL try to fix the top 4. We were a massive blow to their little game. Thing is, we now bring in more money than any of the old Sky 4. They should have embraced our investment into the league, country and game in general.

All those clubs who voted in FFP to stop us and Chelsea were signing their own death warrants. They can’t catch up, they’re doomed for eternity because of their own short sightedness.

We couldn’t have been luckier. We are absolutely blessed with the best owners and best management team in the world.

Yes there is established sports law granting rights of appeal….as I said at the time. We are getting found guilty by the PL and the court of opinion and then ending up in the real Courts

The right of appeal within the PL rules is before a fresh tribunal not a Court.

Whilst not theoretically impossible, it would be very difficult to get the High Court to overturn any sanction imposed as, unlike with CAS in the UEFA case, they would only have the power to do so over matters of procedure and they would not determine any issues of fact.

You’re assuming all the other players stayed
Which most definitely they wont

Juventus got round that problem by keeping the big stars contracts and loaning them to other clubs.

Probably got it in their contracts that they can leave for peanuts if we were ever relegated, it wouldnt just be a year in the Championship and then back to normal, it would set us back years.
Good for us that it aint happening

As a know nowt about all these allegations ,and our response (which puts me in the same bracket as Spitty etc,apart from the faith I have in our owners) I am really looking forward to the complete meltdowns from all our detractors, it will be on a par with 93:20.

Where are the Billy big bollox legal experts on here that said there was absolutely no grounds for appeal if found guilty? Obviously there is after all

If I remember correctly…. They said there was no appeal to a court of law, just an appeal to the PL and the appeal would be heard by a new commission. This is the route Everton are pursuing I think.

Good god, piss boiling on twitter is on another level today after the Everton announcement, you,d of thought the club would be pressing behind the scenes to get this sorted once and for all. Once we're cleared there's going to be one hell of a melt down.

How people within the club are feeling with amount of shit thrown our way I've no idea, it's certainly draining from a fans perspective I know that.

Saudis?

So what’s happening? Are we going to be okay?

No mate.

Stan Collymore and some headcase called Eugene saying we’re going to get bummed.

I must have read 100s of comments today saying that if we are exonerated, it will be because we have expensive lawyers and have been paying bribes. Some fans of other clubs will never accept our innocence. Guess we will just have to live with it.
