PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[johnnytapia]

The moment we bought Robinho they decided to try and stop us. It hasn't worked so far and hopefully good will prevail over evil again.

I wished they had stopped us. He was shite.

COULD WE FACE A COMPO PILE ON ?

Two rulings were published yesterday. The "other one" has gone under the radar. It was triggered by a formal complaint to the PL by five clubs and was also referred to an Independent Commission (IC).

The five clubs Inc Leeds, Burnley etc requested 2 rights.

1 To be active participants in the IC hearing against Everton. NOT ALLOWED.
2 To establish the right to claim compensation against EFC if found guilty of gaining a sporting advantage. ALLOWED.

According to PL rules the 5 clubs must submit their compensation claims within 28 days.

How many clubs have filed a complaint to the PL seeking compensation against MCFC just in case we are clobbered ?. Why is it not in the public domain. Eg Any club that finished 5th and missed out on a CL place.
if the club are now getting twitchy we may see signs of resilience planning. For example if KDB was transferred to Saudi in January for an amazing fee say £75M.

Haven’t got a clue what you’re on about or what you are basing your comments on.

Just got thinking like you do when your board so if we got chucked into a lower league ( which by the way I don't think will happen ) would pep and all the players stay loyal to the club, I would like to think so.

Nope. But we’d gain lots of fans who were no longer worried about us as a threat.
Well, you did ask

Mail online now in full flow with an article saying Everton could possibly pick up a further points deduction and then saying the EPL should not hold back with severe punishment to Chelsea and City if found guilty.

It seems that the media want some huge stories with clubs getting huge penalties without looking at the bigger picture …….English footy bubble will burst and we no longer have the best league in the world.
Could be the beginning of the end of the PL

Posted this in the Everton thread but it could possibly apply to any club breaking a rule and gaining a sporting advantage. Could lead to absolute carnage. Promotions, play off places, relegation, CL places.

Unless its just lucky Everton it applies too. Any lawyers on here?

He's on about ^ ^ THIS ^ ^

So let’s take Spitty at his word. it took a year to bring Everton to book and award them a sanction, we have 115 charges, so every single charge is on the same level of Everton’s, it must be if Spitty says so, hence, our sanction should arrive in 2138.

Jo will be cup-tied. I think.

Must hurt the fucks that we have their trophy!

Funny enough tho, Uefa pulling a fast one on us won’t have been forgotten on Khaldoon when dealing with the premier. We won’t get caught short again. It’s the main reason I am confident that the club will prevail. Sponsor paid for a service and city with a pep winning team delivered, the end. Mansour bribing every accountant and every business owner is outlandish. He wouldn’t have the time nor the inclination to do so.

Let’s say hypothetically that city spent the same amount of money but didn’t win anything. How would mansour Benefit? He wouldn’t and the club wouldn’t. The whole organisation is run superbly and that’s what the idiots cant understand. Yea we may have used influence from time to time but that’s business and no different from the American owned clubs linking up with sponsors in the US.

They tried to strangle us at birth & ever since they pulled that FFP account stunt in 2013, it's been move, counter move, smoke & mirrors between us & them

Khaldoon said we'd take the pinch that once, BUT if they came at us again, he swore he'd rather spend £30m hiring the world's best lawyers, than pay another penny in fines to UEFA.

With our last scrape with UEFA, we copped for a £10m fine, but that was for non-cooperation, albeit we explained to CAS our reason was the last time we were straight with UEFA, they shifted the goal posts at the 11 hour & stiffed us.

We've been daggers drawn with them ever since. Fuck em, if they want war, we go to war!
