PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[flb]

I was thinking this the other day. Surely

i was thinking this the other day. Surely the first thing any new players and agents must ask when they are signing for us is what’s happening with all this bullshit and want assurances that we’re in the clear. If not then I’m sure they’d run a mile. The world of football is small. They would have spoken to other players agents etc and we’d be avoided like the plague!

Naaa, they want the money and success that City will give them , but rest assured , there will be a clause in their contracts to be able to jump ship if the club was ever found guilty.

The baying mob has been enlivened by the recent ruling by the PL with regards to Everton. The stupids are speculating what will happen to City mostly based on no knowledge.

Interesting thought though, if City were guilty or there was at least a small chance we were going to receive a heavy sanction I would expect the following to have happened or be happening...

1. Haaland would not have signed for us.
2. Haaland would have asked to leave.
3. As above for other players.
4. Pep would have left.
5. Sponsors would be running for the hills.
6. We would have put stadium investment on hold.
7. Our performances would have dropped off.

In reality, the complete opposite has happened. Ignore the stupids on social media. Look at what's happening at City. City know what they have done in the past and what they going to do in the future. I believe in these guys, not some numb skulls on social media desperate for more likes and more followers.

Come on City!

I thought Haaland had a release clause if we’re relegated. Clearly mitigation by his agents against the risk of a guilty scenario.

I highly doubt that the club would want to financially ruin him even though they probably could easily do so.

His wife died of cancer aged 47 and he is bringing up their two daughters, who are both now in their late teens. It wouldn't be a great look doing that and potentially a lot worse could result.

Hope the **** gets ruined, he's a poisonous ballbag, jelly and ice cream.

Far too many on this thread need to do the following:
• stop buying newspapers
• listen to music on the radio instead of talkSPORT
• Stay off twitter.
• No podcasts.


Honestly it’ll be better for your health, sit back and let the most well organised and best run club in world football handle it.

You may be right. I've no idea about his contract. There's all sorts of speculation about his contract. Normally clauses that suggest he will leave us to go to Real Madrid which is the usual media guessing game. But, the key point is if the players thought we were doomed they would be leaving now and new players would not be joining. Plus, if we are found guilty surely there will be asterisks against all player achievements, is Haaland going to want that on his CV? He will have done his due diligence before joining.

I did that about 5 years ago.

I like that quote.

It sounds nice and sinister.

Bit of deep dive on Everton, Chelsea and City here...

Brilliant Stefan.
A double dose on one day when combined with the excellent 93.20 pod.

That should be the club's next statement

I thought it was a legal requirement for companies to report any evidence of fraud discovered to the police? So if the PL believe they have the evidence why has it not been raised formally to the authorities?

We really don't know what has been done, I suspect what is holding this whole thing up is the legality of how the information was obtained, irrespective of any guilt.
