PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[lancs blue]

Why would Mancini even be appealing as a pundit to Al Jazira if he wasn't City manager (I'm assuming that was what he was paid for)

The contract was as consultant to Al Jazira FC in Abu Dhabi, not the Qatar TV station.

Once it’s all over I’d love to see Mancini on I’m a celebrity get me out of here. He could tell some great stories around the camp fire.

Common sense says the Premier league would be mad to belittle their "product" by finding the club that has dominated their "product" for a decade guilty of cheating.
If we suffer any punishment it will make the Premier league a laughing stock , and if the Premier league fail to punish us they will be a laughing stock to just the Rags & Dippers , the impending verdict on our charges will explain who runs the Premier league , two self entitled clubs or the other eighteen who make up the league.

I don’t think it will. The premier league don’t have a say in what the commission decides in terms of guilt or punishment. Just got to wait and see what the judgment says, I wouldn’t be surprised if it makes the premier league look a laughing stock for some of it. Other parts of it less so.

So what’s the general feeling then now after what’s happened to Everton?

PB - apologies if this has already been answered but just whilst you're here...

Do you have knowledge of how the panel works in terms of "who goes first", IE does the Premier League out their evidence across and we then defend ourselves? Or do we show all of our submissions which we believe proves us to have acted legally and they then get the opportunity to pick holes and attack our submissions?

Appreciate how criminal trials work but just wonder if this is the same?

How the panel works:

Justice for the

Not sure, given their history at a certain Belgian stadium, that you should be using the words 'Liverpool' and 'push' in the same sentence.

29/05/85..... A bad day for football you goofy gurning twat.

Does no one think that maybe, just maybe, we did break a few rules?

No - otherwise we’d have been done by now.

Clever accounting, bending the rules is a perfectly reasonable response to an organisation trying to use accounting rules to stop progress.

We’ve been investigated more than any other organisation & these are the only things they can throw at us.

Yes imo, but them proving it to the required standard of proof is a totally different matter.
