PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[Protein Junkie]

Barnsley kicked out of FACup for fielding an ineligible player.
“Yeh but City got 115 charges”
“Must be guilty paid a massive fine to UEFA”
“ only got off on time barring “
“What about City?”

Watched a podcast from Ian Cheeseman when the news of these 115 charges was released. Took comfort from Collin Savage who explained the issue in great depth. Quick question! Has Collins view changed?

Mancini was definitely working for the sheikh / khaldoon before he replaced Hughes and was some sort of 'advisor'

For all we know mancini could have advised them that he can do the job better than Hughes

That's how I remember it, but trying to find some evidence to back up my "theory" isn't easy. All the press at the time seems to talk about Mancini being out of work since he was sacked the year before, but the press largely just print what they are told in a press release, of course. On the other hand, the Guardian did mention he was appointed partly because of his acquaintance with Khaldoon. How would he have a relationship with Khaldoon? None of this proves or disproves my "theory". We will find out soon enough and I suppose none of it really matters anyway :D

Isn’t Colin @Prestwich_Blue?

You'd better ask @Prestwich_Blue

It's almost like they have things to hide that may be uncovered if the case continues too long.

No, their money is clean because it's American, ours is filthy and dirty. That's what they keep telling us anyway

I seem to remember when Mancini was appointed something was said along the lines of Khaldoon already had a (working?) relationship with Mancini. The word trust(ed) may have been used too

Having said that my memory isn’t always as accurate as I’d like, so I might have made that up :)

I remember that too or something like he already knew him.

Rinse and repeat. Doesn’t even matter that we could in all probability be innocent.

Think this whole fiasco is a smoke screen. City win the case then we go after the prem for reputations damage and we win and this destroys the whole house of cards allowing the red shit to form a breakaway league they planned for in the first place and city get blamed for it all. I’m on my 5th beer so please excuse me.

Step away from the bar Bob. :-)

No he wasn’t. It would be completely illegal and entirely unenforceable for his old club to do that.

Hardly. It depends on the settlement. Full payoff and no job as a manager for six months (or whatever) or partial payoff and no work restriction. It’s a contract between two parties that they agree to and abide by. Mancini had a contract with Inter with three years left when he was sacked so there would have been a lot of intense discussions to settle that one!
