PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[GaudinoMotors]

Some notable lack of understanding of how our owners view the current landscape.

It's a fair cop, ooo throw the book at us, hangings too good for us, we're not worthy. There will be no fall out, promise.

We've been working on this for years and have assembled the best legal team in the history of sport. So many legal avenues this will lead. But, we'll go quietly. Please let us back in at some point, we beseech you.

That would need to be a very small room

Cheers. Thought the leaks were from the Investigatory Chamber and not CAS and you‘re seeming to confirm that.

Hence our non-cooperation charge.

Yes - Leaks from influential insiders that are pretty much KFAs once it’s started.

It may not be finished but it would be massively diminished, simple as...

If the PL lost City and Haaland et al the TV companies would want to renegotiate their contracts.

When Parry worked for the dippers, Tariq Panja now of the NY Times worked for the MEN covering the NW. Parry was a major contact.
Just sayin’.

Panja was David Gills woman at the MEN.

Why would it?

A season without City would generate big interest.
City fighting their way back would generate big interest.

As long as exciting things are happening, which they always are, the premier league will remain massively attractive to viewers and advertisers.

I feel another Netflix series coming on if we get punished. Imagine game of the season would be City v Wrexham.

I saw a segment on the news where some MPs were urging the Government to bring forward the independent regulator in response to the Everton punishment. If the regulator comes in whilst the proceedings against us are ongoing does the commission appointed by the PL still have jurisdiction or would the regulator have some say over the case?

It would depend on whether the Government gave the Independent Regulator the powers of the Premier league and its “independent commission” and the timing of any such transition of powers.

Not from me. It was bullshit 8 months ago and it is bullshit now.

I would say there is 0% chance of the PL proving anything of the serious nature they are, as far as we know, alleging given what we already know, even on the relatively low standard of proof they are working under. Chance that they now have proof that UEFA didn't have that will, on the balance of probabilities, have greater weight than the club"s "irrefutable proof"? I would say very low, next to nothing.

And I am pretty sure none of the alleged breaches affect the club's FFP compliance, anyway, even if they are going to open up the Etihad sponsorship again, which would be an extraordinarily strange thing to do. And they would lose, imho.

Nothing that has happened in the last two weeks has changed any of the facts in our case, imo, or my view on the matter.

Personally, I feel more bullish than I did 8 months as it’s becoming increasingly clear they’re stuck and insufficient evidence.

Please god, I hope your all right.

I'm fine, thanks.
