PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

Good point. CFG might have something to say about it.City might not be able to take things to a real court, but Etihad and other companies could if they feel they’ve been defamed.
100...Spot on. This floppy allegation is nothing but a witch hunt . There are countless counter arguments that our top lawyers will have a field da and run in circle forever.
So the obvious question is how can pl be so thick and naive ? the answer is they just want to smear the shit all over the club image and reputation if the cartel clubs can’t win trophies. They know city cant do jack shit.

Martin Samuel article in the Sunday Times today, it's pretty obvious what he thinks of Richard Masters and his co-conspirators at the PL:
What we are being asked to concede is that... Manchester City’s move from punchline to headline bringing with it some of the greatest football and footballers we have seen, plus the greatest manager, was without merit. The very thing that made the Premier League the best is being redrawn as its biggest failing.
Superb article by the only intelligent and unbiased journalist in the country.
Part of Everton's panel that dished out the 10 pt punishment was a director at West Ham at the time they paid Sheff Utd compensation for signing tevez & mascherano , hardly an endorsment of their knowledge or impartiality.
We have a Gooner season ticket holder on the panel deciding our fate , there is no such thing as independent it is quite obvious the Gooner wants at least a 10 point dedecution for us so the Goons can win the title.
Couldnt give a shite if he is a KC or MBE or Royalty like everyone in this world and will have bias and favouritism , its human nature.
The panel should consist of non football individuals , with no connection with any football club , so they can view the evidence from a business point of view , it is not a sporting charge/agenda we are accused of we have been accused of financial fraud.
I would like to agree but the Everton case does not fill me with confidence. The chairman had a clear interest in a points deduction.There's no kangaroo court. The PL has appointed a commission to hear their allegations, and the commission is headed by a very experienced KC, Murray Rosen. He will recruit two experts to hear the evidence with him, and the PL will appoint counsel to lead their case. City have already appointed counsel to present their defence. There are loads of experienced KCs involved on all sides. It won't be a stitch up with a predetermined outcome.
In our case, Rosen is not just an ST holder: he is a prominent member of one of our main accusers. Out of all the KCs available, how come the PL chose him?

Same here in theory although the need has never actually arisen yet.I’m always happy to be corrected if I’m plainly wrong. Anyone who isn’t is an insecure ****.
?..?Can you give an example of an organisation getting billions for reputational damage?
Although admittedly no legal expert, unlike most on here, I'd imagine an organisation would have to prove some quantifiable loss to gain any compensation. Other than a few ruffled feathers I can't imagine Etihad or others could actually present a viable case.
All defamation cases are about reputational damage. The more quantifiable it is, the higher the likely damages, but you don’t have to prove a specific amount.
1. We are not accused directly of overspending but of false accounting to mislead those assessing our compliance with ffp. The PL may try to quantify and show we have overspent by £x.City would be wise to bury this case until a regulator can be introduced.
3 people judging the future of a club? Nah
No bias? Nah
It is a commission payed for by the Premier! Nah
It’s all a lot of crap anyway.
Don’t give them the chance to fuck us over, keep it going round and round in legal paper until their rotten head falls off.
The concept of FFP or the new sustainability rules need ripped up and thrown out. It now evident why they rules where brought in. The football community is largely bent tho so nothing will be done until the government intervene.
For any rag/dipper/arse/Everton fan reading. City have not been charged with FFP since the Uefa case when the goal posts changed.
Everton admitted guilt for breaking sustainability rules buying crap after crap which is nobody’s business but their own. If they had of spent the money well and won a trophy they would be coming after Everton anyway.
The rags have been fined for failing ffp.
The dippers hid their overspend in a fake stadium.
Arsenal/Rwanda nothing to see here!! City built the emirates with player transfers and then after nearly 20 years of being shit gave you a manager and a few players. So suck my blue balls!
If anyone takes the time to actually look at our charges you will see that its not 115 financial breaches unless thats what you call long grass or non compliance!
I genuinely mean this, fuck the premier. They have tried to destroy city. I would prefer we didn’t participate in this fake competition anymore…Now that we have completed football -:)
2. I doubt the new regulator would “take over“ our case if it were still running.

What about that time you said I was ‘one of’ the smartest posters on Bluemoon?Same here in theory although the need has never actually arisen yet.
I suppose you were technically correct!
