PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[Gordyola]

Integrity and the legal profession aren’t particularly close bed fellows. Significant parts of the profession work to get people acquitted whom they often know have committed the crime!

They are doing a job, their morals and feelings shouldn’t come into it It’s not their role to decide on the evidence or punish, that’s for the judge and jury

How about charging the rags?!. Garnacho can go do one and his pathetic overrated goal!.

Does he actually do anything when he plays for Argentina?!.

Oh no, skint owner so they just give a fine!. Makes my blood boil these Rags won't wind up and liquidate. Football would be a much more enjoyable sport to follow if they never existed.

 

[ShorehamCitizen]

Shouldn't that be "its fair share"? No apostrophe.

Grammar sucks

Isn’t that them - when they’re on the panel? :)

There still seems to be a misconception of what City have been accused of and how that is different to Everton. To recap, Everton were found guilty of breaking rules and were punished. City aren't accused of breaking rules, they are accused of circumventing processes to get around the rules. So what will be looked at is if City got an unfair advantage by using loopholes to comply with rules, that they basically 'massaged' these processes so they could comply. So that will take ages as it isn't a cut and dry 'Yes/No' Did City break known rules decision. Each charge would need to be examined to see if it was in the spirit of the rules, if there is a precedent for the way City applied their mechanisms and so on.

The way to look at it would be imagine doping in athletics and Everton and City are athletes. Everton have had a sample show that there are traces of nandrolone in their system. They've admitted it. They've got their penalty.

City have taken the same test and it is clear. However some investigators have said City have been eating an absolute shit ton of Wakame seaweed which has a naturally occurring source of a performance enhancing substance and City are saying they ate it because it contained antioxidants which have health advantages. They also say they've been up front about eating this seaweed for years and years and that they did this because it gave them a health improvement but in a natural, legally compliant way. They also say that they used an extensive network of medical experts to design this nutrition program based on seaweed, that all of the details of this program are readily available to inspect and that these medical experts have guaranteed that the program was fully legal even though it gave them an advantage.

Prosecutors are saying that City actually ate the seaweed for the performance enhancement substance but using the antioxidant argument to remain compliant. They'll therefore investigate in detail all the different medical programs to try and ascertain the intention behind the scheme. Problem with this is it is one man's word against the other.

What then will happen is the PL will say City are guilty, here's a 30 point penalty. City will then say 'fuck you, we took advice that our schemes were totally legal, you've know about these for fucking ages, we are suing you right back'. City will then unleash the legal forces of darkness and this will go on for absolute fucking AGES.

By the time it is concluded one way or the other the following things will have happened;

- Pep will have left long ago
- City will have won numerous additional trophies in this time
- Spurs will still have won fuck all
- United will once again be 'back this time, honest'

If anyone thinks this will be wrapped up within a couple of years they are sorely mistaken.

And I thought it was me that put the anal into analogy. Good post btw.

The commission is made up of at least 2 KCs the Everton panel included a financial expert as well Like I said I don’t believe the KCs will risk repretation for a kangaroo PL court, why should they?

let’s hope it’s as you say. Anything else is unthinkable.

And Arsenal still won’t have won the Premier League

Lucy Powell MP will fight our corner in Parliament. Incidentally she was in 93:20 on Saturday.

I thought I recognised her, she sometimes travels with Didsbury Blues.

Grammar sucks

Is that because she's lost all her teeth?
