PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

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.

Or......an independent regulator is appointed, looks at our case and says to the premier league, "What the fuck is this pile of horseshit??? Drop it now!"

Breaking PL rules by not providing them with accounts which show a true and fair view. That can only happen for two reasons. One, the PL disagrees with the management and the auditors on some accounting treatments. Goid luck with that one. Or two, management didn't fulfill their responsibility to disclose everything to the auditors that they needed to determine a true and fair view. Sounds pretty "fraudy" to me.

If they did disagree on accounting trearments, then surely that would have happened at the time they were submitted. Can't just turn around a decade later and say we've changed our mind on how we see it. So it can only really be two.

Or in 12/24 months time, the independent regulator is in place, skim reads the evidence, takes more independent advice and upon hearing the advice, drops the charges

Will the independent advice come from a civil servant…. Does Masters get sectioned? Levi falls from a building & the red Yanks go down in helicopter….

Just asking ;)

Yip, but even if it was reviewed by an independent panel and they ruled there is no evidence (as CAS did) and cleared the club, City is still tarnished and we'll always have it thrown at us
Get used to it brother, or sister

This is what needs the happen. Other clubs need to wake up quickly and realise we're not the enemy here,the redshirts are and they're shafting them hard and have done for years. Let's get together and go after them, see how they like it.
 
Just received from fellow blue anyone else listen to it ?
Listening to Cheesamans last night ,Forever Blue, he had a guest Mike McClean,
He said he has inside knowledge than City's barristers have a recording whereby the Premier league board members quoted " We cannot have Man City winning the league for a forth time on the trot"
He quotes the Premier League board are totally corrupt !!
