PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[Gordyola]

From memory, they didn't even tell us they were charging us until about half an hour before they published them, so I doubt they let whoever was PM of the week know first

True Ametin Ziegler had an article out within 30 mins of the charges amazing how detailed it was as well

Isn’t there a famous photograph of all the senior executives of these companies and organisations meeting in a New York restaurant to work out ways to eliminate serious competition?
Oh….wait a minute…..that was someone else wasn’t it?

There lies all the answers to the conundrum that this is a witch hunt is all about. I have that picture of them all sat around a table at a New York restaurant and each individual is identified has rags dippers and I believe spurcy. Bent has fuck that they are all sat there and no reason for them to be eating together other then to carve out a scheme.

No point trying to have the conversation.

Similar convo with my mate, a regional manager of a worldwide company , high salary, intelligent man, making very important decisions daily;

Me: im confident we will be found not guilty like last time.

Him: not guilty? Guilty. You got fined £10m. You were guilty.

Me: no, we were fined because we refused to cooperate with uefa after we found out they were leaking info. CAS found us not guilty and cleared us

Him: (after a 10 second pause ) ….. bull shit

I always make a point of saying we were rightly fined for none cooperation, however the fact that CAS reduced the fine by 2/3 was due to them agreeing with us that we were right to do so with the leaks of information.

Absolutely.

Didn't they make the point that if UEFA had been told everything they were told, they don't see how we could have been found guilty in the first place? But clearly they can't let City off completely because, no matter that UEFA were leaking info, they can't accept a precedent that you can ignore the governing body and just wait to go to CAS.

If we are cleared of the charges then maybe we could get a certain smoothie maker as shirt sponsor.

Everton submitting an official appeal on Friday.
Weren't we led to believe there was no recourse to appeal?

I have decided to stop worrying about this until something happens ... if it ever does.

We need to make this happen even if Mansour pays the sponsorship himself through the backdoor :)

Is there a possibility the allegations isn't that we've colluded with these multi national organisations but duped them too? As in, they aren't part of the alleged conspiracy but would be 'victims' of one (if everything the PL alleged is true)?

No
