PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

That Jordan bloke on TS seems to think that our case will drag on to 29/30 season.
He said that the case hearing will begin towards the end of 24, then there will be an appeal against the decision etc.
Suppose City are exonerated?
He never mentioned that.
C**t!
You don't actually believe we will be exonerated first time without an appeal?

The thing is, we win the appeal then they can still cast as much doubt on us as possible without actually winning, then the 'City bought the appeal court off' tales start, no different than being cleared by CAS, not a single red shirted **** believes we were innocent and have played CAS like a lute and got away with it, classic excuse is the time-barred stuff they continue to pedal.

One of the things i struggle to understand with these charges and it never seems to get mentioned is the inward investment from firstly the China media capital to the tune of £400 million in 2015 for a 13% stake in City and then Silverlake with a further £500 million investment for 13% in 2019 .. If you believe what the premier league charges are implying , the club were paying the likes of Mancini and Yaya Toure a few million off the books to comply with FFP , paying the likes of Etisalat (a multi billion pound turnover company) £12 million to sponsor us ...All this adds up to chump change compared to the £900 million inward investment between the years 2015-19 from CMC and Silverlake... Are they not allowed to use this money to buy players and count in our favour towards FFP ?.. if they are then surely it more than covers us financially for the most of the years in question , or are they including the inward investments into the charges ?.. or am i missing something ?..
The investment was in CFG, not City.

I‘d assume most of the money will be spent in New York buying the land and building their stadium.

I have always believed City to be innocent and maintained that position throughout this whole sorry saga.
I still firmly believe that, yes, City are innocent.
In S.M.and Pep I trust.

Those investments were into the parent ie CFG, so how that relates to City, God only knows. Maybe a percentage based on relative turnovers of the sister clubs ?. It would need the mind of a financial genius to unravel that one, eg a Jordan or a Harris, so above the level of a mere mortal on BMF.
 
Can anyone advise what the rags were found guilty of and what their punishment is and how that compares to what Everton did and got 10 points deducted for? And the reality is I doubt uefa or pl properly scrutinise rags or dippers books

Edit: just googled it, breached ffp 4 years, 2019 to 2022, fined £250k. Dippers were allowed £35m in 2011 for stadium design plans for a design that was scrapped. Nothing dodgy here then

That isn't what I meant.

Whether you believe them innocent or not, do you really think the PL is not just going to find them guilty regardless and then have us go to an appeal court and then tarnish us anyway, like I suggested in the other post?
