PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[Gordyola]

Exactly. Even if we were guilty of the Mancini stuff, I don't see how we've gained an advantage given we were making eye-watering losses at the time and the "arrangement" pre-dated FFP.

I will add that I don't believe we've done anything massively untoward on that one (or any of the others for that matter) and as I said the other week, it looks like the arrangement was not for our benefit but to help Mancini in terms of not having to pay full UK tax. If anything, it looks like one for HMRC to look at but it seems even they're of the opinion that there's nothing to see here, given that this has been in the public domain for 5 years now and there have been no stories since of the taxman turning up and kicking City's door down.

Not widely reported in the mainstream media but our neighbours in Trafford and Newcastle United are being investigated by HMRC Both have included provisions in their accounts Remember this when City are accused of cheating

Recent examples of HMRC investigations include both Manchester United and Newcastle United, who stated in their most recent financial accounts** that they are currently subject to investigations by HMRC

The PL have passed it to an independent commission comprised of KC not much different that CAS

To expel City from the PL will take some extraordinary judgement and wont happen

If they can do it they will. Once the initial appeal has completed any legal action will take years.

Not sure if they're both linked to be honest but it would be piss funny if they were!

Billionaires only get in trouble when they piss off richer & more powerful billionaires.

I’m sure Joe Lewis is a fucking wrongun & what’s he in trouble for? Giving love interests & friends tip offs.

So you are assuming the independent commission will find City "guilty" ?

Now, is that one charge or 11 individual charges like the league has done over the financial stuff? :/
