PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

Not sure if this is good or bad…can be read both ways to me!

Fifa agent ruling could have FFP spin-off​

It happened far away from any sporting arena but hugely respected sports lawyer Nick De Marco KC has called the arbitration ruling dismissing Fifa's proposed agent caps "one of the most significant legal defeats for an international federation in sport for many years".
"There is a difference between a sporting rule that may be justified in terms that relate to matters that are integral to the essence of the sport and rules that are really about regulating commercial activity, as the fee cap was," added De Marco.
"Some financial restrictions, for example even highly controversial salary caps on sport, may well be more closely connected with competitive balance, and thus easier to justify on that basis, than others, such as the type of financial fair play rules that Uefa and the English Premier and English Football Leagues provide for in football.
"Those rules are not justified by considerations of fair competition, and in fact are often in contrast to competitive balance (in that they tend to provide an inherent sporting advantage to more established clubs with greater income revenue) but are justified on more financial grounds (upholding financial sustainability)."

I cook Italian to academy standards and I say that this is not only an abuse of meatballs but a palate outrage, a snack from hell, a shitty sandwich, a cultural abomination, a wretched ragout and an insult to Carluccio himself. It is the equivalent of a pork pie butty, of fried black pudding, of porridge made with milk and sugar. It is fit only for rags and north Mancunians where a barm is a muffin, and they spell Vimpto without a “p”.

Us Northern Mancunians who know how to spell Vimto correctly and use discerning bread semantics also know it's the North East inbreds that get off on Parmo, albeit the non-meatball variety, rather than anyone of Italian origin.
It's a little weird is Parmo; as is putting meatballs on a sandwich.

STEFAN BORSON: Premier League in unenviable spot in City legal battles

Manchester City's seemingly never-ending battle with the football authorities over matters of accounting are so esoteric you wonder who's interested.

Ian Mallon: Premier League prosecution of City looks a little naive

So far we can only speculate as to what the Premier League’s case centres on, although it has deliberately obfuscated by issuing vague references to stated rules it says were breached.

Firstly, I need to say that I am not a lawyer. Secondly, that English is not my first language. However my subjective gut feeling about that Daily Mail article was that it did not clearly enough talk about the In Dubio Pro Reo principle and what should mean for the City case. I thought the article was somewhat written to the taste of the Mail readers who want to see City punished.
Is that completely misunderstood dear Mr. Projectriver?
