PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[jrb]

Might get a few scraps as well. Back to the 70’s and 80’s.

Even better, we could draw FCUM in the early rounds of the cups. Imagine that.

Something I didn’t support then and I hope they have no involvement now.

You’ll excuse us on here if we don’t give a fuck what some gooner says about a gooner led attack on our club.

 

[Thornliebank]

Rangers all over again, but in England!

Slightly different circumstances, but the witch hunt will be the same. With a certain club’s fingerprints all over the feeding frenzy. In City’s case, Liverpool.

That was uefa this is the premier with different rules\laws

Two coins, same bloody faces.

They are going in for the kill, they want to destroy us. But why us? Fuck football, I give up!

Man up, FFS!

They are also changing the fit and proper persons test, coming to a panel near you soon.

There's always the £3bn a year Championship Invitational League which we could start!

Sunderland
Rangers
Celtic
Birmingham
Bolton
Stoke
Everton
QPR
Derby
Leeds
Forest
Blackburn
Middlesbrough
Sheff Weds
Sheff United
Ipswich
Preston
Bristol City
City
Burnley


Be some fucking mental aways and we could always cap tickets for all at £20.

Good idea!

Let the other cunts start up a European Super League. We can just do this^ instead

One snap of his fingers and we are sold to SilverLake and Sheikh Mansour really starts to pump money in!

FFS don't start it all off again.

Club Statement:

''Manchester City FC is surprised by the issuing of these alleged breaches of the Premier League Rules, particularly given the extensive engagement and vast amount of detailed materials that the EPL has been provided with.
The Club welcomes the review of this matter by an independent Commission, to impartially consider the comprehensive body of irrefutable evidence that exists in support of its position.
As such we look forward to this matter being put to rest once and for all.''

Seems very relaxed.

Paraphrase:
"FFS...ok, give us a moment to break out the legal HIMARS again...and don't say we didn't warn you."

It's unlikely it'll be a fast process, with this many allegations it will be a lengthy process to unwind them and it seems likely that even if found guilty of anything we'll see any punishment stayed pending appeal.

And I believe the lack of co-operation charges date back several years and are not based on what happened in the very recent term.

The biggest worry to me is what happens until things are settled. I could see this being a significant blocker to recruitment - would top talent sign with the sword of Damocles hanging, I doubt it. And if we're innocent, all the worse ... it could be a drawn-out process that ruins several seasons. If the club did break any regulations I do hope they come to a settlement and take a reasonable punishment quickly - though this remains to be seen, clearly.

No can we appeal too?

 

[Judge Roughneck]

They were grim.
Back of the Kippax people much rather pissed up the corrugated wall.







I went for a piss at Swindon last year and it's nearest I'll get to time travel.
