PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[Brightwell Bros.]

why cant he tell us a date, probably because he doesnt know himself

Both parties agreed for it to be a closed door and confidential hearing.

It's bizarre how city are the target of their anger - open your eyes and look at who is responsible you bellends

Themselves…? ;)

So there is a date set for the hearing but they are not telling when

Clearly a PR move after the Everton and Forest charges yesterday.

What he's said basically means, "The case will eventually be resolved so by default there is a date the verdict will be delivered, but we don't know when it'll be resolved so we don't know what the date is yet".

Masters constantly referring to "smaller Clubs" - think we know where his loyalties lie.

He also said that FSR was brought in to curtail ‘investment’ - he didn’t say spending! The mask has slipped

Daphne Hardy : I can't do it? Stanley : No, because I paid my room and board in advance, and I gave it to him. Ollie : What do you mean you gave it to me? That was the money that *she* gave to *me* and *I* gave it to *you* to give to *him* then *you* gave it back to *me* and I had to give it to *her* to give to *him*!

maybe to stop awkward question being asked and needing answers he didnt have

There were direct quotes at the time from former Wigan owner Dave Whelan, revealing it was all designed to stop City because noses were out of joint.

Graham Souness also said something similar a year or two back ..

Not sure it's really new news that a date has been set for the hearing. Mike Keegan reported that back in November:

Man City and the Premier League agree date for trial

EXCLUSIVE BY MIKE KEEGAN: The top-flight charged its champions with 115 alleged breaches of financial regulations in February after opening an investigation in 2018.

Its not getting resolved within the panel. This hateful poison will likely stay for generations.

That last line is spot on.

Like others on here I always appreciate any input from Stefan aka projectriver. To that end, I follow him on social media and always read both his posts and his replies to other people. Interesting to see that someone has asked him something this morning that has crossed my mind too. That being the sheer amount of pressure to see us fucked has intensified since the Everton and now Forest cases and if that'll have any bearing on our hearing.

It'd be great to trust the process to remain completely impartial and only judge us on concrete evidence but what's going on just now is making me a bit more concerned there'll be a stitch up and we're not getting out of it.
