More to the point why did we not find out what the charges were?All i read about is what about City?
My pals just made a good comment….
The Rags failed FFP in July 2023 and were fined £257,000 - why weren’t they docked points like Everton?
They were referred to as “minor”.
Everyone of ours was listed.
I would sooner make a judgement on what they breached. Stinks of a cover up.
The sad thing is probably not. Their original retort used to be 'they'll get bored and leave', once they realised they were serious they had to find a new angle. Once this one is done there'll be a new thing.Would any of these financial witch hunts even exist if the rags were still winning things most seasons?

Exactly! And how will the ”independent“ panel not be swayed by the trial by media?Well just imagine what it will be like when we get to and around the actual date of the hearing it’ll be wall to wall coverage everywhere,wouldn’t be surprised it brings the internet down ..

“Small” is a term that is routinely deployed pejoratively from supporters of certain clubs in the PL towards others clubs. On that basis the word should be used with great caution and consideration by the Chief Executive of that league, most especially when describing clubs that would be the subject of that description.Richard Masters has never done anything to make me think he's more of a football fan than refer to those clubs as small.
Clubs will be called small compared to City in stadiums, bars, clubhouses, u9 pitches, dinner tables, pubs, twitter, the newspapers, TV, podcasts. By managers, owners, players, pundits, journalists and fans.
And yet an executive says it everyone pretends they would never dare to refer to another club as small and it's really just not on. How could anyone in charge of a business where some teams earn £850m a year and £400m wage bills while some earn £100m and spend £50m a year refer to one as being bigger than the other? How can a club with 9 league titles be referred to as bigger than a club with none? How could a club with a 60,000 seater stadium by bigger than Luton?
The abosolute definition of manufactured and performative outrage.
If Masters was competent in his job, he would appreciate this.

Anyone any idea as to.why the date for the hearing has to be a secret?
At the back of my mind, I keep telling myself that if they had any doubts at all that we will be fine, surely the stadium development wouldn’t have startedI’m treating this with with the old plane analogy. When we hit a bit of turbulence do the stewards look nervous?….
Do pep the players or khaldoon look nervous?

Well said.You take a very contrary line don't you.
You probably think you're being pragmatic.
OK - have it your way. But for a CEO to refer numerous times to clubs like Everton and Forest - with their history and achievements, as small, is unprofessional, undiplomatic and discourteous. He should have been more aware, especially in the febrile environment that he has created/presided over.

Agreed by the PL and City I think, otherwise it will become even more of a media circus (no more clowns please).Anyone any idea as to.why the date for the hearing has to be a secret?

Yeah they all looked desperate for a way out on Saturday night celebrating in front of our fans after the game! LolLol I been on another forum, it's fun. Apparently this blokes lives in Aldly Edge ( City players live there ) and he heard that City players are very worried about points deducted and relegation. The players are getting ready to leave !
