PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[Dribble]

is this a criminal case or a civil case? If it’s criminal the PL can look back as far as they want. If it’s not deemed any law breaking has taken place the limitations act kicks in at the point of discovery which is the Der Spiegal articles. I imagine this is probably what the back and forth with the Premier League is all about.

We've faced these accusations previously & were cleared, & we're now facing the same accusations again by a UEFA related party. Double jeopardy?

It's many City fans mind set these days, everything is a stitch up from the cup draws we don't get to the ones United do get. Referring decisions, order of premier league fixtures, commentary bias, media coverage bias, the list is literally endless.
The funny thing is that fans of opposing teams agree it's just that they think it's a stich up in our favour!

Some is good old fashioned paranoia but sometimes the paranoia is for good reason.

We’ve seen rule changes, bans, charges after blatant attempts to destroy us so sometimes people get carried away when they say they are out to get us & sometimes they are on the money.

What's really upsetting in all of this is the collateral damage to our reputation.
Some of the comments I read are very upsetting and border line racist.

People will believe we're guilty no matter what the investigation finds - that's sort of the goal.

Personally don't let it bother me.

My understanding of pages in the distant past is that we are being done for false accounting, fraud which is a criminal offence. So my question is why aren't the police and hmrc all over us, as surely PL have a duty to refer us at the onset of suspicion.

Nail on the head aside from fraud... What we're being accused of amounts to fraud, so why's that word never been used, & why hasn't the 'evidence' been handed over to the Plod & HMRC?

Even more curious is why neither have been in touch with the PL to request access to their 'evidence', & why neither have swooped on the Etihad, slapped the bracelets on Khaldoon & carted him off in a meat wagon?

Dame Dinenage - a Baroness no less, for services to the bleeding obvious and doing her job - and someone with form for condemning before a legal verdict, I think it was she, asked/intimated about whether is was fair we had expensive lawyers compared to "smaller clubs".

HOW! is she allowed to make such statements??

We are going to have to harness our inner 70s, 80s 90s spirit and not fold at name calling - whatever the knagaroo court outcome. We know what has happened here and what we have achieved - that's all that matters.
Ignore the jealousy and bitterness.

What worries me is they will not want us to walk away Scott free of all charges it will make them look fools they will want something to appease the red shirted masses.

Dineage should surely be asking the questions just like her Dad used to do:

“How”

One for the FOC’s.

bollocks, beat me to it!
