PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[lazerblue]

Hope it holds as many as the old stadium. From the sounds of it, that one was huge.

Was chaos that day

Any chance next week that some of the 'charges' have been dropped?
E.g. if city have sent them some irrefutable evidence about the mancini breaches might they have been removed?

I can understand why some people fear a stitch-up, but it's going to be a long 18 months or so if you start heading down that rabbit hole. That way madness lies. Until we see anything to suggest the contrary, I'm going to assume that the panel will be independent and that we will get a fair hearing. Otherwise, what's the point in any of this? Personally, I think there is far too much at stake, on numerous levels, for the panel just to hand out some arbitrary punishment to us in order to appease certain parties. The fallout from a guilty verdict will be huge, so they'd need cogent evidence that holds up to extensive scrutiny.

The fallout from a not guilty will be huge.

Joe Public have already made their minds up so if we end up being found not guilty it’ll be littered with every rationale under the sun except, of course, that we might be innocent.

I just can't wait for this to be over and done with. Sick of all the scouse/rags/tarquins etc going on about how we are guilty and should be relegated to wherever THEY want us to be relegated to, strip us of titles THEY never came close to winning yada, yada, yada. Yet not one of these morons have one scrap of tangible evidence to prove these charges. They are not privy to any of the evidence collected by the Premier League, City and their legal representatives. But there they are still acting as judge, jury and executioner, pontificating over others how clean their clubs are when we know different. These people are just beyond a joke.

I can't wait for the fallout that will inevitably come out of any verdict from the inquiry because, win or lose, City will unleash a shit load of hell on the Premier League. Those clubs who thought they are untouchable will suddenly be running for cover as questions, serious fucking questions will be asked about their finances and their adhesion to these FFP, PSR and other rules the league has brought in. Then those fans of the hated 8/9 will be singing a very different tune. And I for one will be enjoying watching them squirm, cower and beg for forgiveness.

for all those that say we cant not be found guilty because it would damage the premier league, we couldnt win the premier league because we were too small, pep would never come to us because we had no history, it was impossible to do the domestic treble, a 100 point season that will never happen, the treble will never be repeated etc etc, to quote jay z difficult takes a day , impossible takes a week, we specialise in the impossible

I agree. If evidence existed of fraud by the City execs then it wouldn't be left to the league to investigate and a poxy PL panel to judge, it would be the HRMC, the Serious Fraud Office, the National Crime Agency and then the Crown Court.

I also doubt the league would sit on this evidence without passing it to the authorities.

Exactly!

You still wouldn’t have been there ;)

Like the other 400,000 who said they were ha

When you look at Masters, how he conducts and presents himself, how he responds to questions, his demeanour and command of the room - the whole thing makes more sense.

He’s hopelessly out of his depth and this is brought into even sharper relief when you objectively assess the quality (relative and absolute) of senior management at City.

Masters is on a par with all the chairman, executives and people at the top for the old top six when we were taken over. They totally underestimated our owners and how good they were and just how successful we were going to be. Once the penny dropped panic set in and that's when they rushed through ffp in an effort to stop us. UEFA failed so they threw the ball into the premier leagues court. Hopefully they fail too. Now they've got that ball they're starting to realise just how hot it is and I believe want to drop it before they get really burnt. We'll see but if as our chairman says we have irrefutable evidence of our innocence then some bums must be twitching in their offices.

It could be absolutely anything from an actual date to (as you say) some charges already dismissed. However given this seems to have originated from The Telegraph it's at least as likely if not a given that there'll be nothing whatsoever.

Maybe…
