PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[Inter Me Nan]

Well done @projectriver, not only did you explain it so a simpleton like me could understand, you also took those two clowns to the cleaners like a cat playing with it's prey!

I wonder if Stefan and Jordan had a chat off air

Shortly
1. Explained the gravity of the whole case and possible consequences if we are fund guilty. Relegation at least, but much, much worse to expect. Basically a nuclear Armageddon compared to Everton and NF cases that are pure
skirmishes between two insignificant countries (my allegory)
2. According to his own experience dealing with similar cases, he does not see how EPL can prove anything
3. Was very specific, in spite of Jordan's butting in, that not assisting or being helpful to EPL in the whole process is not some grave offence and charge - there are 35 of those I think - that many journos and pundits very often quote, but they are a normal legal strategy in complicated litigations.
4. He touched on Everton as well (if you are interested :) ) and they should not be happy what he said. Sorry Evertonians.

Everton the Third time FFP champions we will never sing it.

I don't thibk it can possibly be that, re differently length of limitations. Different interpretation of the same evidencs, sure (we saw that at CAS as well). But different limitations would then reinforce the basic (and false) throwaway that we got away with it with Uefa due to timebarring, when the club have claimed thatbeven the time barred evidence was in order and consistent with the rest, and CAS did not argue that.

Wasn't the lack of similar limitations affecting the PL, cited as one of the reasons UEFA's time barred evidence would finally be used to sink City?

HOWEVER, City had already submitted a defence response to UEFA's time barred accusations, but it was CAS who ruled it was all inadmissible because of time limitations.

This didn't stop they baying knuckle-draggers in the media & opposition fans from claiming we'd got away with the UEFA charges on a time-barred technicality. \0/

They WOULD fail it, but I thought the current rules were being significantly amended next year?

I said sometime back if City had cooked the books with inflated sponsership deals the likes of Etihad Airways,Nik Puma and other named sponsers would have to have been involved and complied to this ! Tha chances of that are laughable. And as the guy explained despite Jordon's attempts to continually interrupt him, a quango commission of the Premier League would be completely out of its depths in trying to proof it and would be impossible to do so !

Talksport have now twisted his words on the news bullitin. "Stefan has said it will only end in one way. Relegation down to league 2"
