PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[Churchlawtonblue]

Forest won the EC when it was more difficult to win (one bad game and your out) with an elite manager, Everton have a great history.For Masters to call them "small " clubs is unforgivable and clearly illustrates his lack of professionalism

I agree , its fan speak. For a person in his position that's a massive mistake and is clearly reflective of his and the PL biased thought processes as well as showing his lack of understanding of recent football history.

Not heard a more annoying duo as Simon Boredom & Jim Shite since Jedward they think they are heavyweights of talk radio when in fact they are just a tired parody of the Chuckle Brothers

More the Krankies than the Krays

Thank you Stefan for the insightful information in the face of SJIAC.
Jordan is merely a microcosm of every Rag and Dipper up and down the country.
Social Media is full of them bleating 115 charges. When you ask them to provide evidence their answer is “Inflated sponsorship and paying the Manager under the counter”
That is the level of naivety we all have to endure day to day.
Thank you again SB for showing him up.

He shouts people down with an assertive voice that protects the illusion that he's the smartest guy in the room.
A media savvy guy like Eddie Hearn played a losing hand and still wiped the floor with him. Stefan is polite and therefore only managed a draw.

A draw?? He wiped the floor with him. Made him look like a ten year old whining “It’s not fair.”

What I don't understand is this, and maybe @projectdriver can help me out if I'm being thick.

Why are we all not going with the theory (instead of all this banging our collective heads on walls).. ...that if what we are charged with is true then the PL couldn't have charged us under football rules they would have had to report us to HMRC and the serious fraud squad?

This would surely have been a better way of explaining what's going on to all the haters and the uneducated press.

 

[Centurions]

It was a comment to demonstrate his objectivity- if we were guilty of these fraud accusations then we would likely be relegated but he stressed to a huge extent, how serious the accusations are & how many organisations it radiates out to - and he stated that the club have repeatedly said we are not guilty - & as such the IC would find it impossible to prove without huge legal repercussions from all parties.
But that’s not selected for the news sound bites of course.

Sorry, I wasn't meaning Stefan bud.

Even if we get an independent regulator what are the odds whoever it is. Is a rag dipper or tarquin!?

what betting their bloody useless did you hear some of the questions other day

No matter the outcome, we're still going to beat with the stick by moronic social media attention seekers and knuckle dragging armchair followers of the red shirt has-been's.

Once we're cleared of any serious wrong doing it'll be 'bungs' this and 'brown envelopes' that. The perception of us being cheats, in the minds of the bitter and thick won't change and we'll all still be recipients of barbed comments both online and in person.

Personally, I don't give too much of a toss what comes out of the mouth of some no-mark who has no idea what it's like to actually support a team and I imagine the same can be said for most blues.

What does really interest me though is the next move for the red shirt has-been's once we're cleared of any serious wrong doing.

Where do they go from there once they realise that we probably can't be touched for at least another decade with regard challenging for the major trophies? Another decade like the one we've just had will probably put us in a league of our own financially (domestically at least).

European Super League?

We saw the outrage amongst the supporters the last time that was put forward. It'd possibly kill the match going support and would owners/executives of those clubs really go down that route again?

 

[MCFC1993]

So what is the outcome for the PL, if and when we are found not guilty?

Oh, we couldn't prove it, they are probably guilty, oops, carry on as normal chaps

In a way its good for the PL because its out of their hands, the verdict that is.

I assume it will be carry on as normal, don't think City would seek any compensation. I think we'd want a bold statement put out though that we aren't guilty.

Getting a bit ahead of ourselves there though.

The KC I bumped into once had his Sunshine Band with him..

Mine had an entire railroad.
