PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

Simon Jordan is Katy Hopkins with a cock .

Brilliant. That is him, in a nutshell.

IF(and it won't be) anything was proven and if it came as far us being expelled or relegated or whatever, with these new financial rules across the board, it would end up catastrophic for the club. Job losses, key figures potentially prosecuted.

But if we were expelled and the club was essentially destroyed, as so many want it to be, it would go against what these rules were supposedly brought in for. They are supposed to protect clubs and stop them from going into oblivion. Or so they said...... We know the truth of why they were brought in.

This man should be thrown out of football based soley on that interview

He’s made his whole career by lobbying & changing rules to benefit the dippers. Surely that makes them the cheating corrupt cunts.

The Championship for a season would be a right laugh tbf, especially if we were CL holders.

Some great away days there I've missed Blackburn

It's all theoretical, as there are few, if any known precedents. But a good way to punish us with relegation would to be give a 100 points deduction. If the breaches were so severe that 100 points was deemed insufficient, they could apply a much larger points deduction.

Any number of scenarios might play out after that. The EFL might refuse to accept us. The EFL might accept us in their lowest tier. We might argue that the points deduction puts us at the bottom of the PL, therefore we should be relegated to the Championship. We might join Real and Barcelona and start a Superleague. Nobody knows, and it's all just speculation at this point.

100 million points?

But imagine us "winning" the league, but being relegated due to the points deduction. The winners that year would be the ones with the biggest asterisk of all time.

Just watched it. Your sang-froid in the face of Jordan's trolling was admirable. I'd have been tempted to stick his mike somewhere where it would be a bit muffled.

I wouldn’t stick the Mic up his arse. He talks through that PB.

always worth a bump

When did Parry come out with this bollocks?

Millwall too

Also, finishing bottom as champions, having scored the most goals, would be redolent of 1937/38.

I hope nothing the club does or will do is red-anything \0/

While the press debate whether a massive points deduction or expulsion from the PL is a fitting punishment for City's hideous crimes and Lord Chief Justice Jordan insists there is a case to answer a succession of mere football finance experts - Maguire, Ioannidis, Plumley and our own Stefan Borson, to name but four - have pointed out that proving these charges will be very difficult indeed since they are supposed to have taken place continuously over a period of ten years and involve companies with a global reputation for integrity and individuals well known on the world stage and respected in diplomatic circles. If we look at the commission which passed judgement on Everton, for violating PL spending limits we find that it was made up of a KC and the former finance director of a PL club. It was NOT a case of a senior judge presiding over a properly constituted court of law applying laws enacted by a sovereign body. The body which judges City's case will be similar to the Everton body and to find that City have done anything like what the PL claims is, as Stefan put it, "a big call". I think that the scale and gravity of the charges must be dawning on the PL and that any consideration of such charges is way beyond its competence.
