PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

So winning on the pitch is all that matters & nothing that is insinuated. Rival fans who use it as a coping mechanism & bitter journalist, who are only interested in making money, are not worth worrying about

I'm not worried about the breaches, just pissed off we can't just concentrate & enjoy the football of our golden age, without City constantly getting dragged back into this FFP bollocks.

Some fans aren't bothered about our breaches or the possible ramifications if we're found guilty.

However, those who are bothered about the breaches, or worried about the ramifications if we're found in breach of the PL's rules, don't get on other fan's cases because they seemingly don't care enough, or at all.

It's different strokes mate, & personally I don't think all the fanny wipes jibes help when some of us are genuinely worried.

Personally I think the breaches are bollocks & I trust in Khaldoon & Co to prove this at the appointed time. However I do appreciate that many fellow City fans are seriously concerned, so there's nowt wrong with offering empathy & a soothing word or two, which I find a shitload more productive than labelling fellow blues fanny wipes.

Just my personal take mate.

My main concern is that there is no CAS this time. As I understand it we have no means to appeal?

I think we have the chance of taking it to the High Court if we can show that the hearing was procedurally flawed. Other than that I think there is also a possibility of convening a new IC panel. But yeah, there is no CAS as such - I think this is effectively CAS for us in this case.*

I imagine all of the criticism about how long the process is taking, from fans, pundits and journalists alike, must be stinging the PL. As mentioned previously, it’s causing considerable reputational damage to them now. Are they really going to try and ride it out for the next 18 months?

I guess the only way they could plausibly expedite the process would be to drop some of the harder to prove charges or try and strike a deal, but that seems highly improbable. Not even sure if that’s possible now that it’s been referred to an independent commission?! What a mess they’ve got themselves into.

The problem with that for the PL, is if they drop the hard to prove fraud how do they carry on with the lesser charges. Isn't the non cooperation linked mainly to us not passing on info for the disguised sponsorship charges & Mancini contract will be just as difficult to prove at a time we were losing 100s of millions each season

No, you're spot on as per my understanding. This is why I hope IREF comes to fruition sooner rather than later to end this farce. )(

I don't have a problem with City fans being genuinely worried because it has the potential to destroy the club. Although it's not cut n' dried I was more worried about the uefa ban than this time around.

Saying that if it was costing the club reputational damage, its not showing as we've just won 5 trophies in a year & released record revenue. Would Silverlake have invested what they did without due diligence

This is the point. Not only are they claiming City have lied to the Premier League, they're also claiming that they've implicated several high profile companies as well as presumably lying to investors in both America and China. That goes well beyond cheating in a game, and amounts to actual fraud, I would assume.

Thanks pal. Not sure what the other guy is on tbh. Odd.

I've been reading a guy on Twitter, Russell Scott and that's what's piqued my interest. The way he puts it, it's cut and dried and involves high level conspiracy and cover ups. Sounds crazy tbh. If it was all true, surely City would already have been brought to book and punished accordingly? A lot of Liverpool fans I know are already counting titles they're going to be given "when justice is served". They almost sound desperate.

Ask the Scouse cunts about the £50m they wrote off for new stadium costs, hacking databases & continually giving Parry assignments to fix the rules for his paymasters.

The real criminal behaviours has been lobbying rule makers to make it a closed shop for Rags, Dippers & Arsenal.

The lad Russell will be delusional & unlikely to have even read the CAS judgement where UEFA were told in 10 separate occasions there is no evidence & no we didn’t choose the judges & if they say ‘technicality’ tell him he’s too thick to talk to.

Again, I couldn't tell you, but who's to know if Silverlake haven't got some type of clause inserted in our agreement?

The main point I'm making is I fully understand why some fans are genuinely shitting themselves, especially after what happened to Everton.

I just choose not to dismiss their concerns & call them fanny wipes & just wish others could be more understanding.
