PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[KS55]

The only possible explanation for the coordinated 115 PR assault was to cosy up with members considered a better class of members. If it’s not just Masters there needs to be an investigation into how the whole shit show was coordinated, who was lobbying & who was being rewarded.

Lots of questions for an investigative reporter.

City have a raft of emails between the PL and the redshirts. Surely they could provide them to Martin Samuel when the case is finally settled.

I don’t like him either but it’s positive city have briefed him the charges aren’t a problem.

Tbf on occasions he’s given a fair summary on the case, that City are confident & the charges are repetitive.

 

[Gorton_Tubster]

It still comes down to subjective opinion of material set before the panel. The balance of probability is not the same as fact.

So if in their opinion we have defrauded the PL, HMRC, etc we have no recourse? Surprising tbh

 

[TinFoilHat]

seriously can we pause the thread until we hear the results of the case?

Can we tell Sky Sports News to do the same as well. An whole hour of Miggy and his fellow cunts edging at the thought of us being punished.

It’s a must!

Not sure you understand the purpose of an Internet forum.

Source, mate?

Source, mate?

It was part of the APT case mate

I know mate but there’s no source to suggest there’s anything snide in the emails?

Ah, sorry, misunderstood. Agreed, although I doubt it would surprise anyone if there was

 

[Blue and true]

Likely a wank journalist with an even wanker vocabulary.

He's one of the most reliable journalists out there.

That statement can be both true & worrisome.

Utd, Arsenal, Liverpool....course they are snide ;)

“Retailate”? Interesting choice of word from City. Imo it either means

1. We’re going to appeal (although whether that would be described as “retaliating” I’m not sure).

2. We’ve battered them and are now going to buy all the players this nonsense has prevented us from buying and are going on another trophy winning rampage as “retaliation”.

What’s everyone’s thoughts?

I think number 2 is looking good.
And will look good when we carry it out.

We could start "retaliating" by banning some of the press cunts from the etihad instead of serving them tea and cakes.

Because in the end it's going to come down to the opinion of 3 folks on a panel based on what is set forth before them.
Even if we appeal, as with any court, the right decision is strived for but never guaranteed.
You can be innocent and appear to be guilty or vice versa.
There are not many avenues for appeal. Just one within the PL procedures.

City was offered a deal by UEFA and said no, even though City knew it was going to be found in breach of financial regulations by UEFA and put its faith in an independent panel where the evidence would be considered fittingly
This case is pretty much the same

 

[dickie davies]

I dont have 100% trust in this panel. especially headed or selected by an Arsenal fan.

Our KC is an Arsenal fan

Gary Cook wouldve tipped the apple cart over and set fire to the rain rather than accept the organised and premeditated shit thats come the clubs way.

He'd have put Mario in charge of media & PR ,with Nigel de Jong head of security.

Cookie wouldve been great fun and the ticket prices would've been sorted yonks ago. !!

Is that the same gary cook that appointed Wayne rooney as Birmingham manager?

And sent all season ticket holders on L2 a letter that assured them that L2 wasn’t going to become a corporate offering
