PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

so next week we will hear of the new PSR charges if any club failed in the latest period.

would love if rags hit with 10 points deduction while we are cleared in our case 1-2 months later. imagine the press and the whatsapp group.
"yes United got the punishment but City cheated only"

The rags are still the only club 'in' Manchester to have been found guilty and punished for ffp breaches.

That's for sure, but if the red **** spent 10 years trying to destroy us and now have the chance to relegate us to the National League, why would they let us off the hook?

They are still at a loss to understand how their selected Panel of KCs could possibly be legally fair and not 100 percent decide guilt in their favour.
They have won the media battle and the trial by none City fans so how can their own chosen legal beagles possibly renége?

well the assumption there is that we were paying him twice and that his consultancy role with abu dhabi was a sham, in which case the accounts we submitted would not be accurate and therefore would be false accounting.

If we was paying him twice ,and considering Mancini left under a cloud as he was unceremoniously sacked before an fa cup final !, don’t u think it’s weird nobody has asked Mancini himself if it was true or would he like to comment on he how he was treated by his now ex employers ?

Unless he was paid hush hush money ? Which it turn would make the paper trail even more complicated?

It’s all bullshit

Their case(premier league ) is based on the assumption that numerous high ranking people in numerous blue chip companies all conspired to commit FRAUD on a high level basis inorder for City to pass a certain ffp test set by the premier league to stop us progressing !

Why would anybody bother??

Let alone major players in major companies not to mention high level accounting firms.
 
If you ever want an illustration of how united have always operated beyond the rules, it must surely be the 1994 case of the £40k Ferguson received from Kanchelskis's Russian agent that, according to the story accepted without question by the media, stayed in the United safe until the agent turned up at Old Trafford to blackmail, sorry, I mean, talk to Ferguson, whereupon it's existence was suddenly "remembered" and disclosed to the football authorities who accepted this frankly incredible tale without a single query.

"Ferguson claims Essaoulenko asked to meet him in the early hours of August 23, 1994, at a Manchester hotel following a game against Nottingham Forest to give him a "gift" which Ferguson took home.

Ferguson said: "I began to open the parcel, assuming it contained a samovar or another typically Russian present, I was in for a shock.

"What the box contained was money, bundles of the stuff. I shouted for Cathy [my wife] and we stood staring at the piles of cash. After a while we counted it, £40,000 in all. We decided that I should take the box of cash to the club offices early in the morning.

"I carried it to the office of the club secretary, Ken Merrett, and emptied it in front of him. When he had recovered from seeing all those thousands scattered across his desk, and from hearing the story I had to tell, we phoned Maurice Watkins, United's solicitor, for advice.

"He instructed us to lodge the money in the club safe and document what we had done with the club solicitors and my solicitors.

"The £40,000 stayed in the Manchester United safe for nearly a year until Grigory turned up again at Old Trafford." Ferguson handed back the cash, though he says Essaoulenko was reluctant to take it"

We could do with a permanent page that lists all of the misdemeanours by other clubs along with external links or sources to the stories to verify them like Wiki.

The fact that no one had even approached Mancini before the charges & no evidence that they have since & it’s never repeated that Mancini denies the allegations.
