PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

Yes, but all the naysayers ignore the CAS verdict or point to noncooperation, and repeat the UEFA party line that they know we are guilty. Reputation damage will continue unabated forever IMO. I really am tired of all these kangaroo courts. At this point I would join the super league (of which I am against) just to be able to move on, and not hear aBout charges every 5 seconds.
They do that anyway.
 
His response should have been 'I can't comment while the Premier League case is being heard'.

It took very little manipulation by the press to misrepresent his words as they did, so that the average football fan heard 'City were guilty, UEFA were right to prosecute, and CAS got it wrong'.

It wasn't difficult to predict how it would play out in the court of public opinion. Even the President of UEFA could have worked it out.
By rights it should make his position untenable. The head honcho commenting in a way to prejudice an ongoing investigation is on the same don’t fucking do it list as kissing a player in celebration.
 
Strange how they go after us for financial reasons yet we consistently prove we are better run and less wasteful than all the red shirted detritus that we compete with. They need to have a good look at their own finances, useless fuckers.


Manchester City - losses of 59m euros (£51m) and Bayern Munich - losses of 61m euros (£52m) - "have the best balances among the most competitive teams" the report said.

& even then they make us share the ‘best balance’ with Bayern when we are lower.
 
I do wonder how he was with Stefan after they were off air... How much is a persona for the mic etc. would be interesting to get his perspective if he feels able to share.

Yes I wondered that & since he’s changed to ‘we are guilty but we’ll get off’ so I think they spoke a bit.
 
Agree with most of that but my gut feeling is the PL has virtually no evidence. If they had a smoking gun they would have sanctioned us by now. If they had anything significant it would have leaked out to their pals in the media. I believe the so-called investigation is just another attempt to smear City. When you see how weak Richard Masters is in public it is easy to see how he could be manipulated by devious powerful people. The end game for the PL was always about damaging City to keep LFC, MUFC, Spurs, and Arsenal Directors happy.

I think that is the most likely outcome too, it will be a re-run of UEFA’s but more proof needed.

They won’t be able to prove fraud, then everything will become time barred and we will have got away with it (it seems slightly predictable if we have both read it right).

The 115 charges has worked well for them rather then just charging us for FFP, has really played out in the public as they would have wanted.

My advice to blues is to wear it once this is all over, 115, got of on a technicality, time barred etc. I know we want everyone to know we are innocent but nothing we will say will ever change some opposing fans mind who listens to Simon Jordan all day.

So go the opposite, United did it back in the day when everyone was accusing them of having FA/ refs in their pocket.

They sung we do what we want…Was a frustrating chant when they where successful.

That should be City fans response, really wind up the opposition once we are cleared on this technicality as they will no doubt claim.

Were Man City, we’ll spend what we want

City, City, the best lawyers in the land and all the world

Long away trip…

There was 115 charges by the Premier League, 115 charges by the Premier League and if Lord Pannick was to get 1 time barred, there would be 114 charges by the Premier League.

This last one is a joke, as I don’t think anyone would want to sing all those verses
