PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[Prestwich_Blue]

I get the ICs position there completely, not the PLs though!

The IC's position has some logic but it amused me that they rejected a tariff that would have imposed a 9 or 10-point penalty then did exactly that. But did you really expect any common sense or logic from the PL?

DCMS writes to Masters following his Select Committee appearance

Oh dear...

 

[homerdog]

Dame Caroline Dinenage MP, Chair of the CMS Committee, said (about Masters):

Equally puzzling was his insistence that the charges and punishment regime is entirely independent of the Premier League, when there is documentary evidence of an attempt to move the goalposts with a proposal for a structured policy for sanctions.

Surely these comments kill the case against us stone dead, the KCs on the "independent" panel won't want to have their professional judgement questioned by MPs if they find us guilty?

The crazy thing is under the first iteration of FFP, Leeds, Portsmouth, Rangers & Fiorentina would've passed. Go figure! \0/

It was always about stopping City & never about stopping reckless owners willing to gamble their clubs' very existence with a throw of the dice.

Any chance you could delve deeper into those stats or point me in the direction of where those details could be found

If what you say is true, then to be honest that in itself is worthy of a story because it shows the true nature of why ffp was changed

Cowboy, I'm just so incredulous at the level of negative things being spun about us on a daily basis with no accountability and very little pushback from "professionals" who plainly know better. Based on what I see every day there's no one who is going to convince me that it's not a large scale smear campaign against everything City (and it doesn't have to be a coordinated conspiracy like some on here say doesn't exist, but it's 100% a fucking bandwagon). There's an enormous difference between being charged and being smeared. What's happening to our club has far transcended that line and it's quite frankly distasteful, unprofessional, disrespectful, and juvenile among other things. Why can't someone with a legitimate podium bring these discrepancies, distortions of facts, and outright lies to light, publicly. I appreciate the compliment but I'm sure I'm just saying what a lot of us think, that this has gotten out of control and someone needs to say or do something meaningful to get it to subside. I get that success breeds envy and jealousy and that these charges have opened the door for others to give us an elevated level of banter but when people go online and start throwing around accusations of trafficking in under age players its way past the time to pushback HARD!!! Let no one be mistaken, these cocksuckers want to obliterate our beloved club. Not happening!!!

Another great post mate. It's most definitely feeding time at the zoo and we're the grub. It's vile! Everybody is piling on because they only believe what they want to believe, but I'll wager that a few of these bastards actually think there's a chance we maybe innocent but fuck writing anything of that nature. It's a full on bullying smear campaign to turn every football fan against us,and make every wannabe kid supporter think twice about choosing this nasty horrible club who have cheated at every level and also kill grannies and stand on frogs. I'm just hoping and praying that we win(which I think we will, though it may take a penalty shootout) then take certain cretinous and poisonous bastards to the work house. I'd also love to see City take on the bbc and bring the paedophile protecting bastards to their knees because of the shite they've continuously let their parasetic evil bastard(so called) journalists write. Just like Wolfy used to say..Come that glorious day brother!

It was widely reported 10 years ago to highlight the folly of FFP.

Simon Jordan, astonishingly has argued Pep's comments amount to him 'barking at the moon'(someone made that argument about their last video 'SJ issues 'strong warning to City fans'). I strongly suspect he's been reading this forum, anything he doesn't like that gets under his skin, he'll shamelessly try and debunk, even when he's bang to rights('I have no agenda').

They've done their usual trick of misrepresenting the facts of why UEFA's verdicts were overturned, putting it down to a time-barring technicality only. Simon did his usual spin on the non-cooperation charges too, "If you were innocent, why did you accept the fine".

Just on that quickly, here's what CAS concluded on that:


View attachment 105318
I'd always presumed this was an organisation similar to CAS and wondered why we never heard any progress or outcome from it. So, I just had a quick look, to see who they are and the closest match appears to be this: The Control, Ethics and Disciplinary Body:

So, it was left up to UEFA to investigate their own leaks and come to their own verdict. No wonder we never heard anything from it.

The guy is a buffoon who ponders and plays up to other buffoons

The part about taking the fine, Stefano I am sure mentioned this on the interview andczctually said to Jordan something along the lines of " as you know Simon, in these situations people take the fine even though innocent" to which Jordan nodded in agreement

So that suggests to me that maybe Jordan knows all to well the facts, and what plays out cos he has been there himself in that situation!

He is just a circus clown that shouts loud to people who don't or cannot be bothered to read the facts

Yep, that was her stated reason given some time later but no-one seems to have followed it up. Perhaps she refused to talk. Hard to find but Google Susanna Dinnage.

I’ve tried to find evidence of that statement but can’t. Every article I googled says she gave no reason. It would be quite telling if it were true and should be followed up.

Correct, Stefan did say that and Simon ended up saying fair point... But he's gone back to his original stance regardless. lol That's what we are dealing with here.

It’s now 116 charges, now being done with breaking an opposition manager
