PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[Dribble]

From the Crown Prosecution Service​

"A person who deliberately makes a false allegation of a crime in the knowledge that there is a risk that the police will conduct an investigation would have committed one of the relevant offences and is liable to be prosecuted subject to public interest considerations."

Specific Public Interest Factors & Wasting Police Time With Malicious Accusations

• a false complaint was motivated by malice;
• a false complaint was sustained over a period of time (particularly where there were opportunities to retract);
• the person originally accused has sustained significant damage to his or her reputation.
• public / police resources being diverted for the purposes of investigation for a sufficient period;
• where a substantial cost is incurred - for example, where expensive scientific examination has to be undertaken;
• considerable distress is caused to the accused by the reporting;
• where the false report alleges that a particularly grave offence has been committed;
• there is significant premeditation in the making of the report; or
• the complainant persists with the allegation, even when challenged.

Hence the PL have accused us of everything without ever using the word "fraud", but inferring it nonetheless.

This is UK Law as opposed to the trumped up, agregious private member club breaches being levelled at the club we love.

Personally, if it was me bring publicly accused like City are, I'd be turning the tables on my accuser & see how they like it when faced with having to prove their accusations beyond all reasonable doubt in a court of law, & facing prosecution themselves, followed by a defamation law suit.

There's our business, our reputation & hundreds of millions of pounds at stake. If we're truly innocent, we've nothing to fear & have everything to gain.

Game set & match.

Remember it’s independent KCs now not the PL. They aren’t going to come up with a judgment with no rationale.

I'm not sure if we have any idea who is on the panel. could be Simon Jordan for all we know

Ah yes you’re right.

So from what I’ve read. This “independent“ panel are just going to say we can’t pin anything on you. But we think you probably did it. The media have charged you already and we’ll look like right dick heads if we let you off now so we’re throwing the book at you

Sounds like VAR is reviewing the allegations

Have you ever read the bull shit in the MSM that goes just a tad deeper than "115 charges for cheating?" They are completely and utterly clueless, eg are we state owned or state funded by the UAE or state owned or state funded by Abu Dhabi or are we owned by HHSM, or are we owned by ADUG, or by the City Football Group.Or are we just state backed by the UAE or just state backed by Abu Dhabi, is there a difference ? So when Etihad Airways sponsorsed MCFC in 2011, did the funds utlimately flow from HHSM or from Abu Dhabi or from the UAE or from ADUG. Or did the funds flow from a bloke called Mr Jabber ? or was it from Etisalat? Does anyone know exactly how those funds ended up in the MCFC business account at Barclays. This issue is of grave importance to the PL, the FA, and UEFA. It's also in the national interest. It's really vital that we know how that money ended up in that Barclays account. The whole nation is absolutely desperate to know. Was it disguised owner equity funding by HHSM, or was it disguised state funding by the UAE or was it Abu Dhabi ? or was it Jabber. Never before in the history of Western Civ has so much shite been written about what amounts to a handful of bank transactions from a Middle Eastern airline to a football club in East Manchester.
