PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[mac]

Not surprised. You don’t need to possess supreme intellect to see the charges are bullshit. The premier has no credibility left after this and the Everton shambles.

They will say that they had a duty to investigate due to the emails and the uefa case. All the while our good name has been besmirched and ridiculed from the baying red media.

Pep did say recently that he is looking forward to the verdict. I guess during this process the premier league case is starting to unravel. Wankers. The greatest team assembled deserves an unreserved apology.

What's been said.

Has something negative happened with regards this today?
The reason I ask is there seems to be a new influx of ‘City will get this punishment’ or a ‘a date has been set’ all over social media.
I ain’t giving their click bait shite the click they desire to find out.
Easy and safer to ask on here, that way I get the truth.

On Bluemoon it is only positive information from Tolmie.

On Bluemoon it is only positive information from Tolmie.

He’s always posted in good faith and that’s been enough for me.

There were rumours 3 or 4 weeks across most media outlets that City might get away with it.
People in the know are finding out info from their various sources and if they are right things are beginning to unravel for the accusers.
It very easy to throw accusations around the hard bit is having the evidence to prove them.
It appears that the chickens maybe coming home to roost .

The narrative is changing from relegation to got off…

For me the ideal outcome would be the PL requesting that the process is halted as they no longer wish to have their case heard. Forget the social media clowns and instead watch the PL squirm as there is no way that could be spun into us 'getting away with it'. If their case is so flimsy that they can't get it to a hearing then that is a total victory for the club.

I'd rather this happened too. You'd of course get allegations that we paid people off, but that would be the same even if we were to be exonerated after a lengthy hearing. The sooner we can move on, the better. The PL badly needs new leadership, but if we do come out of this unscathed then we should seek good relations with any new leadership at the PL

If the case falls apart before getting to the hearing then all football fans outside City will attribute it to some sort of corruption.

We deserve our day in court to clear our name.

To be fair, whether this goes the full distance or the IC conclude early due to the lack of evidence from the PL that City are cleared, the media will find angles to present us as cheats or that there was corruption. The CAS ruling was very clear that there was no evidence on the key financial charges, but the media still doubted the outcome and reported on it in this way. Let's get this thing boxed off so we can focus on the football.

Speculative scenario.
1. The PL’s brief asked them to clarify certain matters, but was not satisfied with their response.
2. The brief concluded that they have no chance of winning the main charges and advised them not to proceed. (PL leaked this to several”friends”, hence the rumours that @tolmie's hairdoo has heard.)
3. They decided to carry on with some of the lesser charges such as Mancini’s contract.
4. The tribunal will go ahead and they will find against us in minor matters plus “non co-operation”.
5. As the tribunal is secret, they preserve face by telling City they cannot say what happened but can comment on the outcome.
6. An avalanche of boiling piss engulfs football and the haters confirm that we got away with it by having expensive lawyers.
7. Khaldoon lets rip but, being a gentleman, is kinder to the haters than they deserve.

Do you mean that it looked like falling apart at the same time as the mooted new rules on associated party transactions? Whoever would have thought that may happen?

 

[tolmie's hairdoo]

Thanks for that, I appreciate you sharing and taking the time to respond.

No problem.

I've since taken it down. Have my reasons.
