PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[Scoobz3]

I think as a few people have suggested - including @tolmie's hairdoo - the club will play hardball and insist this goes to a full hearing and the IC will have to write a full and unambiguous judgement stating that they have not found us guilty of any of the charges based upon the evidence provided by the PL. Moreover, given the history of the case and the high court judgement- I really don’t see a case of no cooperation being proven either. I guess the final element will be the red shirts will dispense with Masters and seek to blame everything on him - I just hope he has the guts to come out fighting and name a few people but I very much doubt he will since he will almost certainly receive a huge payoff with a cast iron confidentiality clause.

What high court judgement ?

I think we all would, but the non-cooperation ones are likely to remain even if the rest fall apart.

I’m basing this on very little, but I disagree.

If the substantive charges are so weak they are dropped and don’t even make it to tribunal (a huge ‘if’ at this point) then it renders the whole case redundant and I can’t imagine any of the lesser charges proceed.

FWIW I think all of the charges will go to tribunal but will be found in City’s favour.

scousers and brainwashing go hand in hand

Just a pity scousers and washing don't go hand in hand.

If the charges are dropped there's no way City will accept non co-operation, that would still suggest we were holding something back.

What high court judgement ?

The one where the Daily Mail took City and the pl to court demanding that the process couldn’t be kept confidential. The judge ordered that it was in the public interest that the case wasn’t confidential but also told the PL to get on with it.

Manchester United's squad last year were the "most expensive ever assembled" in football, says a Uefa report.

The European Club Finance and Investment Landscape report says United's players at the end of their 2023 financial year cost 1.42bn euros (£1.21bn) in combined transfer fees.

The 2020 Real Madrid squad were previously the most costly at £1.13bn.

But yet it's debtless City who're apparently the FFP/PSR cheats ruining football. ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠⊙⁠_⁠ʖ⁠⊙⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

Comments section turned off - if this had of been City it would have been turned on and fully encouraged !

You may well be right. We just don’t have the info to know anything for sure.
