PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[I'm Blue]

I’ll hazard a guess and say the Sky emails are because they more than likely received a very strong email or phone call from us over Tim Sherwood being a ****.

 

[lancs blue]

That sound like we have won some and we have lost some if that’s the ciase we are going to be guilty in everyone’s eyes. We need to be 100% cleared

No it doesn't because Sky don't know the outcome any more than we do, they're just covering their backs in case of litigation if their pundits shoot their mouths off after the verdict.

 

[Mr. Shush]

I think its an absolute certainty that the PL will say "City were not cooperative in our investigation, nevertheless, we cannot find wrongdoing". Or something to that effect. They will bad mouth us to the press that we were less than cooperative. Which would give ammunition to all the pundits, the Red Cartel and that **** Javier Tebas that the investigation was somehow "hindered". Nevertheless, we emerge with the victory. That's what I think is going to happen.

But honestly - why would we cooperate with these fools? They're in the bag for United, Arsenal and Liverpool. Why would we cooperate unless we were forced to do so in court?

I am more now, because after this tonight, it seems like one of the 3 possible outcomes (full non-guilty outcome for City) is now off the table. Maybe it never was on it, but I interpreted some of the positive mood music recently as meaning that might still be a possibility.

Why is it off the table? Nobody knows anything yet. Sky - like any company would - are just instructing their staff on how to behave, in readiness for what everyone knows is an imminent result ( because history demonstrates that the presenters clearly do not have the intelligence to conduct themselves in an unbiased professional manner)

As if Carragher reads emails

Will magic twat read the emails for him

 

[mancboy]

almost 20k people he/she is a idiot but a lots if people listens so this matters

Bout 18k of them will be bots and in the social media world 20k is fuck all, city xtra have almost 100k and nobody gives a damn what they say

 

[mancboy]

As if Carragher reads

Fixed it

 

[CoventryBlue]

He's never been able to accept that the emails alone were not enough to prove the actions took place

 

[bobbyowenquiff]

Pretty sure this is just a genuine cautionary email that Sky has taken upon themselves to send out to their staff to avoid being sued lol. Dont think it says anything other than that really.

SKY made fools of themselves last time saying the PL had won. Totally absurd PR spin.

i've always thought the no cooperation will be something city will be found guilty of

I’m gonna back out of the thread for the evening.

 

[Gaylord du Bois]

Everybody please calm down! No news yet, just rumours!

That’s fair comment mate, but thing is, I haven’t always thought that, hence my reaction tonight. I mean I knew it was a possibility, but based on our Chairman wanting and expecting a full exoneration, I thought is also a possibility we’d be fully cleared. I believed him.
Anyway, it’s not doing me any good staying on this thread tonight.

Why are some posters now shitting the bed?

 

[mancboy]

Why are some posters now shitting the bed?

Are you new? Lol

 

[CoventryBlue]

What would be great is a comment by the panel along the lines of "whilst we find City didn't cooperate, it was justified given the leaking and bad faith shown by PL members"

Nominal fine of a quid

 

[Stoned Rose]

Interesting. Keane is probably the least of their worries. It’s Spitty Carragher who will jump in studs up if we are cleared. He can’t help himself.

“Both sides will probably try to claim some kind of victory”.

Suggests to me that they’ve “done” us for at least some of the alleged breaches, probably minor ones. That or the non-cooperation nonsense.

Also the beginning of the drip feed confirms the day isn’t far off now.

 

[bobbyowenquiff]

Sky "sticking to the facts" would be a welcome change from providing a platform for rent-a-gobshites to promote and encourage a racially-motivated smear campaign against our Club.

In the APT case Sky and the BBC reported the PR spin from the PL as fact and totally ignored the Judges’ damning statement which stated the PL acted unlawfully and unfairly. They reported the case without mentioning the actual verdict.

 

[slbsn]

FWIW I don’t believe City sent any letters of the type 1894 refer to, I don’t believe Sky have any idea as to the outcome, I don’t believe there is any particular reason for the briefing note aside from it being a huge story when it finally comes out.

 

[Rammy Blue]

It’ll all be happening soon enough, emails like this don’t get sent out unless they’ve been given the nod it’s imminent, imo. We all know what it’s like receiving many emails, just like proverbial chip paper they slip down your inbox/become a relatively distant memory the following day etc.
