PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[Paladin]

To be fair there's two sets of cunts playing today and one of them has to win. Best case scenario is it stops the media banging on about quadruples.

And facilitates a much easier path to our own potential treble.

What was Khaldoon saying about naming names once the charges have been cleared up? I can't see him implicating United as being one of the chief plotters against us, whilst at the same time cosying up with them with ground sharing arrangements.

I think it’s them trying to cosy up to us not the other way round

Whichever. I can't see it happening.

This thread is the equivalent of driving round the same roundabout for 13 months straight.

Ceferin has come out and said they were right blah blah blah not so long ago. So it’s no wonder the league has got caught up in it all and presume they can go back and look at areas uefa deemed we “got away with”.

With Gill, parry, masters and any other red wanker pulling the levy.

The all seem to think we did something but couldn’t hang us. What that something is and how they go about proving it is imo their whole case.

CAS no evidence against an email and innuendos. It’s mental any of this went anywhere apart from the bin.

Of course they think we did something. They created rules that they thought were so water tight it will be impossible for us to fairly navigate & challenge them.

Apparently that’s fair & not cheating…..

However having become the best team in the world then we just need to tell them how we did it & if we say “did what” then it’s perfectly ok to throw the book at us.

If it was any other club in the world it would've gone in the bin

I'm absolutely certain of that

Yeah, you're probably right. I don't have an issue with UEFA and the PL asking questions when Der Spiegel published the e-mails but it should never have resulted in a full-on investigation.

I do wonder at what point the doctored email was added. They had to manufacture the smoking gun and did DS a. not see it. b. Ordered it or c. was it Uefa?
If CAS spotted this, why was the source of the doctored email revealed? (rhetorical question)

I presume it's in the investigation into the leaks ;-)

As bent as UEFA are, I'd be astonished if they had anything to do with it. My money is on Der Spiegel in an attempt to make more of a story out of it.

Just had a crazy thought on this. Is it possible that they were trying to get us to take them to court so that we'd have to produce the full e-mail trail to prove it was a forged document in the hope of providing more evidence against us?

Not really something I'd ever considered but I suppose it is a possibility. My own opinion is that Der Spiegel were simply embellishing something to make it look like a far bigger story/scandal than it actually was.
