PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

My WhatsApp group has lit up because of this Forest news, could any of you more intelligent people refute this?

The reason a lot of people think they are guilty is there were leaked documents which UEFA were given which showed there was false accounting (and I think City maybe even admitted to it?). But under UEFA's rules too much time had passed to charge them, whereas the Premier League doesn't have a time limit in its rules.

Close enough :)

The most important point, in my opinion, is that the emails in themselves don't prove anything. Ask any lawyer. What is important is what actually happened after the discussions in any emails. UEFA couldn't prove that what they thought was discussed in the emails actually happened. They couldn't even prove what they thought was discussed in the emails was what was actually discussed. So a combination of the accounting records which did show what actually happened abd personal statements from people who actually knew what happened, describing what did actually happen (and what UEFA thought happened) didn't along with some external financial evidence from sponsors and owner, all carried more weight than a few unsubstantiated allegations.

The same will happen to the PL allegations, imho.

And yes, the tine-barring is a red herring, the evidentiary situation is the same.

And that is the thing that the eejits don't get.

With my limited understanding...if I sent an email to you saying I was going to come round your house tomorrow and beat you up and tomorrow, you get beat up...does it mean I did it?

I better be nice to you :)

A better analogy is if you threaten in an email to beat me up and you get charged with beating me up even though there is no evidence that anyone beat me up. That case wouldn't last long.

That’s mate appreciate the reply.

in essence, right or wrong no longer is relevant. City deny the charges and the league is pissed they are not able to access the material they deem would incriminate city so fuck you here is 115 charges as a consequence because we know you did something but can’t prove it. The red teams are climbing up their bum with hysterical insanity. -:)

I think it may be a little less insidious than that, more procedural.

Imho, the PL is pissed because the club hasn't provided them with information that the PL knows will counter the allegations and that they know exists because it, or similar, was presented to CAS. So they were stuck with unanswered allegations they either had to drop, or refer. They chose refer, probably under pressure.

Either way, I reckon they know they are on a loser.

He’s already decided we’re guilty, he hates City our ownership model. “Frankenstein club” even if City are cleared he won’t accept it. He’s a posh speaking tosser!!

Why would the club choose this course of action?
