PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[Chappie]

The one thing that won't happen is for us to be exonerated, the PL will word any statement to the effect of "right to bring the charges but unable to provide definitive proof". Gives everyone enough wriggle room to think we have "got off" rather than been cleared.

They won't get away with that this time.
They shouldn't have been allowed to get away with it the first time at uefa.
City's biggest mistake.

I don't remember it even being discussed tbh, but you may be right. I will check later.

I think I heard PB discuss it on Ian Cheesman's pod cast. I could be wrong.

The UEFA Investigatory Chamber was corrupt. See City’s interlocutory appeal at CAS. CAS were scathing in their ratio, but could not rule in our favour as their jurisdiction was over completed cases only. Hardly a mistake from us that they refused to follow due process.

I fear that the 100 percent PL chosen Panel may contain similar minded KCs.

Is this possible?

That is my worry too - but I guess we have put confidence in the words regarding panel members set out in the FAQ post

Who is the plus 1?

Spuds

We should also demand Howard Webb comes on a free transfer from the Rags. And put up that welcome to Manchester Bill Board again pointing towards Trafford with him in it

A time to remember this magnificently prophetic piece from 2013

MARTIN SAMUEL: Fair play? To the Premier League's gang of four, that means a ban on dreamers like Jack Walker

The plot which Arsenal and Manchester United have hatched is sucking in many of the other Premier League clubs eager for a slice of the pie.

The scan of that letter from the red shirts and spuds to the PL in the article needs screenshotting and spread all over social media just to show the thickos who believe the crap that comes out of Simon Jordan's gob and the other inarticulate know nowts in the MSM. People need to know that there really is a cartel and its been alive and kicking since we pissed on their chips and had the temerity to win the league on 2012. the charges levelled at City is fuck all to do with FFP and 100% there to serve the cartel's self protection agenda.

But we know from the CAS hearing that the bulk of the Etihad sponsorship was provided from central Abu Dhabi funds. And there's nothing wrong with that, as long as it didn't come from Sheikh Mansour.

The total, uninformed shit that the media print is absolutely infuriating.

Indeed! In the run up to the CAS hearing we read quite a few stories about "smoking guns" that City had kindly provided UEFA with but we never actually saw one. This time around it seems that we are going to be undone by "bombshells" but the impression given is that even the purveyors of these alarmist stories are fairly sure the can't/don't exist. Etihad's books are coming to the PL's rescue and will show dishonesty of this damned club - even though they showed CAS nothing of the sort - even though the same hack in the same piece says they are more likely to show City's and Etihad's complete innocence. If the pen really is mightier than the sword we need to know which pen it is! Or is it the one with the forked nib!
