PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

Hopefully this whole business is moving to a conclusion which is very positive for our club, and quickly. The delays and uncertainty about when the "hearing" is may also suggest very strongly that the PL's case is either weak or even non-existent. We may indeed be hammering out a "settlement", or even the precise wording of a ruling. I don't think our legal representatives or our executives will insist on the case going to a hearing but they will have very clear views on what they require the outcome to be. In my opinion there must be a clear statement which makes misunderstanding and misinterpretation impossible, that "Manchester City are innocent of all the charges brought against them, that none of the evidence presented against the club amounted to anything remotely approaching a credible case while the evidence brought forward by the club was compelling and, indeed, irrefutable. Manchester City's accounts were a fair and complete record. The club has never falsified its accounts in any way." It has to be pointed out that CAS made a similar statement in its initial report on the outcome of the case there and yet the PL investigation continued, so I would insist on the statement including a warning that "The PL reminds its members that PL rules demand that all concerned deal with each other in good faith at all times and that any violations will be dealt with severely. Repetition of charges already investigated and dismissed constitute such violations". This may not stop the wild men of the media but the actions already taken (thanks yet again Tolmie!) may have already done that. I think City want an end to this nonsense once and for all far more than any revenge which might only arouse sympathy for insignificant (fat) microbes like ? and ? (details to be filled in with several of any number of names).

Such a statement would suggest the PL themselves hasn’t acted in good faith.
