Masters won’t survive this.The PL has been "played" perfectly by the club if you ask me.
The PL's first mistake was not to have taken the CAS findings into account in its investigation. That would have removed the questions around sponsorships, and therefore the true and fair view given by the accounts (Etihad is really the only issue that could have materially affected the accounts). By continuing the investigation into those areas, it gave the option to the club, that imo it rightly took, not to provide external evidence against the allegations and force the PL to shit (out some allegations they couldn't prove) or get off the can (close the investigation for lack of evidence).
The second mistake was not getting off the can, but shitting out 115 allegations without any chance, imo, of proving them to the panel. I wouldn't be at all surprised if the club is cleared of all the allegations, including non-cooperation, unless Khaldoon thinks a "pinch" may be politically worthwhile to position the club better with Masters within the PL, as the CAS debacle did with Ceferin at UEFA.
Exactly why the PL made those two "mistakes" is pretty clear, I think, but the PL should have handled this much better and more professionally, imho. I doubt we will ever see any confirmation, though.
Or I could be wrong, I suppose, and the PL has the club over a barrel :)
If the club don't then we should all ride the 115 bus route Middleton-Blackley for a few hours.If we are cleared I'd hope we have a bus parade. It'd be hilarious.
I think 'making things up' doesn't qualify as opinion unless you clearly declare it as fabrication and that's what most of these wannabe journalists don't understand, seemingly some real journalists too.Opinion is fact unfortunately to most in today's world. Only our legal folks save us from reversing a hundred years.
I've long been of the opinion that the beginning of our demise as a society was when the back pages were allowed to peddle lies day in day out.
Tony Evans has clearly had his card marked by the club and he isn't happy...

Isnt there a NDA about any hearing?I hope City wring every penny out of PL along with anyone else whom we have a case against.
Additionally, I hope we use every medium to present the facts behind the charges including naming and shaming the perpetrators whom ever they are.
IMO we should campaign our innocence throughout the summer and autumn and respond vigorously to any underhand ‘shit’ that’s tried by anyone.
Our reputation and integrity has been publicly and globally traduced in a ‘clear & organised’ campaign to destroy the club.
If & when cleared I truly hope that we right all the wrongs, put the spotlight on the cartel clubs and their media lackeys and completely transform our reputation,integrity & global image.
Fuck them rigid and hold their feet to the fires of hell !!

I'm guessing - could be completely wrong of course.Ok. Fair enough. Only going off what I’ve seen.
