PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

It will become apparent in the days and weeks ahead whether these letters have been sent out, and to what extent, if and when the current (perceived or otherwise) change in mood music continues.

If things continue along the same lines (as I strongly suspect they will) then we’ll know the answer, surely.

Bit of an headache mate?

No need to make such a trauma of it.

It does feel like some kind of concussion to this nonsense is starting to happen

Knockout.

It wasn’t aimed at you, Coatign. It was a general comment. I don’t think anyone in their right minds would expect anyone receiving the letter, if they have received the letter, to go public about it.

Only Evans has really alluded to something via his City hating spleen, and Goldbridge via his uncomfortable silence, squirm in his seat, and saying he doesn’t want to comment about 115 anymore.

More than uncomfortable silence by Goldbridge jrb, i have seen the clip on youtube, Goldbridge quite clearly states that he has been legally threatened.

We are going to get penalised for non co-operation , its the only thing the Premier league have to save face , we have been accused of fraud on a grand scale involving multi-national companies , these companies will not open their accounts for the Premier to peruse , it will never happen.
So the fact the Premier league cannot retrieve the information they need the non co-operation is the only stick to beat us with , Masters and his cohorts have no juristricition outside the football world they are not the law and they will look like fools at the conclusion of this witch hunt.
We will get a hefty fine similar to the CAS verdict which will give the ammuntion for pundits to state we must have done something wrong , which was basically the same premise the media used with the UEFA charges
We keep out titles , cups , records , manager , players , was looking forward to a trip to Haig Avenue and an enthralling game against the mighty Sandgrounders (Southport F.C.) but alas it looks like the Beranbeu and Allianz Arena awaits.

Because you're claiming nobody has received any when someone affirms that they've been given out.
There's a soundbite, from Goldbridge himself, stating he "doesn't want to talk about 115 anymore, not just because City have threatened legal action". This is central to the discussion currently about City being in a position of strength and what it could possibly mean.

If you don't want to believe it, fine, but you can't expect to start demanding proof from others who find these recent speculative developments to hold weight, when you have none to provide yourself in counter, can you.

Look at the Daily Mail's reaction; rumours abound on the internet that City's charges have been dropped, and they come out with "no they haven't!" without providing any proof to deny other than "MIke Keegan says not".

Again, a total failure on your part, in even the basic ability to just read. I'm sorry, but this is not a worthehile conversation for me.

This makes it even more interesting, if it pans out that the the bulk of the breaches quoted are time barred then two questions need to be asked.
1. The investigation took 4 years to compile 115 breaches, so why were the charges not brought forward earlier?
2. If the PL genuinely believe they have a solid case that they believe in then would they be prepared to go down the route of quoting fraud?

I really hope that if the bulk of the charges are time barred that we as a club make a crystal clear statement that what we were being accused of was fraud, and it is the PL who wouldn't go down this route of investigation and not MCFC.

The Pl would have to be monumentally inept to bring charges that are clearly time barred. Are their lawyers really so incompetent?

Are you Hylda Baker in disguise?

That's what most people who are wrong tend to say.

It's sunny outside, bru, don't be so bothered about people's opinions on this thread.

 

[The Future’s Blue!]

Regardless of the letters, could it be that certain outlets have heard that City have argued the case to a sufficient degree that the case has no merit?
