PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

There is a media organization that all of us are legally forced to subscribe to, it's called the BBC and the annual fee is currently £169.50. They are absolutely front and central on the constant attacks into City and have been from day one. The content used by Der Spiegel and the Sunday Times was all provided by a group called "European Investigative Collaborations", (https://eic.network/) the BBC are quite open about their leading role in that group. Last summer after the treble victory they ran a "115 Charges" story on BBC World presented by Ross Atkins. It was an absolute hatchet job that could have been scripted on Rag Cafe. Right at the very end after five minutes of besmirching the club, smearing the owners and sponsors it ended with the cursory "City deny any wrong doing". It's estimated that 320 million people watch BBC World. Although the BBC coverage of Co-Live morphed into a weird rant about Ms Tiffin on here, it was a perfect illustration how a good news story was turned into an attack on MCFC. There are far too many examples of Dan Roan and Simon Stone attacks to be mentioned here.

So I would say the BBC is the absolute litmus test of any change or moderation in the media treatment of the "115 Charges". I'll be watching them in the next few day...

[aside] has anyone noticed how they never mention anything negative about the owners of MCFC in the coverage of the Women's team. That must be caused by a "clash of BBC agendas"...

It's very easy to opt out, takes about 6 minutes.

Telephone no is on the rear of the licence.

Call them, tell em you're moving abroad.

They'll even refund any unused portion.

Bingo....its very liberating !!
 
Let's face it, the Pope, the US Supreme Court, the ECHR, British High Court and the Nuremberg war crimes Court could all find us innocent but until the BBC, Sun, Der Speilgal Mirror, Times and Guardian tell their knuckle dragging readership that we are paragons of virtue this panel will have zero effect on our reputation.
Don't get your hopes up guys.

I don't see why we'd care if he has received a cease and desist, or if he reads it out - they aren't confidential documents, it will basically say if you continue to repeat unproven allegations as fact we will take you to court. As we should.

I'd have sent them long ago, far and wide. You can talk about the "115" all you want, you cannot talk like you know that it is or will be proven.

Spot on.

it's damaged the image of our Club, Letting them have a free run without fear of punishment should have never happened, Like I said, This stops them from calling us again when the verdict is released and dare they say we paid them off and money has crossed palms

It boils down to the Prem under guidance/orders doing what the red clubs +1 wanted , they went into it half hearted with what they thought they had as evidence, and now it's reached the lawyer stage both sets of lawyers are laughing at the "evidence" presented . So now it's face saving time for the prem hoping that City will play along with a story/plan that leaves the prem with some integrity going forward, we need to ensure we demand huge changes in the makeup of the premier league and how it's run, if the prem feel that they can't do it then we need to raze it to the ground and ensure that a better, fairer way of playing football in this country is put in place .

A full and detailed apology plus an expose of all those clubs and individuals behind the allegations....Gill,Parry etc !!
 
Once we are found not guilty then the lawyers can start booking court time , we will only have to take out a couple of prominent organisations and a few non entity ones, to show we mean business, then the great unwashed will find something else to get steamed about .

Great Post there.
I've said the same thing about the ladies team, the 115 never gets mentioned when sky or BBC cover their games.

Maybe the jealousy is just exclusive to the men's team.
