PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[Inter Me Nan]

Can't bear to listen to any sports media right now. Just curious, does Simon Jordan think we are likely to get expelled or something to that effect?

Like that bellend would know!

 

[schfc6]

Alleged payments to Seluk are responsible for about a third of the charges so to be honest he's the perfect person to speak to and about as relevant as it gets.

So, does this mean a third of the allegations are now affectively bull and void. *IF* Seluk maintains this stance?

And the extensive urban redevelopment in East Manchester on the back of the Abu Dhabi/City? Is Winter suggesting that PL send in the bulldozers to flatten the hundreds of houses, sports facilities and community centres that have been built as a direct result of the Abu Dhabi funds. In addition thousands of Mancunians have had their lives uplifted, whether City fans or inhabitants of East Manchester.
Winter's abysmal standard of journalism belongs in Putin's Moscow.

The only difference between Henry Winter and Simon Jordan is Winter pulls his kecks down before taking a dump.

Let's hope City's listening to Jordan, closely !

That kunt been saying ever since cas! “Oh it was timed barred” meaning if it wasn’t we would be done for it! Thing is City wanted to go further to prove it was untrue but the it got thrown out so early because of it being timed barred! Jordan hangs around with people who only wha to hurt our club of course he is going to have bias view he is a sheep like the rest!

No, it doesn't. All the PL have to show is that our accounts weren't what we said they were (still a high burden) but the rest of the stuff - motive, mens rea, etc - isn't relevant (for them). It may be relevant in other proceedings

Naah. If the "true and fair" charge relates to the annual accounts (which I doubt) they would have to show just that, that the annual accounts don't show a true and fair view. That isn't the same as "not what we said they were" or mis-stating someone's salary. There is a materiality concept involved with true and fair. I doubt that they will be going down that route.

If your Jude with no prior affiliation to city , wouldn’t you think twice before making move due to this false narrative and noise everywhere ?

No!……I’d be asking for a suitcase full of £50 notes

The club not cooperating with investigation into the past 5 seasons is a bit concerning to be honest.

The only logical reason to cooperate with investigations into 2008-2017 (the period covered by the hack) and not cooperate over 2018-2023 is that the punishment and reputational damage for obstructing the investigation is better than what would be revealed if you did fully cooperate.

I thought they suspected that information provided to UEFA was being leaked to certain media outlets around that time and they were a bit miffed about it, or am I remembering that bit wrong?

 

[itsnevereasy]

Well in the near 40 years of my life it has never been dull being blue!

What this has really shown is that the media do truly hate us with a passion. Now if they had anything about them they would be asking what would be found if a 4 year investigation happened to every club’s finances because if we have done something wrong you can 100% guarantee we won’t be the only ones.

 

[dario2739]

No idea why anyone listens to that ****. This is a guy who had it all and spunked it away so hard, he is now reduced to being on Talksport with the rest of the down n outs, throwing out insults and outlandish claims to generate callers/revenue. His opinions mean as much to me as next doors cat.

He's a mobile phone salesman - and like all salesmen he's fluent in bullshit!

 

[KPXBLN]

And the actual point that was made?

the point seemed to be that FFP is fundamentally illegitimate and therefore effectively that there's nothing wrong with being accused of breaching it - which makes the reference to a hypothetical allegation of paedophilia extremely bizarre, like I said.

Analogy aside, if the OP's trying to make a more general claim that fans have an obligation not to discuss the possible implications of charges made against the club, then I'm afraid I disagree.
