PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[Revolver]

“When will City be punished”? From the national broadcaster. Nothing like a fair hearing.

This suggests to me that no letters have been issued and it will be left to City fans to try and put these biased clowns right.

Oh for our owners to think of how this witch-hunt effects City fans and to actually do something publicly about it.

Any chance you could paste the complaint in here as I would also like to complain.

I've sent it to you via a PM.

What have they said that’s wrong so I don’t have to read it to find out

You should read it. My thoughts below.

The tone of the article is biased. BBC are suppose to be impartial.

It's basically a big fuck off to City and what we've achieved.

It said the fine from CAS was largely due to non co-operation. My understanding is that it was only for that. Nothing else.

It mentions City got off at CAS due to time barring.

There's more but by the time I've written this we could all read it.

I have contacted City's media department and asked them to challenge the BBC about it too.

Hello, I am making a complaint about a recent BBC article. See link below.

The reasons I am complaining is the article is factually incorrect and seems to have been written by someone that is biased and may not have read the CAS report.

The CAS fine was for non co-operation. Nothing else. Please update the report.

Man City were cleared of financial wrong doing at CAS. There were 2 sponsorship deals that specific years were time-barred, but CAS confirmed there was no evidence of disguised equity funding. Read the CAS report for details.

The BBC are supposed to be impartial

Should we take any comfort from the fact that our co-owners in the form of American investment company aren't seeking to offload their shares? Do private company shares have to go back to the majority holder? I'm suspecting the markets would report this once discovery of offers or bids were made. Surely any prospect of substansive findings against us would cause a catastrophic drop in the share price and loss of profit or investment capital?

They seem to love saying that CAS mentioned ‘time barring‘ as the reason we ‘got away with it’ but signally fail to mention how many times the CAS said ‘there is no evidence’

Mate, it's just the same nonsense as what was posted on FB last week

For me, the FB post may well have been nonsense. After all, it seemed - to me at least - to be a combination of all the positive little snippets from reputable posters (that haven’t been roundly dismissed) that we’ve read and heard on here and elsewhere. A kind of handy one-stop shop with a sprinkling of artistic license to give it added impetus. So yes, probably bollocks in that it’s not genuine ITK info gleaned by the FB poster but might not end up being too far from the truth.

People need to stop asking for this PM. It is literally the same information which did the rounds on here last week and was discussed to death.

But with the addition of Gail Platt’s embonpoint.

I've done the same for what it's worth....
