PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

The MUEN have seen the furore over the BBC article and have asked someone to hold their beer....

Man City's 115 charges explained as Premier League hearing date set

Manchester City's case will be heard amid the allegations from the Premier League they have breached 115 Financial Fair Play (FFP) regulations

No details of City being cleared by CAS. No balance and no context. Pitiful coverage from the local paper just lifted from the BBC.

Yeah, the people who think there is a secret underground cartel of all the other big clubs and the PL collaborating together to plot our downfall are the rational ones.

There's nothing secret about it, it's right there in the open for all to see. You probably need better glasses.

It’s a meta…….. oh forget it

A metafore or metahundredandfifteen?

Will anyone hazard a guess as to why the hearing start date is being kept a gaurded secret. I cannot imagine why it is so important or indeed what purpose it serves.

Because the PL is looking for a deal ahead of any hearing. As Masters said he expects to to be “resolved soon.” That’s what it looks like.

Are you absolutely sure that couldn't be the case?

How could this "strategic plan" ever be successful while Pep and City are on the scene?

I have thought about ranting to Points of View which is on for 10 mins a weekend morning but the amount of times they cover a topic then say we asked the BBC for a comment but nobody was available is fucking laughable.

See when people put up gifs and images of bubbling pots on the hob, they do know that piss boiling is meant to happen inside the body right, from all the anger? Doesn't really work if you piss in a pot and stick it on high heat.

Depends whos pot youre pissing in

I mean that one is simple to answer - Adam Lewis will have advised them that in his opinion there was enough to proceed with. On Mancini & Fordham that’s understandable, even if they’re ultimately nothing burgers.

The most important question is why they decided to proceed on the most serious sponsorship allegations that - barring some gamechanging documents that even if they existed, City wouldn’t have provided to them - there is almost certainly no path to success for the PL.

A cynic might suggest that with the delay between the charge sheet being drawn up and released, they were still hunting for something more cogent on the sponsorship stuff, as Mancini & Fordham aren’t gamechangers, but ultimately panicked into pulling the trigger early once the whitepaper on regulators came out..

Certainly if the PL can’t land the serious charges this case will be discussed by Business MBA’s for a longtime to come as a what not to do.

We know that they started to get witness evidence AFTER they issued the charge sheet.

worth an oggle...

That’s an outstanding piece.
Done by a Grimsby fan too.
That’s how you look at things objectively.
The useless cunts in the media should take note.
