PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

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.

Wouldn't Adam Lewis who is an experienced KC have advised Masters & the Epl how difficult it would be proving their case based on the lack of evidence. Mancinis' contract & Fordham would be side issues that would never have gotten this far on there own merits.

Exactly.

People have become paranoid to the point where they're convinced it's a kangaroo court waiting to expel us from the league to protect the "cartel".

The PL are going to come out of this with egg on their face, but there is a valid reason as to why they investigated in the first place.

If you see some smoking guns in a clubs finances and they then refuse to help you investigate it, you're going to draw conclusions. If the evidence provided proves us innocent, then the panel will find us innocent.

If they had a smoking gun, why is it taken 4 years to investigate & why didn't uefa & CAS see that smoking gun

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.

The obsession with "empty seats" is what gets me, comming from a rag or dip is understandable but from Huddersfield and Luton ?. On this very subject, the way things are shaping up, next season when clubs across Europe are playing in the various UEFA comps on Tue/Wed/Thu nights there will 76,000 empty seats in the swamp every single night....

Didn’t know it was a Grimsby fan.
Makes it all the more compelling and factually accurate to come from the mouth of someone who has no relationship with City.

Not really surprising when Grimsby have the highest ever crowd at Blundell Park West…
