PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[halfcenturyup]

It's only been brought up in the context of the PL not charging Liverpool because the incident was long ago, yet they charged us for things that happened before the hacking. Questioning the consistency of the PL, and whether City might cite this as a precedent in our case.

It wasn't the PL that investigated the hack.

The PL never investigated it.

My understanding from many years ago is that under the Limitation Act 1980, fraud, concealment and mistake are the barriers to limitation. City will argue that none of these apply in our case, and the case should be covered by the act, and charges restricted to 2018 minus six years.

2023 minus six years.

Would be interested in knowing whether this is true or whether there are serious omissions in the reporting - Project River anybody else ? The Swedish Rumble stuff not the Harris/ video rubbish)

Seems like this dingus's lies have gained traction since yesterday. That's how easy it is to spread a false rumour about City

Apologies for going slightly off piste but just wondered what others thought about this conversation me and my brother had last week. We've all been so busy defending the allegations that nobody has really discussed how we should feel if we are found guilty.

Like most of you on here I seriously doubt that our owners would commit such a wide range of fraudulent acts when we really never needed to and I believe we have no reason not to trust Khaldoon when he says we have irrefutable evidence to prove our innocence but just playing devils advocate for a moment...

If we were found guilty and it all comes out that the allegations were true and it was proved beyond all doubt that our owners used tactics to circumnavigate/break the rules to gain a sporting advantage - how would you feel about our owners after such a judgement and would you just forgive them for tarnishing our clubs name because we won some (well quite a lot) of trophies?

Would any of you be angry with our owners for taking the club we have loved all our lives and dragging it through the mud for commercial gain and leaving us as fans to deal with the shit show it leaves behind (as we are now)? I feel there would never be any coming back from it as every success from here on out would just be met with the old 115 cheat tag from rivals a they are doing now before our case has even been heard. It would almost be like - what's the point anymore, we were better off without the success but our integrity in-tact.

If the owners brought that upon us I just don't know how I would feel about it all. I think it would be fair to be very angry with them.

You're going on about this in the week we could do 4 in a row,

Get to fuck.

21 posts in 12 years and this latest one is all what if's?

Whatever floats your boat flower but expect dogs abuse for looking like a prize prick.

Thanks in advance.

Surprised ours were only hacked and not stolen, all hardware and servers the lot
You know what these scousers are like

What happened to all the positivity and were innocent and just waiting for the PL exit strategy
That seems to have died a death

Nope. There was an overreaction to some positive rumours a week or so ago. Just back in the routine of wait and see now.

Fwiw, putting 2 and 2 together and making 5, my opinion is that the PL still can't prove anything serious and they may be looking for a settlement.

No idea what it's like for you blues having this hanging over you.... every time Forest / Everton / Leicester are mentioned, then City is jumped on.....

I'm thoroughly bored with it, it was apparently clear cut what happened with Everton / Forest and that was more recent (I think).....

Is it now just about the premier league trying to save face??? I think so....

Surely if it was so obvious offences had been committed, progress would have been made by now...maybe I am way oversimplifying things....

PL rules have been broken though. This is the equivalent in this season's handbook.

Also, I wonder how Chelsea's recent operations are being viewed in the light of B15.2.
