PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[Scouse Blue]

Apologies if this has already been covered.

I have worked for the same highly profitable large corporation business in a senior management role for the last 38 years.

Businesses don't make decisions or decide courses of action, Directors and senior managers do.

Exactly who in the PL management structure is driving this?

 

[John Wayne]

I don’t see why not.

They actually requested jurors stand down if that was the case. It happened in Ben Stokes' trial a few years ago - any cricket fans were told to stand down.

Important not to forget the PL investigation started 4 years ago

cant see how that will find us guilty of anything so.

I'm not interested in responding to them! I've seen some right nonsense this morning. Someone saying we're being used by the Saudi's to money launder is a personal favourite. I nearly started a response but there's no point!

Spot on. No point in responding. It's a feeding frenzy right now. The big issue is that people will get confused by what is speculation and what is factual. The more they hear a particular argument the more they believe it even if its based on someone with a few followers on twitter that has no accounting/legal experience. Man Utd fans don't care what it takes to get a result against City on and off the pitch. They are not called The Shits for nowt.

We are at war with the FA and PL. They have messed with the wrong club and we will take them to the cleaners.

Nice round number ,wonder who was working on this
Time to stop at 100,...101 would seem absurd ?

I think I saw that on pron hub. Different ending though.

Something fishy about that.

Why are City’s sponsors inflated? We hear it a lot but you tell me which is above market value & why?

I know you are supportive but it’s part of the myth. Has anyone considered that Etihad is lower than market value?

Regarding sponsorship, I’ve no idea but inflating deals has been alleged. Not sure the relevance of the value of the Etihad.

A follow up for you: why has it been deemed that straight up owner investment - I own this business, I have this money, I will put this money into this business - is somehow worse than everything you mention?

No idea which is why I asked the question
