PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[BlueBas]

Has this been mentioned? "The club’s legal team also noticed that a significant number of the charges and the regulations they breached were incorrectly notified on the original announcement and were later altered by the Premier League."

Looks like the charges were hurried by the Premier League to beat the White Paper on football governance, and in doing so the effed up a number of the regs the charges referred to. I hope that's an indication of the quality of their investigation!

My son messaged me from school yesterday and said “I know now dad why you think rags are as big cunts as dippers”. I didn’t tell him off for using the C word, and he has grown up with the dippers being our main rivals, but he saw the rag pricks as being the cunts they equally are yesterday.

I reminded him that him and his brother, 16 and 14, are brilliant City fans and always will be and that City have always been a brilliant club with brilliant fans, and always will be.

I also reminded him that when he was a baby in his pram we went into the local bakers and he had his City hat on, at which the twat behind the counter said “oh don’t be bringing him in here with that hat on”, to which I said I’ve been listening to shit like that for 50 years and not taken it, and neither will my son; I haven’t and nor has he, and we never will. She then proceeded to tell me that she was only joking, I asked her if she could see me smiling? She handed me my sandwich and I said if you think I’m paying for anything you’ve touched you can fuck right off and threw the fucker (the sandwich) on the floor, and wheeled my son out. Interestingly as I went through the door the bloke behind me said “that’s disgusting”, as I was about to explain my reasons he said not you Blue, her, City til we die, and he walked out too saying I’m never coming in this shop again. 16 years later and I don’t know if he’s been back in but I haven’t.

Blue blood runs deep and thick. I am proud of my son, he is quite badly behaved at times but he is City through and through, as is his younger brother. They were with me at spurs on Sunday and as Harry said yesterday if they relegate us it’ll be easier to get tickets for away games, bless him.

We survived 35 years without a trophy, over 20 years of Peter fucking Swales, we will survive this.

CITY TIL WE DIE

Who Started the Premier League ? The big 5 as they portrayed themselves Livarpool Man Utd Everton Arsenal and Tottenham . They made the breakaway for there own financial gains , they wanted more money for themselves , fuck the other 87 teams . They made the rules and they changed the rules to suit themselves .

A theory, based on two things we’re fairly certain of:

1. The drivers of the accusations are the American owned clubs. The same entities that were behind the push for a European Super League.

2. It seems the charges levelled by the Premier League are broadly the same as those that died a death at the CAS adjudication. Seemingly a weak basis for a ‘winner takes all’ attack, especially as they’ve dragged their feet for years, and the fact we have the same ‘irrefutable proof’ of our innocence as we did then.

What if the ‘American clubs’ are setting up the Premier League organisation to fail?

The damage to the PL in reputational and financial terms (presumably after damages paid to City) would be immense.

A perfect excuse to revive the notion of the European Super League?

It is so PL obv don't want ESL so it has to becseen to appease cartel... its one cartel in prem which is fine but not in ESL. Id prefer to bebout of this and in the conference, they can keep this bent s**t

Kinell. So they were just that shit for no reason?!

God knows what they'll be like on Sunday then when the scum will probably be 3 points clear of us

Gun toting guerrillas in Rwanda? I get the point you're trying to make but Rwanda is a very safe country right now.

Aye, I was being a bit lazy but a jokes a joke ;-)

There’ll take our cups
There’ll take our shields
There’ll make us play at Macclesfield
We’ll win the day
We’ll win the fight
We are the team in blue and white
Mcfc will never give in
We follow our club through thick and thin


Up the blues.

But they'll never take ....... OUR FREEDOM!

so the proceedings of whats to come, would i be correct in this order- the PL have their hearing and will most certainly find us Guilty, City can then apeal and if that fails go to the High Court, the last one of these being the most likely one that we would win. as for punishment given out by the PL would that be suspended untill the apeals have been exausted?

Not exactly independent then?

 

[77lost by a point]

Would there be any negative consequences for the PL or personally for any persons on that side, when they loose this battle? What is at stake for them? Does anyone have an idea about that?

The core cause for this is obviously money. When we were taken over the message was (to paraphrase) to make the club the number 1 club in the country. This was ridiculed by the supporters, ex managers and journalists of mainly the historic top 5 clubs and those members of the G14 in Europe who had cut a deal with UEFA to head off a super league and retain the status quo whereby the same clubs in effect created a closed shop. How often were you told by some know it all rag " they'll soon get bored and you will be back where you were before " ? When this didn't materialise there was an obvious collusion between clubs led by the red tops to protect their income streams, status and to stop these upstarts from upsetting the proverbial apple cart. Nobody will convince any of us that those taking the moral high ground are really bothered about the workings of rival clubs as long as those other clubs don't earn more and don't impact on their cosy little club. Over the years the drip, drip of negativity has left us isolated, even when the then manager of the rags David Moyes stated that maybe their club needed to be more like Manchester City was met with derision and the likes of Roweta were wheeled out by the media to state that she was insulted and verged on screeching "we'll never be like them". So going back to money, it could be in this case who has the deepest pockets and how much each side is prepared to spend. Maybe the number of charges will be reduced and a deal is cut whereby lesser penalties are imposed or the club decide to fight this even this means having to go to the High Court and how much they are prepared to spend defending the club. By the same token the same can be said for the Premier League and how much they are prepared to spend before it becomes too much of a drain on their finances. Ideally after all this is over I hope the City and their owners go all out to expose the spiteful clubs even using their influence at Governmental level.

Anybody know who is the weapon/groomer behind his Alias? Despite never attending Utd games he is often quick to make digs at city and their following?

I don't work in the accountancy sector and haven't for many years but when I did it was for a company that eventually was absorbed into BDO. Along with Grant Thornton, they're the next biggest behind the likes of EY, PWC, KPMG and Deloitte. They operate in over 150 countries so they're certainly far from the one-man band I worked for just after leaving them.

They became our auditors in 2006, as they audited the 2007 accounts, so pre-date either takeover.

Thanks for the info. I thought for a minute you said THEY were a one man band when you left them!
