PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[supercity88]

At the risk of outing myself as thick as fuck, I struggle with the notion that preposterous charges have been brought by the EPL who must have sought the advice of competent lawyers before they did so. Genuine question to you - do you believe the EPL lawyers are thick as fuck also, or is it the case that the charges were issued by the EPL against legal advice?
For what it’s worth I trust Khaldoon‘s irrefutable evidence statement but as I say it seems virtually unthinkable that any responsible organisation would issue proceedings of such magnitude knowing such proceedings were doomed to fail

Relax about the legal position.

Vardy v Rooney libel case. Someone took that on despite the fact Vardy was clearly guilty. It made no fucking sense at all, but if you pay their bills and instruct them, lawyers will do what they're requested to (within reason of course).

I like Tolmie but didn't he get the cease and desist letters information wrong? Is this new information or just rehashing what the club has said all along?

I’m not sure anyone can evaluate whether cease and desist letters have been sent (and consequently worked) if we don’t know who they’ve been sent to!

Well I would have thought they would have been sent to our most venomous critics but they appear to be continuing unabated.

Dunno, you’d have to ask him!

The media have changed their tune from saying were guilty to saying the charges are casting a shadow over the club.


This was always going to happen that the charges would be brought up again after we won the league. Pretty much everyone predicted that on here

It could mean something and nothing this announcement. The hearing is this year and the club have said we will be cleared. We obviously all want to believe that something new has leaked out to finally bring this whole shitshow to an end.

At their level the period of notice to quit can be 6 months and more, the gardening leave is to keep them away from their current employers daily work as they (City in this case) are still contractually bound to pay him whatever is in the contract. He's obviously not supposed to start any work for whoever he's going to but given Scruffy Jim's comments about having had a grown up conversation with City then I can't see City complaining. City always seem to act with the utmost good faith to everybody, which makes some of the PL's charges amusing.

Agree
But are City paying him not to work and he is personally I would be pissd off
