PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

Wasn’t it Khaldoon who told the redshirts not to blame City for their failure?
So many of the mancheaty brigade really have no idea just how badly clubs have been run in the past, and many, eg the rags, still are run like a sweet shop. City come along, manage the thing like a proper company and bingo, we win so we must be cheating.

American owners who see the NFL as a cash-cow. If the ground is becoming dilapidated, they just move to a new City & are greated with open arms. These same owners wanted the same with premiership clubs, skimming as much as possible off the budget & hate that Sheikh Mansour pours all the revenues that City make back into MCFC.
 
Said it from start to finish, this was nothing more than a fishing expedition, if there was any kind of serious idea to curb city they would not have gone with 115 charges as that was always going to be impossible to prove, this was all about tarnishing city to appease their own fans and make them blame city rather than themselves, absolute classic misdirection right out of yank business 101 and like has already been mentioned they didnt expect city to call their bluff

I still believe the cartel clubs & the EPL had jumped on the back of UEFA 2 year ban & when it was overturned by CAS they wanted it to quietly go away.

it was all or nothing when the independent regulator green paper was annonced

they used city as a scapegoat to say look we've got our own house in order, we dont need an independent regulator and they expected city to take a pinch and the independent regulator would go away and they could all go back to their old boys club, city didnt, it hasnt and they are fucked.

It's also they get out of jail card as they can say similar to the cartel, that just like Uefa, We had City bang to rights but they've managed to wriggle out of it & there's nothing more we can do

I asm noot sure about that. The Superleague has come against a backdrop of financial problems for those clubs tht want the Superleague. City are part of that agreed. They do not like us making and taking all the profits. Their fans would defintaly want a superleague now though.
I suspect if they tried for it again the fans would embrace it.

I suspect that you need a new keyboard.
 
Suspect Tolmie is somewhere between hearing there are genuine positive, optimistic, vibes at the club and knowing how difficult a case the PL have on their hands, so is simply hedging bets by going balls deep here in his relatively new venture on Twitter.

If he's wrong, there's not much to be lost for Tolmie as everyone's anger will be directed elsewhere. If he's right, he's seen as the Messiah and his follower count and interactions go through the roof.

Of course, let's hope he's right. I'm just not sure on it yet (not that anyone asked!).

If Tolmie is posting that then surely the club already know the outcome and it’s now managing the PR dude if things for the premier league?

I don't doubt that Tolmie posts in good faith but he's been wrong before and could be again. I won't get my hopes up until there is something official.

Funny how the day after the government announced they would like an inpendent regulator the Premier League suddenly announced the charges.

They absolutely shit the bed. No doubt they had been investigating us but panicked when the government said this. It was just to show the government they were doing something and I don't think the investigation was anywhere near completed.

On that basis I'm confident our legal team will take them to the cleaners
