PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

@slbsn, do you think the news is just going to land on our phones, tv screens and laptops one day out of the blue?

Think I heard you saying that both parties would be told of the outcome before it is announced. Are we going to get signals from either party to know when to expect the official announcement?

I believe deep down we know the bit that “no one knows about” & that’s because they are somehow trying to find a win win situation. The only way you can possibly get that is for City to be cleared & the premier league not to come out of it too badly. I know we’ll be told it’s out of everyone’s hands but I think that’s naive, especially when you’ve got world leaders & the UKs highest profile industry.

Some are able to express their opinions more eloquently than others which gives them the edge in the believable stakes.

We know the parties get the decision first for minor checks and to prepare comms. The only question is how long they have to digest before wider release (if each part is to be released ie liability first etc). I'd expect the liability decision to be released but probably with no white smoke indicating when. But it wouldn't hurt anyone to say the decision will be handed down publicly on xx [Sept][Oct][2025][2026] or whatever

No, not that I'm one of those people. People who know people close to all of this will "know" far more than myself for instance. Of course this may depend on your exact definition of "know". Nobody will have the written answer for starters, unless it dropped 10 minutes ago ;)

That's a possibility.

Personally, I am still not completely convinced it's taking longer than it should do. But equally, I am not at all convinced that it is bad for the club if it is. I really can't see a situation where the club comes out of this with any of the serious allegations proven no matter how long it takes. I never could and I still can't.

A little embarrassment is the very worst that can come out of this if the PL can prove any of its minor allegations, and even that is a stretch for me. Incidentally, non-cooperation isn't an embarrassment for me either.

Anyway, enough about this. We will see soon enough anyway and I will probably be wrong. Again :)

Edit: Fuck me, I said charges. Changed to allegations. I hate that.

Edit 2: Fuck me again, I said guilty. Changed to allegations proven. I hate that too ....

It will happen the way the associated parties dispute was concluded a statement released by both parties at the same time. Think everyone’s heart skipped a beat the other week when the notification from the City App had club statement on it. Will be exactly the same procedure again at a day or time we don’t expect. Then the whole day is taken up on here to actually make head or tail of what’s actually happened.

Matthew 24:36. "But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven."

Matthew - Book 1 of the NT. 24:36 add up to 15. Sounds pretty prophetic to me.

You should love it as i imagine you have had no charges but quite a few allegations ;)

Yes but this is a great crowdsourcing site. When you add up all the little genuine nuggets of info on here you usually get very close to the truth. The advance info on Bluemoon on the UEFA/CAS case was spot on. While the mainstream media was reporting we were going to get hammered (thanks to false leaks) UEFA officials were in Manchester begging for a deal with Khaldoon because they had no evidence.
