PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[Kippax77]

I see every back page has us being relegated from the Premier League, I know this isn't the actual law but why is this reporting allowed? It surely has an influence on proceedings, there's no way this "independent" panel will find in our favour.

They're getting the green light to fuck us over because apart from the Club, staff and fans there's hardly anyone else who wishes to see us exonerated.

On the back of the bent goal against the Rags this is the biggest stitch up in my lifetime of following football.

I smelt a rat on Friday when Howard Webb admitted ushited's goal in the Derby shouldn't of stood

This is the fundamental point that should’ve been fought from day one.No other industry in the world can stop an individual putting money in to help said business progress.It’s laughable and was only invented to stop us,simple as.At the same time,for the other 98% of football history in this country,teams could do pretty much anything they wanted to gain success and nobody would bat an eyelid,unless they actually went bust!Different landscape completely now,all down to City becoming wealthy. Utter f’kin shithouses…

The club should have pushed back more against this at the time imo.

My kids tell the Rags at their school they have been to Wembley more times than they have been to the swamp

Same as. My eldest first game was the Chelsea game just after the takeover, my youngests was the nil nil against Birmingham, Zulu’s reunion. Both blissfully unaware of what was happening around them, both now very aware of the shit and corruption in football, led by the horrific red clubs

 

[Resurrection Joe...]

If found guilty I will accept all punishments, with a sly grin.
Happy in the knowledge that one way or another we got one over the collection of smug, self satisfied, sanctimonious twats who believe that their success is a birthright entitlement. I will also be fairly confident that once we are gone the cartel will fall apart as they fight like rats in a sack. This I will watch with a large cigar on.

There was this tbf.

Here,s link to article, interesting that City the only one of top six in favour of government appointing an independent regulator. But of course theres no agenda.

Man City 'thrown under the bus' by Premier League in attempt to avoid independent regulator

A football finance expert tells i that the timing of the Premier League announcement was 'as much to do with politics as it is to with Man City'

If we are found not guilty, what type of mental gymnastics can rival clubs, their supporters and the media come up with when potentially the CAS and then the high court rule in City’s favour? If the club are bullish about it, bring it on the stench of piss boiling across the football world will be glorious.

I agree, its the timeframe that this is going to take to clear our name, a lot of damage has been done to the club , and the foreseeable until we are "cleared".

I hope our legal team are all over this.

Ex-UEFA chief says Premier League has a STRONGER case against Man City

The Premier League has a considerably stronger case against Manchester City than UEFA had just three years ago, according to the governing body's former chief investigator Yves Leterme.

www.dailymail.co.uk

What the fuck is Leterne going on about here? Because none of the below was found to have happened by CAS. Especially this bit: "it turned out that money from sponsorship was actually paid by the owner". Sounds like the shit stirring **** is making it up:

'There was a total lack of transparent flow of financial information. With a battery of lawyers, they did everything they could to counter the work of our auditors. In addition, it turned out that money from sponsorship was actually paid by the owner.'

He added: 'Finally, there were also the ambiguities surrounding contracts. However, thanks to emails and bank statements, we had hard evidence. I am convinced that fraud has been committed by Manchester City.

'The problem, however, was that UEFA's ruling could be contested with an arbitration committee, which does not fall under the real judiciary. Those arbitrators are always drawn from 10 to 12 of the same people and can reduce the sentence because they consider it too severe.'

We ain't losing bud.

If the outcome isn't pre-determined already, like what happened with UEFA, then I expect the club will fined for non-cooperation with the investigation, though not on all 30 charges.

Maybe they might fine us for a few misdemeanors too.

The PL are accusing the club of very serious financial criminality and if they had evidence of such things it wouldn't be the PL investigating and passing judgement it would be the HMRC and other government agencies - in fact the CFG would have been raided.

is there a date for this so called independent enquiry?
