Fucking hell. Five o’clock in the morning and the rags have already taken up residence………..
PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules
- Thread starter ayrshire_blue
- Start date
City have made it quite clear that they are innocent and have the evidence to prove it. They will not fight a case in the media but in a ‘court’. What more do you want? Khaldoon on twitter?
Some serious psychological issues here. You can only take pride in something City have done if third parties laud it? Frankly, I take no pride in the rags winning anything and I don’t need the dippers to applaud our treble.
He said: '(broadcaster) TNT - no 12:30 discussion; referees; we don't talk about Man City - don't know why; we don't talk about financial things - don't know why; VAR'.
Compere for the evening John Bishop then questioned Klopp on what might happen should the Reds find themselves two league titles the richer should an ongoing investigation into Manchester City strip them of their crowns.
City are currently being investigated over 115 alleged charges of breaching Premier League financial rules, though the club has repeatedly and vehemently denied them.
Klopp said: 'If you organise a bus parade I'm in. How long it takes, I don't care how long.'

You (and all the other red shirts) really need to get a handle on time barring. I think there were 5 or 6 headline charges at CAS of which 3 were time barred. The biggie, which is the Etihad sponsorship deal, was not time barred and City were cleared accordingly, but even the charges that were time barred were all heard in full (just no judgment made at the end) and there was nothing in any of them to suggest we would have ‘lost’ them had such judgment been made. You can read them yourself and see, as they’re freely available.
And, if we’re found guilty by the PL tribunal, we ain’t getting away with a points deduction, cos we’ll have committed fraud and the punishment for that will be almost certainly be relegation, or even expulsion. Were the two sides to settle though, which I just can’t see happening, then I couldn’t see City accepting anything other than cosmetic punishment

We don’t know if our lawyers are doing anything. In fact us City fans know nothing at all about the case.
Some claim probably correctly that its a legal matter and the club won’t comment and / or why should idiots being given publicity. Some say confidently that things will be fine but they have no evidence of this.
5788 pages on this thread suggests that city fans are concerned. Silence from the club has aided a pile on from all directions as the cartel sees an opportunity.
Our owners have transformed our club for the better. We are hated and have this hanging over us because we are successful but I think their handling of the PR aspect is awful. If god forbid we lose the case it will be no good speaking out then.
I say this not because I am concerned about what the red lackeys in the media think but the effect on City fans. This has gone on too long.

When trying to come across as knowing what you're talking about it's advisable to actually know what you're talking about. You clearly don't.

With regard to your first use of convincing - the word 'specious' is your friend here. 'Convincing' is misleading for an endeavour that, while it's undoubtedly a product of consiserable toil, is underpinned by assumptions that are highly questionable at best, and is deceitfully presented as the whole story when of course it's no such thing. As you're perhaps suggesting, it's convincing only to idiots and one-eyed zealots, which regrettably is the whole point.
The below illustrates why 'specious' is the mot juste in the case at hand.
And I bet his cultists lapped it up
