PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[Dribble]

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'

I've sent the below screenshot to the Rags who were harassing me when the news broke yesterday...

So far it's tumbleweed! :-/

The statute of limitation on criminal fraud cases is 6 years as far as I know.

Not if there’s tax implications. No limitations on that.

No - the Premier League can't prosecute; the police/serious fraud office are the ones who would charge, and until prosecution proceedings are pending, these are all civil matters and there is no sub-judice.
They've accused City of numerous breaches of rules, but I doubt that the word "fraud" has been used by any official against City. The media and other fans may have implied or even used the word 'fraud', but I doubt that any official would dare to do so as they'd be capable of being sued for libel when City are exonerated.

You seem to have a good grasp of this. Can you explain why, if the PL thought they had evidence of financial irregularities, their next step would be the independent panel and not simply handing over the evidence to the police/SFO?

For me (a layman), it seems the current charges are far more serious than the apparent next step would suggest. I don’t understand why the PL are still in control of this?

Headlines, media sick of hearing IF they are found guilty relegate them IF they are guilty deduct points IF they are guilty take away the titles, here’s one I’ve not heard yet what IF we are not guilty what happens then do we go after them ? that one not been on Sly Sports yet……

Fucking bullseye !!!!

It keeps happening because we keep winning. We keep getting bigger, stronger, as a business.

Pep keeps extending.

Don't let it drain us, that's what they want. Save our energies for supporting the lads and Pep the rest of this season.

Agreed Tolm…..after booing the living shit out of that PL jingle, Pep and the lads will be getting the best support I can give from CB1, that’s if I don’t spot any press wankers, on that note we could definitely do with a wanted poster for some of em, or a deck of cards like the Americans did with Saddam etc

Well said. I think this will make everyone more likely, not less likely to keep going and will, hopefully, galvanise the support even more into getting behind the team.

Shit I’m fucked been in hiding since 2017

 

[Keeper!]

To be fair mate, you don’t know that’s true. Not going public doesn’t necessarily equate to passivity and shyness.

It's 100% true, we have allowed the narrative from day 1, and it went on far too long.

It will refer to the inflated sales of meat 'n potato pies 'n Bovril in the season following the first trophy win. We need to explain how we sold 100,000 pies per game when the MUEN had felt-tipped in so many empty seats!

Sorry that was me, well 99,900 of them.
