PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

Yeah they talk about fair value but they
only look at the beginning of the contract & look at in isolation, but it was for 10 years.

By the end, the contract was so under-valued though, bearing in mind that it was for both the shirt and stadium and that the rags had signed a shirt deal for £65m per year in 2015!
Yeah, it's silly. I don't think in 2024 you can argue it's not been anything but fair. Probably high the early years, mid-table. Honestly took me aback to hear anyone argue on that terrain these days.
 
Sorry but we won't be facing any kangaroo court.

KC's facing KC's, you really think they would be happy to commit fraud?
It is more a case of how they view the evidence in relation to the balance or probabilities. It doesn't even need to be fraud. Just in built discrimination would suffice.

I hope the outcome will be fair and also that we have acted in good faith. I especially hope that the Prem don't have compelling evidence.

And that’s how I would have sold it at the beginning. “Mr Etihad, I understand that you feel this is a lot to pay but look at our future plan. I can guarantee you that in 5 years time you will regard this as a cheap price to pay and we will show you loyalty going forward. Just sign here please”
After all the club has the best managers, players, lawyers. Why not the best salesmen too?

I have no worries about the fairness of the panel, obviously we all hope the "irrefutable evidence" is just that.
 
I don’t just want a complete and total admission of innocence. It needs to be followed by
Messi announcing he’s up for one last bout with Pep at the Etihad for one season.
Pep then extends his contract.
Wirtz and Neves sign on deadline day.
City win the CL, WCC and Pl with the latter one point ahead of Arsenal.
Spontaneous human combustion in Oslo, Dublin and Dippersville.
And a well known critic NH ending up with a pencil up his nose chanting wibble at all and sundry.
 
It’s arse.

My cockney (born in Millwall) brother -in-law told me years ago that ‘Arris is an abbreviation for Aristotle.

Which itself is a bastardisation of bottle.

Bottle and glass is Cockney rhyming slang for arse.


If you speak like a cockney!

All that fucking about when they could just say a one syllable word?
 
It won’t make any difference. We will still be labelled as cheats regardless if found guilty or not
It will make a huge difference because we will be able to laugh at every bitter comment from them whereas at the moment we only have the innocent until proven guilty card. The fact we’re 99% sure that the club will be vindicated means nothing until commission makes its decision formally. They will all join in the huge conspiracy narrative and will get laughed at by sane people who aren’t stupid.
