PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[I'm Blue]

Magic Hat = Nick Harris. There is no doubt about it.

Harris has created this alter ego to remind the footballing world of the atrocities committed by City. He then makes up a fictitious dialogue to make everyone think Magic Hat is a North American college student that follows soccer. Having created this false impression, Harris insults his created character to such an extent that they become estranged from each other, leaving Magic Hat to continue Harris's ongoing campaign against City in anonymity.

Well just as Harris accuses Magic Hat of betraying his nationality, Harris himself makes a number of errors that indicate he is Magic Hat.

We have already looked at their shared vocabulary and common use of a number of uncommon words. There is also their common use of arsehole, when, as pointed out on here an American would most likely use asshole.

Further evidence that Harris and Magic Hat both posted from the same time zone can be found in the chat thread Harris asked to be published.

The excerpt here is from Magic Hat's chat. The blue chats show Magic Hat's own time stamps. The white chats are Harris's, with the time stamps for when they were received by Magic Hat. Harris, trying to create the false impression Magic Hat is in America, estimates the local time for him is 5pm or 6pm - five or six hours behind UK time. This means Harris must be five or six hours in front of where he thinks Magic Hat is. So Harris's actual time is 11pm, which is the same time zone as Magic Hat.

Magic Hat also stated in the chat that he discussed City's charges with people at the footy. This can only mean whilst attending games in England. Americans do not use the word footy?

So, there is a very strong likelihood that Harris and Magic Hat are both in the same time zone, here in the UK. Their chats have been between these times:

11:29pm to 01:08am
09:59pm to 10:09pm
08:53pm to 08:58pm
10:10pm to 11:54pm
12:27am to 02:27am

We know Harris is often awake in the early hours of the morning posting his online ravings, but are these really the kind of hours you would have an online chat with a complete stranger? I don't think so.

Therefore, on the balance of probabilities, which is sufficient for this little study, I find that Nick Harris is Magic Hat.

See Nick that’s how you investigate something you fucking wankstain.

They take the piss out of all clubs mate. I wouldn't take it personally.

Still doesn’t make it funny.

Our friend Mr Hat, in discussion with Stefan about auditors, makes the following statement… saying auditors couldn’t determine anything about the following….

The alleged events that resulted in the charges relevant here are:
- Payments of owner funds (equity) to sponsors, onto Man City; and
- Off the book payments from related parties to subsidise payments that Man City would otherwise have had to make

I’m just checking, but we’re not alleged to have done this are we - I thought the issue was we were accused of receiving funds directly from the owner instead of the sponsor. He’s right in that if the sponsor pays us, it’s irrelevant to anyone how they themselves fund that payment and so an auditor of City couldn’t and wouldn’t care. And presumably there’s no PL or UEFA rule against it.

Am I right?

Thats exactly what UEFA alleged we did, there’s been no allegation of direct to City payments to cover the sponsors.

I have a simple remedy to the twitterati. I do not subscribe so nothing on there bothers me. Try it.
My only social media is Bluemoon.

Same here.

Like @KS55 I don’t do social media. I gave it up going back to the days of Facebook which I was on for a while. That’s over a decade ago I think.

So the only reason I know who Nick Harris is, is through here.

All I’ll say Nick, if you are reading this, you alone know if the allegations against yourself in here are true or not.
If they are, that is seriously deranged behaviour. You need to take a step back and do an audit on yourself.

In case you think I’m being another City CBA, I’m not. I’m being serious man. That’s not normal. Take stock of your own situation and look after your own health. This obsession is not healthy.

Some crossed wires here. There is no regulation that stops an owner from funding a sponsor. You can’t look behind that curtain.

Whether it is the same person or not (Harris and his alter ego).....no problem in perpetuating the rumour , the truth really doesn't matter.

The truth has not stopped the likes of Harris and the rest of the idiots slinging mud at City in the hope that some of it sticks and tarnishes our achievements.

What goes around !!!!!

It could be a good earner. Maybe you could do talks at supporters clubs showing power point presentations on how they are the same, then there’s substack….

 

[tolmie's hairdoo]

It really wouldn't, I remember when the initial takeover was being processed, it was the Family as opposed to Sheikh Mansour. It was reported the acquisition wouldn't even go before the family "board" as it was minor compared to the normal business investments.

I think only acquisition's over half a billion dollars had to be ratified, Sky made a joke about it at the time and listed the family's worth as £552b.

The Sheik would easily survive as would others, us as a Club would be in the shit, how it goes from there nobody knows, it's all conjecture.

He wouldn't survive, certainly from a visible point.

Silver Lake would be the likeliest buyer.

Are any of the charges after 2018.
