PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[Kamaro011]

It's the length of the grass that's got us isn't it!

Not giving Yaya cake most likely.

Some dick on here said earlier we should sack Ferran and Omar. Fucks sake, it’s bad enough the media finding us guilty without trial, but our own “fans”! The fact is that lots of these unproven allegations pre date these two even being employed by City.

Not really new information but at least this side of the story is out there.

Maguire was on yesterday downplaying what the allegations mean in terms of guilt. He seems very reticent about going all in on this - he's a football finance professor, I think, and crops up a lot on this type of subject.

So from a cynical point of view, it sounds like we are in breach of less serious alleagtions then ?

Of course. I’m sure if the premier league did the same investigation into every other club they’d be guilty of things too

Would love the club to issue a statement along the lines of...
Manchester City FC urges the government to press ahead with the introduction of an independent regulatory body for football as a matter of urgency as the current system is open to corruption and no longer fit for purpose! MCFC would also urge all other clubs who voted for an independent regulator to do the same.

I think that would point the finger back at the corrupt cunts and possibly get other clubs and their fans and possibly some sections of the media thinking there's more to this than what's out there at present!

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

So far it's tumbleweed! :-/

Their is a reason we want an independent regulator. Because the others are all bent as fuck.

 

[BringBackSwales]

As much as I’d welcome a very gung-ho response from the club it’s important to trust the owners to handle it as they see best. Calm and controlled.

Yes at the very least a letter of apology to lfc at the earliest opportunity

Whilst I agree that the word fraud wasn't used they have definitely implied it by saying that we have deliberately falsified our books. That is a very serious allegation.

They didn't say we have deliberately falsified our books.

 

[Lavinda Past]

When we are 100% cleared and innocent, that will be our moment, that will be the time to have our say.

Great things come to those that wait.

I really wish I had your confidence mate.

Every business is involved (at least) a few 'dodgy dealings', no matter how small or large. It's the nature of the beast.

If only one charge can be proved against City, the PL and media (and no doubt UEFA) will absolutely to town on us.

I must start taking the positive pills!

He is. A Brighton fan.

I think he's on record as saying without knowing exactly what evidence the PL have against us, it's impossible to forecast an outcome from all of this in terms of guilt or innocence. Or words to those effect.
