PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[blueju]

Not a British interest. Only interesting to those who hate Liverpool.

You’re comparing it to what would be explosive for one of our institutions

It really is a British interest when the press lean so heavily towards and in favour of the redshirts and considering their current favourite receives tens of millions every year from SC.

Is there a way to check any deleted emails? Besides the junk folder which they would obviously empty? ie, could a computer specialist if required confirm if any emails were indeed deleted?

if something is stored locally you could in essence drill the hard drive so its gone, but if we are talking about emails, texts etc then it is nigh on impossible to ever truly erase them if that level of info was required a forensic computer analyst or a decent hacker would get you them , now where could we get some of them, i think china have a few ;)

Makes me wonder what Khaldoon did to so utterly convince Pep that we were right and clean, that Pep came put and backed us so vehemently.

He must have shown him some absolutely clear and damning evidence that we already had, ready to unpack at the right time..

The only possible doubt around which would be if we had made it up, like for example cutting amd pasting out of context pieces of what people had said...hence that statement about trust from Pep...

Paid him some on the side.

Respectfully disagree.

Literally any change in the wind will be picked up by the media.
If city are guilty they’ll run it and they’ll sell gangbusters.
Massive corruption at the head of the football? They’ll be over that that, imagine the stories, headlines, clicks and ad revenue as the premier league collapses!

They are vultures that’ll pick at any corpse if the eating is good.

Irony: if the PL collapsed, Teabag would be delighted………… But hold on Snr. Teabag, we would join Barca and Real in the superleague.

Yes, the Arsenal letter is just part of a much bigger campaign. They wanted UEFA Rules they said but when that didn’t work, they lobbied for more rules such as associated sponsors and got them.
They didn’t campaign for control of debt, though. I wonder why.

That’s a really good question about debt. Stefan says it’s perfectly reasonable for clubs to look for ways to stifle competition but as Mario said “why always me!”

Imagine weakening the biggest club in the world but no clubs even raised it…. Strange.

Much as I respect Stefan he's not really in a position to judge yet. I don't think he has seen City's full 165-page documents yet for the APT case so he doesn't know the full context. The texts and emails for the 115 case go back to 2009 well before the Spiegl stuff had seen the light of day and few people know what's in those documents. There is a good chance there will be some embarrassing content. In my experence football club directors are very indiscrete people.

My only issue with the recent request for PL texts/emails going back to 2009 is there will be a lot, and assessing them before a November seems optimistic. However fingers crossed they do some damage if genuine.

Ah, the FSG board.

But how could any party prove these emails/txt message exist?

the recipients and cc’s might have them.

Perhaps City know where to look

I am not sure whether there being a witch hunt against the club at all affects the substance of the PL's case against City.

What about the non-cooperation charges ? If we were able to show that the PLs enquiry was not fair and independent and was being driven by certain clubs or that it was being directed by individuals with links (I was going to say "associated with") a party of clubs acting in concert, and in their own interests, I think that would strike to the heart of the process and, at the very least, provide mitigation.

The handing over of emails etc is indeed standard procedure but obviously the juice maybe what’s been said in them emails?? One act or response to a cartel club is enough to fight a discriminatory act against us and would show the club involved as well and responses? Over all them years there has to be something derogatory in there about City surely?!
