PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[gordondaviesmoustache]

Said every fraudster and tax avoider in history.

Probably not the ones from before emails were invented.

 

[Coatigan]

If the Premier League were so convinced it was a slam dunk case, I'd argue the longer it has gone on, the better.

Certainly a slam dunk doesn't take a year to conclude.

As recently evidenced by the coach and horses City ran through these idiots over sponsorships, we are not dealing with geniuses.

By the same logic, our irrefutable evidence shouldn't take a year to prove irrefutable?

It maybe takes a year because it just takes a year, and that doesn't have to mean anything for either side.

 

[SilverFox2]

If we have broken rules designed to stop us unfairly that’s fine with me.

In a way you are right because it was surely bad faith that targeted us at the time and only UK legal action rectified the rulings.

 

[mattcity5]

Given what we wrote in those emails, we're not geniuses ourselves.

The length of the wait doesn't mean a huge amount in and of itself, but I'd be surprised if the club weren't starting to feel a bit concerned.

But if our systems were hacked and that couple of emails is the worst thing they found?

I'd say that's cleaner than most clubs, it's just that it's only us who've been hacked.

CAS was shown the full email trail as the conversation didn’t run in order so why would it be different this time?! I’m sure some fans WANT us to be guilty!

Pinto hacked loads of clubs but amazing only the City emails were shown in public eh?

 

[East Level 2]

Quite frankly I couldn't give a fuck how it goes after the amount of time being taken.
Just get it FUCKIN done - what happens after happens - most on here will still follow God's own club.

Glad you said follow instead of support given so many can't be arsed with games against top European clubs.

I wouldn't imagine any fans would want us to be guilty, theorising and discussing potential aspects related to the case shouldn't be frowned upon, especially if a portion of the forum are work in law.

 

[The Lightbowne Cowboy]

Nope. We just want it sorted. Either way, we’ll still be in the stands & the STs will be cheap as chips.

And I might get an away ticket at last.

And something that just suggested something possibly was discussed was the worst of it?

Odd really.

 

[HorlockofFiretopMountain]

if Arsenal win the title this season I think a lot of the storm coming from this will be muted.

They only really cared when we were winning 4 in a row.

For this reason I think any announcement, will be delayed until the season finishes. An Arsenal (or AN Other Club) win, plus the impending World Cup will take the spotlight off the outcome of the case.

 

[Gorton_Tubster]

They're not going to get the result and then sit on it for half a season. Neither side will allow that tbh

 

[spinney]

On here we've been told that the commission will not let football issues goven when they announce the results , so if they are being pressured to hold on to the result then surely thats another reason for us to challenge the whole fiasco and its intentions

 

[Metal Biker]

However you slice it, there's no way anyone can defend the length of time this has taken to announce the decision.

It's beyond ridiculous at this point.

Not even close to true but it's old news so you'd have to google it.

Way too much chance things leak if they do that

Top Whack billable hours! never underestimate the ability of a solicitor to take 4 hours on the clock to do something that would take them 2 mins off it.

 

[Tevez City]

I think it will be released in the next 115 days

 

[Gorton_Tubster]

Feb 19th I think Chatgpt told me. Or the 29th cant remember. Seems more likely than what the experts are guessing at

 

[blue b4 the moon]

I'm on a cruise over Christmas and Mrs Moon had the option of half a dozen cabins for us....I picked level 11 cabin 115 or as it'll be shown on the door 11115.

I was expecting this to be the last hurrah for all this shite and that I could smile every time I went in but, seems like it could be months or possibly fucking years yet.
