PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

Remembered why I muted you in the first place.

No differing of opinions allowed.

There's being optimistic and then there's thinking these emails, which are just standard disclosure, will end the 115 charges etc.

I'm not sure it's standard disclosure in a Section W disciplinary case. I don't see anywhere in Section W that allows for disclosure requests.

In Section X yes, but in Section W no. Unless I am misreading the legalities which is, of course, possible.
 
City, the team I support unconditionally, are a fantastic football club.

You cannot pick and choose who you support, it's in your bones from your earliest memory.

Half and half scarfers, selfie stick wavers and bandwagon jumpers just don't understand.

Personally, I've seen us win the league cup with Dennis's overhead kick, seen us miss out on the division 1 title by a point and reach the centenary FA cup final in '81, the result of which still hurts.

David fkin Pleat, skipping across the pitch, dropping into division 2 and rising like a Phoenix, thanks to Joe and KK to get back to the PL.

The take over in 2008, not really knowing what to expect, the media even back then couldn't help themselves, sneering and belittling us.

Roberto breaking the mould, winning the FA cup, beating the rags on route..

The PL title in 2012, so nearly typical City too..

Manuel winning our first double in 2014, an achievement once again shockingly ignored by the media at the time.

Pep, what can I say, Pep, agreeing to manage us.

Fundamentally changed the game of football in this Country dispite being dismissed as out of his depth joining the PL..

"His brand of football won't work in England, we lump it up to the big man and work on knockdowns and second balls, none of this tippy tappy nonsense for us, thank you very much"..

What a fkin journey we've been on since..

Doubles
Trebles
Quadruples
Champions League
European Super Cup
World Club Champions
100 points
Most home wins in a season
Most away wins in a season
Biggest point margin in winning the PL
Best team in England over the last decade to name but a few of our achievements.

All achieved by not breaking the bank, dispite the laughable notion that we can spend what we want..

On the other spin of the coin, during all this time..

The rags..
Won nothing of note for 11 years.
Best part of a £billon in debt and absolutely no direction.

Dilapidated stadium and failing FFP this season which didn't so much as cause a murmur in the media.

Lift carpet, sweep under and move on.

The dippers..
Dispite having the best manager and the best players in every position, have been completely in our shadow since bingo rocked up there.

One PL* win since it's inception in 1993 and beating a shit spuds team in a CL final which the dippers reached despite losing 4 games on the way.

Sponsored by a money laundering, terrorist supporting bank.

The other stuff they managed to win was mainly on penalties after failing to score a single goal in 120 minutes of play..

Bingo, this season saw his arse and fucked off mid season, a broken man..

Maybe he knows something is coming over the hill regarding the shit we've had thrown at us and has decided to fcuk off now..

Personally, I must say, "it was a good day for football when bingo decided to jack it in"

The tarquins..
Bottlers, drama queens and losers.
The only team to win consecutive titles at Christmas..

Sponsered by Rwanda who's human rights record is shocking.

Spent more than us over the last 2 seasons at least and won fcuk all..

Not a peep from the media as you would expect.

Spuds..
Won fcuk all in my lifetime or most peoples lifetimes to be fair.

Irrelevant, trophy dodgers extrodinaire..

Absolutely no morals..
Main shareholder has been convicted for insider trading in the US.

Annoying little brother of the above 3..

Fast forward to today..

We have just won our 4th straight PL title, just missed out on a first ever double double too..

No respect, acknowledgement or recognition from the media for our outstanding, never been done before in the history of English football, achievement..

We are not the biggest spenders, we are a fantastically well run, managed and owned club..

We have been a fantastically well run, managed and owned club since our takeover in 2008.

The red shits and their little brother, along with the media, SKY and TNT cannot and will not accept or acknowledge our achievements as they think we are cheats..

Well, listen up, CITY are not cheats, dispite already being hung drawn and quartered by all the twats who have their snouts firmly wedged in the red shirted trough.

It's been said before and I want to say it again, once we are cleared, no doubt we will be hit with a none cooperation charge though, I sincerely hope we go after each and every **** that has besmirched our name..

These twats have no respect for themselves or their positions within the media.

Driven by monetary greed, they'd sell their own grandmother rather than report facts, absolutely no respect for themselves..

What a despicable life these mugs must lead..

Please get them ruined City, it will be scant compensation for all the shit we have had to put up with over the years..!

Just trying to be realistic.

As I've said, I'd be amazed if there is anything incriminating in their official emails and correspondance.

Just as there is nothing incriminating in ours.

There is no way you can know there is nothing incriminating in their, or our emails mate.

You cannot make that assumption then use the phrase “being realistic”.

Going to have to agree to disagree and draw a line under it mate.

And if both outcomes are the same, as you say, then let’s hope the verdict in the press is the same for both.
If we don’t discover any element of wrong doing by the PL, then they are innocent in the eyes of the commission.
Well the same goes for us and the charges against us.
If there’s no evidence, we are innocent.

Let it be reported that way.

We won't get fair reporting in the press no matter what the outcome, on that I think everyone on here will agree?

I think it’s unlikely that old emails would have much impact on the outcome of the inquiry. More recent ones that indicated that the investigation leading to the charges was biased would.

But given this all started as a result of leaked emails, I would expect that both City and the Pl have tightened up on the protocols for sending emails.
 
Of course…that’s the gamble. One side gets caught in deception and they are in trouble. But Boris Johnson and his cronies managed to play the system well enough. I don’t think City will have much private correspondence.
As my auld granny used to say.

Oh what a tangled web we weave,
When first we start to deceive."

My thoughts are that there are so many differing clubs, people and organisations hell bent on cutting City off at the knees that there will be something. And Citys legal people will know what it is and where it is.
Or I could be wrong;-)

Agreed, but do you agree that whether your scenario comes true regarding nothing relative coming to light from either side, or as others are alluding to, that there may be something incriminating in the PL email trail. Either scenario should be beneficial to us.
The media won’t portray it that way, but it will be hard to deny that both sides should be treated equally by the same standards.

Or, the PL are shown to have behaved indefensibly.
 
Hitler gets a better write-up in the press than City does.
But there's no racism against Arabs or Muslims in the media. Of course there isn't. How could anyone think such a thing.
The media is run by cunts, for cunts.
The hypocrisy is staggering, even by British standards, which makes it Olympic gold level.
 
I think the club knows all too well who, and what clubs have been out to see our progress halted. I also believe that in order to make Pep continue (as he has) and be at ease with the whole situation that our club will have made him privvy to what evidence they have.

Of course, i may be wrong. But I just feel that if our owners etc were doing what they were accused of, then Pep surely would have walked a long time ago
