PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

They said the hacking scandal was time bared didn't they. If they are not using that with us we should be demanding that investigation is re opened.
But this is the PL, remember they did not lift a finger when Tabas etc were throwing shit our way. If it was a red top team I am sure they would have responded to an attack on one of its members
Think it was the FA rather than the Premier League who said no, nothing to see here about the Liverpool hacking
 
True, but how do you prove something didn't happen?

I totally believe in City. I don't think they would risk continuing down the same road with false accounting after all the hassle with UEFA, and I doubt the club would come out and make a matter-of-fact statement right at the very start of this process that they were completely innocent if they knew there was likely to be something in there that would stick. They would have said something like "we cannot make any further comment for legal reasons" or words to that effect.

Financial records. Open and shut really it either came from an Etihad bank account or an ADUG one. Or an email from Pearce at a later date telling someone the money wasn’t coming from ADUG, but Etihad.

The club didn’t supply that evidence though, they just let UEFA’s evidence fall short.
 
The media are loving the 100+ charges, like it nails us, “there’s 100+ charges, they must be guilty”. I take some comfort (rightly or wrongly) in there being so many, especially when so many are related to non-compliance. If you had a smoking gun that proved we were guilty of the worst accusations, would you be arsed about City telling you to fuck off in emails?
The 100 breaches thing is a red herring imo. If, say, the Etihad deal was being targeted, that would affect 5 or 6 articles in the PL rules each year of the review since it started. That's about 30-40 breaches all on its own. I am guessing there are probably 5 or 6 issues that repeat over several years and affect several articles in the rules.

Mancini seems to be one.
Players image rights another.
I suppose the same sponsorship funding issues at UEFA.
Not complying with UEFA is another one.
And
Not complying with PL another.

That's five, plus some others maybe.

100 is a big number, 5,6, or 7 not so much.

We will be OK I think ;)
 
Sickened they are using our club to peddle their own interests, cheered on by the media and our bent as fuck rivals (not good enough to beat us on the park) alongside their smooth brained fans.

They don't have anything tangible here at all, if even half these allegations were real it would be an issue for HMRC. There'd be criminal prosecutions. Seizing of assets. Interviews. More.

It's all a farce, a last roll of the dice to stop City and ensure the "top 6" get what they feel is due. And they've already accomplished what they set out to - they know this shit won't stick in court, not with a literal army of lawyers and a blank check against it, but they've yet again shifted the narrative on to City and created the illusion of long term instability for the club.

But then, we should be used to this, yeah? The media have been downplaying our achievements since we started achieving. Every last wanker associated with the Rags and the bin dipping Scousers has long since given up pretending like their shite clubs are good enough to beat us at actual football. The PL knows full well the weight of both and has been trying to sink us for years, you just have to watch our matches every week and it's the same fucking story. City vs 12 men.

No more. Bring down the drawbridges, fuck the media off from our ground and let's stop pretending any of our rivals aren't trying to knife us. When the rags shat the bed against the gooners a few weeks ago, predictably, I saw a few round here actually cheering on those twats from the Swamp. Enough.

CTID.
