PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[spinney]

As the panel isn’t due to start its deliberations until November this could only be talk between the lawyers surely? Sounds like a first shot at offering a deal which City would presumably reject out of hand if any points deduction was involved

But that was what happened with the CAS verdict but the PL still decided to bring their own action knowing the CAS result

 

[mayo31]

Non cooperation should not result in any points deduction

Only a guilty verdict should result in any punishment

 

[I'm Blue]

I'd be shocked if City accepted any sort of deal if we are as innocent as they say.
This isn't the UEFA case, where if found guilty we'd have missed out on playing in the CL for a few seasons.
Make no mistake the PL and our rivals are trying to ruin us with these charges.
They don't just want us relegated, they want us out of football altogether.
They give zero fucks about City, the staff that will lose their jobs or our fans.
If any deal is proposed and we have irrefutable evidence to counter that then any offered deal should be answered with "fuck you'

 

[city2]

Why should we give the premium league a get out and more importantly the red cartel who have been the main reasons for this witch-hunt

 

[denislawsbackheel]

Can't see City going with that personally.

We have done nothing wrong but here's £30million to get the PL out of a hole ?

Quite.
We aren’t Prince Andrew after all.

Even being found guilty the smallest most inconsequential charges that result in a fine will be bad news for us as a club because the suspicion will still hang over us and we will be forever accused of cheating.
Unless we a cleared fully we will have a shadow hanging over us in the minds of the average fan who doesn’t tend to delve any deeper than what the red tops, Sky and Talkshit tell them.

True but the thing that pisses me of is if every club was investigated as long as City ever club would be found guilty of something.

I'm surprised that you think the actual verdict will make any difference to what the "average fan who doesn’t tend to delve any deeper than what the red tops, Sky and Talkshit tell them." thinks.

In their eyes, anything other than a guilty verdict followed by a public lynching will have been achieved only with the help of sufficiently stuffed brown envelopes

 

[JASR]

In their eyes, anything other than a guilty verdict followed by a public lynching will have been achieved only with the help of sufficiently stuffed brown envelopes

We've got brown envelopes at home
We've got brown envelopes away
We'll never get done for anything
City are gonna win everything
