PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[feedmpenzaandhewillscore]

Just want to throw this one out there.

Over the past few days I have read numerous posts saying “I couldn’t sleep last night…..” etc so just wondering if ‘when’ City are exonerated could fans go after the Premier League for causing unecessary personal stress and anxiety?

Just curious, can any legal experts out there answer this?

If we were measuring anxiety and stress for a class action, we could have been going after Peter Swales’ estate a long time ago.

I know bugger all about club accounts and the complexities of the charges and the ramifications of a guilty/not guilty scenario.

I have a hunch though, that we will suffer not through a swift and decisive verdict of guilty as charged leading to, as most of the media hope, relegation and trophy stripping etc.

I do not believe there is enough undisputable evidence and I think the pl and "backers" of these charges know this.

What they want us to suffer is a long and drawn out legal process lasting years without any form of closure, and all this time any reporting of City will be suffixed with phrases relating to cheating, accused, charged, ffp, financial breaches etc.

What potential world class manager/players would want that.

This will damage the club no doubt, and that is the goal of our adversaries, a years long hate fuelled media campaign where anything we do or win is rubbished and challenged amid accusations of wrong doing.

There are shithouses making a living from rubbishing City now, and that will only get worse.

I am talking of worse than we have endured yet, and that is more damaging than any fine or points deduction if it takes five or ten years to eventually clear our name.

The damage will be done, and even then they will just claim "technicalities" for our legal victory as they did with the CAS hearing.

I sincerely hope that we have the legal means to properly fck anyone who defames our club before a verdict is reached, and then fck our detractors if said verdict is favorable.

I can take the "banter" personally and had joked about barrow away with other clubs fans prior to the CAS debacle, we, as fans have to "get on with it" although this latest attempt does feels like a kick in the teeth.

Just feels like we have no friends now.......and there is sill a long way to go.

If we’re found guilty, would you want to sue Mansour for the same thing…?

Thanks for popping in.

He/She/They obviously popped in from Holier Than Thou Athletic - somebody somewhere from another club come on here and say they know that their club is an absolute paragon of virtue and has never crossed the line - otherwise shut up and get back in your glass house, oh and put the stone down.

Tell you what though. It's never ever boring at our club

Reason is, we have been here before. We know the form.
1. UEFA investigatory chamber found us guilty but CAS, inter alia, said “City cannot hope to get a fair hearing while M.Leterme is in the chair”
He stayed in the chair. He was an ex director of Bayern, one of our accusers.
2. UEFA’s evidence consisted of Der Spiegel‘s version of some emails. Those mails were shown to have been manipulated by Der Spiegel. In any case, emails are evidence of a conversation but not of the action alleged. If I email you saying I am having an affair with Suzie Dent, that is not evidence that I am doing so. UEFA were warned in advance, but they carried on. Many of the PL’s charges are based on these emails, plus an extra one already shown to be forged.
3. UEFA’s attempt to recreate our accounts was done by a serving director of ManU.
4. The investigatory chamber included Rick Parry ex CEO of Liverpool, with still strong connections there. His long term contact proceeded to report confidential info in the New York Times. UEFA promised an Enquiry but never did it.
5. Ceferin, secretary general if UEFA tried twice to do a deal: pay a fine for non co-operation and we will drop the charges. He was told to do one.
6. The directors of Liverpool and MU have a nickname for CFG’s chief exec….the terrorist.
7. Liverpool sent a round robin to UEFA, signed by nine clubs, saying we should be banned before due process was complete.

*drops the mic

Seriously the crux of the matter here is that they want to make an example out of us, they always have because Liverpool, Man United and some big European teams can't accept that they don't have an elitist secret handshake club anymore. If anything they have become more determined to hit someone hard because of Newcastle's recent takeover and the fact that they are in the ascendancy as well. Probably a racist element to it all as well.

Can we replay the Champions League final???

But you'd surely think (and I'm only guessing) that they wouldn't hold back on anything else more serious? What would be the point in that? Sorry, I'm just trying to get my head around the prospect of Der Spiegel being the 'smoking gun' for this PL charge with additional stuff to what was already put out and used by uefa.

Just a thought if they judge the club to be guilty,surely it must also impact the women’s team,the academy,the eds teams as they’re all mcfc

Can I sue the club for giving me high blood pressure against QPR and Villa too?

When you think about the tired greedy old men in the FA and their spineless lackeys who only arselick the rags and scousers, pitted against a slick international businessman like Khaldoon, with his connections way beyond football, there really can only be one winner. The FA are like a local working men’s’ club trying to take on Microsoft.

I don’t even trust the PL’s competence to orchestrate all these charges and get them all right, let alone their intentions behind them.

Like you say, it is chalk and cheese comparing the professionalism of the CFG with that of the Premier League
