PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

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.
8. Arsenal several years ago authored a round robin urging the PL to enforce their rules against us.
9. The PL Commission will be chaired by a man with strong Arsenal connections.
10. Our chairman maintains that this is a conspiracy “clear and organised” and that we will refute all allegations.
11. Many of the PL’s charges are based on non compliance with UEFA rules of which we have already been cleared. Are we to be retried for the same offences?
In the light of all this, and many other factors, we prefer to believe our club rather than a set of self serving wankers.
12. CAS ruled that the charge that our accounts were not a true and fair picture was fantasy, requiring a very wide conspiracy of hundreds of people who all kept quiet.
It’s posts like this that makes it impossible to skip forward a few pages
 
ADUG, the owner of Manchester City, did provide money for Etihad to pay their sponsorship.

The problem for UEFA is that's not inflating the value of the sponsorship, which is what they accused City of.
No they didn't. I think you've got mixed up. The Abu Dhabi Executive Council did provide money to Etihad to cover most of the sponsorship. Had ADUG been shown to provide money to Etihad then we'd have probably been found guilty of disguised equity investment.
 
Question btw. Is this independent commission supposed to come up with the penalties if any charges are upheld? How does that work?
 
Khaldoon is one of the brightest, substantial men on the planet.

One of HH Sheikh Mansour’s closest and most trusted advisers.

He has access to to Kings, Heads of State, Royal Families, Ambassadors,Banks, Financiers and elite businessmen globally.

His integrity and reputation is beyond question and he won’t have risked a lifetime of credit to cook City’s books.

“ Clear & Obvious - Once and for all”
exactly.
not a chance in hell that anyone with their enormous global financial reputation would take such a stupid risk.

it's ludicrous to even consider that, after deciding to invest billions in man city, they would choose to diddle a few million on the side.


the only thing that we will get fucked for is the length of the grass.
 
I swear they were the cause of the cardiac arrest that killed my dad, so count me in this class action.
I am suing Pep for making me despair at his CL final selection, I am suing whoever chose that Opal fruits strip, I am suing Pearce for half a season with no goals, I am suing Fowler for missing that pen, I am suing big Mal for breaking up a decent side and replacing it with Barry Conlon etc………
