PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[Kippax77]

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?

What about alcoholism?
We've had that much success I've become an alcy.
Surely I can sue

I was going to try and explain it to you but then I thought fuck it, if you doesn't realise the effect supporting a club has on some people it's probably not worth my effort.

I don't see what this has to do with anything. Whatever the effect of supporting a club has on you, the suggestion that you can sue the Premier League for those feelings is still ridiculous.

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………

You mean Starburst you old codger

You’re not going to find many experienced sports lawyers who aren’t fans of the biggest sport in the country.

Who will be paying their fees?

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.

My man.

They should put a warning label on the broadcasts:

Watching these games and refereeing performances can be hazardous to the health of City fans.

Every sordid extra marital affair, every brown envelope bung, every drunken dalliance, every tap up, every once assumed private old boys and media conversation etc. are in our "arsenal". Going to be a very interesting few months as the whole house of shit could come crashing down now. They've really opened the can now and will regret it. Will be a few nervous protagonists right now.
Going to get a lot of popcorn in and watch the car crash and/or the hilarious backtracking.

If this independent panel is going to be held with integrity as they say….can we have 3 city fans on it?
