PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[mrbelfry]

So would it be accurate to say CAS decided (estimated) that the €10 million fine was for non-cooperation?

yes - at least that's my understanding of it. happy to be corrected if that's not the case

It is, lots of misinformed people out there will put money on relegation this season the bookies will cover themselves. Even if found guilty towards the end of this season the most likely outcome would be a point deduction for next season not this,they wouldn't want to invalidate all this seasons results.

Not sure that would be the outcome if we were found guilty (which I don’t expect us to be).

In Italy Juventus had their title stripped but it was left vacant. They then had an effective points deduction that relegated them inter-season. Other clubs tried to sue them but as the results were never made null and void nor were league places changed they all failed.

Given the PL and EFL are different competitions the PL can (surely?) only deduct points relevant to the PL, this talk we see of relegation to league 2 or whatever doesn’t appear feasible.

Of course if they decide to exclude us then that would be a different kettle of fish, and the results would not stand and we’d have to start again (akin to Rangers when they went bust).

And therein lays the problem. They think by not acknowledging our success it will keep us down.

This biggest club is a no win claim anyway. How do you measure the definition? Past success only? Current success and current failure is not included? Let’s just all stay in a 90s time warp.

As of 2024 City are one of the big clubs in the game due to winning a shit load of trophies. We can’t take a fart without it becoming a social media obsession.

So although the enemy think they are putting us in our place they are actually aiding our rise.

My point being, we've emulated all their achievements, hence the self proclaimed biggest club in the world.

CAS found in favour of UEFA's CFCB on a number of procedural issues but the only substantive charge they found proven against us was for non-cooperation. So while the CAS verdict doesn't explicitly link the €10m fine to that charge, it's safe to assume that's what it was for.

Emulated and surpassed.

Gary Neville questioned the reason behind Manchester City's quiet summer transfer window (Image: YouTube)
Gary Neville questioned whether Manchester City's impending hearing into their 115 alleged breaches of Premier League rules is behind their uneventful transfer window. Pep Guardiola's side have made just one signing this summer on the back of their record fourth Premier League triumph, with Brazilian winger Savinho arriving in a £21million deal from Ligue 1 side Troyes.
Despite the departures of Sergio Gomez and Julian Alvarez, with the latter leaving Manchester in a £82m deal to join Atletico Madrid, City have yet to replace the Argentine who scored 19 goals in 54 games for the club last season and proved to play a vital role alongside Erling Haaland.

You could have avoided that by giving up City.

My health improved considerable after 1999. ;)

Rag wanker said: "Last night it was announced that Manchester City's hearing will start in four weeks. I wonder if they're not signing anybody on purpose, thinking they might get the book thrown at them.

"If they think they're going to get found guilty, and something ridiculous happens, they get relegated or deducted 20 points, they might think what is the point of signing players now. They got £82million for Alvarez, and they might just see what happens."

So that’s it lads, pack up. The red cunts have somehow found the evidence that dosent exist to punish the club even before the tribunal has started.

Take a bow Rato. Mastermind has spoken.

Live on sly sports:

who was you talking to ? Masters by any chance because he's already said city will appeal so he thinks guilty before trial starts

We weren't fined £30m by UEFA for non-cooperation. It was a £30m fine for all the charges which CAS reduced to £10m as UEFA didnt specify how much of the fine was for the non-cooperation

Only thees.
