PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[johnny crossan]

And presumably the hearing could stop anytime within the 10 week period if either side caves in. The CAS hearing lasted a few days when the judges laughed the UEFA evidence out of court.

CAS only lasted half an hour I heard.

At CAS, UEFA called an expert on financial investigations as a witness to give his conclusions and to counter City's own expert on financial investigations.

In the PL case, we don't know but I would imagine they will present someone from the investigation team, at least, to explain what they did and how they found what they think they found. City would, presumably like to counter that with either cross-examination, or by presenting their own experts' opinions.

Maybe Nick Harris can deliver one or two of his whistle-blowers from the club. Although, as we think they are probably @Prestwich_Blue and @slbsn , probably be better to forget that :)

Wait a minute, are you suggesting that collins and stefan are webb and clattenburg in disguise?

'Irrefutable evidence' is all I care about.

Please stop worrying about the likes of crafton,click bait articles such as the Athletic, and these club executives...

It's a smear campaign. Always has been amd always will be.
Where are HMRC? The police? If we have commited business fraud to the degree we are being accused of ?
Who audits our accounts? Posts them with companies house?? All these personnel would be in the dock.Berrada aswell.

It's all fucking hot air.

The allegations are all historic. Pre our 4 in a row so there is zero chance of titles being taken off us imo. Relax everyone. Enjoy summer.

See you at Chelsea on Sunday.

Apparently Crafton is US based. These latest leaks have come from a PL club director and former coach. There have been constant leaks to the New York Times and the Times. My money is on that, like the earlier leaks, they are connected to LFC. I understand Ratcliffe has distanced United from the ongoing dirty tricks campaign because he needs Government help and overseas investment for the stadium plans.

Damn, it's so obvious now.

There is speculation that the reason why we have been so active in the TM is that discussions between the PL and Chelsea ( to a degree this why I personally believe we will get a settlement offer as opposed to an IC) have centred around 3 potential sanctions. 1) Being a massive fine £10s of millions in effect the money still held by the current owners from the agreed sale 2) Up to a two year transfer ban 3) A points deduction either live or suspended.
To a degree I agree that fines may be a thing of the past if they are just for a few hundred K but a fine potentially up to a £100 million is a whole different proposition

I`m confident that if you are fined it will offset the loses that the PL will be paying to City. ;)

No it isn't. If the PL applies fines for breaches that lead to a sporting advantage and then deduct points from other clubs for the same thing, then they are in trouble. Very Chelsea to think just about money ......

There is the point. In an agreed settlement you agree such sanctions with the PL ( yes they have to be rubber stamped by a panel ) but at an IC the sanctions aren’t decided by the PL

8, 9 and 10 June 2020. So must have been ten minutes each day. That works :)

 

[Metal Biker]

So, to summarise the last 48 hours;

Media: Date of hearing finally announced.

Rivals: "You're fucked now City! You're fucked now City!"

Bluemoon: "What if actually we are fucked!?"

Am I reading that right?

:) I'm not buying it. The PL would be opening itself up to huge problems if it settled a breach that gave rise to a sporting advantage with a financial sanction when it lobbied the IC for sporting sanctions for Everton's and Forest's breaches. They could possibly do it, but I doubt they will. And if they do, they deserve everything they get.

Someone's going to need to summarise it for me here (i'm not trawling through 50-odd pages to get the gist.)

But what is with the sudden negativity on here? Usually this thread is about Robbie Fowler, "is it football or soccer?", sexiest Corrie character and the like. Now it's talk of points deductions, Fleetwood Town, Northern Premier League and lawsuits.

What the fuck has happened?

Nothing but just noise pollution . It’s called side effect of 4 in a row.
