PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[waspish]

'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.

What I worry about is the narrative of our club for the last 10+ years and all lawyers have a team! All they have to think is that the people who are given evidence are lying if they think that they can vote against us

Former coach? Not some German bloke who worked for a club at the other end of the East Lancs Road per chance? Having said that, Klopp has often flip-flopped on this issue. We had his disgraceful "Bad day for football" comment when we were cleared at CAS yet at the end last season he also said regardless of what happens, no manager other than Pep could've won 4 PL titles in a row with us.

As for Ratcliffe, it could also be that he has some kind of working relationship with the people who run our club that pre-dates his involvement with United and that he knows we've done nothing wrong. United fans certainly don't like to be reminded of his gushing comments towards us a few months ago!

Ratcliffe knows Khaldoon personally. He also knows that Khaldoon, as well as being City Chairman, is CEO of the main Abu Dhabi sovereign wealth fund and is always looking for investment opportunities.

Please excuse my ignorance on this 115 charges. I've kept up with the threads since Feb23, and read the reasoned arguments of why we are/ are not guilty and recently have become very sanguine about it, feeling its a witch hunt and City, will eventually be exonerated - similarly to the CAS judgement, but as the smear campaign from vested interest Red Cartel clubs and their various media shills, the damage has been done.

OK so I know we are 4 hours away from the new PL campaign opener (* PL guaranteed Rags win, they are back.....) but why has the narrative suddenly reverted- even on here to City are guilty again?? What's changed? Can someone please briefly enlighten me, I'd be grateful.

The inevitable but sad point in all this that despite the holier than though comments from a lot of other clubs officials and supporters must clubs have bent or ignored rules I would imagine that most clubs are a whistleblower away from charges.

I go back to the issues that we have supposedly self reported ( we don’t know exactly what they are ) and the data leaks many of the listed issues are to a degree interpretation of an email, a bank transaction or an opinion. On the face of it many are obvious but as has been said on here on many occasions the evidence has to cogent and case proved by the PL there almost certainly will be a void by the PL not being able to access RAs records or indeed get his side of the story.

As I said I just get the feeling that Masters is setting the scene for something and yes I feel be there charges, no charges a settlement or whatever it will be resolved way before the outcome of yours is announced

So Everton get points deduction for a bit of overspending but Chelsea get fined for potentially massive off the books payments to players and agents directly leading to the capture of players like hazzard who win them trophies and are sold to Real Madrid for how much ?

It does somewhat!! Ta. I'm probably very stupid, but until this week I was fairly relaxed about it, although admit to annoyance at that shyster Pougatch just casually (like hell it was) reminding the ITV audience/ EVERYONE just prior to the FA charity shield. Has it ramped up again since then - have Masters and Neville been spouting this week as well - hence the worry resurfacing? ( btw asking as am out of loop with media atm due to family illness). X

Thing is, the 'evidence' in the Chelsea case is every bit as damning as the evidence in our case, yet the Pl spent 4 years investigating us before making their allegations, yet you're confident Chelsea's case will not only be investigated but concluded before ours is?

The usual fannies who shit themselves at every Twitter rumour have been on top form.

That’s it.

It's being ramped up because the hearing is to be heard in September and not November now (it was always going to be autumn) and lots take this as a sign we must be guilty.
Don't go anywhere near the coverage of the rags game tonight.
The programme starts a full 90 minutes before k/o and with 'punditry from Neville Carragher and Keane so you just know these minutes will be used to lay it on thick about the hearing.
Hope the family illness improves.
Take care
