PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[remember arthur mann]

Ooops - this is in danger of becoming an alternative scum thread - and I reconise that I am contributing to that - so last one of this type.

I was reading their thread and was taken by this 'specialist'

Here's us thinking that we are well served by Slbsn and Prestwich Blue - but the rags seem to have someone to trump them in specialist knowledge..................

  Their guilt is an inevitability at this stage. City have invested huge resources into delay tactics rather than fighting the claims. The timeline was posted earlier in this thread but essentially the hearing could have been completed over 3 years ago.
  
  Kicking the can down the road isn't the action of an entity believing they can defend their actions. Let's not forget this is a civil matter too. The EPL need to prove City probably broke their rules. They have to prove it is more likely, than not, the allegations occured.
  
  Once proven, I suspect City are in for a decade of legal issues. There are the criminal issues. False accounting (Section 17 Theft Act 1968) seems nailed on for the high level executives. Concealing criminal property (Section 327 POCA 2000) which is effectively money laundering. Then you have the fact this is effectively a complex fraud (resists making a Fraudiola reference). City have repeatedly made false representations from which they gained, and others were exposed to a risk of loss (Section 2 Fraud Act 2006). The most appropriate primacy for the investigation is likely the National Crime Agency (NCA) and Serious Fraud Office (SFO). That'll take a few years to unpick I suspect, a few convictions coming out of that. Custody threshold definitely passed when considering the societal importance of sport and the reputational damage to one of our biggest global exports.
  
  Then all the civil stuff will begin. Every time City have finished ahead of another team, they've cost each team ~£1m in finishing position prize money. Years they've won, that's £19m. Second, £18m, etc. 15 years of it going to be around £200m. Then you have teams being relegated because City were cheating to stay in the league. Then the teams losing out on Champions League, Europa League and Conference League football because of a cheating team finishing ahead. The sponsorship implications of those losses. City have probably cost other teams around £750-1bn in lost revenues, just on those factors alone.
  
  In short, I'd expect a couple of decent prison sentences for the coordinators of the conspiracy to defraud and financial ruin for City but likely playing out until 2035.

Fuck this guy seems such a ??????

Well I guess proper whopper covers it

But it does reflect just how many people are out there desperate for confirmation of our doom - they eat this shit up and regurgitate it

Bunch of cunts

A new lad turned up at work last week when he dound out i was a city fan started going on about 115.
I asked him what the 115 charges were started mumbling.Then said we are turning it into a farmers league.
Found out he is Arsenal so asked him when them and stretford rangers were dominating was it ok.
Asked him why arse,scum and chelsea have spent more than us why are they not winning.They dont want competition no matter what they say they just want the gravy train for themselves.Fuck the rest.All he could say they would not have charged u if it wasnt true.Made up rules to keep the cartel on top the thing they dont get is most of us were there in League 1 and will be again if it comes to that.I also said you better win it all if we are gone cos when we come back you wont be.Jealousy they wish it was thier club that had been invested in

Laxative is a fantastic welcome gesture .

I suspect he's going to be a little disappointed when the outcome of the IC is known.

Talking about prison sentences.
Wonder if the thicko has realised that if it came to that the first one in prison would be their new CEO

 

[Grassland Blue]

Done with football!

What they mean is “It’s not fair. I was under the impression that Utd / Liverpool or Arsenal would always be the top team

How can I support a team that doesn’t have a devine right to win?”

Not quite correct.
I think le arse would be content just to finish top 3 or 4th in that scenario.
