PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[TheGhost]

They do now but that is only based upon what is released. They only started to release their accounts in recent years in response to US pressure on anti-competition grounds, none of them are audited properly.

Are you a Pan Am fan?

Great article that my friend; I just which you’d emphasised the fact that the time limits are as much a part of the PL rules as the rules we have been accused of breaking. Arguably more so, as they supervene them eventually.

The press talk about the time limits as if they are a legal loophole. They are not. They are a key, core rule and understood by all parties at the outset.

Anyone who considers them as a legal loophole is a know nowt ****.

That's a very good point. People say "You signed up to the rules" and a limitation period is one of those rules. I've also made the point previously that it's completely fanciful to imagine back in 2010 that City thought "You know, we're probably going to get done for this stuff in a few years time so let's do all the dodgy stuff early, as it'll probably be time-barred when we are".

I bet they’ve tried.

They must have spoken to all the candidates who turned the job down. Some of them may have spoken. Dinnage may have signed an NDA. I suspect the recruitment process for Masters goes to the heart of this whole saga. City must have checked this out.

It it never occurred to the MUEN why no one reads their shitty paper anymore. I can’t think of a local paper that is so anti one of their local teams. They are a disgrace.

It's not a local paper but the Manchester edition of the Mirror. They barely have any of their own staff so the content is a mix of soap gossip, national news and local news from other Reach regional outlets such as the Liverpool Echo with barely any genuine Greater Manchester content. Weekends are the same every time with articles like The Secret Village An Hour From Manchester all pre selected to go out at certain times.

There is no money in it as advertising has collapsed so it's an industry declining to zero at a breakneck speed.

Andy gray said hes been told were going to get a points deduction that would make it impossible to survive relegation

I skim read that shitty F365 article and I don’t recall Andy Gray saying he’d been told anything by anybody. He just gave his own opinion - that opinion being that he thinks we will be found guilty of at least some of the charges and that that would surely lead to a points deduction. I wouldn’t lose any sleep over it tbh.

Work around and not the spirt of the rules just means within the rules but not what people want you to do

Exactly

Proof today how much power our club has. They have arranged for Oasis to reunite in July so that they can announce & celebrate our successful outcome against the PL

What a way to make a huge publicity campaign without the club actually being “involved”

According to the Goons on the cafe we’ll have just followed her home……

Todd Boehly & Scruffy Jim say hi & we’re doing our dodgy stuff early ;)

Posted my third and final piece on the charges here: https://kingofthekippax.substack.com/p/manchester-citys-pl-charges-part-d7d?r=iaf2s

Colin, is it possible that the PL actually agree with your view of time barring and see that as their get-out. Where they can say to all their red backers we did our best but.....
Also their primary objective of dragging our name through the mud would have been achieved.
