PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

Precisely, and without new and irrefutable evidence re Etihad, the PL have totally disregarded the CAS ruling. Apart from bat shit crazy Haas, the ruling was emphatic, stating eleven times there was no evidence that HHSM paid the Etihad sponsorship fees. This issue is the basis of the false accounting charges, ie the most egregious charges. So what in God's name do the PL have that proves all those witnesses lied under oath, the transactional evidence was forged and the respective accountants, auditors and executives were all complicit. I can not wait.
Reading Stefans post regarding the witnesses City used, you start to understand the mountain the prem have to climb.
 
Leicester City welcomes the Appeal Board’s comprehensive decision, which supports our consistently stated position that any action against the Club should be pursued in accordance with the applicable rules.

To avoid any misunderstandings which may arise in light of the statement which has been issued by the Premier League in response to the appeal decision, Leicester City wishes to emphasise the finding of the Appeal Panel that, when considering the wording which is actually used in the Premier League rules (in accordance with established principles of English law) the Club did not breach the Premier League PSRs for the assessment period ending 30 June 2023.

In its decision, the Appeal Board (which was made of up a panel of three experienced, senior lawyers, two of whom are former Court of Appeal judges) identifies flaws in the drafting of the Premier League’s rules. In challenging the Premier League’s attempts to charge Leicester City, the Club has simply sought to ensure (in the interests of providing consistency and certainty for all clubs) that the rules are applied based on how they are actually written.
