PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

We hired Pannick back in 2020 against UEFA.

He was only on £20,000 a day then. His fee has gone up by £60,000 a day since then.(according to the Daily United) Lol!

Manchester City have hired the lawyer who helped block Brexit twice as the Premier League champions look to overturn their two-year ban from European football, according to The Mirror.

David Pannick QC is recognised as one of the UK's top lawyers and has been drafted in by City to lead their legal battle against UEFA following the decision earlier this month.

City chiefs will be hoping he can use his legal expertise to help the club out of trouble having been handed a heavy punishment by UEFA. The club has shelled out £20,000 a day to cover Mr Pinnock's legal costs.

This is brilliant. I'm writing my next missive for KOTK so have been going through the rule books to see exactly what we've been charged with, and it's clear the Pl have fucked it up big time. For example, in 2011/12, they've charged us with a breach of Rule E11. That rule in the 2011/12 Pl Handbook says "Each club shall enter the FA Cup".

I've looked at a few others and it's a similar story. They've seemingly charged us against another rule which says that, except for televised games, all PL games will be played on Saturdays at 3pm.

It's an absolute fuck up.

It looks like they’ve used the current season’s PL handbook as in there E.11 is about reporting of financial information. In fact, that must be the case because they’ve referred us for the same breach every season even though the references in the handbook have changed over time.

I’m not sure how this stuff works but surely they have to indicate each breach of the ruleset that was in place at the time of the breach? The wording may have changed since then… we can’t breach rule E.11 of the 2023 handbook in 2012 unless they’re claiming we could bend the 4th dimension to know what the rule would be ten years hence.

It seems quite obvious that this is some kind of administrative error unless I just don’t understand the process. That being said I’m guessing it won’t change anything other than making them look incompetent.

Which makes winning every title and trophy all the more sweeter.

I don't need validation from other clubs' fans to gain appreciation or acknowledgment from the clubs achievements.

They all shit in the same pot mate!

It's an ego game for these people, Lord Pannick will probably luncheon with Rosen every other week and both won't hesitate to pull the trigger on each other.

Paul Harris was the real star last time out. A phenomenal job.

Dream team pairing.

Probably helps that Paul is a proper blue too!
