PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[Looby blue]

I feel sick to the pit of my stomach this feels different to the UEFA charges, I think all our worst nightmares are finally coming true.

 

[skillman]

Possibly, or we’ve done wrong?

Definitely. If we have then we deserved to be punished for it.

But I’m not having that the other 19 clubs - more due to relegations and promotions in the 9-year period - are squeaky clean. Come after us? Fine. But be fair and check everybody else too and apply the same rulings.

They are huge businesses and not a chance even 1 of them hasn’t been ‘clever’ with their accounting.

Not sure I want that.

Will get pelters for this but I want the club to accept wrongdoing, make some changes to the hierarchy and commit to running the club honestly from here on out. We can't keep doing this every few years.

End of the day, I'd rather a club I can feel proud to support.

We are run as honestly as any other club, this racially imotive bull shit stirred and implemented by those clubs frightened of competition for previously stiched up revenue

When we get chucked down the leagues, at least we might get Danny Tiatto back and have a left back.

Tiatto always reminds me of that stunner he scored against Boro away after running near the length of the pitch or whatever then to be ruled out for offside...We were even screwed back then ffs

Now that is a worry.

[jaiguruKun]

they would have to expunge City's playing records in the seasons in question

No they wouldn't.

 

[There is a Light]

Ffs it’s not like they can take them lightly is it, there’s 100 on the charge sheet!

Apparently the PL have confirmed that the Panel hearing the evidence will be John Aldridge, Miguel Dellaney, and Richard Keys so we are guaranteed a fair hearing :)

In all seriousness, this could get tasty. I guess the PL hope something will stick, but a lot of the allegations have been aired and in some cases tried already, so there are bound to be abuse of process arguments. I guess they will want some to stick and then it's up to us as to whether we are prepared to take a "pinch" again. If not, off to the high court and all the books get thrown open.....including the PL's......

This case won't be decided by the 'independent' tribual, it'll be in the High Court on appeal after we've been found guilty. My concern is that will have much less scope to interfere with the tribunal's decision than CAS did. All very very concerning.

It will go all the way to the Supreme Court if necessary. City could blow the PL away
