PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[Colin Bell (genuine name)]

Imagine you were a journalist looking to distinguish yourself from the herd and make a name for yourself.

Wouldn't you think that exploring the possibility that City are just the victim of a witch-hunt and completely innocent would be worth an article?

Wouldn't it also be worth exploring the effect of such an outcome on the PL?

Maybe Martin Samuel will write something in his next column.

City are now entering their 14th consecutive season in the Champions league. During that time utd have qualified 9 times, Liverpool and Arsenal will be 8 times, Chelsea 10 and Spurs 5 times.

City have also won 17 domestic trophies, not including Charity Shield, since our FA cup win in 2011. The rest of the so called top 6 have only managed 19 domestic trophies between them. Chelsea, Liverpool and utd with 5 each, Arsenal with 4 and Spurs with fuck all.

As long as the MSM and other fans are able to console themselves that we must have cheated then there can be no other reason for our lengthy period of sustained success.

Not much mention of the trophies won under Pep post 2018 which are outside the period of time that the alleged charges are contained within.

It’s an awful lot of money and trophies that City have prevented the others from sharing.

The bit that I am really curious about is our "Irrifutable evidence".

Given that the case is set aside to last for 10-12 weeks what would happen if we present this evidence at the start of the process and the investigators agree that we are right. If this suddenly wiped 50% of the charges away then surely the whole process time is drastically reduced.

Will be interesting how this works out.

The irrefutable evidence is largely the audited accounts which show no such payments as alleged. Our team will probably have to go through each charge and map it to our accounts line by line. A long job.

All the others have spent more & been unable to replicate it even with their history, DNA, heritage…..

They each don't have the £250m fine they would have to pay to leave.

And even if they did try, it would only evidence to the rest of the country they had been the puppeteers of this entire City farce.

You're assuming the rest of the country would be intelligent enough to work that out. I've seen no evidence of it these last few years! ;0)

Awwwww, please don't ban me. Pretty please. ;-) ;-)

Don’t worry Eccles. You can rely on the Eccles Act 1995.
1. Eccles shall be the fount of all wisdom.
2. No banning of the doyenne of Bluemoon shall be enacted.

If the mods try anything, Pannick KC has no commitments at the mo.

I believe that part of the issue is that when utd have submitted their accounts, detailing these exceptional extra over costs, the PL have decided not to investigate. Ie they have just taken Utds word for it. Where as with Everton, Forest and Leicester they decided to investigate. Perhaps someone could confirm that??

Doubt it Clubs have to submit accounts by a deadline and do a self assessment I doubt that this isn't looked at by the PL and the justification for the losses accessed for validity
