PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[Pingu the Penguin]

Not sure how that’s a comparable? Fallon was investigated by the police not the jockey club.

Fallon was suspended by the horse racing authority due to a criminal matter.

Their rules precluded appeals to the administrative court.

Fallon challenged this and given the gravity of the HRAs decision for him he was in fact allowed to appeal to the high court.

He lost that appeal on the facts but the precedent is that regardless of what sports authorities say about higher appeals the facts can give rise to them.


Fallon was represented by………Pannick

Having followed the Pinto trial I am certain City were collateral damage. The motive was money and it was a fishing exercise involving hundreds of millions of data files. I would still like to know why Der Spiegl targeted us though, I have heard rumours about Bayern which would make sense.

DS have had some beef with Bayern in the past, so it's either very unlikely or, a kiss and make up

Right but that’s on grounds of process, which we’ve already gone to court about too. We can do that. We can’t appeal the judgment and get the whole thing reheard elsewhere was the point.

Sorry Stefan but I strongly object to a word you used. They are NOT Twitterers. The correct spelling should read TWATTERERS.
Keep up the good work mate. ;)

Or I’ll accept Rags & Dippers…

Stubborn, cheeky twats .https://x.com/SkySportsPL/status/1834559015071682566?t=80fJV4XVuU28iD_58kmv6A&s=19View attachment 131586

Even that has been framed wrongly. The answer Pep gave was to “are the players talking about the charges?”

If a football governing body constituted tribunal does us for major fraud we certainly will

I’ve yet to hear from a single rag or dipper, what exactly City are guilty of? Fuck ‘em, I’m loving this.

Absolutely. The accusations are so serious the police and HMRC would have to be involved by now. My guess is it'll probably just come down to the non-co'operation thing which like beauty is very much in the eye of the beholder. I imagine our defence will be that we submitted our audited books and payed our taxes so the fa can fuck off. At 5k and hour I imagine lord P will put it more eloquently though.

I imagine so, I don’t see any of it as constituting fraud though, have to wait and see but any fraudulent activity they’re alleging would surely potentially be at the sponsors rather than us.

It’s also in part why UEFA were always going to struggle to argue their case at CAS.
