PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[Stoned Rose]

It seems the media climb down is in sync with your thought process. It’s gone from expulsion and title stripping to small points deduction. I’m not sure the media expected or the PL for that matter such a bullish response and subsequent even more bullish leaks from the club..

Could you point me to the leaks pls mate? The thread is too big for me to go hunting sorry.

I went to a cracking away game at Walsall in the late 80's. City went 2-0 down, keeper went off injured 1st half with Gleghorn playing in nets the rest of the match. City manged to get in front 3-2, only to let a goal in at the end from a bad back pass. The inflatable bananas in the away end when the 3rd goal went in!

Great days but I’d sooner not go back to them

20 points appears to be the maximum allowed so we would be better off nit happening this season and its iver and done with

The UEFA case had certain issues 'time barred, also the illegally obtained evidence like hacked emails were inadmissible. This won't be the case with the PL case.

Nor correct. The emails were admissible but CAS dismissed their evidentiary value. Emails are evidence of a conversation not the substantive action alleged.
Two issues were time barred. On one CAS took the unusual step of commenting, saying:
”There is no evidence that the alleged behaviour continued after the introduction of ffp.”
On the other, our defence would have been that our accounts gave a true and fair picture, which was accepted by CAS as a defence to many of the other charges.

As a fan of another team, I find this very interesting. But what strikes me after reading a lot of this thread is that there's a lot of blame-game going on here. I've read a lot of blame towards other clubs, the FA and PL, but very few, if any, are talking about the real case and the substance in the accusations. If there's done something wrong, which the enquiry will find out, surely there has to be consequences?

Fleksnes = Norway = Liverpool presumably. Nuff said?

It’s an embarrassing mistake but not sure it’s as bad as you’re making out.

Some intern has gotten the years that the rule book changed wrong. In 2012 the laws moved around so the old rule C became rule E

E11 in 2011/12 is entering the Fa cup and in 2012/13 onwards its submitting accounts and they’ve mislabelled it.

The 12/13 book even has a little column telling you what the old rule was - I bet they never realised how important that would be!

Not sure it will get us off, but I do think it will impact how the more diligent journalists like Kieran Maguire view the competency of the PL legal team.

in my opinion it makes them look incompetent and feeds into the idea that it was rushed through for this independent regulator. Theyve had 4 years to make sure its watertight and correct

Unfortunately one of the by products of this shit show is that, unless its been resolved, which is highly unlikely, no player in their right mind will join us.

Re arrange these words- off fuck

People keep say a points deduction. Personally I hope we are 100% innocent and we screw the bastards

They'd be breaking down the door, rummaging through cupboards and seizing laptops.

If they were going to do that, surely they'd have done it after the CAS decision, when the same information was available?
