PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[slbsn]

They must have been aware of Fordham as UEFA spoke to us about it in 2014 or 2015. As the PL act as the FFP licensor, they were surely either involved or at least aware of these discussions. And Fordham was visibly linked to City, specifically the Manchester City Sports Image Rights company, on the Companies House website. It's inconceivable that the Der Spiegel articles were the first they'd heard about Fordham.

I'd have thought if we could show that the PL were acting under pressure from certain clubs, following the pretty definitive CAS outcome, that would have some impact on our case and that it was potentially vexatious rather than principled.

That has always been my impression to but who really knows.

Shouldn't have been in the club's books but don't know if it is legitimate or not. Assume Gill said it's fine.

Sorry slbsn ive had to take it on myself correct you're words ;)

History is littered with examples. Nazi Germany, Poll Tax, Window Tax. Everyone at work signed a document saying they’d adhere to a dress code. Guess what. Monarchies, Governments, Board Rooms make stupid rules and they get broken and or quickly forgotten.

In addition the vast majority of laws are never enforced either because of a lack or resources or political will. The police are ruthlessly selective in the cases they pursue. More than 90 per cent of fraud allegations are not even investigated for example. Only one person has ever been convicted of smoking in a car with a child in it. A lot of legislation is introduced with a fanfare then nothing happens.

You really are talking shit now.

Rag or dipper?

Disgraceful slur. I’ll have you know that @Stoned Rose is nearly as big a blue as me.

Question for the legal experts
Is there a world in which this hearing could just collapse due to lack of legitimate evidence?
Or do they have to hear everyone out and conclude at the end?

Nah.

He’s lost some weight.

Fuck being on that panel. Imagine having to sift through years of boring legal claptrap. Still they're well paid for it I guess.

A lot of opposition fans want to be ignorant. They don’t want to invest in any time at all to even understand the rudimentaries of this case leave alone the minutiae.
The mentally challenged think it’s suffice to just post what they think should be the punishment.
The Social media age is all about instant gratification. No thought, no analysis no debate. It is the Burger King of communication, thought, analysis and decision making.
Sometimes I fear for the future generations.

not really. Closest to that is some proposal to settle on very favourable terms. All unlikely at this stage
