PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[eastmanc]

No we don’t… allegedly-:)


Don’t buy the opinion that you have to abide by protectionist rules. City today in its current form would be Newcastle or worse Everton.

The club had no choice but to sign up and to find ways around it.

To many City fans, their so called rules, seem to be one rule for one one rule for another. Where were these rules when Chelsea were spending their way to success, or when ushited and Liverpool spent what they liked in the nineties. The rules only came in when City got the money to challenge. But we got in too late for their rules to stop us so they have had to resort to what is happening now.

Some of the views of other clubs' fans about City and the charges remind me of this ...

Some people prefer the tactility and flexibility of paper, especially as it’s a known quantity and a medium they’ve operated with for many years. If those papers are ours then I guess Pannick will prefer operating that way, and like a chef with his knives he will want it ‘just so’ in his workplace, so he can perform to his best. It’s his case to run as he sees fit.

Things are more digitalised now, but it’s not obligatory upon the person conducting the case, although they will still need to use that platform more widely in the hearing, such as with witnesses.

Don’t think there’s any grandstanding, as it looks a bit daft and anachronistic imo.

Interesting cheers

"Digitalised"?

The Telegraph article is saying that we would be looking at being thrown out of the CL, Club World Cup as well as the domestic cups.

Blimey

And tea cups, the Telegraph has hated us since they moved into football, it is a desperate attempt to garner readers from a source they had little time for. Pay it no attention.

Shut down the hearing, the Dunney Monster says we’ve nothing to worry about

I love it that these idiots say well City can afford the best lawyers. So fucking what, do they expect City to hire Saul Goodman to defend us. Having good lawyers is not an admission of guilt.

Have you never seen an old clip of Paul Daniels doing a magic trick, this is pretty much the same just without the lovely Debbie McGee.

Yes and we have "tits out Jackie" as well.

Mistake or not, what the 2 ex City staff members did was known about by LFC and no action was taken against the 2 ex City staff members by LFC. People can make up their own minds about the way LFC acted.

Sporting director Michael Edwards and two former City employees, Julian Ward and Dave Fallows, were named in the subsequent settlement.

Julian Ward has returned to LFC and taken a position with Fenway Sports Group as technical director. This year.

Oh yeah it's shitty from Liverpool which is why they paid us a million quid. Just think we didn't pursue it as it kind of made us look bad aswell.

It's pre-empting the decision by suggesting we wouldn't have "got off" without the best lawyers and we are effectively guilty by default.

After the tribunal and the papal smoke announces our innocence it will be reported by everyone that we are pretty much guilty any way.

We are killing football by not curling up into a ball and accepting the turnip eating mob to kick the fucking shit out of us without raising an arm to fight back.

Let’s be honest. If City wanted to take the Scouse hacking further, they could have. City decided to settle out of court with a pay off. We’ll never know the reason why. The PL were happy with that. City could have absolutely slaughtered Henry and Liverpool in court. But City decided not to do that. Yet all along Henry and Liverpool have been behind the constant and under handed smear campaign and attacks against City. Very strange decision by City.

And probably still lost the PR war. Which is why I reckon they settled
