PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[ayrshire_blue]

What would be the point of settling in that instance? They more than likely offered the "low" settlement as a way of the PL saving face and ending the whole farce they'd forced upon themselves, thinking City were soft targets and would happily accept just to get it over with.

But our owners have integrity and this is their reputation being slandered, so no surprise we said no to any "offer" they proposed. That makes more sense to me.

Sorry no, my initial understanding (which I've been put right on and realise likely isn't the case) was a hopeful one that the PL, perhaps for reasons of sketchy evidence and huge financial costs to them in running the case, would drop the fraud/concealment and thus exonerate the club of these serious charges in exchange for settlement of less serious stuff which would carry a lower penalty, in this case 6 points and a fine.

Understand now that's likely not the case so happy to move on, but that was my initial take on PB's post.

PDFs etc.. on a laptop or other device, rather than on paper.

Isn't that "digitised"?

Never mind. Stupid, pedantic point and probably wrong anyway :)

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.

The not changing passwords thing made us look a bit stupid?

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

It wouldn’t surprise me in the slightest for them to try.
It become apparent very early on that everyone doesn’t just want us punished, they want us gone, permanently!
FFP/PSR is supposed to protect clubs from going out of business.
Well that’s what they told us, right?
So I have to ask..
WHERE THE FUCK IS OUR PROTECTION?

Maybe stupid is too strong a word but it would be good practice to ensure ex-employees can no longer access sensitive information when no longer employed by the club.

liverpool do have something to do with our panel, when a lawyer tries to prove his reasoning, he generally uses case studies, to prove procedure. In our charges there are 35 counts of noncooperation, this will be a result of the type of investigation we had, as far as know this has never been used before, so City would require proof that it was not just victimization. Investigating liverpool`s £50 million picture was an ideal time to prove process, not saying liverpool were guilty, just that the PL failed to justify the non cooperation charge.
Or at least that is what Ironside taught me.

So you're saying that all legislative processes are entirely just and fair and enforced even handedly and no form of corruption, bias, nepotism, favouritism etc exists in any way shape or form throughout the whole of society? (Not just football)

So if chairman Keir introduces a new law that anyone who goes on the internet with the username "stoned rose" has to have their cock removed using a rusty butter knife you'd be entirely happy about that because that's the law and we all have to abide by it.

Like I said, just leave it there.

I guess it's possible that the 3-man commission had looked at the evidence and come back with the view that it would be a 10 or even 12-point deduction based on the evidence they'd seen so far. And that to save the huge expense of a 3-month hearing, and probably an appeal, the PL were prepared to settle for less, in order to avoid the expense.

It's also possible that they were told that it was the IC's view that it was only 50/50 that they'd land the main allegations, and they wanted to try to get a result without that uncertainty, and one that satisfied the cartel as well.

It could also be possible that they did this entirely off their own bat, having discussed with the cartel what they'd consider the minimum adequate outcome.

We don't know, and we'll only know when the IC makes its findings known.

I think all the 115 shit they threw on the wall are dried up and crumbling down. Looks like nothing is sticking but pl is trying to be cunning and bluff with shitty poker cards to save their anus from getting a new hole .
