PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[slbsn]

Surely the IC will have all read everything beforehand?

And if so, be remunerated for that time.

Doubt it. Documents won’t come alive until pored over in opening, cross examination and then in closing anyway. And the overall bundle will be huge so no chance they will have flicked through the whole of that

How can the IC be I is the 3 members were all appointed by the Premier League?
It smacks of the IC being anything but I.

no there hands are tied with non cooperation, quite sure its a fine only

The club may 'conditionally' concede the non cooperation charge, on the basis of lack of trust following all the leaks from football authorities during recent years.

Why trust trust organisations who've demonstrated they cannot be trusted & are run by our enemies.

Does fire burn ??

Yeah that was this morning

This afternoon/ evening we’re being told the agents and representatives are lining up moves for players when we’re thrown out of the premier league

This bullshit is after 4 days of the hearing

The plan has always been to DESTROY us !!

There is an article today that City will be expelled from all compeitions when found guilty !


They don't want to relegate us, they just want to bury us alive

I have said this mate, every rival football fan does not want to just punish us, but to execute us, they want us wiped out of existence.

It’s ironic that FFP was brought in to try and safeguard clubs from doing a Bury F.C and going out of business,

Yet if they find us guilty of all these charges that very same rule of FFP could bankrupt us and leave us in financial ruin if they were to throw the kitchen sink and every man and his dog at us,

I really am fed up of this whole situation, I am adamant if we did a Blackburn rovers and won the leauge just once and then faded into obscurity then this whole charade of FFP and independent panels would not be happening,

I am down in London next week, I am tempted to go down to where the actual hearing is taking place, to see if I can gage an atmosphere or feeling of these barristers who are leaving at the end of a days hearing, if I see lord panic I might even be cheeky and ask how it’s going in there lol

Apologies if it’s a stupid question, but on the more serious allegations (I.e sponsorship) is there any middle ground or is it simply we did it or we didn’t? Basically, is it either a huge punishment or no punishment…or could they decide on a smaller punishment for a ‘technical’ breach or something like that?

It’s a reasonable enough question, and didn’t really deserve some of the (now deleted) sarky responses tbh. Not actually sure of the answer myself, but hopefully someone else with more knowledge can answer it.

City employ something like 1300 people, probably 90% of these are just normal people with mortgages and families to feed

Yep… These wankers want the club to be crushed into oblivion and these ‘normal people’ to lose their livelihoods

All this rhetoric is making me LMFAO...people need to relax. All these extreme consequences are all nonsense. What DOCUMENTS can the Prem actually have that would support their claims? And why on Earth would we have any self incriminating documents in existence. I'm still having a difficult time trying to understand how the Prem could prove such accusations. "We think you are guilty of mass fraud and we know you have a bunch of documents that say so. Now give them to us." WTF?

BTW, we, the Prem, think all of your business partners are lying fucks willing to perjure themselves on a grand scale.

That's the rag way laying off staff, so it must be good.

Imagine if City were laying off staff left, right and centre, the biased gutter press would be having City's guts for garters. The rags do it, hardly a peep out of the cunts.

That's basically what we are up against, a fawning, subservient, biased, agenda driven press. Fuck em.

I've recently experienced Jury Service (not to compare my experiences, to what it going on)

However, despite thoughts and feelings and general agreement that the alleged act did take place, there was not enough evidence to prove that it did.

I am no law expert.....but this, for me , in the context of the City hearing, gives me confidence that the Premier League have a major uphill struggle to to prove anything.
