PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[bigA]

And if the BBC could get any worse with its constant insinuations and lies about City they are now trying to defend the theiving Portugese piece of shit for "morally saving" football. Where were the BBC morals regarding Jimmy Savile and Huw Edwards? Oh yes, they were swept under the carpet.

Anyhow, here's the article

I wasn’t to know you had more than one lad!

Haha. Twins.

Surprised at that view, PB.

In the very worst case scenario that the bulk of the Etihad revenue was falsely included in the accounts in the way alleged, how could that have happened without the very serious, wide-ranging and deliberate deception against the PL, UEFA, the auditors and the club's commercial partners that you suggest would lead to expulsion, relegation or a large points deduction?

Don't get me wrong, I don't think they have any way of proving that for many, many reasons. I was just surprised at your thinking.

I couldn't understand your response at first but think I've got it now.

There's a big difference in doing something that's deliberately deceptive and doing something you believe you have good grounds for. It's the difference between acting in bad faith and good faith.

For example, we proved to the comfortable satisfaction of the CAS panel that the Etihad sponsorship wasn't disguised equity investment, as we presented evidence that it had come from a source other than ADUG. So unless the PL has an email or other evidence that specifically contradicts that testimony, they will struggle to prove it. If they do have cogent evidence that there was a conspiracy to lie and mislead the panel, then we would be in serious trouble.

Same for Fordham. We didn't do that to hide expenses but to bring in revenue. I assume we took good legal and financial advice about that, and that we didn't act in deliberate bad faith. But the IC could potentially still find us in breach of something, but not that we acted deceptively.

Absolutely no leaks.

How do I know that?

Because the media pricks have gone into overdrive about what will happen to us.

At the minute we're being relegated to the Stockport Sunday league, we're getting docked 500 points, we're getting docked 25 points per season forever, we're also getting expelled from every competition, every single player is looking at other options, pep and kdb will lead the walkouts
Oh and a transfer ban which, by the way, will be hard to impose if we aren't playing in any competition or don't have any players.


So as you can probably tell our lovely chaps in the press are like junkies who have gone cold turkey.

Don't forget we're getting every single trophy we've ever won since 1904 taken off us as well

I use the bbc trash site for weather and fixtures. That’s pretty much it. They are a complete moral cesspit, I am a lefty but would be happy for them bastards to enter the big bad free market with no public funded license for the absolute dross they broadcast.

wasnt just the points though there was a large fine involved, i dont know 5 million or 105 million, it could be anything if it was a large amount as reported, think the club have gone the correct route,why should will fill the PLs coffers on demand

Agreed.

I think the mood of the thread is that we've got this, but as nobody knows anything we might as well just keep talking over the same issues repeatedly.

It's reassuring, but we do sound like a bunch of old women (no offence @Eccles Blue ;-)).

None taken. I AM an old woman. As long as you don’t say I haven’t got a sense of humour! ;-) :-)

"Convicted attempted extortionist", be good of the old Beeb to fix that when considering moral implications behind the actions of this bloke.
