PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[Lost for words]

It’s funny PSR/FFP is there to stop clubs going out of business (allegedly).
But the PL, the media and all the other clubs are trying to do just that.
They don’t just want us relegated they want us gone, permanently.

Yes, and once we have gone then the EPL will effectively be a permanent three team league which will die through a lack of interest.

Pep Guardiola says people expect Manchester City to be 'wiped from face of Earth' over alleged breaches

Pep Guardiola says people expect to see Manchester City wiped "off the face of the Earth" over the club's alleged financial rule breaches.

BBC like clockwork yet again…

Even more hilarious/bent when you see the actual screenshot of the headline

As you well know, you don't use a witness who can harm your case more than they can help it. I can't believe they expect to land the Mancini-related charges.

Given the outcome at CAS, I also can't believe they expect they can land the sponsorship charges. If I'm right that they knew about Fordham back in 2015, and neither UEFA nor the PL did anything at the time or subsequently, then they surely can't be confident they can land that either. So why do this?

We've speculated that it's just to damage our reputation, which looks more and more like a rational explanation, plus they might hope to get us on the non-cooperation allegations. Given the cost of this to the PL, if I was one of the non-cartel member clubs of the PL, I'd be asking some very searching questions once this is over.

But surely PB the premier league’s legal advisors would be coming across with the same view would they not be advising them on this that it is a no no,they can’t be that stupid to not take proper legal advice surely and run with something that may make them look a laughing stock..

I wonder if the rest of the media are running with a similar headline. If so Pep's team talk for tomorrow is nearly done. Just needs to develop the siege mentality a bit further

Quite incredible how much negative media coverage we get.
Don't care what the jealous haters say.
No matter what the end result is with this 115 crap, the stats and facts say we are currently the best football team on planet earth.

City said in the official statement that they have "Comprehensive body of irrefutable evidence". I have always wondered what that might be..? Is it Audit report, Bank transaction details, Full chain of email conversations or something else...?

What's your thought on that, PB....?

It’s the signed off audited accounts, of course we will have more to substantiate it (possibly including what you mention).

But for me it’s posturing and building up the accounts.

Have them at the start point and make them credible and then the PL has a hell of a job disproving them with I’m guessing just circumstancal evidence

The rest of the PL just do what they are told by the cartel clubs in my view.

However, I don’t feel we are too far from an uprising as people have seen those views for what they are.

I expect there will follow a relaxing of the rules to help the so called lesser teams (sure that was Masters word).

I'm not sure that logic or reason play much part in the PL's approach deano.

I really love Pep's mentality, especially the phrase “I want to defend my club, …”

Love him to, but he came out and said his piece last week.

I think we should go with the line of respecting the process and therefore will not be making any further comment until after the trail has been heard and a judgment has been made.

Give Pep a rest
