PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[mexico1970]

Sorry.
But if everything is above board, legal, etc (which I think it is)
Why would/should we accept something that seems like a 'deal' to escape punishment for something we haven't done?

Every club in the premiership could be found guilty of something, the rules are wrote in such a manner you can be got for something no matter how small.

Now we don't make the rules the PL (red cartel) do and we can't change the rules, all we can do is try to live with them. This isn't some insane fight to the death where honour and glory are left in the sand of an arena this will be a business decision based on what will hurt MCFC the least.

Our Chairman has said before "we will NOT take another hit" so its a pointless debate.

He's a businessman mate, he'll take whatever hit he will take for the good of the business, in my humble opinion.

And he`s not a mug.City IMO will never take a hit again. Why ? Because I trust our Chairman.

I have little to no faith in anyone but our fans mate.

Little to no faith? We'll have to revisit this upon the conclusion of the process...

No idea where it was originally posted that a 6 point deduction was offered but it’s obviously complete bollocks.

Why would the PL offer a 6 point settlement to City at pretty much the same time they were recommending the IC punish more than that for Forest and Everton for minor PSR transgressions.

Maybe because that is exactly the sort of settlement they will offer to Chelsea and, firstly, the PL aren't too confident of landing the most serious charges and, secondly, consistency in treatment of sanctions is a pretty fundamental principle.

And the rumour wasn't just a six point penalty it was a six point penalty and a substantial fine.

And the rumour didn't come from some KFA on Twitter, it came from @Prestwich_Blue who said it was second hand and so should be treated with caution.

So, do I think something like that was offered? It's possible. A lot of cases end in a settlement. Maybe the rumour was just part of the offered settlement, along with some other sporting sanctions. Who knows? But I tend to believe what Prestwich_Blue says at face value when he says anything. He has earned that right imho.
