PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[Mazzarelli's Swiss Cheese]

Hmmm yeah hang on a minute aren’t we getting relegated at the end of the season?

That's why we only have a week off between the end of the club world cup and our first league fixtures against wythenshaw / stalybridge Celtic etc.

....
In recent times, the PL have failed miserably to move the English game forward and instead the game is mired in over regulation, parasitic lawyers, excessive secrecy, conspiracy theories and a total lack of trust in the leadership. In any other industry Richard Masters would have been dismissed for total under performance and for bringing modern football into disrepute.

The sooner these ridiculous legal processes are completed the better.

Looking forward to the game tomorrow. No thanks to the PL. Come on City!

,,,and brazen, self-evident refereeing favouritism and game manipulation.

F A Cup extra preliminary rounds don't play themselves and start fucking early.

Suppose we'll gain missing LC games but have to piss about with the FA Trophy/Vase and a few more league games as well as the CL.

What a time to be alive, all those new grounds to visit.

I used to play for them early 80's. Do you think I should get some new boots ? Just in case I get the phone call. Would be a sell out that, at least 30 people.

I played against them for Abbey Hey. Maine Road were a very good side and played good passing football.

It’s the same stuff with his absolute confidence of outcome

I'm pretty sure I'm misunderstanding you here, but for someone who repeatedly says we're bang to rights and definitely will be found guilty, you then saying he breaks it down well and you're impressed by what they had to say - are you a bit more persuaded by the arguments of MH than you once were? Has your thoughts on the likelihood of the outcome changed?

I know you've explicitly said they're far too confident of the outcome and naive on certain points, but it's the highest I've seen you "praise" him.

I was just imagining winning the League and FA cup as a 2nd Division side, than winning both again and the Charity Shield and European Cup as a 1st Division side, than winning all these again as a Championship side before we return to the precious PL.

I mean we are known for breaking records no??

All would fit our already famous history that we do not have.

Brilliant …. and imagine if the entire squad stayed with us, including Pep who extended his contract by x number of years it would take to get back?

The PL would be wise to remember that this league would be nothing without the fans.

Unfortunately their definition of "fan" is totally different to ours.

For the PL, a fan is one who is a fully paid-up sky sports subscriber - following his/her team through the TV coverage and hence the heavily weighted bias to where those fans are mostly found, ie the cartel clubs.

I take everything with a pinch of salt including slbsn.
People have to make livings. Generate engagements etc.
Until January and the final ruling I believe nothing I read or see off so called experts.
The only person I believe is Khaldoon when he stated we had 'irrefutable evidence'

Everything else is just speculation.

 

[BLUE THUNDER]

I don’t but I think it is fairly universally accepted that for their to be a 10 week trail, that both parties are planning on demonstrating a substantial amount of evidence and witness statements.

Think your question is probably whether it’s credible or of value.

A large amount of evidence being submitted doesn’t tend to mean at fault, in fact it could be argued they are presenting so much as on it’s own none of what they show is in anyway good enough.

A confidence of the opposition on a small amount of evidence, could be a lot more damning if that evidence proves their point.

I think it’s actually fair to guess that the PL have nothing of real value as to be submitting so much, but as my posts go outside people involved we really don’t know at this point.

But please don’t confuse substantial as anything other then the amount of evidence they have, 10 witness statements of someone saying they heard a bang and saw x running away, would be worth far less then 1 person giving a witness statement that they saw x shooting x.

Terrible example, but I hope it helps understand the point I am making.

Yes it does.
Fair point.
