PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

I know that a lot of us spend waaay too much time on the 2 threads - but at least that leads us to being knowledgeable to a fair degree and able to try and 'educate' others that do not have closed minds.

On that last point I would avoid trying to explain the realities to redscouse fans - they seem beyond the point of being able to reason with or even to have a thought that is not desperately biased.

Well if this is an example.............

Re: 115 charges for the scorched earth cheating bastards on & off the pitch​

I haven't read every page of this to see if others have said this, and there's not much point in speculating, but given the response from the recent case, and what we know about the 115 to 130 charges, they have lost the cases for compliance already, they are extremely non compliant from the moment information was first requested, to the point that that is not up for argument any more. That is at least 89 of the charges, so the vast majority. There's only the 7 profit and sustainability charges that have wiggle room that I can see. The 35 "Failure to cooperate with Premier League investigations from December 2018 - present" looks like a no hoper for them.

We are clearly doomed!!!!

are there any blues on there attempting to fight our corner ?

i've been on toontastic since their takeover looked likely. i was curious to relive our journey to riches through their excitement although its not really happening for them yet. i'm on my best behaviour on there (its their forum after all) and i've been met with civility at worst but mostly they ask me stuff about city that i'm not qualified to answer. the fans are definitely in our corner (at least as much as any set of rival fans can be) so i preface everything with stuff like "i don't know but others say". we chat before we play each other and then i give it a wide berth after.

think masters might be different.
he might say, there were allegations and we were obliged to investigate.
he might say he wouldn't be doing his job if he didn't.
he might say he had always hoped we were innocent.
weasels will weasel.

He was still saying that AFTER the CAS verdict.

I think it's a bit of a phoney war between City and Ceferin. The impression I get is that he quite likes us (witness his comments when we pulled out of the ESL) but probably has other clubs - and that prick Tebas - in his earhole moaning about us all the time. That said, it was ill-advised him giving that interview to a British newspaper several months ago but IIRC his words were twisted. He never said that we were definitely guilty of what we were cleared of at CAS, just that UEFA felt they had a strong enough case when they punished us. And he's hardly going to come out and say they had a piss weak case!

FFS!
On what level would the scum be held in anyway responsible for a completely internal matter at another club?
Your average rag dickhead will have an opinion on this now along the lines of we’ve dragged them into it!
This charlatan is paid by the public to peddle lies as fact, personal opinion as consensus and treats open handed public finances with utter contempt.
He should have been sacked when he accepted the watch - handing it back?
Did he really?
I suppose he’s submitted his piece for today and that’s all is required of him.
****.

You ask the average plastic fan what that relates to and they won't have a clue.

I did exactly that to a massive rag from Croydon in Portugal a few years back.
I was actually one of them Salford school kids!
Said he’d never heard of Louis Edwards. I was not surprised in the slightest.

Be interesting to see their grounds of appeal, they lost on a point of law… no jurisdiction so really can’t see how they can reverse that. They look like an organisation that are really under pressure. Their response to the APT ruling was completely OTT.

Or an organisation drunk on its perceived power and with delusions of grandeur.
