PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[DenisLawBackHeel74]

Does Simon Jordan ever attend games at the Etihad?
I see Simons been very forthright in his views about our club whilst protected in his cosy radio studio, I think one or two blues would be interested in having a open & frank discussion about matters face to face :-)

I think we need a rogue’s gallery of journo pictures on here so we can put faces to names..

I imagine if even the majority of charges are thrown out the Premier League are facing getting sued for the impact on image rights.

I hope we don’t just let them get away with it for once

Taking them all to the cleaners would be the ultimate justice

I am pretty sure that if we had to we could take it to the high court, maybe someone else can confirm this. That said I am very confident that we won’t have to appeal as the PL have Jack shit on us.

If it goes to a fair Independent court, I’m confident we’ll get off without anything major. I just don’t trust this Arsenal fan leading the case for the PL and he gets to choose his team.

Any independent court, including the high court, will question why the PL investigation and subsequent hearing was conducted by those with a vested interest.
In the meantime, have we given up hope? My season card still shows Arsenal in the cup as the next game.

This has only really come about because of the Der Spiegel articles and the hacked e-mails. UEFA opened their investigation, and the Premier League opened theirs seemingly off the back of the UEFA one. I think most of us thought - understandably - that when we won at CAS that that would also be the end of the PL investigation. However, it appears that certain clubs have been pressuring the PL into continuing to pursue this and it's kind of snowballed from there with a raft of charges that encompass far more issues and seasons than UEFA had us up on, even pre-dating the implementation of both UEFA and PL FFP, such as the Mancini stuff for example. What I find most surprising is that they've also chucked in all the stuff that UEFA eventually lost on at CAS - after that verdict I didn't think that the PL would want to touch any of that with a bargepole but I suppose they're winging that one in the hope of getting a different verdict to what we got at CAS.

I'm as certain as I can be that without the lobbying of certain clubs who shall remain, cough cough, unnamed, this wouldn't have gone anywhere. No doubt they'll have also chucked in threats about reviving the Super League idea for good measure in order to shit the PL up into doing something.

So say IF the dippers and rags were fiddling the books the pl would only look into if other clubs tipped them of ?

The people from the dippers and rags on the pl board would investigate their own club !

 

[Holcombe bloo]

All these big clubs out to get us! Imagine for a second if we’d actually done something really bad, you know like actually illegal, they’d finish us on the spot! Such as;
murdering 39 innocent fans.
rioting at our own stadium causing damage and injury to staff and police.
hacking a rival database
fixing league games
actaul false accounts that avoided tax not paying more!

Any fanny wipes out there with any negativity to our own club- STOP AND THINK ABOUT IT WE HAVE BROKEN NOT A SINGLE LAW, JUST SLIGHTLY OVER INVESTED IN A PREVIOUSLY UNDERINVESTED TEAM, WHILST TRANSFORMING A DEPRIVED AREA!
sStick with the club , whatever the outcome xxx

Oh and PS attacking press or anyone else please , that what they want!
just spit at them, Jamie and sky say that’s perfectly fine, just apologise afterwards, no probs …..

My season card still shows Arsenal in the cup as the next game.

The independent impartial fair Arsenal season card holder has probably lobbied the FA for a rematch.

 

[Saddleworth2]

I don't agree with that at all. And there is no High Court route. The only appeal is another PL Panel. So lets hope I am right!

It can't be right that the PL can act as accuser, judge and jury. That it against any kind of natural fairness.

 

[Sky Blue Thinking]

Spot on. And I'm saying that as someone who is enjoying seeing what those two are doing at Wrexham

Also the BBC couldnt give enough publicity to Salford Citys rapid rise up the pyramid.

 

[drthingy]

They know we will be fine because?

Can you give a little more detail for those of us who don't have access to the club and for whom this is affecting their mental health.

Hi fella,

Just remember this will pass, it’s hard given how emotionally entangled we are with our club for it not to impact mental health when it seems so unfair given the origin of FFP. But this ain’t worth letting it get you too down. We’ve got one hell of a board behind us but whatever the outcome you will still be a blue. With memories and experiences other clubs could only have dreamed of. this is all part of being a city fan, ups and downs are in the fabric of this club. Smile whenever a rag or dipper give you grief, it could be worse you could be them.

deep breath in chest out, be proud

remember we’ve seen things they’ll never see.

it’ll be reet, it always is!

100 charges, EXACTLY 100.

Not 92 or 78 or 86 or 109.

EXACTLY 100.

How coincidental, how symmetrical.

How much planning,scheming and manipulation went into arriving at EXACTLY 100.

Clear & Obvious !!

112 ain't it to the exact number, headlines just say over 100 as a hundred sounds dramatic
