PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[KS55]

Any prediction on how long this will drag on for, Tolm? Presumably years if it goes to appeal?

@tolmie's hairdoo . Can you point me in the direction of info on what we were prepared to tell CAS but weren’t allowed to, please.

So in other words we can definitely take it to court if we get stitched over. If we get done for minor offences we’ll get a minor punishment and will have to put up with it.

No. That isn't what it says

Yeah - all the cunts who have assumed our guilt before we've had a chance to defend ourselves can fuck right off if they think they're getting a pint of Asahi for £4.77 instead of £5.30. And we should be allowed to shit in their chicken Balti pies for good measure - seeing what comes out of my arse after a night on the lash and a spicy curry the fuckers won't be able to tell anyway.

Would they notice re. Chicken Balti Pies!

Fuckin awful things, repeat more than the BBC.

It depends what they mean. They have already been to the High Court on procedural grounds in this matter. And can again. BUT they can't go there in respect of the substantive consideration of the facts unless the process has serious irregularities or doesn't have jurisdiction.

That sounds very similar to the right of appeal to CAS over UEFA's case - if the investigation had been sound, then CAS would have been no help (or not interested). Is that right?

I am no lawyer, but if City are punished and the punishment is deemed excessive and damaging to City on a commercial/reputational level, City should be able to challenge that in the courts.

I won’t get involved in any of the rights or wrongs of the charges but in terms of process my understanding always was that you can’t appeal the findings of any commission any appeal to the HC is limited to any sanction that may be handed down.

Stefen is great to listen to when he’s not talking about the shit he does for a living. He’s the only voice that doesn’t sound like a twat on the 93.20 pod. I like his opinions but he’s not half a doom merchant some times. He’s deffo avoiding cracks in the pavement and walking around ladders instead of under on a day to day basis.

I just can't be arsed living in delusion. And as to my general outlook on life? I still blame Manchester grey clouds and City in the 80s for infecting my entire psyche. Blame them.

Nope, literally can't challenge on those grounds. Next.

That’s my understanding as well.

Fuck that, FFP works in our favour now. We’re self sufficient and rolling in cash. Nobody will be able to catch us up if we carry on with the trajectory we’re going at.

Would rather a totally even playing field for everyone tbh.
