PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

I have little doubt that during our steep learning curve we will have done something wrong, maybe it was copying utd`s image rights? certainly we have filed our accounts late, pretty sure we got punished at the time as well? but the PL having irrefutable evidence of just 1 charge would be meaningless, when you consider the court costs. Just my opinion but the Fair and Accurate 54 charges i believe, got put to bed by Leicester, not so much the appeal, but the PL independent panel that got caught perverting the understanding of the rules, it put a huge amount of pressure on our panel, to only except legal terms. I do think the Panel will allow the non cooperation charges 35 i believe to run, but the burden of suspicion will be raised, a simple accusation would not merit non cooperation on the basis that the information required is not in the rule book. No doubt City will fight these charges individually.
That is where i think City are now, pure guess work, but it is better than the media, who have real lawyers, i only have my video`s of Ironside :)

Did we ever file accounts late? I don’t remember that.

They include allegations of false accounting yes, but in a civil court breach of contract case. If the allegations are found to be proven by the panel, it could lead to a criminal investigation, but then in a different court to a higher standard of proof.

I think :)

Do you think a counter Court case would then be brought by the 3rd party named against the PL?

You need to ask a lawyer for that :)

I suppose their are three scenarios:
- the PL can't prove the allegations to the satisfaction of the panel
- the PL can prove the allegations
- the PL can prove the allegations and a criminal investigation follows.

I have no idea if Etihad, for example, could take action against the PL in any of those three situations, tbh.
