PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

Perfectly put. As fans we can only do our bit and over the years we have done it in spades. Travelled thousands of miles all over the country, braving the elements, the awful journey there and back and often in the old days violence from other fans. We didn't ask for much, ( Lucky as we didn't get much) just 100% effort from the lads wearing the Blue shirt on the field. We wore our loyal support as a badge of pride and honour and were admired by other fans for sticking with our team when the one just down the road was winning trophy after trophy and it would have been easy to jump ship, but we didn't.

Supporting a football club is a marriage of love and loyalty. Once that bond is made it's forever and you laugh and celebrate together in the good times and suffer and mourn in the bad times. All we dreamt of was to see us win one trophy before we died. The takeover gave us the chance to do that multiple times, it was a dream come true. How dare these suits with an affinity to rival clubs try to destroy that dream, those memories, that pride we felt in victory and triumph after decades of failure, how dare they! We, the manager's and players are totally innocent and as such shouldn't be punished for administration errors, if any were made. Fine the club, prosecute and/or boot out those guilty of any cooking of the accounts if any were made, but don't punish good honest fans and sportsmen who gave their all on and of the field, we are innocent.

Remember when UEFA charged City last time there was a programme on Irish TV and Niall Quin was discussing City's plight with Graham Souness. Quinn stated that for him al City's success was tainted. Sourness stood up for City and reminded him of the great moments that we have gone through since the takeover and the redevelopment of the area. With friends like Niall Quin we don't need enemies. I know the post is a bit random but I thought I would get it off my chest.

I have zero respect for Quinn, I have met him briefly away at Burnley in the cup, he was injured and sat in a VIP type bit behind the goal, couldn’t be arsed with the fans. Since then he’s been a proper sniping ****, but with a charming smile.

It is written in plain language. I linked it and explained it. There are TWO routes to court. Substantive jurisdiction - irrelevant as the PL obviously has jurisdiction. And "serious irregularity". Thats it. If you disagree I think you owe the audience a proper explanation why.

Playing catch up here, but surely a claim for breach of contract can’t be precluded unless there was a civil restraint order in place.

Smiling assassin.

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.

I took away from it that it wouldn't be to set aside any punishment, but to go nuclear on the Premier League with what we have.
