PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[Dirty Harry]

Surely the PL being able to bring charges and then be judge, jury and executioner on those charges is irregular? Nothing remotely regular about that and who the frig would sign up to it if this was the case?

This is what Mark Stephens QC (CBE) had to say on UEFA in regards to that following an interview, some of the questions leading to his responses are blocked due to them being banned or whatever but it should be easy enough to follow :-



If Stefan is saying those are definitely not grounds to take things further than a PL panel then fair enough.

You don’t think us being charged changes things for prospective new owners of either the rags or dippers ? It changes everything, their investment levels, potential earnings, the prospect of a super league, they want us out of the picture and will then move on to Newcastle

up till now there’d been no bids for any of the red shirts, and no firm interest in the scousers, so basically a waiting game ensued while the PL followed through with promises made to their owners, who’d probably intimated to prospective new investors/owners that we would be facing doomsday, all of a sudden that guaranteed top four place is a bit more attainable

Shirley They would wait for a full verdict it's allright buying now thinking city are gonna be found guilty. But what a few years down the line if we are not??

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

mate you are being obtuse again? do you think if the panel awards us 1 trillion in punishment and handling over the squad to manchester united it cannot be appealed? lol. there is a set agreed rule to what the punishment is and if it is proportional to the crime. so no inappropriate punishment can be appealed under the pretext the panel is not following its own rules under section 68 of the act.

its should be blatantly obvious there is an agenda with the sheer fact the premier league dont want an independent regulator? If there is clarity and fairness in the organisation then transparency should be welcomed!

im on page 682, this is a very fast moving thread, a pretty important and serious thread,and we've got loads of comments about a made up fixture list, its hard enough to keep up without that bullshit littering the thread.

Spot on.

@projectriver input is great but he’s had a shocker here. City can and will challenge this in court if we don’t get the outcome desired from the premier leagues ‘iNdEpEnDeNt body’.

Tbf, this stage is a PL Commission. After that there is an appeals panel and after that arbitration. I expect the ability to appeal and go to arbitration was an attempt to ensure that accused parties could not go to court alleging onerous behaviour.

8 pages on the evils of City’s owner’s short cutting their way to the top by paying obscene wages on over inflated transfer fees on players, no mention of the east Manchester regeneration, new education facilities, training complex, stadium expansion works and community projects
Next page , how wonderful it is to see Wrexham’s fairytale rise due to multi million dollar Hollywood owners, rebuilding the decaying ground, buying higher league players on big wages to fast track their rise and finally raising the profile of ‘Soccer’ in the USA

Excellent point about Wrexham, spent 10mins looking online cant find anything negative about their takeover and subsequent spending. Only article i could find showing anything other than positivity, was YOrk manager stating Wrexhams keeper was on 6k a week.
Of course being white americans has nothing to do with it i,m sure.

Funny you should say that, next season’s fixtures are out:

 

[birchwoodgingerste]

Just seen a few morning headlines it's looking like we will be relegated going by today's news it's getting a free for all now and it's absolute BS!

 

[KS55]

Yes that is likely "serious irregularity" so x.37 comes into play. But it would need to be more than an allegation.

Thanks. I expect the PL briefing other clubs (City say they have proof) and possibly the press might open that up for us.
