Do you not think there are similar legal experts on RAWKous or RagCafe explaining the ins and outs of the UEFA hearing, the CAS judgement and the likely charges and a breakdown of the substantive issues raised by the PL.And we fans are very grateful to our learned friends for their invaluable insight. I'm convinced that by far the strongest knowledge base about FFP sits on Bluemoon. Also grateful that you tell it how it is, with a cautious optimism about how it might end up.
My thoughts exactlyClose the thread now for 4 years until it’s resolved nothing more to say, nobody knows fuck all on here just a load of would be inspector gadgets
Agree with the scepticism but, surely to leak it to a ’trusted’ source would create a ripple effect to the right/wrong places?I am skeptical on what Dodge has said, nothing against him but it would be such a small group at City who would know about it and would be reliable not to have loose lips.
The idea we are using some leverage to get off the charges and also talking about it, no chance in my eyes.
The idea that we would also use it as leverage is not great. Would mean in my eyes we were guilty, if that was our plan.
The more I think about it, the more it’s a no from me.
However, I have no doubt the information has been passed on in good faith.
The irony is more if it is true then don’t put it on a public forum, doubt that helps the club if they wanted to use it as leverage.
Their investigation started in late 2018, and they’ve accused of us of not cooperating since then, so presumably that’s why they’ve chosen to charge us up until that point, and with non-compliance subsequently? If that makes sense? Could be completely wrong on that though!What's bugging me is the fact they have charged us for every season up to 2018. This must mean they have a lot more evidence which hasn't yet been seen as the Der Spiegel emails were from much earlier. There must surely be specific evidence to show that the alleged fraud continued for every season up to and including 2018, otherwise the charges would be totally frivolous. It's agonising not knowing and I don't see how we can be expected to put up with this for years without any concrete information from either the PL or City.

With the greatest respect to you both, that’s nonsense. There are a few legal experts on here, including KCs, whose input is greatly valued by many, myself included.My thoughts exactly

Don’t think it’s either leveraging or blackmailing if it is true.
Just think, again if it is true, City saying go ahead punks make our day.
I believe we’re innocent, sadly I expect some technicalities, will see us found not guilty in the eyes of the law ( to paraphrase King Charles III ’Whatever that is”) yet still condemned in the eyes of the daily fail/sly/prem league and the other bottom feeding pond life that is twitter, because we’ll be fined for non compliance again I suspect.
We’ve a long way to go.
We’re all Blues, remember this campaign against us started back in August 2008, year on year it’s gathered (red) pace.
We will prevail and let the fun begin when we come through this vindicated.
As you were Blues.

Again, I might be talking bollocks but I think that might be a cumulative thing. I.e. if your accounts in, say, 2012-13 were falsified then each subsequent year’s accounts are therefore also wrong as a result. Don’t think they have “evidence of malpractice” for every individual year per se, as you put it.As I understand it they've charged us with providing misleading information concerning our financial position for every season up to and including 17/18 which means they must have evidence of malpractice concerning our accounts, not just failure to co-operate, for every season up to and including that one.
Half the members are rags and dippers - have you seen the matchday threads?Might it be worth limiting access to the thread so only members can see it? Other supporters' forums of clubs that shall remain nameless do this to stop WUMs and journalists accessing them.
Not sure if that is an option in the forum software, or something I’d want to do either tbh.Might it be worth limiting access to the thread so only members can see it? Other supporters' forums of clubs that shall remain nameless do this to stop WUMs and journalists accessing them.
We certainly have our wums, eh.Half the members are rags and dippers - have you seen the matchday threads?
It was a jokeWith the greatest respect to you both, that’s nonsense. There are a few legal experts on here, including KCs, whose input is greatly valued by many, myself included.
Sorry, it must’ve gone over my head.It was a joke
We didn't cooperate for good reason imho, because we were under investigation by UEFA, had we cooperated with the PL, you can bet your life that anything we had divulged in that time, would have gone straight to UEFA anyway.Their investigation started in late 2018, and they’ve accused of us of not cooperating since then, so presumably that’s why they’ve chosen to charge us up until that point, and with non-compliance subsequently?
No worriesSorry, it must’ve gone over my head.
