PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[ProofMCFC]

IF we don’t spend next month that’ll be the first indication to me that it’s not gone well.

Yeah, I’m going for mid Jan personally. If we haven’t spent a decent chunk of money by 15th/16th then I’ll start thinking the outcome isn’t good.

CHEESEMAN LOL

I agree with the transfer spend.

City won’t know the verdict but they must know the feelings in the room as to whether the evidence provided went down well or not.

No way a case like this based on accounts can be anything other than we did or did not prove that the owner paid the money.

All this cloak and dagger shit is a sideshow imo. Wait on the verdict this size without getting a steer? Sorry don’t buy it no matter who is on the panel.

If us fans can see the writing is on the wall then so must 3 far superior legal minds.

Bruno in Jan and its case closed.

Facts v nothing but made up crap

Give us the facts that prove guilt you bent wankers.

Aye he’s a top blue - great that he’s spreading gossip about 40 point deductions to other blues then denying any knowledge of it when he’s rightly pulled up for it.

where did he post that? or is it others spreading that rumour? sounds like a chinese whisper to me.

Seems the mood has changed somewhat on this thread since Cheeseman has alledgedly spread some bullshit about a 40 point deduction. Yet here we are being linked to numerous new signings in January and a rebuild of quite large proportions. CHEESY HAS GOT AN AXE TO GRIND IN MY OPINION.

It never fails to amaze me that a negative (ish) post can have a domino effect and all of a sudden posters are questioning our ownership who have made all of our dreams come true….we certainly have seen things in our lifetime that we never thought we would be possible.

If (and it’s a big IF) we have somehow broken the rules….the cartel have been out to get and stop us from day one and have changed the rules on numerous occasions
……not for the good of football in general but for their own self interest.

City are treated differently from any other club both in the media and from administration point of view.

Where is/was the outcry when :

• Abramovic was bank rolling Chelsea.
• Chelsea manipulating their finances by selling two hotels.
• Chelsea admitting previous financial irregularities when the present ownership took over.
• United recently failing FFP
• United offshore tax avoidance accounts.
• Liverpool writing off £50 off on new stadium plans that didn’t happen.
• Liverpool hacking our database.
• Tottenhams owners insider trading.

I have no doubt City have used every possible legal trick in the book to circumvent the rules, the same as any other sensible set of owners would do.

At the very worst….if we are found guilty, is the fact that our owners used their own money to invest in the club because of the unscrupulous tactics of the Cartel.

So in the unlikely event that the Cartel led Premier League are able to somehow make some of the ‘mud stick’ and we are found to be guilty on some technicality, we need to look at the wider picture and ask how were we supposed to compete with the closed shop that is the Cartel that tries to prevent investment and is only interested in what it/they can take out of football.

We have the Newcastle example where the drawbridge has been closed and the richest club in the world are left on the outside and maybe having to sell their best players to meet FFP.

I am certainly not going to turn on our owners whatever the outcome.

​

It’s just the US business model. Laws & rules are introduced not to be abided by them but to he used to stop the competition. For the last 80 years show trials & sanctions have been used to ensure their interests are served & if they doesn’t work then they’ll de-stabilise the leadership usually under the pretence of supporting the underdog who they couldn’t give a flying fuck about.

You’ve only got to glance at Nuremberg, world bank, investor state dispute settlements, war crimes. There is no end to their hypocrisy but one thing is for certain Khaldoon & Sheik Mansour know the playbook. They are on the world stage & far more important strategically than Scruffy Jim, the Boston tramps & Cockney spivs.

Trust City have it all in hand, there has only ever been innuendo & no evidence provided & supreme confidence from City whilst Masters has shit himself publicly, cancelled engagements & been shown to have acted unlawfully, unfairly & unreasonably.

As for our blip, had Akanji & Dias not had long term injuries I’m certain we’d have coped without

Bobb,
Rodri,
Stones,
Ake,
Walker,
KDB,
Foden,
Grealish,
Savio,
Doku

& been good for another 2 wins in the prem & champions league. We’d have dropped points but imagine if we’d just had a bit of stability in those games. That would have left us 2nd in the prem & 3rd in the champions league.

By not planning for 13 internationals to be out people think the clubs badly run. I’m very confident clubs are going to hit the wall after Xmas. There will also be added pressure on clubs to capitalise on City’s horrendous results. Arsenal & Dippers will be devastated if we don’t show up & they fail to win the league.

With respect, the very notion that a man of Khaldoon’s international standing would take on the role of City Media Officer for the day just to appease some fans, is frankly absurd.

Great idea for City TV, I’ve seen Bernardo as a tour guide & Carson being the grounds man ;)

I was always a little confused about Omar's title of COO. The normal industry job title of COO normally includes leading and running all the day to day operations of a company - that means IT, HR, Operations, Property, Security - so in City's case anything that involves ticketing, match day, groundsmen, canteen staff, call centres etc etc etc.
Thats not what Omar did though, he seemed to be more involved with sponsorship and the financial side. Danny Wilson, position seems to be far closer to being a COO. It does feel strange though, the lack of club specific executive..

I’ve worked with some pretentious pricks that in reviews have negotiated title changes that seem to elevate them to a higher scale than reality. It’s possible City thought this cunts a snake, let’s make him an obvious pick.

I also remember getting a lofty title in a restructure when in all intents and purposes it was arguably a demotion.

There was a report a couple of days ago that Pep had been allocated a 200million transfer budget.

I usually take no notice of reports like this especially in the uk media as it’s usually gossip type stuff.

Wouldn’t surprise me though as we need a rebuild.

Clearly, Cheeseman was just talking off the record until someone posted it on here. Then he denied knowing anything on record. As he would. And should. Because he doesn't, as was discussed at great length when this was posted on here in the first place.
