PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[City Mike 1969]

Perhaps the PL should open their books so we can see the source of their funding.

Bwahahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa...as if! There's a reason everything to do with that shower is conducted behind closed doors.

His wife is a blue isn’t she? Or have I made that up?

Could explain why he’s always quite ‘nice’ to us with his punditry.

Yeah she's originally from Cheadle Hulme ,here brother had bakery shop on corner of Grove Lane called Petes Pantry Big blues .

A fine for non-cooperation and maybe some small technical breaches that many other clubs would likely also be found to have committed if scrutinised to the same degree.

Relegation and title-stripping are hyperbolic nonsense being espoused by an increasingly partisan and disingenuous press.

Indeed, if anyone think's that the other clubs aren't upto no good then they are only thinking of football allegiances before using their brain.

If you put all of this in comparison to United, they're ultimately registered in the Cayman Islands for tax reasons. No-one will investigate that because apparently with the Premier League you can't structure your company to invest your own money but you can structure your company to pay less tax.

Thank fuck for you colin

Simple question... are they looking at the same rule book you are , being kind to the PL it seems to be different , but I've long believed there is different rules for us and some others

We will keep all are titles/trophies am near enough certain as for the rest I have no idea ,

If we're found guilty keeping the titles is a bit irrelevant to me TBH

Everyone will say we cheated to win them, and we'll have no comeback

Just a bland statement from the Club.

They want our undivided support, I personally thing they should be giving us more.

 

[Manchester_lalala]

You hope for that now but when Rick Parry or David Gill gets appointed to the role I think you might change your tune.

Haha you just know it wouldn’t be independent!

One of the CAS panel worked in the Middle East office of Etihad and Etisalat's lawyers.

Is this the truth or just made up bollocks. I`m quite a few of us would like to know.

City's accounts must be the most scrutinized ever. It seem unlikely to me that the PL will have found something which was not found by the previous investigations.

They might have an ex-city player/staff providing evidence. I don’t know how likely that is but it’s crossed my mind. Would help them no end in proving that we made image rights payments off the books, or that people received part of their pay in alternative ways, off of City’s books. But I don’t know how it works - if someone was able to show they received payments in such a fashion, are they able to say that and not face any consequences themselves? I’m rambling, just thoughts that I’ve had.
