PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[ancoats]

I interpret the major investments in the stadium, Co-op Live, infrastructure, Silverlake's increased shareholding, and Pep's new contract as a clear signal to our competitors that no matter what you do, we won't disappear. We'll come back stronger, and just as you say, it won't happen overnight. It took Juventus five seasons to get back to the top, and that's kind of the point—it will take as long as it takes.

But Juventus they were the top dog running the football over there

We all know Manchester City is not a powerhouse club in the Premier League and has little say in the rules and changes made., We also know United are the main power in the Premier League and don't want us building a history better than theirs,

100% if we are found guilty it will finish Manchester City and Sheik Mansour owning the club, they don't just want punishment us, but they want to finish us and make us that little old city again.

Forget the investment and infrastructure or shareholdings because they will be worthless if found guilty
The scariest thing is it could all end overnight and everything would be a major problem: Manchester City would be left penniless and all the money gone.

Yes the stadium will be finished and over 60.000 capacity, but we would never fill it in the championship and the corporate and hospitality would struggle and it would have to be closed because of the cost of running it on match days.

A Guilty Verdict would be a life sentence

Bloody hell you must be a scream at parties!

For my part I think all of that prediction to be untrue.

Why would this Summer be the key? The case has been ongoing since Feb 2023 and for years before. Unfortunately the reason we haven't bought enough is far simpler than the charges

Go on…

I'm not aware of (a) any threat by City to CAS or (b) any other body we could have gone to.

The appeal route from UEFA is to CAS and CAS only. There are narrow grounds to appeal to the Swiss courts following a CAS outcome but they are very specific. This is maybe what you're thinking of. I don't think there's been many appeals though and I also believe there's never been a successful one against a case heard by CAS .

You've got this wrong mate and when people like slbsn are telling you you're wrong then it's best to listen.

Just checked CAS FAQ

Is it possible to appeal against a CAS award ?​

Judicial recourse to the Swiss Federal Tribunal is allowed on a very limited number of grounds, such as lack of jurisdiction, violation of elementary procedural rules (e.g. violation of the right to a fair hearing) or incompatibility with public policy.

He's the CEO of Manchester City. He has both titles. But he actually runs City on a day to day basis and spends most his time at our offices. Roel De Vries runs the day to day at CFG who also spends most of his time in Manchester.

Here's City's entry in the Premier League Handbook which is authored by the Club Secretary at each club:

Here he is being called the CEO in City's accounts

I believe he gets paid by CFG.

have tried a few times but they're all busy

I’d say those sanctions are pretty unlikely

They could do anything they like because this would be a major footballing crime the likes nothing before
The Premier League would have to obey to United and Liverpool and they would want maximum damages

its only in the past couple of months that I have had nightmares about what all this could do to our club.
How could the ownership of the club still be in charge? or should I say would the fans still want them here because we have been lied to,

Also if we are found guilty and forget any appeal, We would be found guilty and that is good enough for the rest of the Premier League job done,

I don't know why, but its just got the feel that something big is going to happen, I don't know why because I am always in the this is all bollocks and we have been cleared by CAS on all of the charges,

But I will always be a Blue and we will be here to pick up the mess and back us in any League
