PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[spider blue]

Has a commercial solicitor even been charged with perverting the course of justice in association with civil disclosure?

I’d say it’s fairly widespread as a practise. Think there’s huge levels of Nelsonian blindness around disclosure. As long as the protagonists have plausible deniability, they are pretty bomb proof.

That’s too low a bar from an enforcement perspective.

If I understood any of that post, I would totally agree.

I’m not mad at them at all. The opposite in fact. You can’t tell me due to past success that the top brass hasn’t taken their eye off the ball when it comes to city.

People get complacent all the time no what what sector they work in.

The group that includeds Khaldoon, Soriano, Txiki, Pep and anyone else decided this squad was good enough to win the league again and obtain top 4.

Clearly they have gotten this one wrong. Last season we barely got over the line. Form towards the end nosedived with a cup loss to the rags.

This is not an attack but a fact the decisions made have been wrong.

As fans we make decisions on emotions and I would say nearly everyone of us was delighted with the squad going into the season. However, we are fans and only see glimpses of what is going on.

Those who do make the decision made a hash this time around. We got to comfortable, too much patting ourselves on the back and didn’t do what was needed last summer.

The club is run fantastic in some aspects. Recruitment has been poor now for a few seasons. Collectively they have all failed to keep us top.

Barely got over the line? We lost on 6th December 2023 and then…er….didn’t lose a single league game.

Practice.

We literally finished with the longest unbeaten league run in club history and the longest unbeaten run in CL history.

We won our last 9 league games.

A lot of those games towards the end were a struggle imo. We might have won but we laboured which ended in throwing an fa cup.

What worries me the most is that Rui Pinto’s lawyer said, “the decision in the UK could be helpful for him in his defence,” and that he’s handed over more documents and data about European clubs – including stuff connected to the City case.

Yeah, and I could be winning the lottery jackpot on Christmas night. He doesn't seem supremely confident.

There will come a point that everybody will be answerable for their actions. Whether that he us, as a club, or them, as the PL. It will all come about, from Red tops to our own.

The question is, which side are you on?

its very much time to find out the panel's decision. this hanging over us since years is awful. if we are innocent PL have lot to answer for how this could have happened and media portray us so badly for years during our golden period.
if we did commit fraud on this extreme level what the charges say faking information and lying to auditors all along, everything needs to pinned on Berrada lol. but seriously there will be high level victims for this in this case in the club.


still find it strange originally I think Master said the Chelsea case will be handled quicker of their historical but self admitted crimes, yet nothing is done on that case, neither the media is making a story of all this.
imagine it was an ownership change at City and new owner would self report some dodgy thing they found in the accounts from 5 years ago. media would not be so silent as they are with Chelsea.

btw when we should find out about the PSR failures of the most recent period (up to th end of season 23/24 accounts)? wasnt it around this time last season when Everton got their first 10 points punishment.
or if we dont hear it does that mean not one single club failed it?

Then why havent they gone to the newspapers? They would be handsomly rewarded with that scoop

Because it's a pile of horseshit... : )

Am I being stupid ( probably), but how can someone being banged up in a cell for several years have access to data and documents and to continue to hand over data that’s been hacked illegally and still have a remit to publish what he’s been arrested for in the first place?
