PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[Cricket Blue]

I am feeling strangly relaxed today , what will be will be a long time off, hope the team will pull together now it is out in the open , pep isnt going anywhere , get singing ironic, abusive songs to the **** journos in the posh seats

We have been through similiar before

I feel so upset and fucked off about it all kaz
I only go for the memory of my dad who passed 5 years ago but do you know what I'm done with it all now it's exhausting
Maybe that's what they wanted all along
Cunts

There must be plenty of experienced KCs who don't have a season ticket at a rival who can gain from the outcome. Why put yourself in the position, if you are the PL, where that can even be mentioned in the public sphere?

Well there's fewer than 2,000 KCs to begin with.

25% of those would be senior enough for this?

How many of those have decades of experience in sport? How many have been deputy high court judges? And how many have spent the last 8 years specialising in arbitration and mediation?


This guy was voted into his position overseeing all disciplinary cases by the 20 PL clubs 3 years ago. That means 19 (including City) were voting for someone who supported another team.

Why do the charges stop in 18/19, what about the last few years?

To be continued!....

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.

So are we saying the rags pay no UK taxes ?

Martin Samuel has written an excellent piece on the subject (He’s left the Mail).
He now writes for The Times. It’s behind a subs wall but they have a flash sale on £1 for 3 months digital access.

Hi Martin.

Here's my naive little blue tinted view of things.....

A few questions. Unless the answer is No to the majority, it is a witch hunt and we should have nothing to answer to:

- Have City added to the success and marketability of the Premier League? I.E. have we helped create value for the League, their Directors, employees, other clubs, etc.?
- Has City's presence been a force for good in the Community?
- Have City generally set an example of how to run a Football Club in a 1st class way?
- Have City been solely or largely responsible for creating an environment in the League where success is impossible without money?
- Has City's way of running the club unfairly affected club staff, young players, coaches or other employees?
- Have City been unethical in their business practices, employment contracts, external Contractor dealings, or in any other way to consistently draw justified criticism?

I could go on and on.

Compared with other big clubs, I don't think any club has contributed more to the excitement of the Premier League, improvements in the Community and forcing other Clubs to look at and improve themselves more than City have.

If we are criminals, where are the victims?

If the premier league are against the idea of an independent regulator then why have we been referred to an independent panel?

Why have the premier league not found us guilty of rule breaking and punished us accordingly? Rather than insinuate we have broke rules?

Why do we need the verdict of an independent panel?

An independent panel would surely only be necessary for any kind of Appeal against the Pls decision in the first instance?

But the ESL would be pushed and run by the same set of ****-clubs trying to destroy us here. So I do not think it would be better.

Worse actually. More **** clubs. At the mo we are being marginalised by english **** clubs. A ESL would comprise of not only english **** clubs but also european **** clubs. And the european **** clubs are probably bigger cunts than the english **** clubs

Another appeal to CAS ?

Can’t appeal to CAS due to having to sign the premier league charter which forbids clubs from appealing to allegations
