PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[dadnlad]

Depends what the settlement is.

we wont take a pinch again it bites you on the arse

 

[The Light Was Yellow Sir]

He knows fuck all, that would mean losing several titles

No it wouldn’t.

 

[kaz7]

I don’t think it does. I think the points would be deducted for which ever season we’d be playing.

Wont it cover the charges years ??

 

[kaz7]

I’m guessing that isn’t a retrospective punishment. I expect it means we start the season after being found guilty on minus points.

Oh right , thanks , i can see them taking titles off us or what is the point of it all, they must know we will bounce back even if relegated

Sometimes less is more. The less we give the more the accusers have to justify.

Ultimately no-one will ever fully know the business model that city uses unless they share it but why would they? How many businesses provide more than what they are legally obligated to provide? City haven't been charged by any authority for any crime except for those levelled by the clowns in the Premier League.

You have to remember that the Premier League oversaw wild spending in the past and did nothing, think Wimbledon, Leeds, Portsmouth etc. It's not hard to argue that the Premier League should be investigating its own role in its ability to police club finances.

If they had added something like "We can assure our fans that we are completely innocent of all charges and your unwaivering support will be behind us all the way as we fight this injustice".

Why do we need this to go to court?

If we have done nothing wrong it should be a fairly quick and easy case to conclude in our favor.

come on no nowt jorden just said city's only tactic is to drag it out as long as possible thats why it's taken4 years to get to this point

 

[meeesh]

Oh by the way, Murray Rosen KC is simply picking the 3 man panel. He's not even necessarily going to be on it.

I'll be eagerly awaiting his call then

As a general rule in English law, courts will strike down contracts, even if freely entered into, if they are unfair or contrary to public policy. See George Eastham and several pop music business cases, for example.
Courts would not, for example, enforce a contact that required someone to break the law, or not enter into a marriage.

Come on, lets be serious. No court will strike down the agreement between MCFC and the PL. These are sophisticated parties with huge legal resources agreeing objectively reasonable clauses.

Anyone think the premier league may offer us a settlement

It’s too late for a settlement since we’re now at war. It was a Cold War for years but now we’ve seen a fully blown escalation of the conflict. Regardless of what happens, the future of the Premier League won’t ever be the same again. The events which are about to unfold will be told in documentaries, have their own Wikipedia page and just generally be documented in the history of English and perhaps European football.

Not only do we have to ultimately win, we have to make sure that there’s no comeback. We have to finish this once and for all so that we don't find ourselves in the same position later down the line.
