PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

1st - City wont accept a single charge that isnt deserved. We've learnt from that in the past. But I am not sure what makes you think it would pay City to accept them? And I am not sure we want to give the PL a way out tbh. ITs all out war.

2 - Its already all out war. There's a massive amount of bad feeling from the PL, which confuses me tbh. The PL seem to have gone out of their way to make this as ugly as possible. Leaks, the amount of charges, statements they have made, etc. Usually the organisation would lay the charges and let things take their course.... This whole process has been poisonous from the start. Makes me feel like we are fighting our rivals, not the organisation given the amount of poison that has come from them.

Our rivals are fighting us ,our owners, our business accumen, CFG & our success.

They hate us and are still trying to destroy us.

The PL/Masters are the instrument of destruction.

I think it's clear, to me at least, that the club has treated this as a hostile investigation and has caused as much "trouble" for the PL as it could. Probably rightly. Imho.

How can anyone think the way the Prem have gone about this is anything but hostile? IMHO, it's been excessive, relentless, and quite indicative of the way one would deal with an enemy. Putting my City bias aside I find it to be distasteful and disingenuous the way the league has decided to deal with one of its marquee members. In a normal business world this makes absolute zero sense being that City are a successful partner in the PL.

I'm not saying we should be above any rules but this seems to go way beyond that. The Prem have basically walked this to the very edge of the cliff, to a point of no return and to what end? The destruction of a member club that has grown into a global brand and played a large role in the league's own popularity. A collapse of ongoing business alliances with the UAE that extend well beyond football. Or the Prem being made to look like incompetent, petty, buffoons acting at the whim of a small core of owners concerned only with their own self-serving interests.

With all due respect to Stefan and the others here trying to make some sense of this I find it to be a circus. An absolute shit show of dubious merit that's brought the league to an absolutely no-win situation. Does anyone really believe that if the Prem are able to cook us it's a "win" for the league? Anyone with an ounce of business acumen knows this would be a self-inflicted, short sighted mortal wound in the long term.

I'm at a point where even if we were to be cleared 100% of all the charges would I want to be playing in a league that has tried to destroy us full stop. It's a monumental disgrace from a league perspective as well as the relentless smear campaign by both the mainstream media, social media "pundits" and oppo supporters choking on their own bitter hate.

As had been said before. “CLEAR AND OBVIOUS “.

But, but, but according to "Carra" bringing in some of the best players ever seen and Pep has added nothing of any real value to football in this country and it would only hurt us if we were expelled not the PL itself. The fact that the PL's most successful commercial period coincides with ours is just a complete coincidence.
