PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[slbsn]

True..
But because nobody dares question United accounts they always will get away with it, but allowing £40million in allowances for Covid 19 is crazy when others had been turned down or only claimed around £2 million, other clubs' allowances per week to United is not £2million a week,

Quick Question Stefan...

The Legal fees City has been involved in like the PSR win and Now the 115 charges can City put them in the allowances like United did with the sale of shares, I would like to know how much legal fees City have had over the last season

I think most are outside the key reporting entity and I think excluded anyway. But City have plenty of PSR capacity anyway

Which charges in particular are you worried about - & how worried are you?

Not worried about them but the serious charges allege widespread false accounting for a decade and that many people have conspired. I’m not worried aside from the seriousness of the allegations

if there was any proof would we not have been raided by Greater Manchester Police or HMRC by now and our offices striped of the computers and hard drives, i would have thought it would be the duty of the PL to report to the correct authorities before any in house investigation, if thats correct i can only asume they 'the PL' have nothing to report

No I don’t think that’s a good assumption.

I think most contributors or readers of this thread expect us to be found at least partially guilty at some point.
It’s not how well or not we have adapted to the rules that irks most of us, it is the fact the rules were put in place to hinder City’s progress at the behest of teams that historically mostly have had financial injections of there own.
I am at the point where I will celebrate our innocence or walk away from the game altogether.
The incessant fiddling with the rules, VAR, woke terraces, and the lack of physicality in todays game is all leading me away anyhow, this might just be the final nail for me and many more.

I don’t expect us to be found guilty of anything.

What do you mean by woke terraces?

The charges are clearly serious but at the same time not worth the hassle.

A hacked email has uncovered what exactly?

Fraud? Yes sure. If you want to fraud the footballing world to achieve success, the first thing you do is talk about it in emails. Fucking emails? Hahah.

If we decided to fraud the premier and everyone else. We could do it better than this knowing the risk.

As has been said before, the league could have came after us for 6 legit issues that they wanted answers for not 115/130 hoping that something shows we have played outside the rules.

The main clubs that control the league hate us for making them look stupid and wasteful. Spurs are a perfect example of a club that wastes money to achieve nothing.

The old guard don’t like the new upstart and can’t see anything but loading debt onto clubs to achieve the status quo. How dare mansour not take his cut. He can’t be trusted.

City have not cheated. All this lawyer this and lawyer that does not prove anything apart from how dirty the fight for football has become.

It should never have gotten this far to begin with.

So roll out the 30 barristers and let’s all pretend this is anything other than corporate warfare.

The scale of the allegations of false accounting (fraud) that would have to involve so many people and of course some very respected auditing/accountancy firms has always given me a degree of 'comfort' as I just think there are too many checks and balances in place for this to happen.
I'm more concerned that things like 'non cooperation' may be more in the eye of the beholder and therefore legally less black and white in terms of definition.
