PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[JackM]

Judging from our transfer market action and Harland new contract it looks like we know the outcome of the charges, and they are in our favour.

Even more telling was the PL decision not to punish any club in the latest PSR checks.

I would predict once we are cleared on 115 that all PSR/Financial checks will be scrapped in the PL completely.

350M stadium investment, 9.5 yr Haaland contract and going into the January market like a club possesed are signs that the monkey on our shoulder is long gone.

We have has an incredible ride since the Sheik took over in 2008 and I get the feeling we have seen nothing yet.

Next time you’re in the ground look at the sign above the seats on the north stand extension. “Something special is coming” I for one believe them!

Yep, Conference winners, followed by League 2, League 1, Championship, then Premier League champs in consecutive seasons

If there's not supposed to be a decision until March, how can anyone at the club already know the outcome though?
Are they just confident or do they get given the verdict months before anyone else?

I preferred ker plunk as a kid but at least we know what he does in his spare time.

Probably supremely confident due to the panel regularly saying to the PL lawyers "Have you got any actual evidence to support this case?"

Evidence? Who needs evidence? 115 says we must be guilty ipso facto.

The top brass at City will know something by now guaranteed

Even though the full report may not have been released yet, I think it was @slbsn who said that lawyers on both sides would now have a strong idea of the outcome. Naturally, they will be bound by confidentiality at this stage in terms of any media output.

It would be very difficult to understand the club placing themselves at financial risk with purchases of the scale we are witnessing, and contracts of this nature. Of course, the owners have huge pockets, but they are bound by financial controls within the game. Even with a decision to come, and a likely period for appeals and/or 'getting the house in order', it is hard to envisage taking nearly 200m of risk at this time without some indication of future status.

All this talk of PSR being scrapped. Well I for one hope the fuck it's not. Why should the rag cunts be let off the hook now it's affecting them, they voted for it. Fuck em all.

If it is scrapped now, with it currently appearing to be stifling United, it will be categoric proof (if ever it were needed) that it was only ever a mechanism designed to protect the red cartel.
