PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[johnnytapia]

I know this much, it’s concerning, as so I’d give 50 quid right now to make this fuck off.

I’d give £50 too (and a quick fifty to Mancini on the side).

As said yesterday I hope the reason we have been so passive on the media attacks on our club was not for reasons of fear.

Not at all...do you mean lying down in hopes of them not spilling the beans on us? C'mon Keep, what media have you been watching over the past 15 years? Those MFers would be tripping over themselves to dish any dirt on us no matter how low we laid. They do it now with made up stuff...imagine if they had something real...chill my man, we got this...

I just can’t see them stripping us of our titles, even if they did find us guilty (and that’s a very big if at the moment). It would too messy, complicated and excessive.

Agreed. IF any punishments are imposed then they won't likely be retrospective. Far too complicated to untangle. I'm not even sure relegation is on the cards. I think points deduction, fines and transfer embargoes are probably the scope and limit of any sanctions.

Carragher simply hasn't read the details. I'm not sure he's read the Der Spiegel report. I'm not convinced, deep down, he understand the accusations. I don't think he read and/or understood the CAS report, or what the time barred really meant.

Obviously - obviously - City have taken advantage of their links with commercial partners attached to the club. Like United, like Leicester, like Bayern, like Stoke, like Juventus like [insert a dozen other football clubs]. But obviously those links are mutually beneficial for those sponsors. But City are the most successful club in England over the last decade, are on TV more regularly than anyone, and have exploited emerging commercial markets in creative ways as you would expect directors who are at the cutting edge of European football. Txiki Begiristain proposed all this at Barcelona, and the dinosaurs there saw him off for it, so he took the template and brought it to rainy Manchester cos he'd figured out business plans and football plans that the rest of European football are now trying to copy. Carragher still seems to think that Real Madrid should be top of the table because they sell more shirts and have more Facebook followers. Well, if Spurs made £442.8m, having not won a trophy in a decade while in the UEFA conference league, why shouldn't City have made £619.1m winning the league and getting to the semi finals of the CL? That sounds about right to me.

Maybe he can't read.

There’s more cunts on that list than the last copy of Razzle I, er, ahem, found.

You know the rules
;-)

I have just emailed the new sports minister to urge her to produce the White Paper on football governance and recommended her to have a word with Martin Samuel's for a unbiased opinion. Let's hope she acts quickly.

If we get enough signatures, rhe government have to respond.

If we can get a partition with enough signatures, we can put our case.

Too many barriers mate ;)

 

[chickaroon]

If we had a petition and got 100,000 signatures does it not have to be debated in Parliament, anyone in the know on this ?

You are right.

Think the P.L want a partition

Nothing could possibly strip me of the elation of winning the league in 2012 or any of the other leagues, cups etc.
So even if they did, we've all lived through it and they'll never take that away.
