PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[Corky]

The SPL clubs participated in a vote to throw Rangers out of the premier league. When that was achieved the lower leagues then voted to have us relegated to the bottom tier of Scottish football.If you are actually denying this happened, then you are not worth bothering with.

We never played in the scottish league, wrong team.

All you have to say to any dippers we may get relegated but it dosent come close to murdering 39 Italians...

So CAS cleared us of most of the charges from UEFA, but we are still guilty. How would Liverpoo fans like it if we said Hillsborough was still the fans fault following the outcome of the inquiry?

You're going on block now, purely because you can't stop yourself from chatting shit even on a thread such as this. I'd recommend you stop dragging City's name into a situation which is absolutely nothing like the same. You know what happened, don't pull the wool over everyone else's eyes. Enjoy your night.

If the club was punished, fans should sue the league for not protecting them since day 1.


The league allowed Abu Dhabi to purchase the club, and then they changed the rule of the game with their financial unfair play rule

If there was any suspicious dealing, that should have been resolved after releasing their 1st financial statements.

Checks and investigations should be addressed and resolved in summer before the beginning of new season



The Premier league lack of action at the right time has cost fans money & time.

I think they announced their investigation at the same time(the investigation lasted 4-5years). The reason both UEFA and PL were able to launch one was that the email leaks were of public interest. They need a valid reason to launch an investigation. They had one with the hacking scandal and maybe with the failing FFP and the Stanley Park business. They didn't and they wouldn't no matter what excuse they've found to justify it. They would never go after the big sly 3.

To quote the scousers and Carragher: "Why would they be worried about that, let them have unlimited access to the clubs accounts, confidential data, emails and such and see what else they can find(fishing expedition). I yer innocent you shouldn't be worried. ;)" Isn't that one of the most stupid and naive arguments they trot out btw?

Because we all know that Scousers are keen advocates of due process, law and order and authority by their very nature.

Why did this Portuguese guy, pick us to hack, do you think. Was he asked too?

The footy leaks cache was one of the biggest hacks of all time with at least 70 million documents stolen. Rui Pinto was orignally going after Benfica and Sporting Lisbon. The documents include lots of damaging allegations against Spanish Clubs. It included the Ronaldo rape allegations and FFP breaches by PSG for starters
The best question for me is why did the English media use it to launch a withchunt against City based on 5/6 emails when there were so many other great stories to run. There are still millions of documents which have never been published. Perhaps because other clubs paid up after the blackmail demands. City were probably collateral damage.
Pinto claims he got the idea from chatting to his pals in a pub in Porto. That was part of his absurd evidence.
Meanwhile Pinto is waiting for the court verdict in April which could send him to jail for a long time. The court case of course has been ignored by the English media.

As others have said this is much bigger because they are saying we committed financial fraud for nine years, as PR said that’s huge!
If they decide we are fraudsters then I am sure that’s where we go nuclear out of necessity. Some who know better than me say legal action is not an option but to be found guilty of fraud over such a period is off the scale. They have entered uncharted waters and could be it blows up in their faces. Let’s hope so.

I'm getting that feeling too. The way they've gone about it, the amount of charges, it does seem ott, almost like they're trying to achieve something else instead.

But we'll see. Someone is going to lose big.
