PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[Ric]

Hope so, Ric. Did your contact at the club give any indication as to how many months/years they expect this cloud to hang over us?

No, just that it won’t be any time soon. Got the impression it’ll be years rather than months.

No. The Liverpool hack was literally ex-City employees who still had access to our database from what I can recall. Pretty amateurish stuff from us, really. Nothing to do with Rui Pinto.

Okay cheers Rick , just clutching at any straws going , but it’s like being given a code for an online bargain- and you pass it to your mates.

I still feel that a heavy fine, mainly for non-cooperation (similar to CAS), is the most likely outcome.

i Think the same, 2 fingers up for non cooperating to a corrupt organisation

Liverpool illegally hacking City’s player database.

Why did City settle on compensation from Liverpool?

The FA, not the PL.

However, English football’s governing body has now confirmed that the disciplinary process has ended with action being deemed unnecessary.

A spokesperson said: “The FA carefully considered the evidence received in this matter, including information provided by both clubs involved, and has decided not to progress the investigation.

“This is due to a number of factors including the age of the alleged concerns and the settlement agreed by the two clubs involved.

It fucking stinks mate doesn’t it ?

W51.7 Means they can give any penalty they want.

The commission may....impose upon the respondent any combination of the foregoing or such other penalty it shall think fit

surely expulsion, stripping of titles etc would be the severest of penalties reserved for only the severest of ‘crimes’ ie match fixing, bribery etc. if they deem expulsion a fit punishment for these accusations then what would be the bar for taking bribes or match fixing? ala Juve?

It would be a farce, if it isn’t already

All this shit heightened when the spiegel shit came out, has anyone considered why we let Liverpool off so lightly with the database hack ? Are City about to blow the lot up ? Keeping our powder dry maybe?

No.

All this talk of going nuclear or burning the lot down etc is just over emotional fan talk.

City didn't burn UEFA down and they won't be doing anything like that with the PL. They also won't be going after any other club.

They will just defend themselves well at the panel hearing and that will be that.

 

[ayrshire_blue]

Not quite. Has to be within their powers. It’s an insanely wide discretion though.

Broad as they come charges, punishable by any means fit between an insanely wide discretion.

Hmmmm.

 

[dennishasdoneit]

When we win the fall out wont be as big as predicted. All at the PL staff involved will be gone, replaced maybe even before the shit starts, if indeed if does.
Cunts at Rags and Dippers will be long gone too.

Too much going on for this to be a planned move by the PL.

Rush job to hit us with charges at 06:30 with certain media friends briefed. Mistakes made by them.

Gov. white paper delayed.

Interest in the Rags finally surfaces a day later and from the Middle East.

Pinto trial starts in April.

It's basically like a 6 part BBC conspiracy fraud drama, it's actually fuckin mental tbh.
No way the PL would have dropped this now without all the other shit going on, desperate move me thinks.
There case would look ridiculous in the Summer when all this other dodgy stuff has played out!

This makes absolute sense.
The fact that they uploaded detai online at 6.30am is laughable...why would you do that ? Had there been an emergency all sunday night meeting just after our damaging defeat to spuds?

The inaccurate,alleged rule breaches which were then removed altered and 're posted smacks of hurried desperation.

You can smell the Pannick my Lord ; )

what about this doozy?

B.6.
Notwithstanding the provisions of Article 14.10, the League may expel a Club from membership upon a special Resolution to that effect being passed by a majority of not less than three-quarters of such members as (being entitled to do so) vote by their representatives or by proxy at a General Meeting of which notice specifying the intention to propose the Resolution has been duly given.

 

[Stiff Little Wingers]

At what point in a game can we have mass booing to show our contempt for the Premier League

I still feel that a heavy fine, mainly for non-cooperation (similar to CAS), is the most likely outcome.

That would be a good outcome
