PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[paulchapo]

It’s almost like they have set the bar high and then decided to charge us with 115 counts in the hope a few might stick.
along with the non cooperation ones which will then be exaggerated by the Simon Jordan’s of this world

I saw a video of that cock saying to a City fan who had phoned in we weren't exonorated by CAS but escaped on the time limit technicality.

The proof they would need could only come from City.

And presumably City would simply refuse to give it to them, making the worst possible charge failure to cooperate.

brilliant mate, love it

Liverpool and FSG will watch the Manchester City investigation with interest

<span id="docs-internal-guid-29b6679d-7fff-f63f-63c0-f688ddd316c9">It has long been known that Manchester City are the subject of a Premier League investigation. Liverpool and FSG may now be privy to some more details.</span>

No surprise that the vermin are keeping a close eye on the case.

I guess submitting fraudulent accounts for the best part of a decade, which is essentially what they’re accusing us of, would fall into that category.

I just don’t see either how we could realistically have done that, or how they would even prove it if we had, given our heavily audited accounts, level of scrutiny etc. It seems an incredibly high bar they’ve set themselves here.

It's bullshit they cant prove any of it.

It's chucking everything in the hope something sticks but it won't but it plays our beautifully for them in the media and for the Red shites.

Having said that, I do manage to get my 10% discount off a pint without always showing my S/T or spending a tenner, the accounting at City is shite ;-)

The people who stole the login and password kept their jobs at Liverpool. Wasn’t one of them promoted? Which respectable business and company would keep staff who have done that? I would have been sacked straightaway.

liverpool fc aren't respectable though, just a bunch of snidey cunts.

Did LFC know they shouldn’t be in there?
Call it what you like. The information/data was knowingly illegally obtained.

What kind if people do they employ and tolerate?When someone does this, you can never trust that they won't do the same to you.

So.

Every season the PL audited our accounts for FFP purposes, etc.
And every season the PL were happy with our accounts and signed them off.
Not picking up on anything incorrect or suspicious.
Then 10 years later the PL, without warning, come up with a list of 101 irregularities in our accounts
if those irregularities exist in 2022, why didn’t they exist previously in every financial year when the PL checked our accounts?
And if they did, why didn’t the PL act on them at the time?

I think the accounts on there own look OK but when they are put along side the hacked emails and stories for football leaks the accounts could look slightly different
That's my view on what's gone on

 

[John Wayne]

Or didn’t have a crystal ball.

There's no way a seven-figure settlement for hacking doesn't get discussed at board level. It will have been a collective decision taken after a thorough examination of facts and the consequences, agreed with the club's lawyers. Nobody could have legislated for a scenario whereby it could have become a material issue a decade later.

 

[argyle]

If the case is not proved however, we should absolutely wipe out the PL. Destroy it from the ground upwards, and take the lead on creating a new league and infrastructure.

For your own sanity you need to severely lower your expectations.

Nothing like this will happen.

We're just defending ourselves to the best of the clubs ability in a Premier League inquiry. That's it.

 

[ysmsa]

If we had this information then we could easily get them to back off a long time before we were charged.

Again, that's possibly why they've gone early with it.

Trying to piss on our dry powder!

I don't think a bit of piss will have any effect on Nuclear though!
