PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

Didn’t Liverpool threaten legal action against a journalist who was looking further into the hacking saga? Can’t remember who the journalist was.

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.

They should be to be honest.

I posted a few weeks/months ago (when some journo made a snide remark that we were still under investigation) about how this entire situation is completely unacceptable, not just for City to be in a never ending investigation, but also for our competitors to have credible accusations levelled against us and it never come to a hearing to decide it once and for all.

Their owners are trying to sell the clubs at a time where the major competition has been accused and now charged by the league for getting away with cheating and fraud for 15 years completely unchecked.

Obviously that kind of thing is going to put off potential buyers. If you were looking to invest in a sport you want to know the rules you're accepting are being followed.


We're naturally looking at this entirely from the City POV, but to be honest I'm surprised more people aren't getting angry from the other clubs.

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?

This is the bit that's baffled me. I suppose they started digging deeper after that German rag newspaper started stirring the shit. Didn't somebody say an ex employee has turned whistleblower? As you say they saw nothing wrong every year but suddenly accounts they supposedly passed they are now saying were fraudulent. That's a very serious allegation and if their evidence isn't 100% waterproof would surely leave them open to legal action.

Indeed.
And when City eventually are cleared of all, I fail to see how this doesn't open the Premier league to be sued for all the reputational damage due to all this? especially so if it proved they had no clear case to begin with.

What the PL is doing is all allowed in their handbook of rules that the club signed up to.

There are no grounds for the club to take them to court for damages or anything even when we are cleared.
 
Apologies if this has been posted, but i got sent this link which are apparently the hacked emails from Der Spiegel.

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

So, the basis of this PL investigation is hacked, leaked emails, and stories, which the PL could have investigated years ago.
