PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[Blue Tooth]

Only this.

"The Club welcomes the review of this matter by an independent Commission, to impartially consider the comprehensive body of irrefutable evidence that exists in support of its position."

 

[MCFC1993]

City are pretty much saying 'bring it on, we've provided the evidence you asked for, an impartial judge will side with us'.

Short and to the point.

 

[BringBackSwales]

IF we are guilty, and IF we are subject to the same degree of scrutiny as other clubs, then we have to take our punishment. I find it hard to believe we are that bad, but if we are then we’ve got to take it; if we aren’t then we need to respond and react very professionally and very aggressively.

If we knew this was coming we should have strengthened the squad massively like Chelsea did.

 

[MillionMilesAway]

Irrefutable evidence wording again used.

I thought it was a good statement, as it was never going to have detail.

Surprise... welcome the opportunity... but not attacking/criticising directly.
Struck me as being a fairly confident response, although I guess the alternative would be untihinkable in big business.

 

[pavelsrnicek]

The PL has been under pressure for years from certain members to charge us. Now they finally have but just before a white paper on independent football regulator seems suspiciously timed.

Part of me thinks we’re in deep trouble due to the sheer volume of charges. Part of me thinks that the sheer volume of charges is the PL throwing enough crap at the wall hoping some sticks.

 

[Brad mcfc]

Well that statement has perked me up a bit.

Fuck united, fuck liverpool, fuck arsenal, fuck spurs, fuck the league, fuck uefa, fuck fifa, fuck the media... fuck the whole fucking lot of them

You forgot Fergie ;-)

 

[hilts]

If city is deducted points, Chelsea should be relegated.

Why you trying to fuck over my new and old team?

 

[Tb1981]

Timing is everything.

Guess which clubs are currently trying to attract a buyer...

Arsenal used to pay image rights off shore going all the way back to Henry.

They have thrown everything at the wall to ensure something will stick and a punishment forthcoming.

If I had to guess, they will include a massive fine, points deduction (for next season) and a longer transfer ban.

They want us out of business, and now making the Champions League will be a part of that.

Note most of our titles (especially close ones to Liverpool) won’t be relevant.
It’s purely a mud slinging exercise by yanks.
What about Chelsea!!!

 

[SuperSilva21]

This looks to me like it's been thrown together, as far as I can see there's no rule 15, 16 or 3? so does that mean they are charging us with rules that actually don't exist?

 

[Sky Blue]

Let's have it fuckers.

 

[Claytop]

Yeah, K.20 is about player image rights, not the grass length as some are incorrectly saying.

Sorry just couldn't see it on those screenshots unless I missed it.

 

[BlueMoonday]

Quite clear that the PL don't like owners with dark skin and aren't welcome in the PL. Fuck the Yank loving c*nts that is the PL

 

[meeesh]

We need to stand our ground,and no doubt will fight the alleged charges,but as for going for them,where will that leave us realistically,if and when we win,we can't be involved with the PL going forward surely ?

Super league beckons once again,as I know a famous team from Italy that'll be eager to talk with us

 

[Dr Jacoby]

Arteta’s been on the blower.

 

[RayCTID]

I really hate the Premier League. It is reassuring the Club has this covered

 

[Blu1]

Let’s hope we beat this lot then actually start to call out the names & take legal action ourself. Enough is enough City.

 

[Johnny Mars Bar]

Nobody on here knows diddly-squat. So should refrain from commenting.

If everyone stopped talking bollocks on here it'd be a very quiet place.

 

[dronefromsector7G]

The club seem confident - still a fucking ball ache even if we win an appeal
