(b) for Season 2019/20, Premier League Rules B.16, B.19, W.1, W.2, W.12 and W.13;

For someone who is a bit thick (me) does anyone know what we have actually been charged with?
I am a bit concerned because in september 1978 just oustside the kippax stand I found 50p on the floor which I just put in my pocket & didnt tell anyone, do you think I might be in trouble from the FA?

Conclusion​

Commissions are independent of the Premier League and member clubs. The members of the Commission will be appointed by the independent Chair of the Premier League Judicial Panel, in accordance with Premier League Rules W.19, W.20 and W.26.

The proceedings before the Commission will, in accordance with Premier League Rule W.82, be confidential and heard in private. Under Premier League Rule W.82.2, the Commission’s final award will be published on the Premier League’s website.

This confirmation is made in accordance with Premier League Rule W.82.1. The Premier League will be making no further comment in respect of this matter until further notice.

The final part of the Premier League’s statement is easier to understand and outlines the next steps.

The statement makes clear the members of the commission will be appointed by the Premier League’s judicial panel — which has 15 members and an appeal panel of six members, to adjudicate disciplinary cases referred to it.

Rules W.19, W.20 and W.26. are again referred to. The latter refers to the chair of the judicial panel being expected to appoint a commission to hear the complaint “as soon as reasonably practical”.

This is all for just Section 1 of the PL Statement

(d) for Season 2012/13, Premier League Rules 16, E.3, E.4, E.11 and E.12;
Rules E.3 and E.4 relate to the submission of the club’s most recent annual accounts, including a balance sheet, a breakdown of profit and loss and revenue streams.

Rules E.11 and E.12, meanwhile, refer to the club’s financial projections, again including profit and loss, cash flow and balance sheets.

(e) for Season 2013/14, Premier League Rules 15, E.3, E.4, E.11, E.12 and E.49;

Same as above
(h) for Season 2016/17, Premier League Rules16, E.3, E.4, E.11, E.12 and E.51; and

(i) for Season 2017/18, Premier League Rules B.16, 3, E.4, E.11, E.12 and E.51.
Rule B.16 again refers to acting in “the utmost good faith” in matters between City, the Premier League and other clubs.

All we have achieved is 4 PL titles out of the last 5 years, the best football the league has ever seen and led to rivals throwing mud at us from a large distance.

The club were confidence with the UEFA charges, they are confidence with the PL charges - trust them.

Don't conflate what i am saying with footballing success, you're fully aware what I was talking about. At no point have I said or intimated I don't trust the club, I have been and remain, critical of the manner in which we have failed to respond to years of unsubstantiated rumour-mongering, false reporting, libellous and slanderous comments and institutional bias (if not racism).

People don't realise at this stage it isn't related to football anymore. It's political geopolitical. You have investors from UAE USA and other countries. Relationships can get ruined and this is the moment it can happen and irrespective of party, dont think the current UK heads will allow this investment opportunity get derailed.

**During the trip, Shapps, who came to Abu Dhabi from Riyadh, met with senior business figures including Khaldoon al-Mubarak, chief executive of Mubadala. “We are ready to get back on track,” said a spokesperson from the state investment firm.**

UAE is going to have massive investments in UK as mentioned here https://www.ft.com/content/04dd14bf-66c3-434c-b21e-505d222a5d68


Wouldn't be surprised if our owner, Khaldoon probably haven't talked to someone in Govt already

It's a 4 year long investigation, so they might have former players, managers and agents who have given statements to explain how they ended up with more money in their accounts, than what the club officially offered up to the investigation. A third party company that pays players and managers under the table for image rights, commercial bonuses etc etc...

They seem very confident of the facts around the Mancini payments. So if the club are saying that he was paid 4 million, but the bank of Zurich are saying 8 million, then there is clear proof that stuff has been going on off the books. And that is just one manager. When you consider all of the players who have come and gone in the last 14 seasons, then the scale of it starts to make your knees knock.
