PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

coolcity said:
My thoughts exactly. In fact I've just said the same thing re. Chelsea and united. Chelsea most certainly haven't earned £400m in the past year and as you say, united owe millions so they shouldn't be able to spend anything, so what the fuck is going on?

If we haven't been co-operating then where do they have the information from to charge us with anything?

Some still don’t understand ffp! Chelsea will be judged in 2/3 years in that time they could not spend another penny and sell 10 players get new sponsors and be fine regarding ffp! Like say they’ll be judge later if there in trouble or not!

Win, win for us really. If we got booted out the PL I would look forward to the new fixtures, lower ticket prices, tourists funking off and enjoying a better atmosphere at home.

Meanwhile back in the PL, those thick NUFC, Everton, Brentford, Brighton, Spurs fans who are currently laughing at our predicament will have to face a PL dominance from Yoonited, Gooner, Red dippers and Chelsea again with no competition from anybody else thanks to FFP and the PL cartel.

Something is being worked on for Sunday. I'm not going to disclose any details though

Straightforward cases take years to get to a High Court hearing. We have to go through several processes before we even need to start anything in the High Court, and each process needs to look at, potentially, a decades worth of leaks; filing cabinets full of documents; reams of legal arguments.
If there is no compromise, I'd strap yourself in for a good 7 - 10 years. And the good news is that, if we lose there, we'll almost certainly be going to the Supreme Court for an appeal.
City can afford all that. Pretty expensive for the Premier League though. It'll cost many a million before we're done.
Better get used to it!

Ok.. but would the punishment be suspended until we’d exhausted all these routes?

This stinks of the corrupt, unhealthy and monopolising influence of United, Liverpool, Arsenal, Spurs and Chelsea have on the PL. FFP is there only to protect their interests, not to keep a "level playing field" as they continually try to fob us off with. Maybe they (the PL) should look at the aforementioned clubs debts before slinging the shit at us. We do not owe hundreds of millions, we are not taking money out of the club to line our own pockets. Those clubs need to put their own house in order before crying foul.

If they took four years to charge us, why wait all that time? If the first "offence" took place over 14 years ago, shouldn't we have been hauled up then, not now?

Perhaps we haven't greased the palms of the PL board and not given them backhanders which I feel other clubs have done to cover up their shady dealings. The PL board is BENT, no other word for it and we haven't played ball with them and they don't like it.

This

Being trying to that into words ! You did it better than me :)
 
Of course, now no-one is talking about how shit Liverpool are and how much of a shit Mr Greenwood is - allegedly.
 
This is one of the things I hate about football now....

I'm a fan. Not s fucking account. Not a lawyer. I don't give a fuck how we spend or how much. I go to games, sing and shout and try and have some banter with the opposition.

But now it becomes a complex geo political conversation that most other fans just having done the thinking around. It's a joyless position to be in as a fan.

No we have to get behind the players. Who are probably also thinking wtf is going on. And if the shit hits the fan I'm safe in the knowledge that wel still be there next season. Can't say the same about most of those players!

Rotten situation as a fan, I just want to watch my team !

I was more than happy when UEFA tried to ban us as I wanted to see us have it out with UEFA in court.

I'm now more than happy to see the Prem having a go after the last four years of the trickle of 'We're coming for you City'. Bring it on - see you in court Premier League.

Oh, and while we're at it, ask UEFA and the Prem to examine Chelsea's colossal spending and United's splurge of cash despite owing hundreds of millions.

Agreed. This is what pisses me off even more, why are those rag cunts never under scrutiny?

And as for the chavs, where did that half billion suddenly come from, was that earned or did their owners just dip into their offshore funds for that?

IF you get hit by a truck, you may/probably will want to know from a Doctor if you are going to be ok and what the prognosis might be. You are unlikely to lie back and "let nature take its course". Well, most people wouldn't.

Once you know what the injuries are. At the minute we are just asking doctors how will I be if I get hit by a truck?

I may be doing you a disservice here and I don't want to. Do you know the details in the accounts we provided that apparently led to the accounts not giving a true and fair view?

I think my comments were taken for what they were - a qualified analysis of what happens IF the breaches are PROVEN. I can see other fans being giddy at that but my approach is not to sugar coat it mainly for City fans who are entitled to understand the situation if they want to where the club is unable to explain things. Harris published my piece in August 2021 which put City's side (and explained things then (transpired to be a decent analysis)) and I don't think he hides his view. He doesn't need my ammunition.

He'll take it anyway, mate, gladly.

Without wishing for it to read disrespectful, what you Tweeted was hardly groundbreaking? I don't think anybody is under any illusion, whatsoever, the Premier League would seek to impose the heaviest of punishments.

My disappointment was your own viewpoint that we should be relegated if found guilty?

Personally, I find that hard to digest and a delicious tap-in for people such as Harris, who only gave you the right of redress after previously dismissing you and other Blue Moon informed posters as deranged.

We all have a different moral compass. I have nothing but respect for how City do business and the hoops and hurdles they have had to jump through to simply exist as a successful entity.

They are, in effect, claiming City deceived the PL, their auditors and multiple other bodies and filed fake accounts and fake financial forecasts. For at least 9 years. That's the extraordinary allegation.

I still find it difficult to comprehend what happened yesterday. At a stroke, the PL have accused us of the most serious corporate crimes, false accounting over a prolonged period. In layman’s terms, they have alleged that our board are systemic cheats and criminals.

The legal process will take fucking years to sort this out and all the time with that label hanging over our head with all of the implications that has for future sponsors and transfer activity And winning of trophies. We may win at the high court in 10 years time but what damage will we have sustained by then.

If our case is rock steady can we not take action against the PL now for defamation and a blatant serious and sustained attack on our club? Can we take action against members of the PL board as individuals. I would like us to be ultra aggressive with the media. If they report any of this other than they are unproven allegations then go for their throats. We have taken a passive and forgiving stance throughout this war and look where it has got us.

I cannot see how things can go back to ‘normal’ after this.

The DT this morning, and presumably the rest of the RDAHMeedya, are talking of expulsion. It's what they want, it's what anyone outside MCFC who govern the sport and compete within the league have always wanted ever since we 'deprived' their chosen, preferred and anointed clubs of a trophy. The £250k fine for 'trespassing' on our own pitch at the end of last season was just the tiddler, the opener, the peccadillo to what they really want.

As for stripping us of titles, it won't matter one jot - we know what we saw!

It’s funny isn’t it that last week we had fans of the Dippers & Rags telling everyone that they are part of the fabric of society & the safety of their club needs government intervention.

Meanwhile likkle Citeh should be expelled.

I hope we go fucking nuclear & expose everything we know.
