PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

No surprises. Fucking Spurs, lol.

How does he get such valuable insight?

Any chance PL have thrown this over just to get it over with? Pressure from other clubs too much and they don't really care if we win?

I've always felt that an important distinction exists between the rank and file employees at the PL/UEFA and the toxic influences working on behalf of rival clubs. There is a clear link to rival clubs at both organisations. I never felt that City had a bad relationship with Platini or Infantino, and more recently Ceferin. But the need for independent governance has never been more obvious than it is now. Kieran Maguire was on to this very quickly yesterday.

Interesting read. Rational, no hysterical hypotheticals about our death penalty. And not written by a City supporter. Would be good if some of the City supporting media types took note of the content and tone.

Interesting point in the article is that we’re the only club in the top 6 who favours an independent regulator and therefore at odds with the Premier League.

Thanks for sharing and that's a very interesting bit of information and the timing may be very relevant.

Kieran Maguire bucking the current pile on City trend.

Man City 'thrown under the bus' by Premier League in attempt to avoid independent regulator

A football finance expert tells i that the timing of the Premier League announcement was 'as much to do with politics as it is to with Man City'

The media are loving the 100+ charges, like it nails us, “there’s 100+ charges, they must be guilty”. I take some comfort (rightly or wrongly) in there being so many, especially when so many are related to non-compliance. If you had a smoking gun that proved we were guilty of the worst accusations, would you be arsed about City telling you to fuck off in emails?

I’ve counted up and I think the Mancini second contract would constitute 38 breaches out of 101.

The PL want this to drag on, it will be like a black cloud over us, affect new players, and maybe even managers, even if this goes in our favour, we will have years of this... They have plenty of money to fund it, the **** in charge is a gammon faced rag and the all others baying for blood, they are not bothered.

I yearn for simpler days, not so long ago, when everything was Brian Marwood’s fault. I don’t suppose……., no probably not

 

[brazilians hurt]

My usual way of telling the cunts to fuck off just wouldnt have the same repsonse ha.
Im not blase about this but i can pretend

I've absolutely no idea how things like that would work but I'd guess if an independent regulator had been appointed before the charges were levelled at us, they'd have looked at the case to see if there was enough to merit proceeding with it

It does feel like the head of the PL is passing the grenade, so they can tell the red shirts we’ve done what we can, then it’s on the independent regulator to see it through, if you are the inde-rep you don’t want this in your in-tray the first day you start work, it has the ability to undermine you before you get your feet under the table. Wouldn’t be good for us either as they’d probably look to proceed vigorously
