PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[chickaroon]

There’s a difference between being innocent and proving your innocence, though.

We dint have to prove our innocence, they have to prove our guilt.

Aren’t adults supposed to have 32 teeth in total, not per row?

What a ****, put in her place and this is her hitting back, lame as fuck

Good god I thought that Thunderbirds were no longer on the telly ! She is defo a puppet !

Was the time barred stuff serious breaches?

No, City wanted to produce evidence to prove our innocence from that period but CAS didn't allow it because it was too far back and time barred. The media have made out that we only got away with it because it was time barred. This PL investigation doesn't have a time bar so City can produce the evidence to prove our innocence and this is what the club statement was referring to when it said that we can now get the opportunity to prove it.

I'm legit starting to think, given the coverage and narrative that has formed around "well connected" sources, that a good chunk of the premier league have bought into the "time barred technicalities" argument and that's all they're going with at this trial.

I was once told by a good barrister friend of mine “never confuse incompetence with strategy and tactics.” That could very easily be what is going on here. The number of times I have Faced well known and ostensibly very experienced legal professionals and thought “what are they trying to achieve with this strategy?” It seemed ridiculous and without good reason but was being run. It was just incompetence…

One thing I find strange is no-one has identified precisely as far as I am aware who were the people investigating City. Were they the lawyers or finance people from the PL or outside investigators. Have the lawyers of the PL who also the lawyers to Arsenal and provide counsel to Tottenham vetted the process. We at least knew who we were dealing with at UEFA but this process has been shrouded in secrecy

So we must have handed stuff over then ? I don’t think a quick scan of companies house quite cuts the mustard ?

 

[chesterguy]

Also I am right in thinking that fraud has to be part of the PL statement as if it isnt then everything past 6 years is time-barred. Does that also mean then that the level of proof that the PL have to provide is significantly higher?

Probably the same cunts who were on VAR for the derby.
