PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[chaddblue]

You believe everything people say?

Which bit / who are you suggesting I shouldn’t believe?

What news @Ric ?

Seems crazy to have a loaded cache but you never know.

You are coming across genuine @Dodge.

I don’t know.
Sounds Dodge-y to me.

That’s my thinking too. If we’re relying on a voice recording to clear our name then that just screams guilty imo. Or perhaps we don’t have total faith in the independent panel, in other words our fate is the hands of another kangaroo court.

Sometimes you get handed a victory on a plate. Look how all this started…sliced up leaked emails. Taking advantage of smoking gun is not an admission of guilt. Why not use both? Clear ourselves in a tribunal and tell those corrupt cunts that enough is enough with the audio.

That may sound a bit dodgy but is there a rule saying you can’t do that? Is it illegal?
Company I worked for did something similar and were used to protect assets in case the parent company fell into difficulties.
For example, one of them owned the building and rented it back to parent company.

United do it with their training ground. Sold it to an offshore company and now rent Carrington back.

It's not illegal.

You're perfectly entitled to your opinion, but I can assure it is not made up nonsense and I'm old and wise enough to know the difference.

We've been laughed at for decades, so a few more giggles is water off this particular ducks back.

Surely we aren’t asking for charges to be dropped due this fresh unrelated evidence otherwise that’s corrupt.

Fight our own battles & bury every other fucker.

We've had some absurd decisions go against us in the past few weeks, compare that to Liverpool's all season for an example, and it goes back for years, the non penalties in the 2-3 derby when we could have wont it in front of our own fans, far too many blatant penalties not given against us for years.

We usually miss them anyway

Does it really matter if city is guilty or not at this point ? No matter what the city hate is real and we are all aware it will never go away regardless.

I thought city were welcoming the investigation so we could “clear our name once and for all” .. rather than trying to force the PL to back off

To be fair, the OP doesn’t say we aren’t planning to clear our name - he’s saying we have compromising information which would cause the PL serious (existential, you might even say) problems if released, but doesn’t claim he’s been told we’re trying to use this to kibosh the investigation.

I’d imagine if there is any truth in this at all, we want to clear ourselves AND demonstrate the PL is not for for purpose in its current form - clearly something the Club believes strongly in, as we are the only Club backing independent regulation.

This is a power play, and is about striking from a position of strength (a clear name) - not accepting a return to the status quo. We’ve won before, and that didn’t get us anywhere.

You know what they say about the definition of madness!

What's the time barring on blackmail just so I know when I can celebrate all this shit?

It has to go through VAR first

That the club is welcoming an opportunity to clear their name once and for all without doing whatever else they think is necessary to get the outcome they want?
