PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[Stoned Rose]

Don’t know if anyone has said but I used to have a shred of respect for True Geordie, biggest game of the season Arsenal vs City and he has no city fan on. Show has gone down hill for various reasons… brings on Craig from Anfield “AGENDA”. No city fan to talk about charges while, they talk with absolutely no idea what they’re on about, this well I’m not gonna say what Craig is I think we all know, abysmal.

The level of mental illness there is actually really sad to see.

 

[Norbiton]

Well yes, but I haven’t been in a meeting with unauthorised eavesdroppers or gatecrashers. As far as I know.

@M18CTID - appreciate your comments (and the character verification!).

When I was told this yesterday, I reacted in the way most on here have. A mixture of disbelief and laughter if I'm honest. After 40 years of supporting City and hearing every conceivable terrace conspiracy theory known to man, it was going to be filed with the rest, but when it became obvious that the guy I was talking to was deadly serious and there was more to this than a simple conspiracy theory, I started to take an interest. He mentioned a couple of names who could "verify" his claims, one of whom I spoke to and I was told exactly the same thing. I'm also aware that a reasonably well known City twitter account has the same information. I'm not some wet behind the ears snotty-nosed kid, I'm what is commonly known on these pages as an FOC. A typical Mancunian cynic in all things in life, don't seek the limelight and I'm generally apathetic to stuff like this. However, in MY opinion, there is substance to this and anyone who thinks it isn't possible that such a conversation took place (and was recorded) is living in the dark ages.

Anyway, I just want to clarify a couple of things:

There's a very big difference between blackmail and leverage.
The recording wasn't obtained by surreptitious means in any way linked to the Club, whether that be by Middle Eastern special forces, Chinese weather balloons or MI5. It has been handed to the club by a third party.
The intervening "voice" on the recording was not part of the matchday on field team, not a member of the VAR team and not the matchday commander.
The on field referee received an instruction from the intervening voice, who allegedly used the phrase "levelling up".
The "dossier" I mentioned in my original email is my take on things, I have not suggested that the club has one, I'm simply expressing my opinion, although I'd be amazed if they didn't have one.
The club who have distanced themselves from the Nasty 9 is Burnley.

By posting what I did yesterday, I knew I was potentially setting myself up to be a laughing stock, accused of being a raving lunatic, a complete & utter fantasist. My PM's cover all those bases, trust me. Each to their own, I've got broad shoulders. But ask yourself this...why would a perfectly normal, regular Joe City fan, put himself through the ringer like this, if he wasn't confident in the information he was given?

Yes, it could be bullshit, but then again, it could very well be true. There's many, many scandals over the years that were scarcely believable at the time. Scandals that would never have seen the light of day but for the meanderings of some FOC on a faceless platform.

Is football in this country as squeaky clean as they'd have you believe? Yeah....right, sure it is.

The truth will out.

Up the fucking Blues.

That puts the cat amongst the pigeons. I had discounted this tale until now. In my own mind I concluded that the only way for this to be true was if the conversation included words such as “you know the instructions, rule against City as often as you can.” Wow, and there the words are.
Who gave instructions to level up?

 

[blue ranger]

So you're claiming City are blackmailing the PL into backing off?

Well it certainly didn’t work last night with the dodgy pen arsenal got and most other decisions.

 

[waspish]

im not brilliant with tech, but if you had 5 million emails on your data base ,if you typed in the words manchester city in your search tool that would bring up the emails you were looking at, someone has got hold of the guy that hacked all those things and asked him to search for our emails, hes been put up to it, and it wouldn't surprise me if he got paid to do it, be nice in his trial if it came out

Don’t think it works that way when you hack someone you receive it in different format I believe!

 

[M18CTID]

His past would tell you he’s no Robin Hood he’s a dirty extorting scoundrel who the media have miscast for their own purposes.

In any case, we do not want items to be declared out of time as that just leaves them hanging.

No. Regardless of what City say, they want the case as tight as possible.

No. Regardless of what City say, they want the case as tight as possible.

I suspect there may be a difference between what the club’s execs would like and the legal advice. Advice will prevail.

Don't knock Conspiracy theorists, they've got a lot of stuff 100% correct in the past 3 years.

There's been a few of the usual suspects (Tanja(sp), Delaney et al) who have been lauding him for being a whistle-blower, I wonder if they'll just pretend it never happened or if they'll backtrack?
