PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

1. Differences between UEFA Rules and Premier League Rules

The Premier League Rules should be a carbon copy of UEFA Rules.

The main difference between the Premier League and UEFA is UEFA have a Statute of Limitations, which limits the availability of evidence to 5 years. The PL do not have that. However, under English Law, most companies have to comply with The Limitations Act 1980. The Limitation Period in England is generally 6 years.

UEFA have rules in regards to where evidence comes from and it can’t come from illegal sources. City qualified several times that the hacked and stolen emails were illegal in the CAS case, but said they would co-operate with defending the allegations regardless. However, if you look at the the PL Handbook, it states that the source of data and evidence is an irrelevance as far as they are concerned. This surely will form part of City’s defence that some (if not all) of the evidence provided by the PL will have come from inappropriate sources (Der Spiegel, Rui Pinto and Football Leaks) and there will be a huge lack of credibility with that evidence.

What takes precedence when 2 contrasting rulebooks (UEFA and PL) have discrepancies or different rules? What takes precedence when European Law regarding limitation periods differs to English Law?

The PL have charged us, it's absolutely nothing to do with UEFA or European law. UEFA had their shot and missed by a country mile.

It doesn't stop them from claiming City fans have been mobilised by the club. If thats true, my call up papers must have gone to the wrong address. This was on the same pod where Max Rushden said he'd recieved huge amounts of abuse for claiming Eddie Howe was disengenous for saying managers shouldnt have to worry about their safety on the touchline considering the club he works for. Rushden said it from the safety of Australia where he's more likely to be eaten by a crocodile than assaulted by a passing geordie. Someone else claimed that journos have started to get abuse inside and outside of some grounds but didn't elaborate which clubs and why the fans were riled up at them. Most probably dippers 'fumin' about the two million charges not being mentioned enough.

We were not cleared by CAS because of the source of the evidence, or time restrictions. Cleared, btw, is the right terminology, not punishment reduced, not ban overturned, cleared. We were cleared because the evidence submitted showed no wrongdoing as alleged by uefa. The time barred charges, were not examined, but there is every chance they too would have been cleared.

This is not about a difference in technicalities between the PL and Uefa processes.

I’m getting increasingly worried about our bribery and corruption dept. letting this drag on so long. They should increase the under the counter payments and bribes and get this done, or hand it over to the kidnap and assassination dept. and let them deal with it.
We‘ll never ruin football forever at this rate.

That is as wrong as wrong can be.

There are undiscovered tribes in the Amazon rain forest who know that City are cheats.
