PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[Man_City_Loyal]

Didn't the whole team go up there for a post season bash when Bobby was manager?

yep, Vinny said this to Gary Neville on his show

 

[pudge]

Doubtful such a thing gets casually leaked on twatter, especially with the time frame folk are talking about.

Although I do believe it'll be a non-cooperation slap on the wrist and foaming at the mouth from "neutrals" in the end.

 

[Man_City_Loyal]

hope this is true

 

[I'm Blue]

As much as I’d love to believe this, there’s a 99% probability that it’s bullshit.
Though if it’s true I cannot wait for the meltdown : )

 

[Gorton_Tubster]

yup probably 99% bullshit.

Not sure I like suspended sentence anyway. Doesnt even sound right.

 

[I'm Blue]

I’d take a suspended sentence just for the piss boiling

Personally mate I’d take a “slap on the wrist” provided it was explicitly linked to past (pre2018) non-cooperation.
It all sounds a bit too good to be true.

 

[Andouble]

It’s what I want to hear therefore I will believe it’s true

 

[Thaksinssoldier]

Why it sounds plausible is because the PL desperately need to come away from this saving face. So if they found nothing they may use “failure to cooperate” as reasoning to slap us on the wrist. City won’t care, but the top brass at PL won’t have to face public ridicule.

 

[Brightwell Bros.]

The pinch of salt here is that even if there is an ITK this is just coming from inside the club rather than a leaked sentence. It's reiterating what we already know the club think about the charges based on how they defended themselves at CAS and what they've been saying publicly about their own confidence levels. It feels like new news but alas I'm not sure it is really.

 

[PragueBlue]

Looks nonsense to me.

 

[Stoned Rose]

Come on blues you’re adults not 7 year olds.

Don’t give the “leaked information” any oxygen.

 

[Paladin]

Tens of thousands of the bastards.
But after the last month I’m ceasing to care.
I wonder if all the shit will be settled over Summer, pressure really building on the PL.

Why is there pressure on the PL? Why can't they just let the process take its course? It's taken them this long to lay their charges. I don't see why they should be forced to rush the rest of the process.

 

[Kazzydeyna]

As much as I would love this to be true, I have to ask myself…

Would anyone with any knowledge at City leak this news to some chancer to leak on Twitter? No, not likely.
Ditto, would anyone ITK at the PL do likewise? Again, no,not likely.

Doesn’t stop me wanting to believe it though..

 

[argyle]

As if someone on twitter would know such stuff.

Whoever told him that, heard it from someone else, who heard it from someone else...

Sounds believable because it echos things said on here but don't believe things just because you want it to be true.

I’d hazard a guess that our government aren’t best pleased that the premier league have labelled a future investor of billions of pounds into the uk economy a cheat/corrupt.
If there isn’t pressure, there will be if we’re found guilty.

Because PL initiated a process with their “115 charges” causing a frenzy which was unprecedented in terms of the media and rival fan expectation and excitement. They could have been more circumspect, but chose big bang. So inevitably people on all sides are waiting for urgent resolution especially because City have now hoovered up every available trophy bar the Carabao Cup. Liverpool have now missed out on the FIFA World Club Championship (costing them £150M I believe). No Champions League for Liverpool and Spurs next year so if City are to receive punishment for any of these 115 *transgressions* those rivals will be desperate for a lifeline !

Our rivals dont want an urgent rsolution, neither do the PL. They know it's all high risk and they want as much damage as possible from it. It smells like a smear campaign to me, the longer it goes on for them the better. Surely?

Fine, but why does this put pressure on the PL. If they rush the process and mess it up, we have due process to appeal, which wastes even more time and might rule in our favour. If you were Liverpool or any of our other enemies you would want the process to be squeaky clean so there's no chance of us appealing.
