PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[Metal Biker]

Just been walking through the snow in Kendal wearing my City hat and a voice says to me 'which league are you going to be relegated to?'. I looked up at the person. I think he was vaguely human and I said 'we won't be relegated!'. I said it more defiantly than I was expecting and noticed he had an Arsenal hat on. I then said 'You'd like us to be relegated, but we won't!'. Off he trudged in the slush. I hope I'm right because if I see him again I will let him know he was wrong...repeatedly LOL.

A better comeback would be "you NEED us to be relegated... because that's the only way Arsenal could ever win the title". ;)

was this to keep the case private? which i thought everyone wanted

No, that was separate I think and brought by the daily mail. Both City and the PL wanted to keep it in house. The other 4 (which I wasn't aware of myself) look to have been just lawyers being lawyers and arguing points of law.

Before then you can ask him if they will relocate back to their spiritual home in South London and stop pretending to be a Narrfff Landaan club.

They could ask them when they're being investigated for bribing their way into the football pyramid in the first place. After all, time barring doesn't apply for serious offences.

Drat - I've been rumbled!
Lol.

Good man, you know it's good for the Dover.

Looking at Newsnow, there's a former CEO of Everton claiming City have a 30 strong set of in-house lawyers, that could potentially tie the PL up for a very long time. However, he then adds a caveat, whereby he states it is what he has heard, and doesn't know if it is true or not. Of course, the brain dead readers of other clubs will only digest the first part, and will become a fact. This is the kind of shite we are faced with, and the constant building of incessant reputational damage.

Given the number of documents at play and what is at stake if you asked me to take a random stab in the dark about how many people are working on this I'd have come to something similar. But that is surely going to include an extensive team of paralegals, the club's legal team, Pannick's team etc etc.

Anyone would think the PL's legal team is a John Grisham pro bono hero doing it on their own dime and time.

Probably nothing more than click-bait bullshit, but it got me clicking.

Ex-Everton chief Keith Wyness has claimed Man City have an astonishing team of 30 in-house lawyers as they fight 115 potential breaches of Premier League rules.

The 66-year-old, who served as CEO at Goodison Park between 2004 and 2009 and now runs a football consultancy advising elite clubs, revealed the Toffees didn’t have a dedicated legal representative during his tenure at the club.

Ex-Everton CEO blown away by what he's heard about Man City FFP case

Football Insider has been told by ex-Everton CEO Keith Wyness that Man City could have up to 30 in-house lawyers as they fight 115 potential breaches of Premier League rules.

Hope we have and even more oh what's it got to do with him

 

[I'm Blue]

Well that’s the start of it.
2 point deduction today.
Wankers.

 

[KenTheLandlord]

Good suggestion but surely the old standard, first adopted/adapted in the 60s, 'She'll Be Coming 'Round The Mountain', lends itself better here, from the point of view of scanning and rhythm..?!

'You can stick your cartel charges up your a*se/ You can stick your cartel charges up your a*se..' and so on and so on? Just a thought..(!!)

To be fair, I will never pen a banger....

 

[Asa's left peg]

30 in-house Lawyers - lol
Name them and the location of this legal teams office. ( will be a big one)

 

[TinFoilHat]

Erling tweeting about the ref - 116

 

[Cassandra]

As previously mentioned the CAS panel is made up of the chairman nominated by CAS then one from each side selected from the CAS pool

In this case all three are selected by the Premier League.

Absolute utter bullshit!

The press are doing their thing , you should know better.

 

[Paladin]

Rui also accused of attempting to blackmail clubs, maybe we didnt want to pay his price ?

If he's attempted to blackmail City, I'm pretty sure it would have been mentioned by the club.

 

[halfcenturyup]

In this case all three are selected by the Premier League.

All three are selected by Rosen for their particular experience, not the PL. A fine distinction but an important one.

Has Rosen appointed himself, do we know? Or is he giving this one a wiiiiiide berth?

 

[Paladin]

... his reputation proceeds him.

It quite possibly does, but I think you mean precedes.

 

[Paladin]

I guess the Fa don’t think they will the case on 115 points but will have some joy which may result in 30 odd charges sticking.

Bear in mind some of the charges we are guilty of is breaching uefa FFP which we accepted, paid the fine and reduced squad. Non compliance may well be another so it’s easy to see 30 odd charges sticking which proves we are guilty in the eyes of the red tops even tho it’s not the serious offences everyone thinks

Charging us for failing UEFA FFP should be definitely time barred. IF they were admitted, they were known about and in the open, and therefore not concealed, and consequently not subject to any of the conditions that might prevent limitation.
