PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

Just been on another forum discussing ffp according to one poster its common knowledge that Citys owners buy millions of City merchandise to get round ffp. This us because it's a well known fact that City dont have enough supporters to buy the amount of merchandise sold lol

Pre season, Yokohama v Celtic, att 2 men and a dog
Yokohama v City att 62,000 sell out
Yet they are a global colossus and we are a diddy club.
 
A few points come out of the select committee hearing today….

Masters is out of his depth.
Parry thinks Masters is clueless - he’s right on that
The select committee have limited insight and knowledge
The issues between the PL and the EFL show it was the creation of the PL that is the problem (ironic that Parry is now speaking for the EFL given he’s the chief villain).
these two will never come to an agreement- it’s clear Masters hands are tied and the hard up red shirts are playing a delaying tactic.
An independent regulator is inevitable.

These extra charges to other clubs have me worried.
With all the press surrounding it and asking what about city makes me feel we will be found guilty through association.
The IC thinking well if Everton and forest are guilty then so must city.
Like your mates being involved in a fight and you just being there gets you a guilty verdict.
It will be very hard for the IC to block out all these reports , independent regulatory and fans statements for it not to affect our outcome

The Henry Winter take on why City have still not been punished as fast as Everton and Forest had Roy Keane saying there is no way they can be found guilty if City are found innocent. Also, the press claim we are on trial, I don't seem to remember them using that term for the other clubs.

Roy fucking Keane? Like he knows anything about City's case.

To demonstrate what the PL & media agenda is:

Light a fire, fan the flames, infect people with rage, make them rabid and keep at it till the crazies unleash their vitriol on our fans.. much like that kid after the Huddersfield game.

Its not getting resolved within the panel. This hateful poison will likely stay for generations.

If it works with politics why wouldn’t it work in the tribal culture of football?
 
Did anyone know this?

Will his expertise be useful in our case, even though we've hired top barristers and lawyers, independent of the club?

The same media cunts who are demanding Everton get their points back on appeal for something they’ve admitted want us punished without a hearing first. Hope none of them ever end of jury duty

Yes 10 points is far too harsh for concrete admissions of overspending written in black and white in their accounts yet they want us thrown out of the league system altogether & title’s stripped for unproven alleged indiscretions from as far back as 2009. What have we done wrong? You’ve cheated? How? You just have.

From our local newspaper (the 'ManC Evening News'.. not!) last summer:

"It was a record-breaking start to the summer for City as they came from behind to defeat Yokohama Marinos on Sunday night.

61,618 fans packed into the National Stadium in Japan, the record attendance for a J.League match, and roughly treble how many supporters (20,263 - 'Japan Times') came to watch Marinos against Celtic earlier in the week."

As you say, we're just diddy.. though I don't mean we're 'Doo-wah-diddy' or 'P-Diddy'.. and neither are we one of 'Tickling Stick Dicky Mint's Diddymen'..

It’s like overpaying your mortgage to save on interest payments whilst your neighbour is Fred West and the press saying you are both guilty of crimes

10 points does seem a lot. maybe they should have started lower allowing scope to increase the points on repeat offences. or maybe suspend some of the points.

Sheikh Mansour nearly did buy Everton. He had a £100m deal agreed with Kenwright, but as soon as Billy Boy found out how rich HRH was, he doubled the price which pissed Sheikh Mansour off.

Around this crucial point, enter Garry Cooke with his now infamous PowerPoint presentation. Out went negotiations with Mike Ashley & Bill Kenwright, & a deal was struck with Thaksin Shinawatra for the sale of Manchester City instead.

The rest is history... :-)

Thaksin deserves statue for selling city to SM.

Serious allegations that are being contested take longer to be resolved than less complicated ones which have been admitted. Honestly, I think my 8-year old would be able to understand this but it seems to be beyond supposedly intelligent sports journalists.

It’s pure tribalism, professional journalism using facts and reason left the station a long long time ago
