PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

So basically its up to the PL to prove us guilty, we don't have to prove our innocence by disclosing private company/sponsorship documents.
This has a non co-operation fine written all over it.

This, with the non co-operation fine,Jordan and everyone else will still deem us as technically being guilty,which Jordan kept banging on over the UEFA/CAS outcome..

And yet... just listened to the "news" and they've clipped his quote so it says something like "this only ends one way - and that's in relegation".

Absolutely shamelessly misrepresenting him.

It's not surprising at all, Talk Sport really is Talk Shite, I very rarely listen but did today and thank Stefan for the insight and his simple explanation.
Talk Shite has no class or Integrity and never will have it whilst they employ people like Jordan who splurge out rubbish on subjects in which they have no expertise in and seem incapable of accepting valid logical points of view.

I know from my club contacts that the media strategy was to court certain journalists who the club thought were 'opinion formers'. Serious journalists who could write using a more sophisticated medium than a crayon. So probably people like (I'm guessing) Martin Samuel, Henry Winter, Martyn Ziegler, David Conn, Rory Smith, etc. I do know Nick Harris was one of that group. I talked to him and passed on stuff I knew, which the club seemingly had no issue with (I'd have certainly known if they had).

They shared information with them, the intention being that we'd get a more sympathetic and objective hearing in the media...

At some point though, Harris's attitude changed dramatically......... But even knowing all this, the club were very puzzled about his 180 degree turn. His hatred of us is seemingly pathological.

Delaney was the same to a large degree. Up to us winning the league at Brighton in 2019 he was OK. By the time we'd beaten Watford at Wembley, just one week later, he'd turned.

I guess if we know City were speaking to journalists this way and for that reason, it'd be no surprise if other clubs were too. There's a whole bigger story waiting to be investigated about club payments to journalists (and I don't mean City), I'm sure of it...

They serve the mob - that's how they earn a crust - not through intelligence, impartiality or integrity. Just tell the mob what they want to hear and have lots of patronising, belittling voice-overs of how we are supposed to sound.
 
It's no wonder they've turned comments off, they are trying to control the narrative, silence any other viewpoints than the ones they want.

Can't we as fans complain to offcom about dirty tricks like talksports are using? If we did it in numbers something might actually be done for once because the club wont.

I've never listened but we all know the radio model where they have to argue stupid points or that have nothing to talk about.

I noticed that they had a bit on Ivan Toney, where Jim White had to pretend to be shocked that Toney wasn't saying he'd love to stay at Brentford. Jordan got to be the man with the knowledge this time, and was able to share his inside info of the time he took Palace to near bankruptcy.

Jordan is very much part of the group expressing the view "that we all know City are guilty" as their start point.

He has his own agenda and did not want to hear what Stefan had to say so constantly interrupted and tried to deflect from an expert analysis of the situation and issues.

Jordan was in effect inferring that our owner knows all the sponsors personally so of course they would lie about it all!

He hangs around with Levy to long

CAS was a defacto appeal. And it was the same evidence, according to the verdict and reports.

I don't know what the PL process is like (as I didn't know the cas one either at the time) but I imagine it would be similar. Could be wrong of course.

Last post on this, must be driving everyone crazy, but yes CAS was a de novo review:

And these are the PL rules:

This is the problem with engaging with an outlet like Talk Shite. If you lie down with dogs, you get up with fleas. Bravo to him for trying, though.
 
Got to say I’m bored shitless by all this bollocks. Doesnt take a genius to work out this whole thing is a crude smear campaign. It’s worked a treat, no smoke without fire etc but it’s boring.

Looking at what’s happened recently with Everton and Forest and what will almost certainly happen to other clubs, does make me wonder outside of the red shirts and Spuds if there is an appetite to see us destroyed by the other clubs? They see Chelsea spending gazzilions, the rags splurging money like a pissed up sailor on shore leave, Arsenal and the dips are regular offenders but seem to pull all the strings, why are the others so in thrall to these **** clubs.

in a way I hope they do try and fuck us, we can take the kid gloves off, launch a tirade of stories in the media about what we know about the others, launch huge defamation proceedings and take the EPL to the high court for running an anti competitive closed shop. Fuck em.
