PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[cheekybids]

I would imagine they already have the shits. Pretty sure Masters doesn't want to be anywhere near this and I can't see a way out for him after this, other than resignation, tbh.

Hopefully he takes a few with them & blows the lid on the agenda.

Becky Anderson on CNN has said she is interviewing Khaldoon this afternoon at Kavos, host of the World Economic Forum…

:) Just listened to Jordan in a grubby radio studio. Now over to Khaldoon at Davos. I think we are in safe hands.

The comments on the YT clip are funny. One rag suggested fans of other clubs will boycott games including City.

There was a post on RAWK very similar. Some fuck head said all fans of other clubs should rise as one and boycott games including City. Genuinely calling out fans to not attend games when their teams play is. Fucking looney!!

It's easy to boycott games when you live in another country and have never seen your team play before!

Wow! Just listened to Stefan B on Talkshite. Absolutely brilliant! Nailed it. Loved seeing Simon Jordan out of his depth. Superb!

 

[Cellarite]

You have to love the experts on here saying that he was "stupid to say that" or "should've chosen his words better".

pretty sure that Masters et al have been bullied into this by the Americans /reds...and when a robust defence is presented they will turn around and look for American / reds back up. which....won't be there.

If you don't point out the possible consequences of a guilty verdict its not a balanced view. You end up coming across just like every other person with an agenda.

There is no way we are going to get relegated , none at all, dont say it, imho

 

[supercity88]

I listen to it live and although Stephan was very good I do believe he needed to choose his words better, especially knowing how that station would twist everything.

When explaining the sheer scale of what would be a major fraud case, he said the PL would struggle to prove it. I believe he should have stressed more that its unbelievable that such a giant fraud could be possible without a whistle-blower or easy evidence being found after 6 years of looking.

For me it gave Jordan the ongoing chance to say, we are guilty but the PL just weren't clever enough to prove it.

Just my take.

That's exactly what he did do - he said it would require a group of board members and senior executives from a number of different companies all being complicit and he finds it very hard to believe that would ever be the case.

@projectriver has the patience of a saint to ignore and brush of the absolute bullshite from that marble mouthed twat Jordan. Fair fucking play to you sir

That's why I call him the PL's Platini. PLatini, if you will.

All of UEFA's FFP is Platini's mess for being too weak.

And all of the PL FFP is Masters' mess for being too weak.

We're fortunate to have someone as knowledgeable and articulate as Stefan to provide an alternative to much of the nonsense that's been put out by the media regarding our case. Simon Jordan is a rude, obnoxious dickhead though, constantly interjecting and trying to talk over people.

That's how he gets the gig, he's a cnut.

 

[bluelol]

Question to Jordon and all those who wish to see our demise. How the fuck on earth can someone be guilty when it's not been proven. Jordon must be well in with someone if he has proof. In his dreams the wanker and ALL those that wish to follow the head sheep.

Mate tge reality is any non-city fan would have said 'cheating f#ckers hope they get relegated to tgr conference' before Stefan opened his mouth, before merrily returning to what they were doing.
We unfortunately need to suck it up, but once cleared should collectively go very large, club and fans

 

[Hoghead]

The suits et al, pushing for ffp punishment for ourselves and others seem to forget the human cost of it all.

Jordan was always going to be like that, and the facts are the Premier league do have to prove it, we don't have to prove innocence.

We can't be 'relegated' as such. The PL and EFL are separate bodies.

The PL has the power of expulsion, at the very worst, meaning a club expelled from the PL would have to apply to join the EFL. The PL can't arbitrarily place us into the Championship.

They could potentially deduct so many points that we could face relegation but the burden of proof and evidence required to inflict that would probably be so high as to be completely unachievable.

If we are found guilty then we will be given such a substantial points deduction it would inevitably lead to relegation. We're accused of fraud which if proven would throw out our accounts for a substantial period and the panel would either work out how much we'd have missed the compliance levels by and apply a deduction or just penalise us severely for the headline crime.

It can only be done through a points deduction that would see us be one of the three to go down. Otherwise you'd have the EFL needing to accept our place in the Championship and that's even more messy.

If found guilty we would and much worse than that as well. Stefan gets more credibility by giving a balanced view, he did say he doesn't think City will be found guilty.

 

[Churchlawtonblue]

Well I agree and so did Stephan, simply because we won't be found guilty.

 

[Sk@mcfc]

Stefan Owned that twat Jordan to the point he was actually agreeing with him
You just knew that talk shite were going to run the relegation story though
