PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[CC1]

What's strange? It was unfortunate phrasing just as I said, not "if true then..."

And I say it because we all know what folk will take from it as a soundbite, that's all.

I think @Centurions was indicating that it would be strange if Stefan had simply stated that he thought we will be relegated - (which, of course, he didn’t. He was adamant that the club had not acted fraudulently but IF they had - such actions would result in relegation)

I see Simon Jordan has shown himself for being the smug little **** he is when put in a room who talks like an adult and knows what he's on about.

Missed it but he is quoted as sports headline in Daily Fail saying he predicts relegation is the minimum we'll be punished with.

Football fans are partizan and tribal. They don't really care how the authorities get City out of the way, but they are hoping we will become ickle City again very soon. The media are rife with red cartel supporters and they will continue to report clickbait headlines until this circus is over. Then they'll move on to the next ad revenue generating story. It's all bullshit. Come on City!

Yep you can understand opposing fans total bias!

Just wish he hadn't given the soundbite of "There's no way this doesn't end without relegation."

Why?

A, that is not what he said. He said, IF it turns out that all these people have colluded to decieve..

And B, Let's say it has the effect you think it would, which is everyone jumps onto that as some expectation, of the outcome if found guilty. Then surely any outcome Other than relegation down the line says that were not in fact guilty, if that's the publicly perceived threshold.

if we're found guilty we're well and truly in the shit.

There's no point denying that.

After trying to convince my few mates about the injustice of FFP ect .I've given up, and now just looking forward to the meltdown, of epic proportions ,when City are exonerated. It will make 93.20, 14 cm (or whatever it was that upset the Dippers) and the Arse meltdowns look like their best day of their lives.

My 14cms have upset a few ladies along the way tbf.

So has mine ,sadly but not in a good way.I blame age and the cold weather.

Well, I think we can all agree that Stefan will be played by Martin Freeman in the forthcoming blockbuster film of our exoneration.

Thanks all for the comments. I feel it is not credible (especially as I have said it before), to dance around what happens if everything is proven. It is the key part of why I don't believe they will ultimately prove the allegations. And nobody can be in doubt as to the seriousness now post Everton if we are found to have breached these rules on a wholesale basis for a decade. I know it is not a good soundbite and yes this is a little naive but it is difficult to tread that line.

Thanks mate, now please get straight into a Jordan disinfected bath, every second counts.

That's a big IF !!
IMHO if we are found innocent then the shit storm will be even greater.
The European Super League franchise will raise its head once more as the Americans take total control.
Professional football as we know it will be finished.
