PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

Exeter Blue I am here said:
Wrexham? Hmmmm. Only Wrexham fan I’ve ever heard of is that utter constable, Herbert. Is that you by any chance?

Just to indulge you though, this isn’t about conspiracy theories or jealousy (although conversely it is as well). It’s about a presumption of guilt without the inconvenience of a fair hearing, and a media smear campaign driven by a load of rag and dipper stooges, designed to permanently eliminate a rival who has cost them tens of millions of pounds every year for well over a decade.

I doubt there’s anyone on this forum - and we’ve got some serious players on here, some with real, top level expertise, and others with contacts at the club - who actually knows if we’re guilty or not (although tellingly our resident experts seem to be universally of the opinion that what we are accused of seems far fetched), and on that basis I’m relatively certain that ‘Dave from Bootle’ or ’Tony the rag from Donegal’ have even less idea, and the same goes for Simon fucking Jordan, Big Jim Shite, Paddy Power, Spitty Carragher, anyone named Harris and the bottom feeding, click chasers at the Daily Mail.
And yet despite no-one really knowing whether we ”did it”, didn’t do it, or perhaps did things that whilst they may seem illegal, actually aren’t, we have been found guilty without a legal ball having been kicked, and the false equivalence of the Everton situation, which has been used as just another stick with which to beat us, has brought that fact into even sharper relief. Disingenuous screaming for us to be punished without the hearing panel having even been convened, never mind delivered a verdict, simply because a load of thick twats can’t get their heads around the notion of a complex fraud case with a million documents and a not guilty plea, taking a teensy weensy bit longer to conclude than a case involving a guilty plea and the simple use of a calculator to extrapolate whether A minus B equals a number above or below C, is our daily lot.

Your last sentence sums it up. Not ‘do you expect to be found guilty or not guilty?’, but rather ‘what kind of punishment do you expect?’.

Fuck off

Great post mate. And, I shall add, a rather positive one from you regarding this particular topic for a change!
 
The Telegraph article about the sports minister meeting is on this paywall free link here:


See the extract below.

And also in the full article: As detailed by Telegraph Sport last week, there will be developments as early as this week, although precisely what remains unclear" which is shorthand for we don't have any details this week or, indeed, as we speculated last week.

The mail saying that this fella Omar has nothing to do with the charges hanging over city lol. He was directly involved in sponsorships coming onboard.

This is a fucking national paper. The absolute shit they spout is on another level.

We all know the charges are bullshit and this move to the rags inadvertently proves it. Lying pricks who have driven hate towards every city fan.

It’s diabolical. The Rags appointing Berrada shows the whole conspiracy bollocks behind the charges for what it is. It’s unbelievable that professional sports journalists are spinning such moronic bullshit. There’s no escaping the fact this is a big nail in the coffin of the “charges”. Just a matter of time.

I imagine all of the criticism about how long the process is taking, from fans, pundits and journalists alike, must be stinging the PL. As mentioned previously, it’s causing considerable reputational damage to them now. Are they really going to try and ride it out for the next 18 months?

I guess the only way they could plausibly expedite the process would be to drop some of the harder to prove charges or try and strike a deal, but that seems highly improbable. Not even sure if that’s possible now that it’s been referred to an independent commission?! What a mess they’ve got themselves into.

would be nice if they simply said that "on having reviewed the irrefutable evidence graciously supplied by the most excellently run Manchester City, we have seen enough to recommend the investigation into breaches stops and we would like to add that the whole investigation appears to have been a ridiculous waste of everyones time"

or at least that they have found no evidence to support the alleged breaches.

Just to clarify, Omar wasn't at the club when the original Etihad and Etisalat deals were made.

But the point is still valid, because I haven't seen many media outlets claim to know anything about the details behind our case. It's always just 115 charges or "over 100 charges" in the headlines. But the papers now clearly know enough about the facts to dismiss Omar's part in any of them! Maybe everyone should head over to the rags, they'll be cleared via media trial to suit the new agenda and then they can come back again.
 
It's a catch 22 with Nick Harris, I don't think there's any doubt he's now suffering with a Mental Illness. Is it o.k to take the piss still as the illness is just City related?

Just some sunshine amongst the doom and gloom...

The Rags latest quarterly figures, released this week, showed the Glazers’s debt has increased to £773m and that an additional £364m is owed in unpaid transfer fee instalments !. Total debt is £1.13b. Estimates for an Old Toilet rebuild range from £1.5b to £2.0b.
If they fail to make the expanded UCL comp next year they will loose out on really significant revenues. Come on Villa and the Barcodes take those 4th and 5th places.
A mentally disturbed Rag said to me they will use the Ethihad for 3 years during the Toilet rebuild as we will only need the Acacdemy for games in the lower leagues. Their desperation and loss of reality is something I thought I would never see in my lifetime.

So, Scuffy Jim has paid billions for a 25% share of £1.13B of debt

Hey lads, Wrexham fan here - go easy! Like you, we're high on everyone's agenda since we came into some well deserved investment and attention. Jealousy is a huge part of daily life. Looking at Citys case though, do none of you believe you've never done anything wrong or is it just a huge conspiracy borne out of jealousy and envy? And if found guilty, what kind of punishment are you expecting? Cheers.

Nah.

Your owners are white Americans and aren't dealing with the likes of United or Liverpool, so it's seen as Wrexham living the dream rather than 'financial doping'.
