PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[Eric Hitchmough]

British media slime city with everything but the kitchen sink in order to ignore who the real cheats are:

Manchester City have issued a full apology.

Hard to tell if this was a hatchet job by The Telegraph (although it's pretty damning if you're getting outwitted by Ben fucking Rumsby) or if Ceferin went into the interview with his eyes wide open. The quotes in isolation aren't that bad (he's essentially just defending UEFA's case, says he accepts the CAS decision, and won't comment on the PL case) but still think it was completely inappropriate for someone in his position to comment at all in the circumstances. The constant deluge of negative press is tiresome, but ultimately nothing has changed regarding our case. Just got to brush it off, and savour the fact that our success hurts them so much.

Exactly. Soon be forgotten when we spank Spurs on Friday :)

This is what pissed me off at the end of last season. Every time we won something, the media couldn't discuss it without bringing up the 115 charges, as if that's proof that the titles weren't legitimate. Even if you genuinely believe that City are guilty of all 115 charges (which of course no-one can, because no-one has access to the evidence), they're for a time period over over 5 years ago. What relevance do they have to our achievements last year? That just goes to show that it's nothing to do with fairness and everything to do with feelings and jealousy at a better team, being run better, and giving the old guard, who all of the journalists support, a kick in the teeth every year.

About as much relevance as Arsenal's dodgy election to the top flight in 1919 has to their Charity Shield win in August 2023.

Hasn't he already passed on all of his stocks to his family members ahead of this?

Owned by family trust

Add to that the insult to a Middle East Royal family. These types of allegations and reputational damage are treated VERY seriously in the Arab region. Culturally smears like this are received very differently in the Arab speaking world. Finding us guilty jeopardises trading relationships and investments too. It’s a nuclear option so The Premier League would have to have a watertight case with irrefutable evidence to satisfy the wider legal and political world. The Premier League and UEFA are playing with fire. This is why I don’t stress too much about it. I’d be amazed if they’re stupid enough to find us guilty.

The fuckers who are instigating all this are the American owners they don’t give a fuck about what is right all they care about is trying to keep their nose in the trough at any cost. They love the fact that the premier league and its rules are giving reason so they can turn around and say they can’t spend.

It’s more money to take back to the states for the owners of the Red Shites, Spurs and the rest of the rancid bastards

Maximum of 20 years in prison. But he's rich, so he'll no doubt get away with an inconsequential fine. If he worked for a bank and defrauded them of 10 grand, no doubt he'd be in prison for a decade.
