PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

Eight PL clubs signed a public letter to the media demanding we should be sanctioned BEFORE our appeal to CAS and without any investigation by the PL. This is proven collusion yet they have faced no consequences so far.

For the sake of accuracy, it was 9 clubs and it was a legal filing and not a letter to the media.
Also, it wasn't demanding a sanction but requesting the CAS decision was not delayed by beyond the season end by appeal.

From CAS:

32. On 9 March 2020, 9 Premier League clubs filed an application for intervention (the
"Application for Intervention"), pursuant to Article R41.3 and R54 CAS Code for the
limited purpose of opposing any possible application by MCFC to request for a stay of
execution of the Appealed Decision. The clubs that jointly filed the application for
intervention were the following: i) Arsenal Football Club PLC; ii) Burnley Football &
Athletic Company Limited; iii) Chelsea Football Club Limited; iv) Leicester City
Football Club Limited; v) Liverpool Football Club Limited; vi) Manchester United
Football Company Limited; vii) Newcastle United Football Company Limited; viii)
Tottenham Hotspur Football & Athletic Co Ltd; and ix) Wolverhampton Wanderers
Football Club (1986) Limited.

The clubs got it horribly wrong though the busy bastards:

36. On 3 April 2020, the CAS Court Office info1med the 9 Premier League clubs that no
application for a stay of execution of the Appealed Decision had been filed and that
their Application for Intervention was therefore moot.

FAQs maybe, like:

What are the charges?
Do they represent fraud?
If it's fraud why isn't this in a criminal court?
Do the allegations imply breaching FFP?
Are any of the Pl allegations time-barred?
What is Etihad about?
What is Etisalat about?
What is Mancini's contract about?
What is the image rights issue?
How long will it take?
What is likely to happen?

And general background:
When was FFP introduced by UEFA and the PL?
What are UEFA's FFP rules?
What are the PL's FFP rules?
What was the 2014 settlement about?
Why was the club banned from the CL in 2019?
What did CAS say about UEFA's case?

Edit: I could volunteer to make a start on some of them if people think it is a good idea. Would have to be checked by people smarter than me, of course. @Ric , what do you think?

IIRC you posted something ages ago suggesting something like this. I thought at the time it was a good idea.

I think it should start with these 2:
Do they represent fraud?
If it's fraud why isn't this in a criminal court?

I don't think these points have been mentioned yet... :) only joking

Serious point, and as suggested by you in your conversation with Dribble, is that it should be clear what is fact and what is opinion.

It's no good coming from Khaldoon, it needs to be a investigative journalist who has the balls to put his whole future on the line,as the cartel will come after him and try and destroy him as they have tried with us.
I'm not sure such a character exists in modern day journalism.

Thanks for that, will reread whilst my kids are doing their gym club later this morning. One initial thought though:

Rule B.13 requires all clubs to behave with utmost good faith to the league and the other clubs.

So where does that put the clubs who signed a letter asking for us to be punished immediately, to their own benefit, before the case was heard? Fanciful I know, but wouldn't it be something if we were not charged with a single offence, yet nine other clubs were...

Where does that put Liverpool who hacked are computers.

Underneath all of this saga is the truth....i have to hope that one day some entity or someone will expose it all and those behind it all are exposed for who they are and what their intentions & motivations were

Maybe Martin Samuel’s could write a book about it - he’s the only sports journalist I can think of who appears to be non-partisan and has any integrity.
