PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

My WhatsApp group has lit up because of this Forest news, could any of you more intelligent people refute this?

The reason a lot of people think they are guilty is there were leaked documents which UEFA were given which showed there was false accounting (and I think City maybe even admitted to it?). But under UEFA's rules too much time had passed to charge them, whereas the Premier League doesn't have a time limit in its rules.
Not more intelligent, but I’d still say that sounds like utter horseshit.
 
Jim Shite just came out with 'Manchester City, 115 charges kicked into the long grass', that's what we're up against folks. Just doing the bidding of the vested interests.
It gets the great unwashed frothing and dialling in. Nothing more, nothing less.

He doesn't care whether City are guilty or innocent.

He doesn't care if what he is saying is incorrect.

All that matters is that people dial in, in their droves.

And he sits there chuckling to himself.
 
The big five at that time were in place due to the carve up of TV rights that were a result of a deal they did with ITV

they agreed a deal where their matches would be the primary focus of the weekly matches that were shown on a Sunday afternoon

therfore securing the vast majority of TV money for themselves

they then went behind ITV’s back to do a deal with SKY
Alan Sugar led it.

BSB was his company at the time.

City did not deny the emails existed but not in the context that they were reported.

Once city showed CAS through the accounts and actual in person statements that what was stated by Pearce did not actually happen and that the sponsorships(ethiad) paid the full amount to City via a 3rd party, why this was done is not 100 clear unless you are an accountant, and that City’s performance on the pitch satisfied their contractual obligations to said sponsor.

All of city’s accounts are published and free to view. Nothing is hidden.

The time barred is a red hearing. City had the evidence ready to produce at CAS but CAS deemed it not necessary. The premier league have a 6 year period of statute of limitation in uk law. It takes effect once the discovery is made so we ain’t sure when that will kick in. Most probably around the der spiegal leaks.

I’m sure if any of this is wrong, someone will be along to correct it. I assume you mean the emails when you talk about leaked documents.

Just tell them to fuck off!

Actually tell them…god wills it along with the gif -:)

Did Stefan actually go as far to say City would be cleared? Or has the YouTuber added his own opinion?

Thanks

My hope with the premier case is that an agreement can be made before the tribunal is concluded.

He said it was extremely unlikely that the club had entered into the most serious arrangements that are being alleged, but that, even in the unlikeliest case that they did, it is also extremwly unlikely that the PL would have the evidence to prove it.

I think that is a fair summation. And spot on, as always.

And it reflects the prevailing view these days on here as well which is healthy, I think.

Thanks for the reply.

in essence, right or wrong no longer is relevant. City deny the charges and the league is pissed they are not able to access the material they deem would incriminate city so fuck you here is 115 charges as a consequence because we know you did something but can’t prove it. The red teams are climbing up their bum with hysterical insanity. -:)

There is substantial material in the CAS findings to refute this rubbish.

The CAS found that “leaked email number four is in fact a combination of two separate emails” which gives a “somewhat distorted impression”, and they based their decision on the originals, rather than the hacked versions published by Der Spiegel.

City had said the leaked emails should not be admissible, but still answered the allegations based on them, and eventually agreed to release the original emails – there were six of them and one attachment used, out of around 5.5million hacked emails.

The panel found that the accounts also do not contradict City’s case, and that Uefa had singularly failed to provide any real proof that the Blues had breached FFP rules. They added: “There is no doubt that Etihad fully complied with its payment obligations towards MCFC and that MCFC rendered the contractually agreed services to Etihad in return.”

Close enough :)

The most important point, in my opinion, is that the emails in themselves don't prove anything. Ask any lawyer. What is important is what actually happened after the discussions in any emails. UEFA couldn't prove that what they thought was discussed in the emails actually happened. They couldn't even prove what they thought was discussed in the emails was what was actually discussed. So a combination of the accounting records which did show what actually happened and personal statements from people who actually knew what happened, describing what did actually happen (and what UEFA thought happened didn't) along with some external financial evidence from sponsors and owner, all carried more weight than a few unsubstantiated allegations.

The same will happen to the PL allegations, imho.

And yes, the tine-barring is a red herring, the evidentiary situation is the same.
