PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[BillingeBlue]

Quite a lot of the media noise seems to be shifting to our perceived lack of cooperation rather than breaking any financial rules, almost as though they’re hearing rumblings that this is all the Premier League has left in their hopes of pinning something on us.

That's how I think it will end. Can't see how PL can prove their case so they'll probably give us a fine for non co-operation to save some face. Even when found not guilty, we know non City fans will see us as guilty anyway but I've become fairly immune to that and the 'What about City" knobs. The best thing about it will be the seethe when City are found not guilty. They'll need to put a protective ring around the Runcorn bridge to stop the dippers committing hari kari.

Jordan hasn’t got a clue. Slandering City constantly. And stealing a living on Talk Shite.

This right here is the point, emails in of themselves dont prove anything, there has to be concrete evidence outside of the emails to prove it. In effect it would be like me emailing a car dealership and saying i would like to buy this car, i have the money and them sending me the car on the strength of that email.
*I love United and wish they would win the league!*
Unfortunately thats not how things work.

It's a little worse than that unfortunately. From my perspective (ex web developer) emails were never designed to be used in this confirmation way. And although you can encrypt them that's only in transit or at point of storage. But the email itself is just plaintext markup script E.g. your post referenced above contains a link to the original post which can easily disprove it. But from looking at my post. You seem very suspicious (edit surrounded by * to prove a point apologies just seemed the best way to explain)
There's no way from looking at this post to confirm if that is true or has been edited by me without additional information.
The only thing you can confirm is what I'VE said at the time of writing the post.


....sorry again for bastardising your post to make a point

Where can I listen to this wonderful put down by Stefan once again, to this wankstain as you rightly call him. ;)

Given that senior officials from UEFA were systematically leaking confidential business information about City throughout the process I am certain that if there were any "smoking gun" documents they would also have been leaked. Remember that CAS reduced our non-co-operation allegation to a much lower fine because they accepted that UEFA had leaked information.

I'm not sure they did reduce because UEFA had leaked. My memory may be faulty but the fine was reduced because it was unclear how much was related to the charge of non cooperation. CAS were pretty miffed about our lack of cooperation and told us they should take up the leaking with UEFA

Tbf none cooperation in of itself is a bullshit charge, if the pl want to make a case against the club then it is up to the pl to provide the evidence, quite simply if you want me to kill me id be a fucking idiot to hand you the gun, yet this is what the pl were expecting

Stephan has the cool air of confidence of a man who knows what he’s talking about, while Jordan squeaks and ducks and dives like the pound-shop Arthur Daly that he is.
What a mismatch!

Not for the first time I'm struck by the fact that Simon Jordan has a deep desire to be the smartest man in the room and that he has chased that desire to being in a room with ex-footballers and tabloid journalists taking calls from drunk football fans. Hmm. It might tell you something about what happened when he was in other rooms.

What confuses me, is that in March 2023, Mancini said he hadn't been contacted by anyone at the Premier League.

The investigation supposedly started in December 2018.

Sounds like there was very little investigation to cooperate with.
