PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[wolviedinho]

Any idea what they proposed we plead guilty to and what the punishment offered was?

My thinking based on absolutely nothing is that the club wouldn't have a settlement agreement for anything financial but maybe would for the non cooperation as long as the punishment wasn't points based.

Premier league statement being very clear that city provided irrefutable evidence against the financial charges but that we accept some responsibility in not cooperating and have accepted a £20m fine and 5 point deduction suspended for a year.
Everyone saves face and we don't have to have a drawn out trial.

That will be enough to slander the club for years and years. Look how much mileage they got out of ‘time barred’.

Nah, if we have not broken any rule, and if more importantly they can’t prove that then I want a statement that says exactly that.

100% this.
Yank owners all pissing in the same pot.
Masters is the epstein of the Premier league.
He'll take all the heat but we all know who's pulling the strings.
Red top yank owners.

That’s why he got the job. He probably agreed to it in his private interview.

Interesting article in 14th April Sunday Times Business Section - featuring Alberto Galassi (CEO of Ferretti) who's a non-exec director of City football Group - when questioned about the charges he says "I am not entitled to discuss this, but perhaps you can tell from my body language I am super confident (about the outcome)"

Thanks for posting that snippet.

Here is the extract:

At Piaggio, where he climbed from the sales and marketing departments to became chief executive in 2009, Galassi became close friends with the future Manchester City chairman, Khaldoon Al Mubarak, who led Abu Dhabi’s investment in the aerospace company in 2006.

Al Mubarak appointed Galassi to the board of Man City as a non-executive director in 2012. Despite the team’s success on the pitch, the club has been charged with 115 breaches of financial fair play regulations. “I am not entitled to discuss this, but perhaps you can tell from my body language I am super confident [about the outcome],” he says.

Crack out the champagne blues. Once we are cleared I genuinely believe we will break the internet and any red **** still breathing will be looking for a hole to crawl into.

He is not a presenter anymore. GB News unlike msm generally presents both sides of an issue but if you prefer to be fed news rather than form your own opinion carry on with BBC & Sly.

Aye go to GB News and watch a Tory MP interview another Tory MP!

It's possible that the IC have been reviewing the evidence presented to them and have gone back to the PL saying "Are you serious?"

Is it also possible that the PL have seen the colour of our money re the irrefutable evidence we feel we have and decided they no longer want to offer any further evidence as happens in criminal trials?

The more you think about it, the more it feels like this, is coming down to the none co-operation issue. Because that's probably the only thing they can contest, if everything else is falling in, around them.
