PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[Bournemouth Blue]

The EPL opened the can of worms, win or lose they have blown the model wide open for other European franchises to capitalise and take the best players from England.

No one can restart a DD its access to your account if the bank allow it to continue they are in breach of the DD terms

When I cancelled the dd it was a deputy manager who said they were able to set it up again hope you are right tho cheers

I cancelled my direct debit, but seems they can restart it from their end just have to wait and see

Sure you had a direct debit and not a recurring payment similar but harder to stop.

In my experience this case will result in a fine for non cooperation.
It's the only way every side escapes without looking like a prick.
No other scenario will work.
City will be, in no doubt, pressing for an 'innocent on all counts' result.
But with the high profile of the league, the high profile of the case, the heavy hitters on all sides wanting to walk away with a victory, the public and media expectations, the only outcome that will be politically (governments, pl boards, and judiciary, alike) acceptable is this. They will want a no-score draw.
The league will eat itself if there is a guilty verdict, or a fully innocent one.
I firmly believe we are watching a charade play out to show the pl justice system working as it should.
It is important that the mechanics of society are shown to be working. If it is demonstrated to be fatally flawed folk will lose faith in it.
The non-cooperation result is the only way all sides can say they won.

Not sure about that. Very few of the mob will be happy with a fine I would think, although I would settle for it now, if all the other charges were dropped and discredited.

How does that work in practice though?
Did we not cooperate at all? If so, what’s to stop all this coming back again, once ‘new evidence’ is unearthed?
Did we cooperate eventually? In which case we’ve surely, cooperated?
If we produce new evidence that the panel says, ‘if you’d showed everyone this before, there’d have been no charges’, we would have committed the biggest own goal in history!

Not saying you’re wrong but I just can’t see how that can be the only outcome.

Although it is officially stated that no communications have been had at government level, I can assure you that there has.
All depends on if the yanks have put more pressure to secure their 'investments' than the UAE have.
But this will be a political manoeuvre and not a legal one.
All this tribunal bollocks is just that. In my humble one.

As I say, the decisions will have been politically made. This level of conflict in a worldwide entertainment behemoth brand is too much of a destabilising risk.
Even for the plaintive. A win for them is still going to be highly damaging. And these American investors are not usually interested in a long term ROI.
They (red top owners) and us, also don't know what City will do if the nuclear button is pressed.
Totally Innocent or filthy guilty don't work for any investor who wants to make money from the game.

If the PL don’t land any of the major allegations it will be a disaster for them. They have taken four years and accused all our senior people of false accounting. Non-co operation is not a win for them under any circumstances.
