PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[BerkshireBlue]

But why would they offer us a 6 point deduction knowing we would probably turn that down, why wouldn’t they just say £5, £10, £15million fine so that we would more probably accept that??

I don't believe a settlement was offered whatsoever. It makes little sense

When we win this I hope City do the countdown clock on the scoreboard like they did at QPR 115 to zero now that would be piss funny as we pick up 5 in a row

Love it!

Why would Etihad need Sheikh Mansour to pay the majority of their sponsorship contract when they were turning over billions of USD per annum? Looks like they can afford to pay it themselves which was confirmed at CAS.

This!

Also why would Mansour task the higher ups at City with covering his money and speaking about it so openly? Far too risky, anyone could hack your emails. This is exactly what happened.

If the Sheikh was indeed disguising owner investment then I very much doubt the actually task of carrying out said disguisement would have gotten any further than Khaldoon not some senior executive!

Either that or we were so brazen that we didn’t care and paid everyone erm consultancy fees.

It’s fucking nuts and stupid and that’s why it didn’t happen. Creative accounting is not fraud.

Because they thought/hoped we might take it?

Yup. Suggests to me that the PL is not that confident…….after years and years of investigation.

Come on Khaldoon, you know it makes sense…bid for it and just let us all sit back and watch that piss boil!! https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/cgryg9598q1o

I thought the idea of an offer was debunked earlier? Have I missed a turn?

Because they thought/hoped we might take it?

But if they wanted us to accept an offer, and cause us ‘guilt by association’ , then they would surely offered us something too good to turn down???! By the way I’m Not disagreeing with anything you say Chris, cos I don’t believe they offered us a deal anyway, my point being why not offer us something we couldn’t turn down if they wanted us to accept??

I’m pretty sceptical that a six-point deduction will have been offered.

No idea where it was originally posted that a 6 point deduction was offered but it’s obviously complete bollocks.

Why would the PL offer a 6 point settlement to City at pretty much the same time they were recommending the IC punish more than that for Forest and Everton for minor PSR transgressions.
