PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

Seems abit bizarre to me that City are paying through the pl to for the hearing against City

Doesn't matter. If the PL can't prove their most serious allegations they will be paying a significant proportion of City's legal costs anyway, no matter what happens on non-cooperation and the others. They are looking at a big number for all this.

Whose account in the bank?
How do City benefit?
You need to think this one through!

Err, interest free loan from ADUG to City. City no interest expense. Sits in City's bank account, earns interest. Interest is income for FFP.

Am I missing something here?

Granted ADUG loses interest income in the UAE, but that is small fry compared to pulling one over the PL.

I assume that does not include an amount for the current farce.

@KS55 it doesn't. And as expected it's now being used against big bad City. Several papers have now ignored this part and are just stating that the Premier League will not be able to dish out as much money to the 'little' clubs thanks to the PL having to spend so much on lawyers to fight City.
Yawn, so predictable.
They were severely criticised by the appeal tribunal for trying to claim millions from Everton (who pleaded guilty) and criticised by clubs for appealing the Leicester verdict as it was an additional cost. They are not fit for purpose.

Carragher is just a your typical pundit
Knows everything but has zero back up to any of it
He doesn’t want us to be bigger than Liverpool therefore we can’t be
They changed the rules to stop us spending our own money, then it’s related parties, then loans
Next it will be you can’t wear blue
Problem is the city lad on the overlap is a bellend just like the united local brummie glory hunter

Carragher is a very decent football pundit, his knowledge of the game is huge and he clearly thinks and watches a lot of football and it's tactics etc, but his major problem is that scouse bitterness is always under the surface and he can't resist digs at us and what our club has achieved on and off the pitch.

How thick can they possibly be. They are using emails of Khaldoon saying how much he’d spend on legal & they took no notice when estimating their costs.

When people say the PL are on a suicide mission isn't this all part of it in that the action with City is just the tip of the iceberg for them and they could easily find themselves with actions to deal with from Etihad, Etisalat, auditors who by extension have all acted fraudulently.

It does surprise me that there is no countersuits for the reputational damage that these companies have acted in an industrial scale fraud.

There is absolutely nothing that has happened in the last three months that should affect how people feel about this hearing. If people were confident three months ago, rationally they should still be confident now

If they are making an emotional response to what is written or said in the media, then they should stop reading or listening to anything in the media at all. Or, at the very least, whenever they do read or see some complete drivel in the media take a few moments to consider each time the point in the first paragraph and ask " what did I actually learn from this that should affect my judgment?". I can assure you the answer for the next three months, at least, will be nothing at all.

There hasn't really been anything that has happened since the day we were charged and issued a statement, that should affect how people feel about it, in all fairness.

Seen some bellend ex Everton CEO or something saying he’s heard whispers from the court that a settlement will be agreed and it will result in 1, possibly 2 relegations

WTF.. what planet is he on? As if city would agree to settle the case with that!!!!

Almost every headline at the moment regarding us is based on quotes by Keith Wyness. He obviously has an agenda, probably due to the fact Everton have been deservedly fucked over by the PL and now he feels we should be done also. He's a convenient soundbite source for the red shirt media to use as quoting his previous role title " ex PL Chairman" appears to give his quotes some authority.

Agree except that I'd remove 'very'. He's decent, makes some interesting points.

But that all happens after matches, I'd bet that he's spoonfed all his analysis by real analysts who understand the data.

I don't recall him ever coming up with astute and relevant tactical points while he's live on co-commentary.

He's a petulant child, he is incapable of holding back his biases and he is petty in debate whenever Liverpool are criticised. His spitting at that girl shows everything he is distilled into one small incident.

That would be beyond the remit of the PL. They could kick us out of the PL if they find us guilty, then it's up to other governing bodies if they accept City. But it's all moot anyway as City have done fuck all wrong other than trump the red top achievements.

Wyness has been spouting his vitriol for a few months now, much of it on F365 who themselves have a clear agenda. I'm not sure exactly what we've done to the **** to turn him into the king of bitter scousers, but whatever it was, we need to do it again and again
