PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

Sorry to put a dampener on things this morning after getting back to winning ways but just thought I’d share this. One of our lot was telling me last night that he heard on Sunday from someone at Anfield that 50-odd charges have fallen away but they’re going to find against us on some of the others, and we’re getting a 40 point deduction. Now if this “someone” was a random bloke, then obviously I wouldn’t even be giving it the time of day, let alone posting it on here. However, we all know or have at least heard of this “someone” - who I won’t name but I’m sure some will be able to work out who it is - and he told my mate that he’d heard this from a contact “high up at the club”.

Anyway, this mate who heard this said he naturally wasn’t in the best of moods as the second half kicked off! However, he has plenty of other contacts in the media and at the club. One of his media contacts is someone who’s been his mate for the past 30-odd years and again is someone we all know as he errr, cough cough, posts on here ;) So he asked him if he’d heard anything about this so-called 40 point deduction. The answer he got back was along the lines of “That’s bollocks as they’ve not even done the summing up yet!”. This is a fair point as while I think both sides might have an inkling of how things are going at this stage, if the summing up hasn’t even started (or is just starting going off the pics that have been posted on here), let alone the panel then sitting down and spending months deliberating, I can’t see how anyone would know at this point in time what our punishment - if there is to be any - would be.

Like I say, sorry for the seemingly negative post but I think it’s only fair that info from sources should be shared regardless of whether it’s positive or negative.
Now I'm no expert, but you don't need to be, sometimes it's easy to wade through the bollocks, and I'm afraid it's clear that what you've been told is nonsense. Closing arguments are still to be presented so it's impossible any sanctions are known let alone the overall decision it's 40 points. At this point no guilt or innocence has been proven.
 
There’s no need to give @M18CTID a hard time. He always posts in good faith, and was only sharing what he’d heard. As others have said though, it’s highly unlikely to be true thankfully.
I agree Rob, but I'm told loads of stuff I don't post as i know using common sense it's most probably nonsense. Nobody deserves abuse but you can't post obvious nonsense and not expect a certain amount of replies.
 
As someone said earlier it's the equivalent of "Send reinforcements, we're going to advance" morphing into "Send three and four pence, we're going to a dance".
Or "the music tonight is country and western" morphing into "the music tonight is some c*** from Preston" :O)

The panel will not even have started deliberating yet. I don’t care how high up someone is or if they are ITK, this is complete rubbish. The panel have apparently reached a verdict on each charge and decided the punishment? Just nonsense.
