PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

I’ve thought about this and chatted to mates about it.

If we are found guilty of the more serious stuff or bloody all of it, the fanbase should demand the entire boardroom and Chairman resigned/sacked and demand the shareholders sell their shares/the club. Also for all the other clubs in the CFG to be sold and City become a singular club again.

None of them would deserve to continue working for or owning our football club. They’ll have lied to fans, Pep and players, making their fantastic achievements mean less. In many ways it would ruin the careers of the likes of David Silva, Kun Agüero, Kevin De Bruyne etc.; it would ruin the reputation of our club forever; plus it will make our fanbase look like a fucking joke who’ve been defending the club against the entire world.

Nobody running or owning the club could possibly stay.

I’d want a mass of the fanbase outside the ground protesting about it to get them all gone.

I’d still support City though. I’d still be there every week supporting a new look City with new owners/shareholders, a new Chairman and boardroom, new players and manager (because I’d doubt many would stick around) whatever league we were in. For the future of the club, it would need us more than ever before. We’d have to build our reputation and standing in the game back up ourselves. Maybe for us to become fan owned, at least to 51%.

Let’s hope it doesn’t come to this.

If we’re found guilty I’ll still believe it’s a fix - a witch hunt - a cartel fraudulent investigation

Would you believe the PL over our fabulous owners?

Like the main feeling on here, It's the Premier League have to prove without any doubt we are guilty of cheating
Forget a mistake or not understanding the rules ? our accounts have to be signed off by the accountants every year and placed on file for all the governing bodies account teams to see and then allow Manchester City to play in their competitions.

So why have the Premier League team of accountants and the FFP team and its rules not stopped us from playing before now ? Why have Manchester City been allowed to play in the Premier League since 2013 if we have been cheating all this time,

Sorry something stinks here,
We are talking about a major governing body being told we are cheating by (somebody) (another club) (Stolen Fake emails) and believe it, Come on, does it really work like that, YOU need 100% proof and solid evidence to place charges against the club or you will look like fools.

I could be wrong on this but having perfectly legal and legitimate accounts doesn't necessarily mean you haven't broken PL rules.

The way we interpret or report certain dealings can be legal but the PL may argue we didn't report them in the manner they required.

This is one of the worries about the PL. They are judge and jury and we have little (if any) recourse to challenge the final decision of the panel. We just have to have enough faith that the independent panel truly are independent and act in truly honourable fashion. There is a chance they may rule that City took too many liberties. Hopefully they'll go the other way and deem the PL to have been too draconian and possibly targeted City unfairly.

TBF that’s on a par with the City guilty or got away with it as sounds like your decision is made.

We won’t get this from opposing, but I genuinely believe the IC will make the judgment as best they can.

I would also assume the guilty verdict is tougher to come by then the not guilty and therefore I would be interested in how they came to that conclusion and would read the judgement and make a decision from that.

I would listen to what the club said as well.

However, I am not if we did it all out or not support.

I think the rules are made up BS, what was won on the pitch was won on the pitch and the memories are mine.

Just be another step in the fabulous world of supporting City, the club with the most unique footballing journey!!

If no concealment or fraud has taken place then practically everything is time barred
 
I’m starting a new rumour we have been given 30 points this season, rumours are just that and no one knows how this plays out. Either way I’m City till I die.
