PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[Brightwell Bros.]

You know the rules.

Sit on your hands and no touching while Stefan is dancing for me?

Not really- this makes some points that are simply wrong

About the standard of proof?

Never mind. It doesn't matter. I think we know where we are with the 115 case.

Not listened to that Fat Talksport Gobshite since returning from the 4-2 defeat at Leicester and his insistence that Pep had already been sussed out by his PL counterparts

He was talking bollocks then and he's talking bollocks now.

Hate to be one of those people but heard another positive soft signal (not transfer related) this morning. Seems to me that it would be incompatible with a finding of serious wrong doing at the club. I can't say anything specific but consistent with the other soft signals (being something in the background that would seem unlikely if a seriously negative outcome was coming from the case).

Maybe I'm a bit dim, but the fact that we haven't been asset stripping the club for 3 years already were really the only soft signal I ever needed

Yes. It is simply not close to the criminal standard

People posting that Pinto has held hacked emails back as security for himself is absolute bollocks.

What he has released through Footy Leaks and Luanda Leaks has cost many of the targets untold losses of multi millions and criminal investigations in many countries.

If we lose the 115/130 case then the financial loss to City would be in the hundreds of millions, the loss of value in the club and CFG could be in the billions with unrepairable reputational damage.

The idea that he has just given a teaser and holding back the juicy stuff on any of the targets is nonsense.

He’s balls deep already and nothing he has held back would make a difference.
Posturing by him and his lawyer about being a whilstleblower is simple PR for his next criminal case where he will hopefully get prison time.

These soft signals are not simply the result of a therapeutic dose of Dulcolax?

Merry Christmas everyone. Feeling the Xmas spirit now. Let’s thrash Everton

Woah someone’s been on the Christmas sherry :D

Coming from someone who does his best to try and keep our feet on the ground, that sounds very promising.

Is it a £200 million a year sponsorship deal with Coca-Cola? ;) Imagine the piss boiling that would cause!

The anti-CITY agenda on the radio and wider media is deep-rooted and systemic (yes, I know - statement of the obvious). I had 5-live on in the car and someone was reporting on Leicester's loss to Wolves and that there next games are against Liverpool and CITY - the host quickly (and in a snide way) came back with - well against CITY that is a guaranteed 3 points for Ruud.

I know I may be being over-sensitive - but it is non-stop

Your being over sensitive. For once 5 live was telling the truth. But you are right they don't like us very much.
