PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

PS. We won a match today.

That should tip the thread towards the players know we’ve won the case ;)

Tbf, Alison has demonstrated in a gentle way that she is deffo not anti City. She impressed our club.

It’s ok smiling for the cameras but I’d be questioning the CEO how they threw City under the bus with a stage managed media leaked 115 hit job.

What benefit did that do for the premier league?

I know the arbitrators will stop short of calling it corrupt & our legal fraternity will consider it business over cigars & cognac & all very just but in my mind & im not trying to convince anyone else. On Alison’s & a few others watch an orchestrated attack happened.

It was a class war, we were considered lower class than Rags, Dippers, Arse & Spurs so we were fair game. No fucking way in this world would the premier league have investigated the Rags off a few emails.

Yes, I wouldn't say that she impressed the club. I would say she was duplicitous in her smiling act and Khaldoon was being equally duplicitous in his clearly different public treatment of Brittain and Masters. It's hard to take anything anyone says or does at face value these days.

As you say, though, it is incredible people would think she has nothing to do with what is going on. Masters reports to her, after all.

It’s all double speak, even when complimentary it’s a subtle dig at the organisation. I wasn’t suitable to the boardroom with my reluctance to avoid saying what it is.

“Khaldoon Al Mubarak, the chairman of Manchester City, praised Alison Brittain after the recent trophy presentation. Her presence and genuine warmth while greeting the players were noted positively, especially in contrast to the Premier League chief executive's absence.”

I don’t see the point in living in a delusion that the PL have just pursued a case to the ends of the earth that they know they will lose and spent 10s of millions doing that. It’s simply not realistic. They obviously think they have a belief they can win before the hearing. Now it’s complete, that is much less clear because it May now be obvious they failed - in fact City’s confidence is that

Surely their previous control of Panel results (say Leicester) and media content and of course other PL clubshas made their decision makers confident they can get a result whatever the panel comes up with?
What I mean is in normal circumstances legal advice should be taken (as we all do) but their decision makers may be happy whatever the result because they can get their bills paid and get the media to focus solely on their wins.

Unlikely as you say but perhaps they don't care any more.

I would agree with you if it wasnt for the sheer volume of the charges, i think if they had any belief that they could make any of the serious charges stick the spurious charges of none cooperation etc would not have needed to be included.

 

[give it to gordon]

This duty of good faith I real don't understand.
The hateful 8 with that letter didn't break that rule.
Dippers hacking didn't break that rule.

It seems this duty of good faith is only applied when it suits the American cartel.

Also how did the pl lawyers agree with the charge sheet with so many mistakes in

Bang on

In modern society you cannot take anyone at face value

Values have changed, in the past a man’s word was solid gold now it’s double edged
