PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[manimanc]

Can you expound upon "connected with City" ?

Yes. A member of his family works at city.

 

[Rammy Blue]

I’ve always said early international break, Mon/Tues next week. I reckon that still stands.

Would you like photos too.... :)

You are confusing me with @Stoned Rose .....

I may be reading too much into it ..... but, it's no use putting champagne on ice unless it's imminent. Let's be generous and say 2 hours for the ice to melt and another hour for the bubbly to come up to room temperature - at which point the exercise was useless. So by my reckoning we should hear in the next 3 hours?

Wasn't wumming at all.
I had a text off someone connected with city simply saying get that champagne on ice. The lad in question knew it was my dad's funeral yesterday and maybe wanted to cheer me up with the text.
I've got giddy and posted khaldoon and soriano celebrating.

Asked my pal is it to do with the 115 and he just sent the wink emoji.

That is all.

Very sorry to hear about your Dad mate.

Mine went last year too - and whilst you never get used to not seeing him and having him there to talk to, it does start to feel a touch easier as the acute loss gets less jarring.

Sending you strength.

Thanks for the post mate, very kind words.

Just for clarity - are they City fans?

 

[mancboy]

Happy with that.

The announcement, if positive for us, should be leaked to friendly press the day Liverpool make it mathematically certain they win the league

Thanks for the info buddy.
So sorry to hear about your Dad.
Keep posting brother blue you are great on here .

I'd take this kind of information over a youtube video all day long.

Mods take note, look how peaceful it can be when the info is clearly explained. No one is running off for a wank, equally no one is calling him a wum

 

[Otamendi's Beard]

Yes and yes.

Would be interesting to know which department they're in. I know a guy who works there and says nobody knows anything.

He reckons a tiny group of people will know right up until announcement.

 

[Damocles]

, equally no one is calling him a wum

He's been here for years, we don't need to

This is where I'm at. I know 3 or 4 people well on the football side and they all basically say the same thing and that we will probably know before they will

Mate of mine played for city still works for city and usually gets a fair bit of info said last week no matter who he asked he can't get a sniff of what is happening.

That's easy. PL can't prove the most serious allegations, big party. PL can prove the most serious allegations, I disappear from BM, never to be seen again.

Win / win for you guys .....

I’ve had a quick go -

Not guilty on most if not all of the charges.

- Richard Masters & Alison Britain (at the very least if not more senior figures) to resign - surely they can't keep their posts.
- City to annouce legal action against the Premier League for reputational damage and associated costs.
- Will the PL want to continue the legal fight and challenge the decision - dunno what grounds would be available and it would only really be the process rather than guilt?
- City to really open up the purse strings for summer rebuild.
- I don't think City will go after anyone in the media from a legal perspective, even if we'd like them to.
- The cartel clubs, Tebas etc to make up new charges and claims, via UEFA.
- A good excuse to relaunch the European Super League.
- The Football Regulator gets a huge boost and gets pushed through with much greater powers.


Guilty on most of the charges

- City board resignations.
- We don't find out the punishments for months so potentially - 6-12 months of speculation on what the punishment will be which will be hell - massive clamour for PL expulsion and trophy stripping.
- Although likely to be big points deduction and transfer bans and maybe Europe ban - which will hit next season.
- If the PL are smart they will only deduct enough points to put City into a relegation battle 40-50 point - so that it plays out over the course of the season.
- Pep to probably resign.
- Nearly all the big earners to go to balance the books - not necessarily a bad thing in some cases - KDB, Gundo, Greals, Stones, Ederson, Kova, - we end up with a very young and hopefully hungry squad. But how do you replace them if we also have transfer ban?
- Minimum 2-4 years out of European competition due to our league position.
- Some sponsors could walk away.
- Huge financial hit which will take years to recover from.
- Essentially we’re totally fucked.
