PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

Of course, I'm currently in the process of gifting David Silva the shirt he wore back in the 12/13 season from the away Madrid game, which I hoping to do in person, he actually doesn't have many shirts from his time with us believe or not, but that's another story, so from a conversation I had yesterday with someone who works within the club, who mentioned it will end up just being fines from the PL, mostly the silly charges they added, which we will then appeal.

I don't know anything more other than that conversation I had yesterday, although I wish I hadn’t posted anything as some of the response is bonkers, I’ve never posted anything about it before and find the whole thing boring and tiring listening to every dickhead who’s knows nothing having a free pop at us but was a little giddy yesterday, and tipsy that it’s soon coming to an end.

I hope the club rip every man and his dog to shreds after it for putting us all through this tiresome bullshit which by the look of this thread has seriously affected some people's mental health.

I long for the days when it was all about 22 men kicking a ball about, and what you got, you got, and then just got on with it !!

Which are the “silly” charges?

Surely if they were silly we wouldn’t be in breach of them?

"I had yesterday with someone who works within the club, who mentioned it will end up just being fines from the PL, mostly the silly charges they added, which we will then appeal." What level does this person work at and would it be usual for them to be privy to such "classified" information ?
 
I defintely know that some people know already, I just can't say who they are as I don't know.

All I DO know is, we're going to find out VERY soon, or sometime later, could be one of the two. The news is going to be VERY favourable to one group and DEVASTATING to another group, as to which I cannot say right now, for obvious reasons.

So keep the faith Blues, or lose it, it depends which.

Well if a man like Mark got excited about it then it probably wasn't the hot dog vendor.

Actually, we don't know that for certain do we? That was broken by The Lawyer and no-one ever contradicted or confirmed it, I don't think, but nobody really knows anything. If I was the PL or the club, I would be wanting to avoid the complete shit show the APT judgment became by not completely finalising the judgment in one hearing. Just a thought.

Another thought is that we still have no idea of the complete allegations. We know what some of them most likely are: funding of sponsorships, possibly the related party nature of sponsorships and fair values, Mancini, possibly Fordham, Toure and so on. But it's entirely possible the PL found some additional issues during their investigation of which we aren't aware. Unknown unknowns, if you will. So, while I am entirely confident on the most serious issues, it's absolutely possible that the PL may be able to prove to the satisfaction of the panel some of their less serious allegations about which we know little or nothing.

I suppose my point is nobody knows anything. It's best for us to have slightly lower expectations and be delighted with a more favourable outcome, than be expecting a completely favourable outcome and then be depressed about an outcome that is very satisfactory in the greater scheme of things, but less than perfect.

Quite apart from the fact that they have enough to be getting on with for the time being in any event, just how many combinations of the possible verdicts on those 130 charges do you think the panel wanted to be addressed on in the event that the League proved some of its charges but not all?

Why ask that? Why not just take it in good faith that Mark has been told what he’s been told?
