PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

I reckon we’re on for a good few leaks after today’s PL meeting.

The way the wind has blown will start to become apparent.
I agree.

Let’s see what pops over the next few days. Anything negative can be positively received. That rehashed piece of shit from the athletic is a good start.
 
I’ll be sure to @ you in my future posts directed towards the intelligentsia mate :)
Oh no don't mate, I've posted that after googling Jaber mohamed and cas.

It's all out there. The Athletic said this at the end of the story.

No evidence.

Translated as we're making this shit up.
 
Does anyone think that the club have been informed yet, but are bound by some sort of gagging order/embargo, and can't breathe a word until the PL say so? Have to be honest here, I really don't know what think*. The early days of last week were crazy on here, with speculation about an imminent announcement. Which, of course, never came.


*But if I was to take a guess (repeat, for the hard of hearing; GUESS) , I'd say that they don't know yet.

Buried at the bottom of the article. It's pathetic. The audience they're targeting will be changing their underpants by the time they reach the final paragraph.

Clear and organised and given the source, NY Times/Athletic, stinking of Scouse
 
I've been sitting here quietly thinking, obviously nothing newsworthy is going on right now, if we're cleared of these chargers then we all know Masters position is untenable and he'll have to go. What sort of person do we think he is, is he going to have to be sacked or will he fall on his sword? Personally I believe he's going to have to be pushed and if he is, will he fight, blaming the red cartel for forcing him into bringing the charges? Just imagine him telling the press it was all at the instigation of the American owners, shouting it from the rooftops trying to save himself! It's only a thought and given how he bottled turning up at the Etihad for the trophy last season and unlikely one at that.
If we win the case on all major points I’m not completely convinced they will sack masters. He did what the cartel asked, it didn’t work so they’ll want to hatch some other plans to stop us. They need a patsy to play ball and masters is it.
 
I'd argue this remains relevant to the latest rehash of this Jaber Mohamed piece https://stefanborson.substack.com/p/conspiracy-theories-and-innuendo

This Athletic article may be the killer point that we'd never known before but I'd be surprised. I guess it could be an issue if someone gave direct evidence at the hearing that, say, Jaber Mohamed was never at CPC. But you'd be pretty surprised if someone opted to say that if it is/was public that he was.

Surprised the piece doesn't point out that Mohamed Al Mazrouei was also Chairman of Etihad Aviation until August 2021.

"Adding to the questions to be answered, it can also be revealed that another key figure at City, former board member Mohamed Al Mazrouei, is listed as working at the CPC as the organisation’s undersecretary.

This role, according to the CPC, saw him “determine the strategic direction and the internal policies of the CPC and supervise its implementation”, where he “reported directly to the chairman (MBZ).” He and Jaber Mohamed, at the time of the payments, were the two most senior employees of the CPC.

According to the UAE Cabinet’s website, Al Mazrouei served as undersecretary of the CPC from 2009 to 2022, and is now the Minister of State for Defense. He sat on the City board from January 30 2010 until January 1 2022, just over a year before the Premier League announced they had charged City with at least 115 breaches of financial rules."


Seems to me, the article fairly confirms (with a dose of innuendo) what we already know. The individuals involved in City hold very senior positions in the UAE. Not sure how that, in itself, is either news or moves the dial. But perhaps I am missing the key point. Not sure. Will read it again.
 
My reading of it is this.

- PL Shareholder meeting today, usual leaks follow.
- City are expected to win it, last chance for the likes of the Athletic to publish these click goldmine articles before they will be cooked by City's legal bods for doing so, after a successful verdict.
If I was a shareholder in some of these publications, I'd be selling up everything right now...
