PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

The comment by Simon Cliff at the PL meeting was basically the point where matters have started to turn nuclear.

The gloves are off

A senior Manchester City figure reportedly left club chiefs in astonishment at the end of the Premier League's shareholders meeting this week. According to a report by The Times, Simon Cliff, City's legal chief, appeared to question some clubs' motives in recent votes.

The report goes on to claim that although Cliff did not name any clubs, he told the Premier League's chairwoman, Alison Brittain, that he wanted the intervention noted in the minutes. It is further claimed Cliff's comments dominated the conversation between club executives once the meeting ended and they were filed under the 'any other business' section of the agenda.

Seriously does anyone think anyone at the club knows anything.
I know we all think things like haaland signing etc is a good thing.
But I'm not sure.
I am sure I've had enough though.
It'll all make the outcome even more sweet

Do the club know the panel's decision? Clearly not

Do the club know if they've done anything illegal? I'd fucking hope so

Could also be related to the rushing thru of the APT amendments?

Possibly. City could be trying to drive a wedge between United, Liverpool, Arsenal & Spurs and the other clubs. Making the point that the other clubs have been bullied into actions that aren’t in their interests.

I just think it’s quite feasible that City will be cleared of the serious charges but convicted of some or all of the non cooperation charges. In which case, when it comes to fighting over costs, the PL will try to argue that the costs increased because of City’s non cooperation. City would probably want to counter that by arguing that the fundamental basis of the charges was malicious and the insistence of the minute at the PL meeting was about putting that on record.

Max Clifford, now in jail?
 
The nastier and more toxic this gets, the better as far as I'm concerned. I personally hope the self proclaimed 'best league in the world' implodes like the Titan submersible.
Watching these club execs trying to destroy each other totally, will be more interesting than watching fucking arsenal players deliberately engineering head injury timeouts so Artwata can give them orders, or watching assistant refs letting VAR do their job for them. Or standing next to half and halfers watching with about as much investment in the match, as me watching a fookin romcom at the flicks for brownie points. Let's have the verdict already, win or lose. Win, and every red shirted **** is having it, up and down Ashton New Road every other week. Lose, and I'll wont give a fook if I don't see them again for a few seasons. I'd rather them throw the book at us than some piffling fine. If we go down I hope we drag the whole stinking lot of them with us. And I want Richard Masters to lose everything in his life that is dear to him. That will do very nicely. I'm proper cheesed off with it all.
