PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[bobbyowenquiff]

Not very private now??? Makes no sense. In what context would they be talking about us & why has Masters revealed this?

I have no idea. Perhaps he is trying to get his excuses in first before the storm breaks over his head. I didn't post the original details of this.

A lot can happen in a week.
Announced on Monday 6th, Tuesday 7th October, no premier league games till the 18th, managers press conferences begin on the 16th.
England national team games , fa media team say the national manager will only talk about England games.
So 10, 9 days for the fall out to drop off

It will literally be announced when the decision is made.

Thinking there's any dressing up and decorating of the timing of it is silly.

Especially if you think the fall out will drop off in a week or two.

sarcasm not your strong suit?

It wasn't aimed at you it was aimed at the posters that claimed this meeting took place and they know the exact details.

Who's paying the wages of the independent commission, the Premier League, wouldn't be unreasonable for them to request certain timing to the announcement

No probs. It seems incredible that Masters met LFC and United seperately before he started work whatever they discussed. Perhaps it has come up in some of the emails the PL had to hand over.

I think this will just keep going on and on until something is settled privately and the general public hear nothing

Yep. I’m sure it will all be kept under wraps. After all, it’s not as if the media are interested. :-) :-)

Went for a pint with a couple of PL executives tonight, who both told me, and they were most insistent upon this, Stan Collymore is a woman beating ****.

Make of that what you will.

Anyone who watched the presser today - anyone notice any unusual body language from Pep? Usually a telling sign.

Hi, do you have a link to that please?

Sorry no, I just read it somewhere and moved on. Try Google.

Now there’s a dichotomy.
PL execs likely to be lying pieces of shit and yet, their description of;
their description of



seems spot on…

Fanciful beyond comprehension this, mate.

I don't know, wasn't it said khaldoon would rather spend £30m on lawyers or something.
This is one way of doing it.
What's pannick on £5k a day.;)

Fwiw, I have always thought the club has manipulated the PL brilliantly into a situation where they had to choose between "embarrassment" in having to close a four year investigation without charges and "embarrassment" in having their allegations roundly countered in a public document after a hearing.

The PL chose the latter. More fool them, imho.

That's what I was trying to say but you've put it down much better.
Basically city's hierarchy saying to the premier League...you want to fuck about we'll show you how the really big boys fuck about.

Premier League appointed them so they must be paying their bills.

I don’t post this lightly, but having spent the last few days with a couple of people in very senior positions at the PL - they are certainly feeling very confident in their position.

You’d expect that, to a point - and clearly this would only be of note or concern if we are to assume either the result has landed with both City and the PL already ahead of publication, and they are therefore reflecting an informed view - or if, given its imminence, the relevant parties have an early impression of the broad direction the ruling is going to take.

On this - it’s worth reiterating that @slbsn has been pretty clear that he has been told, as of close of play on Friday, neither party had received the result - so I’m hoping he’s right on that, as in that context the views relayed to me could simply be evidence of a general level of bravado/confidence/arrogance on behalf of the PL ahead of publication, and not indicative of any specific knowledge.

It’s also worth saying that I don’t know these people well, so whilst certain comments definitely felt more indiscreet than others - they could also simply be holding an agreed/mandated company line or corporate position on the charges which don’t indicate anything of substance either way.

But I find this unlikely, as I’d expect the company line would be to say nothing - and to hold that they are waiting for the panel to arrive at its judgement before making any substantive comments on the situation.

That said, they were definitely very bullish in tone, and dismissed any view that City’s position on the charges held any credibility whatsoever.

Who let this rag bullshitter on here. OOOOOOOOO MATES....Do fuck off you clown
