PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[Blue Lemon]

So I haven't followed this but didn't they say something about mid November? Are we a mere week away from knowing the outcome or is this going to continue dragging

Only 5940 pages to catch up on then, mate. You'll find the answer in there somewhere.

 

[Cobwebcat]

Anything he wants except claiming the club is braced for possible bad news when in its statements and in three annual interviews with Khaldoon there is nothing but supreme confidence in a wholly positive outcome.

You’re having a nightmare today.

It's not the destination but the friends we make along the way.

Id change destination if that was the case

 

[mattcity5]

Have you ever listened to Jamie O’Hara, Charlie Austin or Clinton Morrison and thought they were worth listening to?

I wouldn't class them as experts.

 

[melrose40yarder]

You consider them to be experts? What in?

Talking English it most deinately is not.

I thought it was mid november of 2024.

Bullshittery

Why would you listen to any so called sat in a studio with their agenda

Is that a quote from Michael O Leary?

If that is the case, the PL can charge any club with multiple misdemeanors without recourse.
I suppose they are the rules a club has to agree to.

I think the point is that the emails gave the PL a prima facie case to start an investigation and refer allegations to the disciplinary panel if they didn't get satisfactory answers. They had a reasonable basis to proceed. If that original case wasn't there, they would be in trouble if they investigated, charged and failed to prove.

And I have always thought it is the club who manoeuvred the PL into that situation for a couple of reasons that I won't go into again as I am the only person on the planet who thinks that :)

 

[halfcenturyup]

Do I fuck that’s my point.

Sky and presumably most of their subscribers do though.

You should be able rely on experts for their opinions in their particular area of expertise (clearly that doesn't work for football). That doesn't mean everything an expert says on every other matter should be accepted without question, though.

I can't believe how little we learn about the game from ex-players - we learn more about their tactics in the bars and night clubs than we do on the pitch.

Firmly bites lip :)

 

[Dannyblue52]

I suspect that, like CAS, the panel will make a point that the PL were perfectly within their rights to refer the allegations to a disciplinary panel. Even I, who thinks the PL are getting royally screwed, can't see a situation where the award suggests, in any way, that the PL acted in bad faith.

It would be funny as fuck if they did, though :)

Depends what evidence there is in the e mails between certain clubs and the premier league.

I would like to know those reasons, but as it may open an old can of worms I can understand why you wouldn't want to divulge them again.

That's mainly due to the age of them, none of them played with tactics, just pashun.

The way it’s dragging on without so much as a hint from anywhere suggests it’ll probably end up next year sometime and when it does finally come out, I bet it’s a huge anticlimax where both sides agree to nothing happening.

No punishment for us, no retribution on the PL or cartel.

There you go - talking about bars and night clubs again.

But that’s what they are employed as. That’s what pundits exist for isn’t it? Their expertise?
Anyway, I think you’re missing his point.

I probably am, I started reading the discussion halfway through and wasn't bothered enough to read back.

RE the football experts. You'd think they were employed for that, but they aren't. They are just known names and known voices to provide points of view/arguments. Very few provide any sort of expert opinion. Football at the top level these days is too complex for many of the old boys to understand, at least in realtime. Most wouldn't understand the level of Pep's tactics without having worked with him.

I’m going off topic here, but to your point I don’t entirely disagree. If it were up to me I wouldn’t have any ex-players employed as pundits - they would all be ex-pros who have also been managers for a significant period too - there are exceptions, but as a general rule of thumb they are much better than those who have come straight from a career as a player.
