PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

It is just a pure guess but I wouldn't be surprised if Khaldoon and Sheikh Mansour were happy with United's proposals. Sheikh Mansour has made enormous profits on his investments in Manchester. The more successful Manchester is the richer he will become. Inward investment in Trafford can only boost the ongoing development of the city region. I also don't believe Burnham and Ratcliffe would have both been so public with their comments unless they had an investor lined up. Burnham has been adamant that no public money will be used. It would be career suicide for him if he was lying about that.

I think Gov money is not going to be easily obtained for any project let alone Sir Jim's.
I know our owner planned investment deals in the past with Real Madrid that eventually fell through so we may find he may simply see investment opportunity with Sir Jim (that's what he does).

Well I'm 100% sure we not guilty of anything bar a few non-cooperation charges so he can f*ck off!

The accounts relate to 2024/25 season which has no relevance to the allegations. If guilty another hearing will be held to decide any sanction. So Magic Hat is a clueless liar.

I heard the middle east link to the United plans soon after it was announced from a business contact. The Ratcliffe stance is clear because he knows Khaldoon and he has recruited some of our senior staff. Notably Berrada. Ratcliffe has publically supported City on the 115 case allegations. He must have done due diligence on Berrada before taking him on. The media have stopped running stories which have obviously come from David Gill via Tariq Panja. Ratcliffe has also put Ferguson back in his box. The main drivers of the hate since then (and probably before) have been Levy and Lewis and they have both gone for whatever reasons. Liverpool have also calmed down since Klopp left.

So 3 of 4 CEOs in place in 2023 at Rags, Arsenal & Spurs have all left with only Billy Hogan at the Dippers still in place. So if Hogan goes which is unlikely as he’s embedded in FSG then I can defo climb on this conspiracy.

I think he is trying to say that a very negative "liability hearing" outcome for City would require some serious discussions between auditors and management / Board about how it would affect the club's ability to continue as a "going concern". The club has large fixed costs (wages) and revenue tied largely to success or, at least, propriety. It's not about 2024/25, it would be about the future. And, in case of a seriously negative outcome on liability, the auditors may insist on waiting for the sanctions before concluding. At least, they would need confirmation that Mansour would continue to invest in the club as needed and, if he and the club had been found guilty of fraud, would he want to, or would he be able to? Would Etihad continue their sponsorship, for example? Also, there would be the huge question of compensation to other clubs. It's not unreasonable to suspect the auditors would delay the accounts if there was a very unfavourable outcome on liability.

But it ignores two things: firstly, a very negative outcome just isn't going to happen and, secondly, the "delay" in announcing, such as it is, just doesn't support such a radical conclusion.

So, as you were ....

He's not intelligent enough to know or think that
He's just added 2+2 and got 7

In fact, he'll copy and paste what you've written into his next few tweets

Isn’t it interesting that the red shirt fans don’t care about Chelsea and their charges related to off book payments that they have admitted to. Even the likes of Carragher are completely silent on this.

Good, it's probably all bollocks.

The old Soriano "winkle out the spy" trick: feed someone bullshit and see if it's repeated :)

I think we all rely on your initial interpretation of events that give us 90 percent probability.

We all then get partial legal "correction" from the usual sources but keep thinking like you do.

His predictions don't hold much water. Pretty sure he was predicting that we eouldbe expelled from the PL by last summer and making hairbrain claims about our transfer strategy being an indication that we were preparing for this.

It’s very interesting. I cannot for the life of me work out why they are so invested however in seeing to it that the Muslim-owned Manchester City are well and truly punished. Whether or not we have actually done anything wrong.

It’s a head scratcher.
