Well I did not know this



Looks like the PL decision is final.

Yep. Let’s see if they have the stones to do the right thing and destroy these cheating pricks.

I suspect a bashing with a wet lettuce leaf is more likely though.

it's not the premier league, its going to an independent commission.

This is systematic financial fraud almost from the start of the Abu Dhabi era. Considering the number and severity of charges penalties will be severe if they are found guilty.

The difference with City is they use Abu Dhabi investment fund owned businesse, a state owned fund to launder their money. No other club has that ability apart from Newcastle recently.

This investigation wasnt rushed like the UEFA one due to their 5 year statue of limitations which does not apply in the PL. It is also not in the interests of the PL to charge / penalise them either. Id be amazed if they got out of this with just a fine and/or a points deduction (they are losing the PL anyway this season)

Once found guilty their only options are a CAS appeal or accept the punishment. Court action against the PL isnt an option and in any case all clubs have agreements which state they have to accept disciplanry findings handed down by the PL.

If it is true that UEFA were unable to punish Man City because of the time limit whilst the PL does not (apologies as not fully informed about the earlier UEFA ruling), then you'd suspect this case is far more watertight from the PL and consequently severe punishment is more likely.

I wait with bated breath and I think everyone agrees it's best for some organisation that is completely independent to decide on guilt or innocence. I've read the majority of breaches are FFP related but who f***ing knows, I ain't got time to comb through the documents.

City won 2-1 on the panel for the UEFA case and also had UEFA charges of failing to cooperate upheld. So it was certainly no "win" for them.

The most ridiculous thing about the UEFA case was the fact that one of the 3 person "independent" panel in the UEFA case was a lawyer whos company represented Etihad Airways.

Unsurprisingly that member voted against the more serious charges.

 

[Zidane98]

So the cheating oil burners first tried to stonewall the investigation then stopped cooperating at all.

Of course there is a completely innocent explanation for such behavior.

 

[Magma]

The PL have a set process for serious charges which isnt disputable in court generally. They will set up an independent commissiom and the outcome will be final. After that the only thing up for discussion is penalties.

yes i read it too

 

[Art Vandelay_]

If they can get Abramovich kicked out of the league they can get these pissants get kicked out too.

To think just last week a fan of my club on here openly wanted to replicate these vile campaigners.
Shiny trophies over morals I guess.

mate. My eyes are bleeding reading this.
Did lol at spelling the same word the British and Yank ways haha.

 

[Zidane98]

Apparently this guy is an ex MCFC financial adviser and City fan.

He thinks they are in deep shit.

Ha ha I wonder who that might be.

 

[FreoRicci]

Pep threatening to walk? Heh. Easiest managerial career ever. Never once had to go through a top 4 fight or relegation battle. Good. He can **** off

 

[Zidane98]

This could be Chelsea in 3 years if Todd doesnt stop going nuts!

 

[RandB]

2 more titles for United and 1 for Liverpool if they have the nads.

 

[moomba]

Just seen that one of the potential punishments is to replay matches.

Bloody hell, they're going to send us to Spurs again aren't they?

 

[moomba]

They'll just throw lawyers at it and tie it up in the courts. They won't fight the allegations on merit.

We'll defend our position, as would every other club in the league.

There were some charges that weren't looked at because they were time barred.

The ones that were looked at, CAS repeatedly stated that UEFA had no evidence.

I suspect some of these charges will be time barred, which isn't great for us as people will just presume we got off on a technicality.

There is no time bar for fradulent activity.

He thinks they are in deep s**t.

No he doesn't. He thinks the charges are serious, and if proven would have serious implications. He's also the one that predicted correctly that we would win at CAS.

The panel voted 2-1 against the more serious charges and confirmed the lesser charges in the CAS FFP case.

CAS isnt an option for the PL charges.

Yes, I'm aware of that.

CAS found us guilty of non-cooperation. They either timebarred the financial charges, or found no evidence to support them.
