So it begins..
Man City's hearing for 115 alleged breaches of Premier League financial rules will finally start NEXT MONTH

Manchester City could learn the outcome of their box-office case with the Premier League as early as January.

The perennial champions are defending 115 separate alleged breaches of financial rules, with it emerging last night that the 10-week hearing is scheduled to begin next month.

City have been accused of financial impropriety spanning nine years from 2009 and the sternest punishment if found guilty is relegation. Points deductions and fines are also potential penalties.

It was suppose to be in November. I don't like the idea of it being brought forward. stinks of some agreement being made.

United States of Israel...

Correct Justin

Israel decides & tells the US President via his AIPAC ‘handler’ what they want him to do

Hopefully more countries drop the dollar as many as possible in sick of the US now it fell to Israel decades ago & now it’s a complete joke & disgrace as are its citizens in their media & status quo overdose induced slumber

Indeed it had become the other 50 states of the USI

It was a no-win situation for them in either case.

Up until now they had been (rightly) getting slammed for why it's taking them so long to sort City's mess out, when the likes of the Blueshites and others have been charged multiple times and even punished already.

But now they bring the hearing forward (probably in the hopes of tamping down some of that criticism), and they then again also get dogged by claims that something fishy's going on and it's because an agreement's already been reached behind closed doors.
(could be true, by the way).

Of course, all of this is all their fault anyway.

If City get exonarated or get away with a slap on the wrist, it's just going to compound the perception that the whole hearing and charges were just for show and it's been a farce all along.

On the other hand, if City somehow get found guilty on the most serious of charges and get recommended the heaviest punishment, then it's going to call into question the least several seasons of their dominance in winning the league and all their success and even call into question the legitimacy of this season.

I see an agreement being made behind closed doors that save face for the league, gives City some tokenistic "punishment" to make people "happy" (maybe a points deduction that they'll likely claw back in no time and be back to challenging for the title), and then hurriedly sweep everything under the rug and hope everyone forgets and moves on.

Undisclosed fine, case closed.

PL suits get a nice big bonus courtesy of Sheikh Mansour and City can crack on.

they should at least be docked points for refusing to hand over their finances for the last 4/5/6 years or however long it is.
the other 93 clubs have had to do it. no excuse for them not too

LOL!!!!

Apparently they're the bookmakers top bet to win the lot this season (not unexpected...)......
......
.....

....AND to be relegated.

It would be high level comedy gold, if they actually did achieve both in the same season.

[justincredible]

If they allow City to get away with then it will open up floodgates , it will undermine all their rules....


It’s why it’s gone to independent and there is no appeal process to CAS or WRC...
