Nobody with any connection to Man City or Sheikh Mansour will do a single day behind bars!

 

They probably get a £25 fine, and a 3 game touchline ban for baldy bollocks!

 

It's a civil matter not criminal so yes, you're right no one will spend time behind bars!

So far. But HMRC prosecute criminally. Different level of proof required granted but if the PL win this case they will be all over it.

Mad that this massive story has been pushed right down the bottom of the BBC's football page.

It didn't make the 6 oclock Granada news last night which I found very strange but it made the late night bulletin

Obtaining a pecuniary advantage by deception is a criminal offence if the police could be arsed to investigate it. But they won’t.

I can’t remember where Granada is based?

Thinking about this, if it ends up with titles being stripped, the end result being we are 2 league wins behind United instead of 1, it’s be the final insult of how bad our lucks gone. 
We went toe to fucking toe and they scraped into 2nd once the league was well gone.

Would simply be another Zahawi situation - pay up and it’s all good.

9 years of deliberate false accounting I doubt it. The whole crux of this case is the first part which basically accuses them of deliberately and knowing manipulating accounts to gain compliance. Its not a Father Ted resting in my account, If the 1st part is proved they've had it.

An hour plus podcast for anyone out for a stroll. The main guy is the top city legal ITK they all refer too. He's incredibly concerned by the seriousness of the allegations and doesn't think the league makes them unless they have strong evidence. He can't see a way out for either party and makes the point about huge lobbying going on in Whitehall. That point is massive, the outcome is either incredibly embarrassing for one of the UK's top brands (The PL) or for the Emirate of Abu Dhabi (even though they aren't state owned and have nothing to do with the state and have never received a penny from them).

 

If I was a top executive at City I'd be googling the death penalty in Abu Dhabi because that looks the likeliest outcome to me. Like the Khashoggi murder it will be blamed on a rogue employee or 2 and we all move on. 

Anyone in any doubt about the seriousness of this give this a listen. Guy knows his onions and is a city fan.

He’s missing a trick by not having ‘And everybody in the bakery, even the other staff, started applauding at the same time as I threw the fucker (the sandwich) on the ground.’

Pep Guardiola is reportedly almost finished shredding thousands of incriminating documents at The Etihad. Manchester City have been charged with more than 100 counts of financial rule breaches.

Shredding

“The shredding is almost finished,” he told Soccer on Sunday. “I will spread the bits across several wheelie bins, and maybe squat over some of the bins and shit into them. We must discourage the Premier League from piecing the documents back together again, no?”

“Does anybody know what ‘The Cloud’ is?” said the 52 year-old. “My lawyer says there might also be some documents stored there. Is the Cloud something I can shred? And related to the last question, is the Cloud something I can squat over and shit onto, after it is shredded?”

“Oh, here’s this Klopp cunt WhatsApp’ing me,” he added. “Smiley face. Unbelievable.”

No point in getting excited about this as nothing is going to happen to city. They've got the best lawyers money can buy and the fa just like fifa will give in to the red tape bullshit they will present.

Charges as serious as this would not be filled by the PL unless they had a pretty firm case if they lose this the PL will go.

[Poor Scouser T]

I urge everyone to listen the legal guy in the podcast even the 1st 1/2 hour 45mins.

The PL are accusing the directors of City of essentially fraud and false accounting over 9 years. Not a mistake but deliberately lying hiding money and not one but for nearly a decade. This is not filling in form wrong I can't see how this is not bordering on criminality.

The PL are basing everything they have on this. everything, lose and they are history it is that serious.

[Poor Scouser T]

Those who say well city will get good lawyers. Who are the shareholders in the PL? Its Liverpool, United, Arsenal, Spurs etc. I recon they will be well represented too.

[Poor Scouser T]

I should add if City loose this on all charges never mind a points deduction they may cease to exist as a company.

[Poor Scouser T]

Company directors have a legal duty under the Companies Act 2006 (“the Act”) not to file false information on Companies House. Knowingly or recklessly delivering information or making a statement to the Registrar of Companies that is misleading, false or deceptive is a criminal offence under s.1112 of the Act and can lead to imprisonment and/or a fine.
