Manchester City's Sham Trial

[mahermi1]

Do we have grounds for legal action over this?

No like the Ukraine war, we should have known it was coming. #Richard Masters"

Masters is going to single handedly bankrupt the Premier League.

I hope they all personally sue Masters.

Does this decision impact the 115+ charges? Does it wipe them all away, or are there still a decision(s) to come?

£20m fine incoming to Goodison for failing to control players

And a penalty to the RS.

 

[RomanReigns]

40 points deduction with games still to play against liverpool, forest away, man utd away (derby), everton away, villa would make it interesting

i think they could still avoid relegation though, especially if they win their last 4 games in a row against wolves, southampton, bournemouth and fulham.

None of the above is linked to the 115 charges levelled at City by the Premier League, over alleged breaches of financial rules. While that case has been heard, a verdict remains outstanding.

Thanks Goat, just wanted that clarifying. Good to know those cheats may yet still get absolutely malleted...

Some of the 115 charges relate to City not cooperating with the PL

And you know they’ll appeal any verdict and drag it out for years

But the precedent has been set. They can appeal, but the points are removed until such an appeal is heard. If their hearing is heard in September, they'll have the Championship won by October.

I don't believe they can appeal. They could the UEFA decision to ban them from European competition for 2 years, which they had overturned, but I don't think they can appeal the 115+ charges. I may be wrong...

Willing to bet they’ll find a way to take it to High Court if they feel the need. Got the money and the legal team to bust the PL never mind tying them up in knots

"Hello Mr. Friedkin, Its me Mr. Friedkin.. Toyota want to offer everton £500m for Shirt and Stadium sponsor".

 

[Wat Tyler]

I thought that they can appeal but it would have to be heard this year, not this season, so they can carry it over until start of next season.

Not 100% sure though

Football in England is slowly eating itself. Desserts coming up soon.

Surprised to not see a City fan in here patting us on the head for our result in the week.
