no it isn't. Be honest, you have no education in law do you, so you aren't in any position to comment on the law. If baffles me why joe public just make up unsubstantiated nonsense and the legal system operates. It's ok to just sometimes admit that "I don't know enough about this subject to have an opinion" If an individual is charged of committing an offence, they firstly have the opportunity to admit guilt (or in city's case, liability) and if they contest the allegations then they are taken to trial and have their opportunity to explain why they believe they haven't contravened the law. Trials aren't just listed overnight, it takes months, years to bring these issues to Court. That's the situation we find City in. We are in the pre-trial stage. It will end up in Court and City will have to answer to the charges made against them. It's up to the Claimant party (the Premier league) to provide adequate evidence that City have indeed cooked the books and inflated their sponsorships. If they can't do that, then City will walk away without any punishment. We don't live in Russia, China or the Middle East where they'll just bang you up without trial. Count yourself lucky that we at least have a legal system that'll give you your day in court.

BBC 8 May 2024 Updated 15 May 2024: What are the 115 charges against Man City? 1• 54x Failure to provide accurate financial information 2009-10 to 2017-18. 2• 14x Failure to provide accurate details for player and manager payments from 2009-10 to 2017-18. 3• 5x Failure to comply with Uefa's rules including Financial Fair Play (FFP) 2013-14 to 2017-18. 4• 7x Breaching Premier League's PSR rules 2015-16 to 2017-18. 5• 35x Failure to co-operate with Premier League investigations December 2018 - Feb 2023. 103 of the charges 1, 2, and 5 above are technical phony charges brought by PL because the big charges 3 and 4 are wrong or hard to prove.

Long story short: even *that* is City's fault! And yes, City are indeed doing in partly in the hope that we fans will blame the PL for the problem, *not* City itself! Don't fall for it!

Interesting that he said this stuff though, and will be interesting to see where this goes eventually. I do not care, i gave up watching arsenal in 2002, i just find it all hilarious seeing the supposed top league in the world who forever point fingers at others go through the same as all other leagues. Klopp is tired of football and i do not blame him, he got his trophies at liverpool, and now is leaving. Hilarious though that epl has turned into this one team league, and it makes you wonder what klopp knew, as there is no way that these people at big clubs do not speak about these issues. There must be people advising liverpool on these issues, and klopp must have some idea. German league in comparison is run in correct way. You would never see bayern munich do this sort of thing. English top league is hilarious today, as it points fingers at other leagues, and is turning into a 1 team league.

Man City came like a bolt out of the blue from 2011 onwards and claim their success is simply down to smart decisions and hard work. I beg to differ. Even Leicester City didn’t sustain that success after winning a title and quickly fell off the radar. The rise in success coincides with the time period these charges exist from.

[@tomben6180]

Erm, that’s because FFPR didn’t come into effect until 2012 you nugget. The owners could spend whatever they wished. Leicester won the league when FFPR had 4 financial years…and their owner wasn’t/isn’t as rich as City’s.

[@imouto4hire]

How is it not due to smart decisions and hard work? Man City took the time to build an incredibly solid infrastructure, instilled an effective recruitment strategy, and implemented a set of standards that everyone, from backroom staff to players, must meet. They did not just splurge their money on galactico signings like PSG tried to do. They invested their money smartly and worked incredibly hard to achieve their success.

The emphasis over the 115 is driven solely by the haters on social media. We have a presumption of innocence until proved guilty in the country-England, as Jim says. No inference as to guilt can be drawn at this stage. The sponsorship matters were decided by CAS already. Simon is spot on. Any good lawyer, as I was, knows full well that you choose the best charges and proceed only on those. In that way you have a manageable trial. 115 is not, which is why it is taking so long.

[@daleviker5884]

Quite correct, but don't mistake this audience for one with a double digit IQ. About 90% don't even know why it takes longer to sort out one matter where the club pleads guilty than it does to sort out 115 matters where another club pleads not guilty.

They have bought the league multiple times. They spent billions creating a club that would entice the biggest manager around. Then they spent less to build the squad because the manager was the enticement not the wages. No one can deny that. Whether they spent money legally or not will be decided. Whether they deserve the ‘respect’ afforded to other clubs who have won the same trophies through legitimate means is not up for debate. Manchester City will never be mentioned in the same breath as legacy clubs like Liverpool, Manchester United and Arsenal. Money can buy success but not respect. They are the rich kid whose parents bought them a trophy.

I wish Simon would lose the “City delaying tactic” narrative. It took the PL FOUR YEARS to investigate and bring the charges. Yet he thinks City should defend themselves in minutes. You don’t lay down the most serious of charges as the PL have done and then expect a quick resolution. It just isn’t happening. Also, it’s not for City to prove innocence, the PL have to prove guilt and if they have the smoking gun that gives them a slam dunk, why did it take them FOUR YEARS to bring the charges?

[@triplenz]

PL didn't delay the charges. PL got the permission to publish the charges after City delayed their responsibility to share documentation.
