Emirates Marketing Project

This lot have some tough domestic fixtures in the next six weeks including:

United (a)
Chelsea (a)
Liverpool (h)
Spurs (h)
Villa (a)

And then they are into the very congested Christmas and new year program.

They are not the team they were last season and I think someone else will win the title.
Until they storm the 2nd half of the season again
 
The next five games for city will have a big say in how comfortably they win the league. They appear to be hitting their stride.

Chelsea, Liverpool, Spurs, Villa and then erm Luton away.
 
On another fudging planet over there, mental gymnastics to justify all the cheating they have done, and one poster even opines on why nobody respects their “success”.
 

EXCLUSIVE: Emirates Marketing Project and the Premier League agree date for trial over 115 financial rule-break charges - with expected timing for the verdict FINALLY set, when they could face a huge points deduction​

  • Emirates Marketing Project will face off with Premier League over 115 alleged breaches
  • The trial is expected to begin in the late autumn of next year
Football's trial of the century has been pencilled in for late next year.

Mail Sport understands that the Premier League and Emirates Marketing Project have agreed a date at which they will face off in front of an independent panel in arguably the biggest hearing in the competition's history.

The top-flight charged its champions with 115 alleged breaches of financial regulations in February after opening an investigation in 2018.

Throughout a long-running saga the competition and the club have remained tight-lipped – and both declined to comment when contacted.

However, it can be revealed that a date for the showdown has been initially scheduled for the late autumn of 2024.

Pep Guardiola's team could face a huge points deduction if found guilty of wrongdoing

Those with knowledge of the situation believe that a conclusion may not follow until the end of next season – which is when City boss Pep Guardiola's current contract is due to expire.

It is understood that what has been a highly confidential process is currently at the stage where statements are being taken from witnesses – which is likely to remain the case until next spring.

Should the trial go ahead on time, a verdict would be likely around the summer of 2025.

Delays, however, may well push the proceedings back further. And should either party find the eventual outcome unpalatable it would be difficult to imagine a world in which they would not appeal. Such a scenario would add significant time.

Should they need to, City may well explore further avenues, although they would not be able to go to the Court of Arbitration for Sport, where they successfully had their UEFA-delivered Champions League ban overturned.

City are accused of breaching 115 regulations over 14 seasons from 2009-10 onwards.

The charges include claims over financial reporting and a lack of co-operation with a Premier League investigation which was opened in 2018. City deny any wrongdoing.

Everton were charged with breaking financial rules in March, a month after City's charges were announced, and earlier this month were given a 10-point deduction, which they have appealed.

Guardiola recently stated that everyone outside the club wanted to see them punished over the allegations.

'We are innocent until guilt is proved,' he said before last weekend's draw with Liverpool. 'I know the people want it (City punished). I know, I feel it. I will wait and see, and after the sentence has been done we will come here and explain.'

He added that he would remain at the club, even if they were found guilty and relegated down the divisions.

'Absolutely, I will not consider my future (if) it depends being here or being in League One,' Guardiola said. 'There is more chance to stay if we are in League One than if we were in the Champions League.'

City have previously insisted that they have 'irrefutable evidence' to back their case.

 
Simon Jordan just discussed this today. Said there won't be an initial verdict until the end of next season, then City would certainly appeal which will take another 12-18 months and then a final appeal to CAS would be another year or so on top of that, and we might not see any final outcome til close to 2030!!!
 
They should at least be deducted ten points per charge they're found guilty of and the points to be taken across multiple PL seasons. Every time they come back up they know they'll finish the season on 0 points until the complete sentence has been served.

Obviously they should be stripped of everything they've won during this era as well.

Can’t appeal to cas.

The appeal will be just a new tribunal by the prem.
 
How has Haaland escaped sanction by the FA. It's basically a green light to insult referees if they have made a mistake.

Thought I saw a post from pretty boy claiming match fixing, or was that a fake?

Approaching a ref is a yellow card offence. Can they give a retrospect yellow?
