I am not allowed to post on my clubs forum if i don’t toe the line and agree with all that is said? Or am i going to be questioned as a city supporter on a fishing trip again?
Going to the criminal court will mean the police and HRMC will raid the offices of Man City and their email servers. They will also forensically retrieve any deleted emails which will not help the citeh case and potentially be an act of obstruction of justice. Whatever redacted info will have to be made public which can be very very damaging for UAE’s MFA.
The last thing AUDG/Man City wants is for that to happen as they cannot overturn the evidence unless for very good reasons. Whatever witnesses that AUDG/Man City brings also cannot lie to the court like how they lied to the Commission.
Kopstar might know better but if the owners cut ties and or the club is banished from earth, they might get a judgment against the owners in a court room , lets say in the absence of the owners ( i don’t see them turning up for that case), how is that then enforced?
EDIT: can a block also be put on man city from releasing all its players on free transfers? in a spiteful move, they could terminate all player contracts before the club goes out of existence? So the clubs only assets would be the stadium? it would have to get to a very hostile point for that to be happening tho!
I get what you are saying but it is impossible for a happy ending to this unfortunately. When people are able to look on the inside and find yes it is dodgy and added to that the guilty party are being actively difficult about it, then either they are very, very guilty or there is mass conspiracy and corruption from the investigation. Neither of those are “happy” results.
This isn’t a potential case of mistaken identity, some sort of forgotten rule or misunderstanding that means it was all some terrible unintended cock-up.
It is not about benefit of the doubt. I just haven’t taken a position at all. When it is all done and dusted. I have sort of looked beyond the central issue and for a long time ive looked at the ramifications for everyone involved. Football is a game in which confidence is massive , young players that might have had a different career path . things like that. It is a far bigger issue than getting out the pitchforks. Cheats need to be punished 100%. I became so enveloped in reporting people cheating on PC fifa a fair few years ago that it consumes ones whole time, It ends up destroying ones metnal health. Football for many equals life and it has a massive influence on society. I feel sorry for everyone because there is no happy ending and there doesn’t appear to be any great concern for people. Just money as usual.
Hope this sort of makes sense. I really struggle to articulate my feelings as i forget what i have already typed after a few moments.
yeah deffo for a commonwealth games! I have a thing in my head that they bought the stadium when they took over.. but my memory is hazy on that! I could be getting it confused with leigh sports village or something though and rugby.
