So city bung the premier league more
Money and it goes away basically. Well, their treble will never be seen as legitimate in the eyes of fans so that’s probably a big enough punishment.

So city bung the premier league more

If there is a “settlement” I’m assuming that means a financial one? In which case does it just go to the PL?
Makes sense if true
Almost laughable if it weren't sadly likely true. PL knows they have them over a barrel and City will basically be asking 'how much to make this go away'. Then PL will issue a fine and make out it's a huge unprecedented amount, like £10-20m, and say City are now operating in an excellent manner, all the pundits will wax lyrical about them and no one will be surprised in the slightest.
“Impressed by the reaction to the charges” 
I bet they are.
I bet they are.A settlement? For a categorical obliteration of the rules for 15 years?
That'd be both devastating but hilarious at the same time.
Still, let's wait for something a little more concrete than a random redcafe guy's anonymous mate eh.

That would be the biggest joke of the century. That's how much City sell their youth team players.
How can you have a settlement? Settlement to whom? The clubs your cheating has affected? The league itself? What?
No way in hell the PL could do that in my opinion. Its basically admitting they expect to lose. It also doesn't work for City at least for me as a City fan. Accepting a settlement, offers City nothing. City have been saying clearly not guilty, a settlement would do nothing to clear their name.
A settlement leaves this hanging over City and makes the PL look like they fabricated 115 charges, both teams are losers.
Where the feck are updates coming from?
Honestly it feels like nonsense. The PL said people will hear nothing until its done, this was from the friend of a Caf poster or something.

This lot are such a soulless club, can't stand them and their pointless empty stadium.
The Prem are impressed about how City are now operating, still denying all charges and any wrongdoing, while they hold supposedly overwhelming evidence of fraud and financial malpractice?
When are Chelsea going to be charged?
His "mate" must be a piss-artist down his local. This scenario makes no sense whatsoever.
Someone in the PL legal team would also be under strong confidentiality rules, especially for their most high-profile case. Sounds like a load of nonsense.
Haven't the FA stated that City have been refusing to cooperate with some records as well?
That "news" makes no sense.

UEFA warned Premier League charges for Man City could cause 'mutiny'

Aaaand City's CEO Ferran Soriano is now on the European Clubs’ Association Board until 2027 [BBC]. A step towards softer penalties for the 115 charges?
This should never have been allowed to happen, it just gives City more power over European football and a position they can use to force through the abolition of FFP
The ECA doesn’t have jurisdiction over the premier league does it?
Nope, it doesn't have jurisdiction over it formally.
I'm no expert on this obviously, however a lot of the literature suggests that the ECA boasts a lot of influence over UEFA and represents in an outsized manner the interests of the most elite clubs in Europe in a way that’s detrimental to national leagues.

How much would this be mentioned in the media had it been United who even potentially breached financial regulations?
A lot more because people actually care about us, to put it simply.
A lot more love to see us fall. Including a lot of journos who had to live with us under the Ferguson years.
As I have said before - why even bother if we break FFP by signing £20-30 million more than we are allowed to - we are not going to get punished anyway
Childhood trauma is a bitch.
The state of United’s jacuzzi and kitchen after CR7’s interview had more clicks than City’s FFP breaches
What’s going on with this? Take it they’ve got away with it again?
Yeah. They'll never get held to account for this crap, you can be sure of that. Just too much money and influence in the right areas.
Can someone correct me if I am wrong, but thought they do not own the stadium?
They don’t but haven’t they leased it for like 200 years? It’s effectively theirs.
On another note, that article is why sports washing is very effective.
No mention City are an oil state funded club.

So the people who own it (the taxpayers) will get zilch in their lifetime back.
Apart from the approx £4million per year the City Council gets in rent.

The media don't care cause it's not Manutd.
Sounds like a good deal for City, wonder how they managed that...
Nothing will ever be done about these cheating cnuts. I wish every team in the PL would simply refuse to play them but that would never happen.
That article is simply nonsense.
