Funny how people don’t seem to understand this. Title of thread is wrong, of course. But this is the actual league of which they are a member charging them. Not primarily with breaking UEFA rules, or FFP. It’s with cooking the books as regards paying Mancini and others, including players, repeatedly over many years. It’s about faking it as regards sponsorship. It’s their plastic selves that’s under attack. And clearly the other clubs are happy to see it proceed. They have referred this to an independent outside body. Now the thing is, lots of things depend on trust; shares, professional credibility; the competition itself. So the question now is: could Pep stay in the face of a conviction for fraud? Players? Owners? The premiership themselves are saying that their competition has effectively been hijacked, that the competition has been stolen from the rightful winners for a decade. Does anyone really think it’s just a couple of points deduction?
