Mmmm, what?

This is getting beyond a fooking joke now!!!!!!!!!!!

"It is alleged the club failed to ensure that their ‘Club Whereabouts’ information was accurate, contrary to Regulation 14(d).

"City have until 19 January 2017 to respond to the charge."

That is the entire release on FA's web site.........

All guns out against us.

Is this Nasri-gate biting us in the ass?

[Tru_Blu]

Is this England or Italy I can't tell anymore. Corruption at its finest.

embarrassing

Very. Regardless of facts thats our name tarnished.

Would love the club to come out firing. Better make sure we are compliant first though

[meeesh]

This is not great news,these bastards will do their best to throw the book at us now

[Douglas Higginbottom]

Hopefully a non issue and nothing to get worked up about. No doubt our friends in the media will have a field day with speculation though.

[Foreverinbluedreams]

Sounds like an admin. issue?

Always so quick to jump on the club's back.

Very negative

[PeterParker]

Imagine if we are actually doping and we still are so inconsistent.

Fix it, Pep!

[Peter Doherty (AGAIG)]

It's been unrelenting this season.

[Original Dub]

It has mate.

I could see it coming a mile away. The rags and liverpool are too long out of the elite.

If it happened for another season or two with the spending they do, there would be serious consequences and they can't claim to be the "greatest league in the world" with liverpool and united as a laughing stock.

It hurts the brand and measures are taken to ensure that never happens for long

[Beefymcfc]

Sounds like an admin. issue?

Yep, and as such shouldn't be under so much scrutiny and definitely not splashed across the airwaves.

Is this tit-for-tat regarding Pep's, and others, calling out the PiGMOL and FA?

I'd like to see the club come out and say 'We missed the 0 off Yayas mobile', or some shit like that.

[Justified logic]

From the BBC website.

Manchester City have been charged by the Football Association for failing to ensure anti-doping officials knew where players were for drugs testing.

Clubs are required to provide accurate details of training sessions and player whereabouts so that they are available for testing at all times.

The club allegedly failed to ensure that their 'club whereabouts' information was accurate.

City have until 19 January to respond to the charge.

It is understood the information was not updated following a change to training routines.

Anyone know when the "change to training routines" was?

[nottsblue]

At the bottom of the article one poster reckons it relates to an academy lad out on loan. Pathetic, if true.

The media know that shit sometimes does stick and it appears "open season" on us

Of course it is mate.

I haven't seen such a blatant assault on a club since uefa introduced Financial "Fair" Play, solely to stunt our growth.

I don't find it amazing WHY they do it. There's nothing new about looking after your brand and the masses.

What is amazing is how they continue to do it under different guises and always without being challenged on it.

[Tru_Blu]

At this point its like watching your daddy getting pick on everytime you drop him to work. The club needs to grow a pair and stand up to this trifling shite.

[zuricity]

All TRUMPed up charges ! Don't worry it's Fake news , y'know
