PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[LangleyBlue1970]

It's shite like this that opposition fans see and believe. Regardless of what happens we will be guilty in the eyes of the thicker element of the footballing community. I know it's utter shite, but it's utter shite that people believe.

How good would that be? A Championship, FA Cup and CL treble?

If it restricts our investment at City it could increase the pace of development at the CFG clubs.

I agree.

In fact the Holding Company ie CFG may make sure any short or long term profits by just City is not taxed in UK by doing exactly as you suggest.

Not sure of the current Holding Co rules but that was one of the advantages of such a structure to encourage investment in needing companies (ie newer ones) by giving tax advantage to profit makers (mature ones).

Aren't we being accused of the same or similar offence?

The proposed regulations aren't fully agreed yet and the next bit is to decide if player sales can be in addition the spending cap. However it ends up I'm not going to lose any sleep over it as they won't last long. Like the current PSR regs there will be unexpected consequences and so they will be ditched and replaced by new regs that are even more convoluted. I don't expect a football regulator to have any impact in this area whatsoever.

We are going to build up a lot of surplus cash under these new rules by all accounts , thankfully , and to our advantage , we have the best talent producing academy in the country, the PL won’t stop City , they didn’t then and won’t now . United being affected is poetic justice , but I have a feeling something else is at play here , it’s very very odd that these rules will affect them more than anybody else potentially in the future.

I see Ian Herbert has written a snide City piece about financial ‘gymnastics’ in the Mail which indicates all the weekend noise about legal letters and the media being pulled into line is a load of bollocks.

I know it was mentioned by a poster back in February on another thread, but Shalke are deep in the shit and facing going out of business (there is an article on the BBC sport now. Whatever the German FFP rules are, it hasn't stopped them getting to this situation and their ownership model clearly isn't working for this club and it's reported that the fanbase is split about new investment.
They have an amazing fanbase and probably wouldn't want to admit how closely comparable we are but our new rules being proposed wouldn't save them either. Some clubs, it would appear, are just badly run - who would have thought it.

surely there is no need for ticket prices to be so expensive then?
