As a youth player he had it all and to be fair developed well under Lampard but he hit a brick wall. I wonder if that was in part due to the influence of his father but he really thought the grass was greener at Utd and yes he has had significant injuries he has had a terrible season. To be...

Ok they had a lot of injuries last night but that would be a lame excuse to put out there. The issues run far deeper and to be honest they were on show as early as their first game of the season when they were extremely lucky to beat Wolves you could see that there were problems. This Utd...

Exactly the point I was trying to make months ago

Based on what was put to UEFA it will be extremely difficult to see how any IC will rule differently and yes we all know how inept the PL are but other than them having more details etc you would imagine on this aspect their won’t be any different outcome

It has no choice but to take into account the limitation act as the tribunal has to operate in accord with English law. My point wasn’t that at all it was what are the exceptions to dealing with time barred The UEFA rules I believe simply don’t allow them to even be considered wheras the...

Without sight of the PSR/ FFP submissions there may be an implication but would further charges follow ? I very much doubt it indeed in the Everton judgment the IC for me suggests that matters not on the charge sheet can’t be assessed and focusing on double jeopardy the PL couldn’t and...

I had a bit of a dance with someone some months ago on this point. My point was that if ultimately the IC rules that there was evidence to prove the charges then by definition that will have been because or either. : Fraud , Concealment or a Mistake by virtue of that the charges aren’t time...

I don’t really want to intrude but the bulk of the charges aren’t using PSR rules they fall elsewhere in the wider PL rule book.

To be fair to the PL, yep I said that, leading up to the charges we didn’t really know a lot of any detal. I am not sure that when it come to PSR limits we hear much about anything from official sources what we tend to see is “ experts” who make a huge number of assumptions and when those...

I think that’s very much the point. Re transparency Re COVID exception for 21/22 I believe that clubs were still allowed to claim as to if they did or didn’t would be down to them. Bohley seems supremely confident on Chelsea not being over and yes I know all clubs that have been charged...

It’s far from as simple as that The sale took place circa 10 months ago the league will have had all sorts of submissions made one of which will have been the supply of future financial information in that information details of how any gap showing up under T or T+1 in PSR submissions would...

I have said on a few occasions that targets drive behaviour and the reality is people like Bohley will be 100% aware of what the rules will say and he will almost certainly have had very clever people looking at the rules as written and see where there are “ holes” I was hearing the word...

When Ken Bates set about building Chelsea Village the expectation was that things such as night clubs, health clubs etc built on the site would generate. 24/7 income alas the hotels never did and ironically the view very much is that when they were operating they in effect competed with...

To play in the approved league is the key point

Once the IR is in place that’s 100% correct but at this moment there is almost a vacuum We all know what happened last time the SL was mooted but there does seem to be a massive backlash at this time against the PL . I don’t know if it’s close enough to result in a mutiny akin to crickets...

Was in the 2018/19 version of the rules That story is beyond belief. Neither City nor Chelsea have received warnings it revolves about a comment that if a future IC rules that at another FFP hearing it could conceivably expel a club if that IC deemed the loss to be major

The Everton IC ( not the appeal) made a couple of fundamental errors such as assessing Everton against another rule( B15)? which they, Everton weren’t charged by the PL of breeches and used the term “ Less than Frank” I said elsewhere at the time of the first report that I thought the...

It was Fordstam. Who incidentally are just about to be struck off Its was a complex hierarchy Chelsea Football Club Ltd was virtually debt free. The shares in Chelsea FC were owned by a Holding Company ( Chelsea FCPLC)who injected capital into CFCLtd. with each cash injection came an...

The Forest written reasons suggest that both Forest and Everton’s entry point was 6 made up of 3 plus the fact that anything over £105 million constitutes a “ significant “ breech “ Again in the Forest report it talks about the Everton 6 points and suggests that although not stated 3 points re...
