PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[stan bowles]

Ffp didn’t exist then ???

Fraudulent accounting is fraudulent accounting. It's obviously against the rules.

 

[MarsLlama]

Says who?

Says the fact that they've charged us?

 

[citytill1die84]

Why has it took 13 years to find something from 09 surely they can't go back that far?

 

[SamBlue]

It's impossible to not come to the conclusion that the club has systematically cheated if the charges are true.

6 seasons not including full details of player remuneration in player contracts.

4 seasons not including full details of manager remuneration.

9 seasons of not providing accurate financial information.

And thats just up to 2018, because from 2018 onwards we've refused to cooperate by giving them more details.

This might - and I fear - will lead to serious consequences for us. The transfer ban is not what I am concerned with. The most worrying thing is the PL turned against one of their own and the one who has been helping them to enhance their product for the past 15 years. So they are ready to do us some serious harm.

Some of you are like teenagers writing "we're finished" at any inconvenience.

We won at CAS and the club will be fighting these charges too.

Tin hats on - FFS

 

[mexico1970]

Beyond delusional. They've taken four years to charge us, they've clearly got evidence.

We are talking about the FA here, if we can also show that other teams have broken the rules it might show how corrupt the cartel really is.

By their rules clubs can't grow quickly enough to mount a challenge, let's have the fuckers in court.

 

[Manchester_lalala]

So we cleared our name at CAS and all those that called us cheats sounded like bitter fuckers without a leg to stand on. Well, until today that is.

Same evidence Uefa had? 1 piece of paper with sliced up emails?

 

[iggy1966]

What’s most deafening is there has been no statement from the club, they most of known what was going to happen and should have had a statement ready.

 

[GaudinoMotors]

Jeez.

The Telex machine is kept so clean.

I have a very bad feeling about this. Surely after the folly of the eufa charge and that being laughed out of court pretty much, the premier league wouldnt bring these charges on a whim.

[HelloCity]

Oh fuck off.

Being grown up enough to accept reality is not knifing someone in the back.

Denying this is happening and dreaming up conspiracy theories about how it's all a set up isn't being a loyal fan, it's just being a delusional twat.

The UEFA case was a set up.

I get your point though. This is super serious.

 

[oakiecokie]

Well its a bit of a worry boys and girls.
At least I can keep my Tuesday and Wednesdays nights free from any CL games. ;)

And what about our annual external auditing. They can’t be complicit in this aswell. I’m calling BS

 

[cheekybids]

Not to do with FFP, Premier League rules.

It doesn’t take 4 years without announcing, I’m deeply suspicious but it makes sense why we’ve been refereed the way we have.

I'd be surprised if the PL saw how frivolous UEFA's case against us was and thought, "we'll do the same".

Clearly this is a different proposition.

 

[come-on-barney]

Going to be very interesting. I tell you what though if the PL lose these cases, they are finished as an organisation. High stake for both us and them.

 

[wolviedinho]

Jesus Christ wake up and smell the coffee.

I won’t be condemning the club for getting Middle East investment. I also won’t condem them until this investigation is concluded.

Did you have us hung and drawn before the cas verdict?
