PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[houraisen]

I suspect our recent abysmal performance is due to the fact that we knew this.

why still no club statement?

Why the rush?

1905 all over again.

You seem quite fixated with that year.

 

[GaudinoMotors]

It’s just so fucking tedious.

What’s the crime? Breaking up the little clubhouse the cunts have made?

I really, really hope city go nuclear some how, have some weapon up their selves to make these fuckers pay.

Hope we're going to play f*cking dirty - throw shit everywhere and on everyone. Please tell me there's a cabinet full and ready to go.

No need to buy that new drone for the photos you were planning ;)

Already bought it. :-(

I’ll ask the PL if I can use it first. ;-)

I can understand the frustration against FFP but is this relating to that? Or just general financial breaches.

If the latter, can’t really argue about FFP and its purpose of protecting the original top 4.

why still no club statement?

We’re still travelling back from Europe

Sheikh Mansour bought the club in 2008 and we spent an absolute fortune in those 3 years before FFP was implemented in 2011.

They then only gave us a year to break even.

I challenge anyone outside of Manchester City to show me any business that spends at the rate Manchester City did in 3 years and then break even a year later. It just doesn't happen.

The rules were set up for us to fail from the beginning and Uefa and the Premier League knew this. They set a trap to catch us.

The fact they have been investigating us about something that happened over a decade ago tells you everything you need to know.

The agenda is organised and clear and these c***s won't stop until Pep leaves and the Sheikhs sell the club. They are doing what they can to hound them out of the game.

Absolutely reeks of xenophobia. Had Newcastle also spent what Chelsea did in the January window, you can guarantee the Premier League would have been in uproar to stop it from happening, whether that means trying to get the government involved.

Embarrassing. Starting to fall out of love with the game.

I'm sick if the shit that goes along with the football these days too... I'd give up my season card and focus on golf if I wasn't so shite at it

why still no club statement?

Burning all the old accounts sheets. Lol

Hope you kept the receipt…

In all the noise about these new allegations, we should take a moment to stop and remember that the FFP rules we are alleged to have broken, were corrupt to the core in the first place.

Utterly ridiculous that any owner should not be allowed to invest in order to build their business.

Why the rush?

no rush, just with such a serious allegation i'd like to think they'd of put something out. surely they knew about it before the press release

 

[waspish]

Make no mistake we found guilty they will kick us out the league 100% we are to much of threat long term for the likes of Chelsea rags scousers Arsenal so kick us down the leagues get those clubs ahead of us for years and years

We need Perry Mason, Matlock and Saul Goodman to get us out of this.

EXCLUSIVE: Everton risk a PL points DEDUCTION due to profit rules

EXCLUSIVE BY MATT HUGHES: Everton recorded combined losses of over £260m between 2017 and 2020, which in ordinary circumstances would represent a clear breach of league rules

They should refund the blues who traveled yesterday... would be a good start.

 

[HelloCity]

At least they haven’t included the underreporting of the crowd for the Charlton game in 1985.

They have.

Also the ones Gary James quoted in the seat counters thread from the 1930s.

That's pep gone then if we are found guilty

Well obviously if they’re proven to be cheats, it’s everybody gone not just the manager (not that Pep is involved, just that he’d obviously leave). The ownership/board and any senior management that was involved would also go. But we’re years off knowing whether they’re guilty.
