PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[applecentral]

I’ve heard a wispa that the case is very flakey which has given the club a real boost

I like what you did there. What a sweet comment.

Definitely, going to be a Marathon no doubt, lets hope no one Snickers when we come out of this victorious.

If the core charges are about Etihad, then why have they not charged us up until this season for that? We are still using the same sponsor. What has changed in the last 5 years?

Presumably they haven’t been able to construct any investigation into more recent years so can’t make any allegations at all beyond non cooperation. Guess

Wait until the barm/muffin debate reaches the mainstream, going to blow up big time.

They could make a series based on Blue Moon exposes. Episode 1. Sleeping on a Train.

It’s no wonder everyone thinks we’re shit.

They must be reading the match day threads

What rule is in place that restricts the percentage of earnings a player can earn from image rights? Quote me the rule on that, and where, or why, have the image rights been sold?

It's over to you.

I carnt quote the rule I saw it mentioned somewhere someone mentioned it I think it was Colin on the video blog with Ian Cheesman. As I am not sure it is even a rule just a principle clearly there would be something otherwise players wouldn’t get a weekly wage for playing football they would get 100% of there income via image rights and avoid the NI in fact they would probably avoid income tax by having it paid to a company and reducing how much they receive and receiving it as dividends.

Also the reason for the sale is irrelevant to this point but the reason for the sale is obvious

What's bugging me is the fact they have charged us for every season up to 2018. This must mean they have a lot more evidence which hasn't yet been seen as the Der Spiegel emails were from much earlier. There must surely be specific evidence to show that the alleged fraud continued for every season up to and including 2018, otherwise the charges would be totally frivolous. It's agonising not knowing and I don't see how we can be expected to put up with this for years without any concrete information from either the PL or City.

whats in the back of my mind is, they've charged us up until 2018, does this mean in 3 years time they can start accusing us again and charge us from 2018,to keep the mud slinging going

If anybody wants to read a theory of what is behind all this strife check out these guys.
Fact or hilarious fiction, you decide but they do try and join a lot of dots.

Whilst respecting that the person who shared is a longstanding poster, if our defence to accusations of what basically amounts to a decade of alleged accounting fraud is "but...but...referees" my gut feeling is we might be up shite creek without a paddle.

I think he's been fed some hooky information. No issue with him sharing it amongst friends, but it sounds very far-fetched, and even if true wouldn't really impact on our case.

When weighing things of this nature up I always ask myself how I'd feel if I'd read it on RAWK.

 

[yeah whatever !!]

Hope It's chocolate fudge.

Stefan trying to explain things to our friend Nick again I see, must be like Groundhog Day for him…

No matter how times he’s told ‘Sportingintel’ just parrots his uninformed nonsense

No matter how times he’s told ‘Sportingintel’ just parrots his uninformed nonsense anyway.

Nick Harris is just a one-hit wanker. As soon as we’re cleared that’s his ‘career’ over.
He’s no interest in anything that doesn’t back up his bulllshit which is why Stefan’s having to school him again.

Whatever the outcome we will continue to follow our Hero's.

FWIW, and this is only my take, I reckon it could simply be a case of charging us for all the years up to when the investigation started.
