PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

When Messi was at Barca his wages were directly linked to the sponsors, £600 million they could not afford to pay him or sell him, a wage cap is a threat to the nouveaux rich clubs, but there will be 1,000s more in Spain like Messi just not as high profile.

Nah - a salary cap would absolutely not work...
There are ways clubs will make up the shortfall for players... and how will it be implemented? Suddenly tell all teams how much they can pay players? A lot of players won't like that for a kick off - their agents will cause trouble... and going forward, knowing of a salary cap, decent players will only go to top clubs - it would eventually make things less fair than they are now!

UEFA, the FA et al, talk about 'fairness' but what they actually want is a return to the old G14 status quo! They don't want a level playing field, where a different team could win the league every year... they don't want relatively small clubs being successful, they want Unitedd, Liverpool and Arsenal to share the spoils in the PL... Barca, Real, Inter & AC Milan, Bayern Munich etc. to win everything and fill their coffers with cash!

Players will strike if cap introduced
 
I quite like the notion that the Rag's and the media keep raising that SM has spent more than £1.5 billion on us and it has resulted in the league being destroyed, however the idea of the Rags being purchased for £6 billion, plus £1 billion to renovate the stadium and training facilities and a further £1 billion committed to improving the squad is perfectly fine.

I keep reminding the rags that for all their arguments about it the Glazers not putting money into the club, the club belongs to the Glazers, it is their property, they can do whatever they want to do with it, they could have taken twice that amount if they wanted to.

And to think this all went to shit over a drunen Scottish bully wanting some horse spunk.

That’s the argument that keeps getting lost, it will cost £8.5b to get the Rags to our level, £7b more than it cost us.

Is it even lawful? The PFA would probably say it's not.
 
I hope we have an army of private investigators crawling all over the finances of ALL the enraged, entitled Arsehole Brigade clubs of Europe. I bet their accounts make Bernie Madoff's Ponzi Scheme look like a charity project. They might want to be careful what they wish for, the cheating, hypocritical clack-wankers. Call them all out, beginning with those wailing, cry baby, hypocritical. delusional. would-be monopolists Bayern Munich. They never forgave us for taking Pep, the clown-headed German scum Rags. The wannabe cheating bitch-bags are cartel hunting, which is all they've got left now that they can't compete with us at the only thing that matters, which is our football.

If we had wasted our money like the Rags have for the last decade and won nothing would the Premier league be investigating our finances ? The simple answer is no , if we had won f*ck all nothing would have been instigated , we would still be regarded as typical City.
We have a good idea which clubs have created this witch hunt ,the traditional top clubs who think they have some self entitlement to dominate or at least compete for the title , Goons , Chelsea , Dippers , Rags , Spuds are the ring leaders , four of them owned by Yanks , who are just greedy bastards who want to make a quick buck with minimum investment.
They observe ADUG re-investing every cent of profit back into our club and this is not how Yanks do business they want their pound of flesh and profit margin like most companies, a long as the Yanks are dominant in Premier league ownership this will not change , they will keep on pressurising the Premier league and their puppet Richard Masters to dig dirt on ourselves and no doubt when the Barcodes begin to compete in the Champs league and win trophies they will recieve the same treatment.
The media can try to diminish our achievements , i couldnt give a f*ck about them, all i care about is the record books will show we have dominated english football for over a decade and played the best football that has ever been seen in this country , the cheap shots from the media are now becoming an irritant ,we know their agenda and the masters they obey , the more we win , the more we do the Poznan in celebration only winds up the likes of Delooney and Harris , like a little clockwork mouse , its hilarious.
 
I notice Fifa are threatening to blackout coverage of the women's world cup to the UK as they don't think they have had an often that makes them enough money, despite it going to a bidding process (market forces and all that). Isn't this the same as clubs inflating their own sponsorships deals.

One rule for one......

I am not up to speed on this mate, but is the above actually true?

It's not in UEFA's interests to have boring leagues where the same clubs win it every year. Sure, I absolutely get that this is what the G14 want, but is it what UEFA want? Back in the day when Platini was in charge there was an interview with him where he was saying how much pressure UEFA was under from the G14 and their threat to break away into a super League unless UEFA acted to protect their interests (or words to that effect). Now that threat has subsided - for now at least - I am wondering how much power over UEFA the G14 still hold? That said if David Gill is still around, that is certainly toxic influence.

UEFA didn't stop the super league to protect smaller clubs they did it because it wouldn't have been their's, so no money. Unlike the CL which keeps them in a manner they enjoy. And it is in their interest, having the traditional clubs in there brings in more viewers, more reaction and therefore more cash.

Depends how high it will be set & will be set in favour of the g14 clubs. Like ffp, new money will be the enemy.

They never mention that Sheikh Mansour made back all his original purchase money by selling a share of City to Silverlake and has since more than doubled the value of his overall investment. He has also made huge profits on his investments in the Manchester area and will continue to make profits from his 50 per cent stake in the new Arena. The club is totally sustainable and he has literally made billions from his investments in Manchester.
Yet we are still being described by some liars as being "state owned" or "state funded." There is only so long this fake narrative can continue because most of the public have a deep distrust of the media and know when they are being peddled a myth. Matchgoing fans of all clubs can see with their own eyes what is happening in East Manchester.
