PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

Everton fan on the radio going on about their (suggested) 12 point deduction and suggesting that means we'll be relegated to the national league as we have 112 charges (yes he said 112)

Can't believe people go on national radio and make themselves look like brain dead fuckwits
Sounds like he’s been listening to that silly screeching fucker that supported Everton as a kid. But is now getting giddy at the thought of them facing a 12 point deduction! Weird fuckers them bin dippers
 
Mate, this whole shit show is premised on the idea that everything coming out of the oil rich Middle East is related and there's a grain of truth to that, but a grain isn't enough for the Premier League to nail us, so they're screwed.
Meanwhile ignoring the fact that you can trace a link from any major sponsor to any other clubs owners, tenuous though it may be. It all depends on where you draw the line. That said if any deal (not just for us) is not above fair market value, then it makes not one jot of difference.

National radio,t.v,social media is awash with braindead ignorant fuckwits.

The temptation to try and put the fuckwits straight somewhat,was almost too much at times.
I also realise that 99% of them are quite happy in their stupidity,so don't bother even listening to,watching or reading their drivel anymore.

I got a classic one yesterday in the pub before the game. Apparently: “With all these Arabs it is all about money laundering.” I tried to put him right… but where do you start with such morons?

Adam and Eve have a lot to answer for.

I think the problem is taxation. The oil rich states are perceived as having had an unfair advantage by having had in the past no need for tax to run the country with that wealth trickling down to its citizens.
Others who must pay tax see this as criminal unless of course one selects the Caymens to be taxed in.

I understand our owner elects to pay tax in the country he earns this money.

AND City and CFG are both British registered companies.
 
I'm not sure you can call balance of probablilites a vague notion when it's the cornerstone of civil law around the world.
Not strictly correct. Balance of probabilities is a concept which usually only applies in common law countries. Thus it is widespread but not universal. Countries which operate on the lines of Napoleonic code/ Roman law tend to define their own standard of proof in civil cases. Thus in France the judge decides who has made out their case and there is a concept of “preponderance of evidence”. In Germany the parties must prove their claim is true, so much closer to beyond reasonable doubt.
 
Money laundering? Do they think that Mansour is selling coke?
I asked him if his investments in Barclays Bank and the UK tech sector were all "money laundering" as well. He was a United fan from the Midlands who had apparently no idea where Ancoats was and had no idea about Sheik Mansour's huge developments in Manchester itself. These sort of people are beyond parody really. They literally believe the garbage which is published in the English press.
 
I’ve seen some info on stadium costs on here but can’t find it. Can someone (@Prestwich_Blue ) explain if what we spend on our stadium redevelopment is outside FFP or will it impact on what we can spend on players etc?
