PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

Invisible Man's Bandage said:
In addition to the relatively low salary they want someone in post by January (big ask for anyone any good) and it is initially for only 12 months with the possibility it might be extended to 18 months.

No-one who is up to the job would be the slightest bit interested so it will be some generic middle manager type.

Ten Haag will be available by all accounts.

Apologies for posting something relevant to the thread title, but it seems things may be progressing with regards to the creation of an independent regulator. I can't read the full article as I don't have a sub to the Athletic. Could (probably will) have implications for the ongoing process around City's charges?

Like appointing / recruiting Ethel from Asda to run Harrods.

Dan Carter. Evertonian outrage at the way Everton are being treated compared to City. ( no mention of the Joleaon Lescott transfer fallout)

It does seem slightly unfair that Dyche’s side could face a punishment in the coming weeks and months when City could remain unpunished for years, despite allegedly breaking the rules more than 100 times more often than the Toffees, but football has never been known for its lack of hypocrisy.

At least Everton should be able to continue to focus on the pitch when their case is eventually concluded and won’t have the potential punishment of a large points deduction hanging over their head for the next few years, as is the case of Man City.

Think Everton’s is cut and dried they have spent more than their turnover allows them too. Whereas we have 115 charges of being uncooperative with FFP authorities

“The government is pleased to announce Diane Abbott as the new head of the independent regulator for premier league football.
Speaking ahead of the move Diane said she’s really excited by the role cos she’s always been a fan of Jockey Wilson’ ; )

She's probably never heard of Harold Wilson though.

Most of the charges were from time before PL FFP
City were uncooperative with the PL investigation as they felt the information being requested was, company confidential and would be useful to their rivals. They went to the High Court to contest the PL right to request the information and lost so complied with the judgement. Subsequently, along with the PL, they appealed against the initial judgment being made public, which the judge refused, he also commentated that about the time being spent by the PL and the fact that City had won numerous PL titles in the meantime

Correct except that I think the judge was a 'she'.

I don't get this non-cooperation nonsense as we disagreed with what they were asking for and took it to court. We then do cooperate when the judge says we are wrong (to what degree, we'll never know) and they then find us guilty of non-cooperation and fine us. Isn't that using coercion to force us to not take it to court in the first place?

Diane Abbot said: “It is a big job. There are 92 teams in the Premiership alone. They play 90 minutes per game, so that is 18,000 minutes per season for me to regulate.”

Not a government job. The regulator is to be independent and paid for by football itself. As per Ofcom

Hope they are not as independent as the Financial Ombudsman's "independent assessors" which i have used twice regarding complaints about insurance companies , on both occasions their "independent assessors" decision favoured the insurance company (it took around 12 months to even consider the cases) and both times i advanced the claims against the insurance companies to the smalll claims courts and won.
My probably cynical view of "independent assessors" is they decide in favour of their paymasters or what is in their best interests and not the merits of the complaint or charge

Pubs have an independent assessor who rules on fair rents for tenants. Almost always favours the pub co.
