PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[halfcenturyup]

The problem is they had to vote for FFP or they wouldn't have been allowed to compete.

Naah, they could have voted against it, but once it was voted in, they had to comply with it.

Family tree...mainly trunk.

I’m missed their inability to say bootiful properly too.

I trust our club even if we were relegated which is highly unlikely we would win promotion the next season and conquer the premier league again.

Same here. But would you put it past them to bring in new rules to stop coming back? I certainly wouldn’t!

I believe ‘The other big 6 teams have funded the PL’s case against City’
The rest is horse shit.

Highly unlikely.

It’s only fair as well to acknowledge the charges for failing to cooperate, which being more black and white than subjective the club is likely to end up found in breach and incurring at least some sort of punishment which technically could itself be points deducted but of course would most likely be a chunky fine, which City’s executives would have your arm off now for as an end result.

I believe Rishi Sunak recently announced that the independent regulator is due very soon. Would this bring about a re-examination of the facts of our case?

Are the pl just trying to screw any club that threatens the cartel before the independent regulator is appointed ?

And don't forget Reading, who abstained and cost the vote!!

Penny for their thoughts now, eh?

Their stupidity and ignorance has proved to be very costly.

So with Everton they detailed the exact amount failed by to justify punishment. With the United ffp failure they mentioned no figures and something about a small loss! Talk about fudging it!

Minor, very minor, minor loss, just to reiterate it was very minor.

Failing to cooperate is also something that has to be proved though. Both parties may have different expectations on cooperation.

The Premier League may have asked information that City felt was private and none of their business. Again the burden of proof is with the Premier League on that one too.

30 of the charges are in relation to cooperation. I imagine a breach of cooperation is merely a fine anyway.

Any points deduction would mean Pep walks

Lol.

Where the fuck have you been the last half a decade.

“115 charges” is the Hunter Biden’s laptop of football.

It’s good to know unions would like others found guilty without a fair hearing…..

Fck mee a trade union with this level of thinking.

He knows himself only too well.

Everton potentially liable for £300m to other clubs. Chelsea and City with the potential to go to the wall. FFP doing a great job. Imagine clubs (City included) signing up to rules that gives a tin-pot commission the power to effectively put a £5bn company out of business, seemingly without any real avenue for appeal. Blows my mind.

I would bet my bottom dollar they have not lied to Pep.

you know you can use a wallet like everyone else

 

[AlexWilliamsGloves]

We have not "not cooperated" with the PL!!!

 

[Whether or not]

In football terms is it well in excess tho?? If they’d finished a few places higher in a couple of those 3 seasons. They’d have likely passed due to the increase in prize money….

It seems an excessive punishment when such small differing outcomes of a game or two would see them in the clear

Having said all that they did vote for it…. ;)

I agree entirely it is harsh, I was simply highlighting that it has no relevance to the City case. But obviously your biased media have no interest in that factual view of things.

Being kind to himself there

 

[Damanino]

it does surprise me that if these numbers are true Everton lost overall 124m while the upper limit was 105m over 3 years.
to get a 10p deduction for that is quite harsh imo. what if they are 70m above the limit instead of 20m? 35points deduction?

Wolves failed Uefa FFP I think 2 times overall, how comes they never had any investigation.

On a separate note, the Qataris should buy Everton right now :)
