PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

COULD WE FACE A COMPO PILE ON ?

Two rulings were published yesterday. The "other one" has gone under the radar. It was triggered by a formal complaint to the PL by five clubs and was also referred to an Independent Commission (IC).

The five clubs Inc Leeds, Burnley etc requested 2 rights.

1 To be active participants in the IC hearing against Everton. NOT ALLOWED.
2 To establish the right to claim compensation against EFC if found guilty of gaining a sporting advantage. ALLOWED.

According to PL rules the 5 clubs must submit their compensation claims within 28 days.

How many clubs have filed a complaint to the PL seeking compensation against MCFC just in case we are clobbered ?. Why is it not in the public domain. Eg Any club that finished 5th and missed out on a CL place.
if the club are now getting twitchy we may see signs of resilience planning. For example if KDB was transferred to Saudi in January for an amazing fee say £75M.

FFP is now beneficial to us. The rags are snookered because of it.

The thing is the Premier League does not need United anymore, Manchester City and the others sell the TV rights.
It's now Haaland and City that Kids are talking about worldwide, City selling more and more Kits with Haaland and Grealish names on them,

The only thing United and Arsenal sell more off is YouTube hits, I Wonder Why

WTF is going on? Why are certain clubs trying to effectively put other clubs out of business? FFS its a sport

We haven't been found guilty of anything yet so they'd be a bit previous.
 
The non co operation part gets me thinking, I am assuming by non co operating they mean we failed to hand over financial records to the PL, now assume we are found not guilty of any of the other charges, surely this strengthens our argument to not provide the information requested,

No mate you’d still have to provide what was asked of you.

Is it because Mark Goldbridge is a superb broadcaster or is it because they might as well be Celtic?
 
Be interesting to see the atmosphere when we turn up to Goodison this season. Are they going to realise we’re actually on the same side? Doubt it. The rags and their red neighbours will probably get a warmer welcome!

It is staggering that supporters of other clubs do not realise what a crock of shit FFP actually is, and the reason why it was brought into being.
 
We'll only know the what the PL will do for certain, if/when Everton appeal.

We could end up unduly pooing ourselves unnecessarily. We've got until Thursday for Everton to make a move, so we'll know a lot more by then.

HOWEVER, the PL could still take a view on suspending sanctions pending appeals based on the severity of the case/sanction.

Such procedural uncertainty is criminal in such a huge industry. Let's hope the independent regulator is setup soon & has more teeth & integrity than OFCOM & the like.

The vast majority of this thread and posters on it are unduly pooing themselves, mate.
 
I realise that this is akin to people pointing at City and shouting "GUILTY!" without knowing the facts of the case, but in respect to Everton posting an approx. 20million loss over 3 years and getting a 10pts league deduction, is it public knowledge as to how much the rags recently failed FFP by (also over 3 years) to receive a 250bag fine?

I only know that it was "very minor", but how minor is "very minor"?
This would be very interesting to know, when we initially failed Uefa's FFP regulations we were hit with a £50 million fine, squad reductions and our books open for investigation.

As far as I recall we thought we were within FFP using Uefa's own tool kit before they moved the goal posts.

Without having the figures to hand lets say we failed by £100 million, in that case we were fined 50% if the overspend, by the same logic the Rags would have overspent by £500k, would they really go through the process over a £500k Overspend? Very doubtful.

Something stinks.

Thats the point I was making, the 5 clubs made their complaints before the IC hearing on EFC. It appears there is a process that has to be followed. Clubs seeking compensation need to establish the right to pursue before hand. The ruling was kept in house by the PL until yesterday. Presumably if EFC were exonerated it would have been buried.
 
Just sat down and looked at a few of these allegations. As me Gran used to say, "nothing doing."
