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 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.

Can we transfer you to Saudi?

Ffs mate.

Rosen has been a KC for 30 years now, with a long and respected career behind him. I can put your mind at rest now that he’s not going to bring himself or his chambers into disrepute by letting the football team he supports influence anything.

I read somewhere that our KC Pannick also supports Arsenal
 
Mail online now in full flow with an article saying Everton could possibly pick up a further points deduction and then saying the EPL should not hold back with severe punishment to Chelsea and City if found guilty.
 
Just got thinking like you do when your board so if we got chucked into a lower league ( which by the way I don't think will happen ) would pep and all the players stay loyal to the club, I would like to think so.

No. We can only refer to court over agregious failures with the actual process.

We can't appeal to anyone if we disagree with the verdict.

Fair enough.
Doesn't seem right to me that an appeal panel verdict cannot be challenged if it is considered to be unlawful ( not the same as disagreeing with it).
But if that's the case so be it.

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.

Ahh, yes I misread that and presumed it was asked after the punishment came out, but the wanting to sit in on it would make no sense after the fact.

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.

In March 2013 we were £3m inside FFP when we presented our interim accounts.

We submitted our verified accounts 4 weeks later, but unbeknownst to us UEFA had shifted the monitoring period back by 12 months, to include the wages of Carlos Tevez. We went from £3m under the FFP limit to £3m over & were fined £50m.

We then had a £50m per season transfer limit placed on us, & our CL squad was reduced from 24 to 20, to include the full complement of 8 Association/Club trained kids.

Bent bastards!

We have ten or more years of audited accounts plus other evidence such as a sworn statement under oath by the CEO of Etisalat. Even on the balance of probabilities, that requires the PL to have some pretty powerful evidence of false accounting. They haven’t got it.

Absolutely key, this balance of probability may well work in our favour. If the evidence against us is at best circumstantial but we have audited accounts, statements under oath from high ranking officials then on this basis the balance of probabilty falls on our side.

gills finger prints all over it
 
Charge #1 appears to involve breaching rule B.13 in season 2009/2010.


Why was this charge not brought by the Premier League in 2010? Have they been investigating it for 13 years? Or did they only realise in 2018 following publication of hacked emails in Der Spiegel? They've only been investigating it for 5 years then?

It's absolutely mental and completely surreal.

That may be the reason for the 'hateful 8' letter
