PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[Mad Eyed Screamer]

I'm past explaining this shit to opposition fans. They couldn't care less about the details anyway.

As far as they're concerned, believing our success is down to us being FFP cheats, allows them to sleep at night.

Facing the fact that 'Likkle Citeh' have been the dominant UK team for the last 10 years is too much for them to bear.

They can't take it, so it's better to live under the FFP cheats delusion, than face the fact we've got the best manager in the history of football, the best owner, & the best management team too.

To quantify this, I'm yet to happen across ONE opposition fan who even knows what the 115 charges are, let alone what our defence is, or the state of our finances!

They STILL believe Sheikh Mansour gives us £1bn per season for transfers, because we've got no fans, hence why our ground is always empty, meaning we barely earn a bean in legal revenue.

Fuck the brain dead gimps. ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠⊙⁠_⁠ʖ⁠⊙⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

City have to be cheating. I've finally come to that conclusion.
After all, if Liverpool have the best keeper in the world, best back up keeper, best full back (even though he doesn't play as a full back) best central defender, best midfield and best striker in the world, with the best coach running the club on a shoe string budget, playing in the best stadium with the best set of fans with the best anthem, who put on the best parades..... surely you'd have to be cheating to be better than them?

Which newspaper is this from?

We just about crossed the drawbridge before the portculis was raised & slammed shut, so I suppose what was the Sky 4 has now become the big 5, plus Spuds who've done fuck all to be included aside from regular top 6 finishes, hence 5 becoming 6 to accommodate them.

We told the sporting world that FFP would enshrine the European elite, & create a glass ceiling just as intended, & they ignored us.

But here's an uncomfortable question the Sky 4 always choke on. If Sheikh Mansour had secured his original target Arseholes, & City were broke & continued to flirt with relegation every season, would FFP had seen the light of day?

Anyone recall the strong rumours 12-13 years ago that Qatar were looking to buy ManUre & the Under pressure Glazers were considering it? If that deal would've gone through, would anyone be calling the Rags an oil money club, & would FFP seen the light of day?

What about the Chavs? Abramovich made his dough from Russian oil, but who recalls them ever being called an oil money club?

It seems oil involvement in football only becomes an issue if the commodity is owned by brown people & is being spent on clubs outside the European elite. ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠⊙⁠_⁠ʖ⁠⊙⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

I would like to know the names of the people who created the FFP concept. Then subsequently their affiliation and potential vested interest. This would definitively prove what was the motive.

I've updated the buying success feature to include another cutting on Everton. This one is from the Liverpool Daily Post basically congratulating Everton on their 'buying success' approach:

Buying Success?

In recent years it has become fashionable to claim that football is all about money these days and that certain clubs have ‘bought success’. Well, that may or may not be true but what i…

The whole of the football world, knew exactly what this was for.

Although it wasn’t us, but PSG that completely destabilised the market, overinflated prices, and destroyed the idea of contracts with the Neymar transfer.

We took more than a decade post takeover to splash the first 100 million transfer, and even then, most of our own transfers are within 40-80. We are spending more on infrastructure now, and have done, than we have ever spent on players, and managers.

But it’s the stupidity of pointing the on field success and cross referencing it with the world play “bought trophies“, that never fails to amaze me.

FFP is their creation, and it got to an abomination stage where the SuperLeague was required to continue to remain sustainable for most clubs. Of everyone in the SL chat, we were the best in terms of cash and debt. We still are.

I have no doubt we’ll win the spout with the PL, but i cannot see a victory without blood-shed on both sides.

Although another certainty of mine is, that within the next two years, FFP will draw so much blood from the cartel, it will be dismantled.

It's called PSR(Profitability Sustainability Rules) and clubs knowing now that you can be docked points now just a fine, it will be taken more seriously! So Reckon in 3/5 years time everything will of calmed down...

We could bring Roger Cook out of retirement to buttonhole journalists and media types 'I'd like to talk to you about your reporting of MCFC'

I think the last time I saw Roger Cook on TV, he was getting into a spot of bother with the Triads in Manchester!

He did have a habit of upsetting some naughty people.

 

[I'm Blue]

Didn't they vote FOR it?

They also put their name on a certain letter.
Different owners maybe but my fucks given are still zero.

David Gill c/o Old Toilet.

UEFA's sustainability & debt plan which had been going round in circles since 2002 & getting nowhere, was very quickly rehashed into FFP within 12 months of Sheikh Mansour's ownership, to stop City.

Apparently we complained about Gill's conflict of interest which fell on deaf ears, as he laughed that City were nowhere near being a rival to ManUre.

They shit themselves over Berbatov, went mad over Tevez, Ferguson called us noisy neighbours & claimed we'd never finish above the Rags in his lifetime, & here we are nearly 15 years later. ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

I remember that episode.
He didn’t get in as much trouble as the guy they put in undercover.
If I remember correctly he got leathered with a chair and then broke both his legs jumping down the stairs trying to get away from them.
Get them on the books City ; )

Thought that was the case, interestingly Neville was quoted bemoaning it recently now it appears to affect his beloved rags.

That's right. Think he was coming out of Pearl City restaurant when he broke his legs. IIRC the chair incident was when they set up a "business" in Chinatown to see how long it would be before the Triads came knocking and demanding protection money!

 

[eyalluvitt]

Usual flak flying today about 'manufactured' club, 'buying success' etc. Several EFC fans going on about City... blah blah blah. It's annoying but it's prompted me to post this newspaper cutting from 1965 which talks of Everton, Spurs & United 'buying success'. Might be useful to anyone who wants to remind rival fans:

Buying Success?

gjfootballarchive.com

Just tell them ALL their ‘success’ was with the benefits of unlimited spending , whereas we have been the most successful team in the country despite unprecedented draconian financial restrictions put in place to stop us winning

 

[eyalluvitt]

No, you don't understand. What they mean is it's good when it stops City, but bad when it stops someone else......

Yes, watch the outpouring of media grief when Forest get done for an enormous FFP overspend. Two European cups, Brian Clough, Tricky Trev, Goose Fair brings in millions, blah blah blah

completely off-topic - but Mrs JASR tells the story of a bit of set-to in ol' China town... various people decided that Samurai swords would be a good thing to settle an 'issue' with, so the two groups started hacking each other about... it was after a considerable amount of blood spilled they collectively decided that they'd better get patched up... so they stopped a passing taxi.. and with blood dripping everywhere from swords and wounds, the no doubt terrified taxi driver was ordered to take them to MRI A&E. Now most A&E dept's are prepped for the arrival of a few damaged people, eg an RTA, by the ambulance despatchers...but in this case, the many wounded were just dropped out of the taxi at the A&E front door with no warning... an interesting shift.

Keeps getting better and better.

And yet still no one questions why ,despite being the richest they are posting losses , something when Gill and Co thought would prevent little citeh when they introduced ffp

Feels on topic if you consider the PL and City to be the warring triads. Rather than spilling any more blood, it all just needs to be put in the past and everyone move on.

It's ridiculous Newcastle will never or unlikely to win anything! Teams get to a standard top four top 6 then want to go again they can't and Villa will have that problem after there fans get so excited of getting to the next level all the while they have Billionaire owners and the likes of the scum keep spending 200+ million year in year out while a billion in debt!


Think those fans of those clubs are only NOW smelling the bullshit of ffp now PSR! Yep another revamp with actual points deductions that would stop clubs gambling as before they would just pay the fine!

It's disgusting what that rancid Kunt Gill did and Reading yep reading abstaining when ffp was voting in by the premier!

They will, in time, as they become more “annoying” and challenge. Had their owners presented a different skin colour, and cultural background, well, they could do as they pleased.
