PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

That was my experience as well. The stark reality of being "the richest club in the world with no disposable income" has revealed FFP in all its glory to the barcodes.

I hope you mentioned their club voted for it…

And there you have it.

This is clearly the Premier League looking to stave off the cause nationally for an independent regulator in football and show that they can regulate and govern the game accordingly.

Imo it’s not.

You don’t throw 115 charges at a club and essentially say “you were pieing our rules for 12 years”. That basically proves you don’t have a fucking clue what you’re doing.

You don’t then go and charge another club for pieing your rules.

You definitely don’t then go and charge that same club again.

Then to top it all off you go go and charge another?

The more they dig a hole the more it looks like they do need an independent regulator.
 
Another absolutely clueless report from Dan Roan so called leading bbc football pundit on the news just now. No explanation of the charges City face, no explanation of the difference between City's charges and the situation with Everton and Forrest. And no explanation of why FFP is loathed by a large % of football fans and the restrictions it wrongly places on clubs and the unfair benefit it gives to others. What on earth has this fella ever done to get into the position that he is. An utterly useless reporter.
 
The excuses from Everton and Forest are laughable.

Everton - “the war in Ukraine has cost us £200m in naming rights on our new stadium”
Would that be the new stadium that’s not even been built yet?
“If we had sold a player we would not have failed P&S rules”
But you didn’t sell a player.

Forest - “If we’d sold a player sooner we wouldn’t have failed P&S rules”
Again, you didn’t sell a player.

Accountability you cunts.

I don’t know, back in the days we were taken over I think I would have got behind any club that was challenging United.

These charges will speed up the independent regulator imo. I think the bill is due in parliament within the next fortnight.

i can see forest point allegedly sell for 35 million early or hang on and get 47 million from spurs which ment failing PSR

but why should clubs have to sell their own youth player to stay within rules wasnt long back bring through talant was way forward

I don't know, I think Forest have a point on this.

They rejected £30m for Johnson from Brentford that would have seen them pass the PSR as they knew they would sell him for more.
A month later they sell him to Spurs for £47.5m but outside of the PSR window.

They're essentially charged for selling their star player for more.

The rules also forced them into selling a home grown player as its pure profit, another flaw. Plus they only get £60m in losses as a newly promoted team but everyone else gets £105m losses over 3 seasons.

All comes back to what these rules are really for and it's quite obvious that it's to stifle the development of ambitious clubs.

So Everton and Forest are charged and the BBC report from our stadium? Why not report from Owe Trafford, they got fined for breaching FFP a few months ago.

BBC must be impartial. So reporting from their home club in Trafford is pushing that claim a tad far. How can you charge yourself anyway?
