PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[KS55]

Not easy is it? Hope you’re well, takes a lot of willpower and when you mention steroids or something like an under active thyroid (which I have as well) people raise their eyebrows! But for the grace of god and all that.

Cheers. I’m keeping going…….just.

Stefan back on talksport chatting about Chelsea, they're fucked basically.

Their on-field results have fucked them over. Basically over-investing and hoping to succeed. Everything FFP was supposed to prevent. I am amazed they got away with it last year but this year, tough job. They have to generate income from sales again and everyone knows it this time.

This may be worth a listen - me v Nick Harris on the excellent Unofficial Partner podcast...

Thank you Sir, a very enjoyable hour and I know a little more, Mr Harris appeared to be out of his depth on several occasions.

There's a lot of confusion about Chelsea as many of their fans and the media think they need to make 100 mill worth of sales. They actually need to make 100 million profit on sales which is a totally different kettle of fish. All by June 30th. They also don't seem to factor in the current book values of players. Even if they manage to offload Lukaku for example it will be at a loss to his book value.

It will be The Great Escape Part II if they manage it.

Really great listen, and unsurprisingly, projectriver shows up Harris's 'sporting intel' as very thin gruel.

My take on it, is that Harris spoke about / has the following info :
The Der Spiegel emails that have been examined to death, a revisit of the CAS case, the Etihad valuation, the tired old claim that City picked two panellists at CAS (LOL), and eh.. that was about it. Nothing that isn't in the public domain, or quoted ad nauseum by the usual know-nothings on Twitter.

His points were dismantled in detail by Stefan, with facts and knowledge.
Stefan spoke about 70/80% of the time, Harris managed to squeeze in a few eye-rolling clichés.

Well worth a listen.

There's a guy works down the chip shop swears he's Elvis

I can't believe that you're all trivialising this!
Does he call it a muffin or barm?

First time I have listened to harris what a knobhead. Wouldnr except that the red tops plus spurs are been it all lol

First class Projectriver.

I'm still worried the pl must have something big because if they havent this is embarrassing for the pl the brand, everything. Pl will self implode.

I still think City are innocent but cant get my head around why the pl brought this case

Thanks, Stefan. Nick constantly getting things wrong and being put right from a legal perspective was a great listen.

Just listened to it , great and informative as always

I felt Harris’s arguments were pretty weak and centred around his latest article that he’s been peddling to give it some exposure

 

[Rory Bluelow]

I’ll get a chance to listen to this tomorrow. Are you happy with how it went? Did Harris concede to your greater knowledge?

People like Harris will never concede - this is his raison d’etre. He showed his naïveté several times - particularly around single “out of context” emails and how commercial settlements arise in the real world. Harris floundered a little at certain times but manfully kept trying to plough the same furrow. I’d say a very good points win for Stefan.

Stefan explained it expertly this morning on TS emphasising the word profit. It's a shame that there are so many Muppets in the media chatting shit about FFP when they are utterly clueless and the masses lap it up.

clutching at straws springs to mind

 

[Sheikh rattle and roll]

From today's Mirror..

Pretty simple: Everton faced a single charge, and City have 115 different charges focused on a far longer duration of time with a myriad of different legal complexities. A decision on the punishment for Everton's second alleged breach is expected to arrive long before there is a resolution to the City case.

It said on talksport they faced 9 charges 7 still guilty of 2 they are now not

Is it right what Harris said? That the email from Simon Pearce which appeared to indicate that Etihad aren’t funding the sponsorship themselves was discovered after CAS? If so is that the issue for us?

Pretty sure the answer there is a big fat no. Harris is talking out of his 'arris once more.

Not true it was dealt with at cas

it's still got to tie in with other documents 1 email is just that
