PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[wolviedinho]

Sky now finally acknowledging that the charges against us are not the same as breaking P&S.

That Kava prick just rolled his eyes and said the 115 go way back and city deny any wronging.

Maybe the penny has dropped behind the scenes. Definitely feel a different tone in the air surrounding city. The attack dogs have gone quiet.

The anger was of epic proportions for a while which is disgusting in itself.

There is no doubt the mood music has changed of late.

Can only be a leak of some sort. Or a realisation that they can’t prove what they are accusing us of! Something has been said.

I expect it’s a substantive leak from the PL rather than a collective and coincidental meeting of minds.

I did see a pic of GPC with Fury after the rag win yesterday. In the background you had Gill and few other tossers.

United are probably the 1st to know and leak imo. The whole Omar thing and Jim rimming the club and now possibly looking help in the future.

Khaldoon always said the football community is small. Word gets around quick if we are to be hung drawn and quartered then that leak would be out by now after so many years.

Forest deducted 4 points

The effect of this is ti say if you fail once you must sell players to avoid being punished again in the same 3 year window. You don’t even have to buy a player to fall foul of this. Can’t be right.

Love this bit of today's The Athletic article about Nottingham Forest:

"There is another irony, too. Last season, Forest were among the clubs who wanted Everton’s punishment to be fast-tracked. It didn’t happen that way. But the rules were amended to ensure that it would in the future.
"Now it’s us on the other end of it,” said Oldroyd. “To use a line from Only Fools and Horses, we feel like a turkey that has caught Bernard Matthews grinning at it. Knowing towards the end of last season that we were edging beyond our PSR limits, it seems a little mad that we pursued such a course of action. Now it’s us with a knife at our throats.”

The season of asterisks – PSR rulings have created a Premier League campaign like no other

Points deductions and possible appeals have cast a cloud of uncertainty over the Premier League table

The sheer, self-interested stupidity of Premier League clubs is simply breathtaking.

Last sentence is nail on the head. Every club is out to use the rules to benefit themselves only. Forest last season demanding action and now this season their head is on the same block.

The league is going easy on both Forest and Everton so that they can change the rules again next season and get the vote of confidence needed. Just enough to show regulation but with small nibbles only.

But what about city's 115...

"We'll fight them on the breaches..."

 

[Blu1]

Only way football fans win all over the country is if city destroy these in court.

Time for another round of “what about City”.

6 of the first 10 comments on BBC follow that pattern.

Any saying Forest and Everton are cheats?

 

[Centurions]

Any saying Forest and Everton are cheats?

Very, very few. The first 2 pages are almost exclusively about us which personally I find hilarious.

 

[KS55]

My monies on there being some within the first ten comments on the BBC Sport website!

The first 12 comments were all about City.

Interesting to note that Arsene Wenger - a man who was hugely critical of our spending while he was Arsenal manager and coined the phrase financial doping - is much more positive about our club these days, no doubt because he's no longer having to toe the party line at Arsenal:

Inside City 459: Wenger visits the CFA and behind the scenes at Liverpool

It's Episode 459 of our long-running documentary series that takes you behind the scenes at our Club...

www.mancity.com

He had a wonderful impact on the Premier League in the 90s, but the party line was always "what's best for Arsene?"

He was as happy as Klopp to spin the poverty angle, despite it only ever being a maximum of 2-3 teams that ever had as much money as Arsenal.

No because nobody appears to care about them.. just obsessing about us

 

[gordondaviesmoustache]

The whole thing is turning from a shambles to a complete fucking shambles.

I just find it sad, boring and epically predictable. Most of the 'people' responsible for posting such tripe come across like they should be stood in a queue waiting to be sheared.

That’s not true. All I ever see is loads of messages about no one caring about City.

Eh? I don't get it or am I being really thick?
