One United Liverpool or Arsenal facing action of FFP would end it surely you can imagine the size of the baying mob of one of there sets of fans. Liverpool especially horrible lot. Plus the media outrageThey have allowable deductions of around 35 million a year (infrastructure, academy, women, community) and they claimed Covid losses of around 40 million in 2022 (one of the few clubs to claim that in 2022, the rest just claiming 2020 and 2021) which the PL not surprisingly allowed apparently (but UEFA didn't, hence their fine). So even with those two numbers, they are well over the allowable losses of 105 million unless they have a much better than expected 2H (they won't) or they sell some players at a hefty profit (Mainoo to City for a cheeky 40 million in view of our new pally relationship?). No wonder they are pushing for new rules .....
I was joking about Mainoo. I think.
There was a time when becoming a blue was an act of lunacy….Good Lord.....rely on BM for facts. You've have to very, very carefully choose your 'facts' on BM.
I like this thread for some of it's insights into FFP but my life the rest of the place is full of lunatics......

Would the premier league still punish clubs for historic breaches if FFP was finished ?
Actually a good pointGood Lord.....rely on BM for facts. You've have to very, very carefully choose your 'facts' on BM.

In other news......Man uniteds 2024 half yearly financial results dropped into my inbox courtesy of Swiss Ramble.
So far the last 2.5 years are:
2022 = -150 million
2023 = -32 million
2024 = -5.5 million
On reviewing past performance 2nd half yearly results (out of CL) will be lots worse probably ending up similarly to last year, about -30 million.
I'm not sure how much they can claim for COVID related relief in 2022 but it will have to make a hole in -218 million or they might have to sell the Wythenshaw Tequilla Queen, Argentinian Romulan lookalikee or the Lancastrian Kilt wearing Tim Nice but dim.
Now that would be a laughingly interesting fire sale.
What do i search under for his latest podcast pleaseListening to @projectriver latest podcast, he was saying something on the lines of if the prem league find us guilty it could be a bad thing for them. It got me thinking that if we were found guilty would some sort of authorities have to follow it up and possibly try put people in prison or some other serious sanction? If that was the case would the prem league or other authorities have to go to criminal courts?
How can possibly say that? Have you not seen the cerebral work on the sub politics thread?Good Lord.....rely on BM for facts. You've have to very, very carefully choose your 'facts' on BM.

The short answer is no.Listening to @projectriver latest podcast, he was saying something on the lines of if the prem league find us guilty it could be a bad thing for them.

Has anyone else noticed that the whole chelsea thing about dodgy payments to agents is being completely ignored….even though it’s admitted!
Stefan rightly still highlighting it but
Essentially if they are charged they are going to have a similar number of charges as us because o yes a number of payments over a period and will affect the numbers in accounts for years after
It’s almost like because they are shit no one cares
Surely the rules are the rules for everyone
Not just City

And I know for a fact that’s exactly what you’d say to him in person (and invite him to be joined by Duncan Ferguson and for them to “both bring their dinner”).The **** has been spectacularly gaslit.
That's because they thought the rules applied only to dirty oil clubs and not them. Interestingly, have any other clubs been investigated, audited or had their accounts checked by the Premier League or do they just accept them in good faith?It was bound to happen eventually!

Andy Burnham has just been on the radio talking about Everton and Forest. They tried to lead him down the City route but he wisely swerved it and skirted round the edges of the issue

Might be the one below but he has been cropping up all over the place in recent times including Talk Sport, Chelsea, Liverpool and Arsenal pods as well as the business podcast (unofficial Partner) when he was a guest with Nick Harris. That was fun :) Also in recent years lots on 93:20 and sometimes discussed it all on x The City Spaces channelWhat do i search under for his latest podcast please
Sitton’s autobiography is a work of art. An endless litany of pushing himself (and others) to the very limits - and beyond. It’s very, very funny. Self-deprecating but at the same time “taking no bollocks from others” stuff.I’d happily say that to his face.
Apart from the **** part, maybe…
That John Sitton clip is a classic!
