PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[Coatigan]

You can't be good at stopping someone and also be always too late to stop them.

Ah, there you go again, the irony.

If you read his post back, you might see why your attempt at shithousing is off.

The annoying thing for me is I actually agree or can agree with your underlying point to all this, which had long been lost now. But fuck me does your out for blood attitude of twisting everything till it is absurd distract from that, and just draw everything into basic online out-twatting everyone conflict.

 

[At-Swim-Two-Birds]

No, you can't be good at stopping someone and also be always too late to stop them.

You can't have it both ways. If they're always too late then they're not very good at coming up with rules to stop us, just like @citizen_maine said.

Your syllogisms are fallacious being based on licenced premises.

Thanks for learning me a new word today

The NBA salary cap is like the NFL's - it's based a percentage of the league's total revenue about 50%, I think the NFL's is ~60%.

The salary floor (minium spend) is 90% of the salary cap.





No one is suggesting using a salary cap in the Premier league, they're suggesting borrowing the idea of what happens when you break the salary cap and applying that to breaking the spending limit in the PL.

So just like now in the Premier League, Burnely get to spend 70% of Burnley's revenue, Villa get to spend 70% of Villa's revenue.

Fair enough. That's interesting. I will look some more if this actually happens.

So you think it will be based a percentage of a club's revenues? Isn't that how the "cartel" maintains its advantage? The investment to move into the elite must be prohibitive?

And why would you do all this? Why not just stick to UEFA rules and fine for anything over 70% of revenue based on defined financial sanctions? Seems unneccesarily complicated to me at first glance.

 

[halfcenturyup]

Ah I see! Theyre bases on a % of the leagues revenue, so they (theoretically) go up over time

edit: Domalino explained it far better than me

Thanks.

I like the idea of a percentage of the league's revenue more than each single club's revenue, tbh. More scope for smaller clubs to invest, I suppose.

 

[halfcenturyup]

Nope, I never said a word of that.

I said the Premier League is a collective of 20 companies each looking out for their own interests and doing so incredibly successfully, and that anyone who thinks 1 club is being singled out by the other 19 (or a subdivision therein) and is using the proposal of rules that woud benefit City and do net harm to the "cartel" to convince themselves of that is a conspiracy wack job.

Is anybody saying that?

 

[jockblue]

Which is all a great theory apart from the fact it (a) didn't stop the new guys becoming good enough and (b) didn't relieve any pressure on the existing teams spending to keep up, United are the highest spending team in the league and they're paying record amounts to do record breakingly bad.

So either
a) we have the greatest owners and the greatest manager and managed to keep within the new rules and still take our place and
b) we sneaked in as the trap door was closing to get ourselves into a position to challenge whilst the rules were still drying on the page and
c) United are the polar opposite to us in terms of quality of their spending and management

or

d) We cheated. 115 times. Despicable oil club. Human rights.Everyone knows that.....

I'm pretty sure we all know we're on the side of the angels....

So the hateful eight or nine never sent that letter to CAS?

Lest we forget.

Agreed. The state of post war UK & the Labour government who didn't care too much for the establishment put paid to that.

Remember, the old money & establishment of the aristocracy & ruling classes were vehemently opposed to the post-war Welfare State & the NHS, but they didn't mind sending millions of poor working class folk to die on the killing fields of Europe to defend their state.

The parallels with this situation hold true to then. I can’t see the non-established clubs tolerating points deductions and fines much longer, together they will oppose the power of the red cartel and a more even fair distribution of influence will prevail.

Can you believe the cunts all went to a Toby Carvery?

I concede to to the spelling police. My mitigation is a long lunch. A very long lunch.

They pushed the boat out that much:) There's something about that photo that's almost mafioso.

When did that happen? That illustrates the red cartel in open public view.

There’s definitely something about photo that’s very male pattern baldness.
