PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[I'm Blue]

I believe they’d have argued who was picking up the tab.

In the end they decided to let the tax payer pick up the bill.

Chelsea, Spurs, Arsenal all reported serious losses recently. of course PL looking to change PSR rules to make it less serious. its not nice if these clubs will go under pressure and labelled cheaters.
we should vote against it haha and watch them limit their spending or get points deductions each year.

The whole thing has been mismanaged to the point of incompetence, especially the last couple of years.

Passing new rules in February and then leaking that those new rules are going to be abandoned just over a month later is no way to run any organisation.

Punishing clubs with points deductions that have serious consequences and then leaking that the whole thing is going to be abandoned while the points deduction processes are still in place, no less. Unbelievable.

And, finally, the crowning turd in the water tank, forcing certain clubs to sell some of their best players in a hurry at the end of June to meet rules that you have already leaked are going to be scrapped, with the usual vulture clubs circling around for bargains, is unconscionable. Sustainability my arse.

There is no strategic direction at the PL. They are just blowing in the wind of the most powerful clubs. It really is hopeless.

I am with you. I hope seven clubs who have worked hard to comply with the PL's idiot financial rules refuse to accept any changes for another year at least just to force the PL to make the changes to its organisation that are required. Clubs like Burnley, Luton and Sheffield United, who are getting relegated while complying, should get together with clubs like Villa, Chelsea, Newcastle and Wolves who are getting fucked over this summer to say you made these rules, now suffer the consequences along with us.

Or maybe City should organise a block of seven like-minded clubs to stymy any rule changes that don't make football sense. Or maybe that is already happening behind the scenes .....

That was just an offhanded joke on my part not meant to be taken seriously. I agree with what you're saying but it's definitely a sport with plenty of risk, it just functions differently.

I didn't take your post as having a pop!
I was just pointing out the flaws, as i would hate us to end up with that system etc.
If the PL's American owners get their way, that is what they want.

The trouble with this forum is lack of emoji's. It is very hard to judge peoples intention(s) when read in plain text only.
I hate it when somebody posts bad news, and your only way of reacting is to "Like" the post!!!

This thread is just full of shit and nonsense

Only when it's on topic

100%. And when you try to circumnavigate this & drag BM into the modern world, some FOC who prefererred the world when it was viewed on a Black & white telly, is sure to kick up a stink, because they don't get the reason for emojis.

In order to understand this problem you have to imagine that you are one of the cartel. Think how their minds work as hard nosed businessmen who are in football primarily for the money and future value of their assets.

They are only concerned about the future. Which I keep on banging on about. Their main rivals must be controlled and stopped from progressing, while they need to work with their allies to maintain supremacy. All that is happening makes perfect sense under this lense.

Liverpool no Champions League this season- big financial hit.

Man City this season potential Champions League income 129 million if win. Even if we knocked out suspect 50 million earnings higher than United.

Next season potentially no Champions League for United. Stefan says Champions League prize fund increase with more games. Therfore estimate 150 million potential earnings for City win. That is potential maybe 100 million extra earnings than United, even if they have Europa League success.

Club World Cup 2025 could be reported in next seasons financial results I suspect. City
reporting to end of June, suspect could change to end of July to include these earnings. Projected 50 to 100 million for win.

As I have said, they have to get us now or they are loosing the race big time.

What’s the reason for preventing the use of emojis? Is it something to do with the structure of the site?

 

[mrbelfry]

Here's my prediction of what happens:
1) The IR comes in and announces it is reviewing all outstanding disciplinary cases in effect shutting down the IC
2) Two years later the IR announces that all outstanding disciplinary cases from the pre IR era have been reviewed and no further action will be taken due to the historic nature of such cases (it'll be 10 years since the original EPL charge)
3) we get off due to time barring, bribery and human rights
4) we beat united home and away
5) Pep extends again
6) we celebrate by signing an actual left back and play him at right wing then send him on loan to Troyes
7) Khaldoon expresses the desire to put the disciplinary issues behind us and the club will speak no further on the matter
8) Sergio Agueros son will join our academy
9) Manchester City council will announce the end to on street parking within 10 miles of the Etihad and tram services will be limited. A single water taxi will go from town to the co-op arena once a month
10) Rashford will sign for Sunderland

Can Aristotle play left back?

No, he can serve it up on a Plato

The Liverpool boss put it through as stadium development.

More likely, they photocopied the bill for each of them and they all claimed it on PL expenses…

Nope. The last time it was brought up, emojis were viewed as taking away from BM's sterile look, with some FOC saying they looked childish.

As pointed out by @fulabeer if someone regales a sad event like the Blue who went missing & was recently found deceased at Chorlton/Sale Waterpark, it's more fitting to show a sad emoji, than a thumbs up like.

Now I come to think of it, arguments raged for years before a like function was eventually added. I think the reasoning was people liking a post would reduce member interactions. It doesn't look like that ended up being the case after all.

Some FOC's just need to be kept away from anything that requires electricity as an energy source, as they evidently yearn for a time when parafin lights were all the rage.

Didnt ferguson start spouting along with wenga about banning youth matches against mcfc because offering free education at st bede's was cheating ( from memory i think we'd just bounced them and sunderland goals galore)

I mean the man is vile. Offering free St Bede education to players as a fallback is a wonderful thing and the FA should make such moves mandatory.

 

[Stoned Rose]

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

And they’ll have found a way to avoid paying, blamed the waiter, then instructed the restaurant to deduct it from his wages.

Can see the Glazers buying the restaurant with someone else’s money, diverting all the revenue to a bank account in the Cayman Islands, appoint (and sack) several substandard managers, employ a load of overpaid and lazy staff, run it into the ground for twenty years and then sell it to a scruffy **** from Failsworth.

At the very least we could have a thumbs down option, which I think might kill some of these tangential debates that have nothing to do with the thread's main subject.
