PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[tregyblue61]

If you do a 360 you’re back where you started surely?

"It's a 180 you stupid spaghetti slurping cretin"

According to Charles Dance....not me.

[Dribble]

if these new rules are trying to stop City then the 115 charges must be a dead Duck.

And the 115 breaches mood music which will mainly affect City, seems to be changing just as these new proposals are due to be refined & voted on... Purely by coincidence.

They're so fuckin blatant, it's sickening.

This fair game is going nowhere. The clubs are finally waking up to the fact that the league was fine before all this financial crap.

Destroying itself because of jealousy was never a good idea.

 

[waspish]

What was ever wrong with free market forces ??.

The Yank cartels malign influence on the PL and, ultimately football generally, needs exposing and showing up for what it is........shameful protectionism,discrimination and exploitation.

Before long City will be recognised and thanked for saving the game.

Manchester thanks you Sheikh Mansour.

DELICIOUS !!

The Media don't want to say anything they are all on payrol as in the papers they work for are mainly owned by American or An Aussie

I just want to go back to TH tweets about certain media outlets being sent letters threatening legal action if they continue to call us cheats and I found something really interesting (to me anyway) and I'm convinced Goldbridge has got one and I'll explain why.

I was sent a link to a podcast he does with another lad(not the Ben Foster one) and they are talking about the title race. Goldbridge says if hopes arsenal win but they won't because of the juggernaut that is City he then says "City fans you'll notice that I haven't brought up the 115 charges and it's not because I've been threatened with legal action" and they both burst out laughing.

I found this to be a bit odd as he's been really vocal about it calling us cheats, liars ect so I did a bit of digging.

I watched some of his videos in the last week (sad I know!) and when he talks about us he either just doesn't mention the charges at all or if his viewers ask him about it he just says they are an irreverence. That's quite a u-turn from him within a week.

It could also signal why stations like TalkShite and especially Jordan have softened their stance. If anyone wants to watch it I'll post a link

I think it’s safe to assume on literally any basis, City have NOT sent a letter to Mark Fcking Goldbridge. Deary me.

Nah mate. Prophet of Valium pointed out a single piece in the Mail which proves him right that no such letters were ever sent.

Well it is true he doesn't ask me for briefings like he does with Kieran. But he does seem to have changed his views on the drivers of FFP despite what he claims to think of things like my Unofficial Partner debate!

I went to see a film the other day, I was appalled that the producers had paid a big price for the best up and coming actors & actresses to appear. The film was very good, excellent in fact, as the director is considered to be the best in the World. The film will most certainly win a lot of awards but, for me, they won't mean a thing, how do other films expect to compete on a shoestring budget with worse directors.
I think all future films should have a salary cap to enable more even competition.

You had him on the run @projectriver :-).
He didn’t have answers to your points and could only try shouting over you. Kieran didn’t have a point to prove re City so he’s a safer option.

indeed.
I'm sure Mr Patel, of Patels Mini-Mart will be keeping a close eye on this, as his ongoing battle with Tesco continues..

Some of the biggest losers here will be Academies like ours, there’s no point trying to develop young players, the majority of them who won’t make it at top flight level. The payback for investment in Academies is future sales of a few players to lower league clubs to offset the cost of developing all the players within the set up.

There’s plenty who don’t make it but they have at least been given a chance to fulfil their dreams with fantastic coaching and education.

These new rules will have the effect of driving down transfer fees at all levels, probably making Academies to potentially run at a loss. However if a player like Cole Palmer is sold for big money it’ll still add to revenue but that money will not be able to be reinvested on an alternative player.

As a consequence of this bullshit player fees will plummet in the next few seasons, will drive down the quality of the PL and Europes elite will benefit, they must be pissing their sides watching the most successful domestic league in the world tearing itself apart.

It’s on a par with Gerald Ratner’s famous off the cuff comment:

“How can Ratner’s sell jewellery so cheap?”

Gerald

“Because it’s all crap”

Ratners didn’t last long after that.

Was thinking about this last night. Is the new spending cap on Net Spend? Surely it must be which makes the Academy even more imprtant.

The vote the other day was only on the principle of anchoring. It still has to be finalised and one key area is can profits on player sales be in addition to the turnover cap.

It’s purely based on TV revenue, any money made on player sales is completely irrelevant if all other income covers the 5 x the lowest club’s TV money.

I certainly hope it is. The Academy would be really important then,

Yes but, don’t forget which club has been doing well from the Academy, it’ll be on the table that player profits won’t be included in the criteria, I’m pretty sure of that.

Then that defeats the object of selling established players like Gallagher and James in Chelsea’s situation

As I understand it, and someone will possibly have more knowledge on this, as an example a team like say Newcastle who’s turnover was about 250m it helps them as if the TV revenues of the bottom club is 100m and it’s x 5 that means potentially Newcastle have up to 250m whereby sale of players would be an advantage.

In our case our turnover is 700m plus but we’re restricted to 500m so any player profits are irrelevant.

Chelsea will need to sell to balance this years PSR rules, the changes won’t affect the end of season sales.
