PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

Absolutely spot on. They don't care who they shit on if they can make a dollar. I've heard that some Premier League games may be played in America, when and WTF for ?
None of this would have happened if the PL had a strong leader. Masters has been out of his depth since day one. There is nothing in his past career that suggests he would be able to cope with legal and financial pressures at such a high level. He has been manipulated into a position and is too far gone to get out. After watching him give evidence to two Commons Select Committees I have a much better understanding of what has happened. He was a rabbit in the headlights. Some of the Committee members ended up mocking him. The US influenced clubs have pushed him into a position and he has not been strong enough to resist. It has been a disastrous managerial failure, a bit like the Post Office scandal which could never have happened with strong leadership.
 
Anyone else seen this? It's shocking journalism from the BBC (surprise, surprise) and there are material inaccuracies in it.

Yes, I couldn't believe their idiocy in letting that be published. I've complained to them and requested an official response as below:

"Besides the article lacking any balance ( as evidenced through sub headers such as when will man city be punished?' and not will , the article also specifically says:

What do the 115 charges mean? Effectively that Man City cheated.

This is an outrageous and factually incorrect statement. The charges do not mean the club cheated. They mean only that they are accused of breaking regulations, and is not an indicator of their guilt or innocence.

Given that innocent Manchester City fans have been violently attacked and hurt by rival fans, who now see them as valid targets for their anger because of exactly this kind of inaccurate and inflammatory reporting, the BBC should do better to ensure factually correct and balanced statements in the future.

Manchester City deny all charges. An angle just as interesting, if not more so, would be to ask what happens to football governance and financial guidance in the sport if Manchester City, as with the uefa case already, are cleared of the charges against them."

That is absolutely hilarious.
I can imagine whoever wrote it was frothing at the mouth, snot dangling from each nostril and rocking back and forth.

Can't stop laughing. That piece sounds like they know we're getting nothing put on us at all, it's almost like the media saying a player were about to unveil is off to another club.

Steady on there PB ...
Thanks for heads up
Not clicking on it as the **** clearly is incapable of joined up writing, painting by numbers nor dot to dot
 
That BBC article is funny as fuck. You'd have to be completely devoid of any critical thinking if you've written that or if you read it nodding along.
 
I've written a complaint about the BBC article and asked them to update it due to factual inaccuracies. I've also told them to read the CAS report in order to get their facts straight.
