PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[Gordyola]

I’ve just skimmed the Der Spiegel link, I am no accountant but do these documents and emails show we paid Toure a large amount off the books? and if so are we in the shit?

Foreign players counted as non-dom meaning their earnings outside the Uk can be tax free Imagine rights are counted as worldwide income and thus a large percentage can be counted as outside the uk
So no we aren’t in the shit with HMRC some clubs are being investigated though

How athletes will be affected by the UK’s changes to “non-dom” tax rules - LawInSport

On 8 July 2015, the UK government announced its intention to reform the taxation of foreign domiciled persons (i.e. persons not domiciled in the UK under general law) (“non-doms”).1 The changes will be legislated in the Finance Bill 2016 and introduced from 6 April 2017. They will affect...

Was FFP even in place when this contract was signed? My understanding is that it came in later

It came into being with UEFA in 2011, first reporting period was 2011-2013. It came into the Premier League in 2016 but was supposed to be less stringent. The Premier League voted to take away any time barring so they could retrofit charges against City.

Thanks, tbh I was more thinking about the bogus rules of the Premier League than any HMRC stuff. I recall Newcastle getting raided by customs though but they don’t win things so are ok for now.

Sir chewing gum whiskey nose told nasir to go on war with gooners to force his move , imagine what else he must’ve done to get his targets like van pussy , piano man etc etc

 

[homerdog]

Damn if i was the pl and i wanted to get this done id be signing harris up to be on the legal team quick smart as he definitely knows what he is doing or on planet earth we could know that he is crackpot on social media spouting off subjective hyperbole in a pseudo intellectualised manner in order to seem to his audience like he knows what he is doing because the reality is that if he had one tenth the knowledge or investigative ability that he claims to have he would be in the employ of some of the serious players in the business and sports world as oppose to shilling for pennies on social media, seriously nick get help your zealotry has made you unwell and you have lost all sense of perspective you are not a one eyed man in a world of the blind you are the man who put it all on red when its coming up blue.

Thank god for that comma - could have been a difficult read, otherwise!

in fairness he had his man on the inside Wenger doing his bidding. Blocked piano man’s £60m move to City then handed him to the rags and took a makeweight in a direct swap (one that maybe the premier league should revisit) to free up wages for the rags to afford Piano man.

You could say that about everyone who has written and spoken about City being 115 cheats. A lot of clueless people and fans of other clubs have done that. And will carry on doing that regardless of which way the final decision goes.

Spot on mate but this **** is an extra special level of crank and needs ignoring big style.

 

[Stoned Rose]

Nobody knows. It's the same as the emails UEFA based their charges on. Everyone thought they were clear, but when the other side was presented it wasn't so clear after all.

Personally, I trust the club's irrefutable evidence statement. They have a track record, after all.

 

[Xhavenjoe]

Absolute rubbish. Sooty's dad was Harry Corbett!

And Harry H Corbett was the son of Jamie Vardy.
Its all very confusing.

Its all very confusing.

And Jamie Vardy is Albert Steptoe’s brother.

He certainly is the next level, whoever he is or isn’t :-)

We're very innocent and he knows it.

 

[Brightwell Bros.]

I do not see a world where the PL loses this case unless a plausible explanation for these emails’ existence is provided that does not involve the arrangements taking place.

This guy has clearly spent time with the CAS report, and I don't understand why he can't see that City will obviously be providing a plausible explanation as they did for the Etihad deal. Or that those people don't turn up again, knowing that the whole email cache was in the dump, and make relevant parts of their own audited books available.

I agree it's tedious, why give him the time of day. If I or anyone else wants to read his drivel i can go on his social media. His posts add nothing to the debate.

He is a chartered accountant writing about complex legal stuff...did a good job to con me that he was law student in the US. Looks like it is just a lot of Googling instead.

Who’s he mate ?

Yaya's first name

I was considering a request to the mods or someone with the requiired privilege to create a dedicated Magic Twat thread. Then if anyone feels the need to vent their spleen about him/them they can let rip.
However, we should cleanse him from this thread ? He's thrown the kitchen sink at it now and there's nothing of significance. It's just journalistic, barrack room lawyer drivel. He truly is a pernicious little prick driven by a deep seated pathological hatred for City and especially us the fans.

How about we draw a line, in fact I wil never utter either of his names again....
