PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

I suppose to look on the bright side of united being able to get away with effectively breaking FFP/PSR by £75m is that ultimately its just giving them more rope to hang themselves... all it means is their debt has got even bigger and, as per usual, they won't have spent that money wisely and actually improved as a result of it.

I was thinking the same, if they carry on down this trajectory they will fail again. With no Covid to blame, how will the PL get em off next time?
 
Even if this is brought up at the next premier league meeting, I think the only way this gains any momentum is probably a legal challenge from forest or everton.

We know about the allowances now, we know the amount, but we don't know the exact reasons and justification. It'd be far too easy for them to shrug their shoulders and claim they did it all fairly and case by case, without divulging much else.

What should be of major concern to almost every club is that fact there has clearly been a dialogue here with united, which has payed dividends, probably quite literally. So that process of communicating, what was it and were others given the same opportunities to build up that relationship and understanding? It's clearly a different level of communication than is afforded to the rest of us.

That's even before we get to the extremely questionable allowances themselves. I'd love to know exactly how these were justified, but as said above, without a legal challenge I'm not sure we'd ever know. So the best hope is to raise awareness, hope the rest of the league's turkeys stop voting for Christmas.

Remember we used to make cracks about special rules and conditions that would be applied only to teams in red who played in Trafford?
It’s beginning to look more likely now.

Presumably they will have incurred costs of around £50M thinking about a new stadium?

Wait till they get Chelsea Jim's expenses form, for attending those high powered meetings with Seb Coe and Burnham. Private jet from Monaco and the butties from Greggs will not be cheap.

I would presume that Everton have the strongest argument for complaining about the £40m Covid payment, as this includes an amount for sponsors payments to them being reduced by Covid. Everton's sponsors also reduced their payments to the club due to the fact that they were Russian and embragoed by the sanctions after the invasion of Ukraine.

Both external impacts to reduce sponsorship payments. Only one accepted.

I agree with you but Everton have always been brown nosers

"City relegation possibly" yet the silence about rags 75million deal with the pl is ignored.
I would say that rags 75million deal with the pl is a much bigger story than our witchhunt. A story of one club that Vetted Masters for his job, now gets a huge helping hand from Masters. It's fraud, it's cheating, it's fucking stinks.
Yet our press/media just ignore it.
This club has huge debt is still spending in the transfer market when in fact utd failed ffp by 75million quid.

Is that the Covid let off reported in the Daily Mail. If so, it was reported with the headline Forest and Everton not happy about double standards.

It's utterly outrageous, yet not a peep from the media. I hope Forest and Everton are kicking up a stink.
