PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

There is an argument that the Premier League is currently in an almost unassailable position as the most valuable league in the World.

The TV rights are double La Liga, and more than triple Serie A and the Bundesliga. That inequality is pretty much unprecedented, and with the amounts involved isn't likely to be closed any time soon.

The PL has also gone from a big three, to a big four, and now a big six - all in the top ten richest clubs in the World. Elsewhere, while the superclubs are doing well, the gaps between the traditional big 1 or 2 in each league is getting even larger. While I think the PL has too many rich clubs for it to happen, France is a major warning to any league that allows an owner to put in money way beyond the rest of the clubs. PSG are now something like four times the size of any other club, but the league's value is pitiful, with PSG's yearly revenue higher than Ligue 1's entire TV deal!

The PL has the most money, the best players, and is still more competitive, with more "world famous" clubs than any other league. They're probably happy with the status quo (as obviously are the clubs at the top).

Complacency is a terrible affliction. In consumer markets it can send you from hero to zero in a flash.

And that some of city's charges relate to Mancini receiving money for a consultancy role in the UAE when managing City
Ferguson received a large stake in a racehorse as a bonus, which everyone knows about, and this was never questioned

Correct, Rock of Gibraltar went on to become a City legend :)

And as sure as eggs are eggs @kevlardog doesn't respond to a direct question.
In all my years on here you tend to spot the behaviour of wums. They are negative, don't really respond to questions put to them, don't bring anything to the conversation and have low post counts despite being members for a while.
This geezer ticks all the boxes.

This and only this, since coming in the guys in charge have done EVERYTHING they said they were going to do, they have brought about a period of unprecedented success, upgraded everything about the club and its infrastructure, invested massively in the surrounding areas of manchester so when khaldoon says we have irrefutable evidence im more inclined to the believe him than the embarrassment that is the british media and a man who was third choice for the job he currently holds and is to football what michael fish was to weather.
 
i ve have been a blue since 1970.
Hardcore bertie !!

Although i have great faith in our owner , Khaldoon and his team.
Who have delivered on every level and appear totally soncere.
I am Nervous about the case.
Maybe its the constant negativity attached to us at every turn,evry program,tweet,pub chat...ect.
The old smoke without fire comes to mind.
or is the smoke generated by the cartel.

Sick of the negativity attached to our unprecedented success

C`mon Blues. Lets get this thing over the line

What is it you are worried about? Just no smoke without fire? Or anything more specific?

You're contradicting yourself there tho, if you have faith in them and that they are on the up and up then you dont need to be nervous, if you choose to believe the press (who lie for a living) social media which is inherent bollocks and the desperate rambling of opposition fans who are confirming their desperate bias over the words of people who have done everything they said they were going to do and then some then you dont have faith in them and all they have done has been for nought.

The choice is yours and either way is understandable but i know where my money lies.

The way look at it is what’s the worst that could happen? We get relegated? So what? You’ll still tip up at the Etihad every other week. The return journey back to the top will be great fun. Pep’s likely to leave next year and even if he does hang around it will only be for the next 2 or 3 years.

Can you really see Sheik Mansour MAHTBCT or Khaldoon taking any punishment lying down? They’ll come out fighting do the club and us.

This is the Manchester City FC rollercoaster. Strap yourself in and enjoy the ride.

When I read the cas document it said that city were paid 8million directly by Etihad and then the remaining 59 by the uae central funds which was loaned to etihad - is that correct?

If it was loaned to Etihad then it would have all come directly from them, where they get their cash flow is their concern.

The contradictory language no doubt comes from 1% uncertainty
Have they got something we dont know about??
Yes - i`m 99% but nervous about these sneaky fukers

but thats the point im making, to assume they have something we dont know about would be to assume there is something to have and therefore we arent on the up and up.

Do you honestly think that ANY club is whiter than white & hasn't done thing's they shouldn't, to try to gain an advantage ?
I'd be fucking amazed if there are any clubs that hasn't, at some time or other.

Definitely the case that all clubs have skeletons in their Boardrooms.
Will bet that if City get a severe punishment, the deep-diving from our accountants and lawyers into other clubs' financial affairs, will be off the Richter scale...
