We are lucky to have several ultra knowledgable guys in the forum.

Thanks

Just Imagine, just imagine if it was City posting these losses.
Clear and obvious mate!

You can't fail rules you helped to write

Stinks to high heaven pal but they get a free pass with everything.
I'm sure that ponce masters will do his upmost to help the pricks.

Very true. Several ultra knowledgable guys. And me .....

And that get changed when you look like failing them.

So then. I would love to know what "significant exemptions" the rags are going to claim.

If I was an Evertonian, a Forest fan I would be so so pissed off.

Sky just airbrushed it by saying “things like infrastructure, youth football and female football”.

So essentially, the normal things most premier league clubs spend money on.

The wriggling and mental gymnastics on this is going to be a joy to behold.

 

[give it to gordon]

Why are other clubs keeping quiet about the different rules the rags have. The house of cards must start to fall soon

Or misinterpreted them

This is absurd. A loss in excess of £250 million over the last three years when PSR threshold is £105 million. But all ok. F'ing prove it.

Anyone got a contact at Private Eye? Where is Ian Hislop when you need him.

They're going to have to find £150m allowable expenditure to avoid a points deduction under PSR, so £50m a year. I reckon City's allowable expenditure is something like £30m a year tops. Maybe £35m in a good year.

No way they should be meeting it, unless they're going to claim some dodgy shit like they did to avoid an FFP failure.

Stop fishing mate, makes you seem very needy :-)

Seriously though, you're contribution is at least as valuable as @Prestwich_Blue and @slbsn and I for one really appreciate it.

Apart from hiring people from us have they hired the £50m no spade in the park guy from the dippers?

Everton and Forest deserve all they get if they don't question this to the absolute max.

Caught one :)

But really, those guys, and others, have been involved with the club's finances and legal stuff much longer than I have and anything I know about the legal side I have learned from the lawyers on here, anyway. Credit to them. I contribute when I have something to share from my own experience. That's all. But thanks for the compliment.

£10m a year for Avram Glazer's ponytail. £20m to smarten Scruffy Jim up.

You could spend £200m on that git and he still wouldn't be smart
(Unfortunately he does have some business acumen - mainly spending council payers money to get things built his businesses won't pay for themselves allegedly)

Sales manager and fourth choice Masters needs to be f'ing nailed to the wall if he doesn't take action.

Plenty of mental gymnastics to be sure, but highly unlikely that there will be any enforcement of the rules which are used to penalise clubs not protected by the PL rulemakers.

nithing will happen,just like their “minor” ffp breach. It’s all bullshit and spin to protect them.

How Did We Get Here ?

In some ways, we owe the GPC a huge debt of gratitude because the PL were completely reassured by his incessant piss taking circa 2009. All his 'not in my life time' and 'noisy neighbours' slurs did the trick and also provided a copious amount of MSM content. PL rivals were happy to cash in with inflated transfer fees (Lescott, Santa Cruz, Barry et al). Happy days.

However, by 2013, the PL realised that the GPC had, in fact, gone gaga, and we were well on our way. The red cartel was formed and Prof Wegner was charged with the job of drafting FFP v1.

Unfortunately, a new adversary was about to enter the stage in the form of Qatar. Their takeover of PSG and the creation of Bein Sports by Qatar Sports Investments, may have seemed, to us, nowt to do with ickle City.

However, the rivalry between Qatar and UAE is so acrimonious it almost lead to the outbreak of war until the intervention of Saudi Arabia. The link below provides a recent update on the seriousness of Qatar UAE relations, it's still highly fragile.

Its estimated Bein have paid in total over $2.5b to UEFA for broadcast rights. In case you hadn't noticed, Bein despise City and via Hairy Hands and Gray never ever stop sluring us. In contrast we have paid $0 to UEFA, except for fines.

This all coincided with the UEFA onslaught of attacks that culminated in CAS2020. The PL cartel had assumed the higher authority, i.e., UEFA with Qatari help, would do their dirty work for them.
The PL chipped in a wee bit with the famous hateful 9 letter who were desperate for CAS to decapitate us soon as poss. They were all convinced we would be excluded from the UCL for two years and slapped with huge fines. We know what happened next, as rat boy said in a Freudian slip "the attack was botched."
Surprise, surprise, within days the MSM reported 'new investigations' by the PL had started, culminating in 2023 with the 115/130 shit show. The cosy relationship between PSG and Ligue 1 is in marked contrast to the animosity of the PL and City, typified by cartel man Masters and his "all regimes come and go, eventually" statement.

In some ways we have done incredibly well to get here (World Champions etc) despite the efforts of UEFA, Qatar, the PL red cartel and incessant MSM attacks by paid shills like Twat-Harris/Delooney/Roan, and of course cyber twats like Pinto.

My God I'm starting to think the behind the scenes victories are on a par with the on field excellence.
