PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

Dribble said:
The cartels intent is that blatant, that only the most obtuse cartel fan can't see FFP, PSR & APT for the attack on City they are. I won't deny I was worried how independent the independent commission or CAS would be, but so far it seems none of them want to commit career suicide by trying to legally justify this nonsense.

Just imagine trying to open a Chippy, & the local NAG (National Association of Grease) shop steward rocks up to tell you you're not allowed to invest in the latest kebab rotisserie, because it'll distort the fast food market & threaten the dominance of the Cod 'n' Lard Friary on the high Street?

This is literally how fuckin ridiculous PSR, FFP & APT are! Quite how the PL & cartel clubs have the balls to publicly stand by this bullshit with a straight face, beggars belief.

The media personnel who grew up in the era of Shankly & Ferguson are thankfully at or past retirement age, & I can't wait until a new generation who couldn't give a shit about football when we drank Bovril from flasks on the standing terraces, replace all the biased dinosaurs, who're still clinging on because they're happy to spin the PL's bollocks propaganda...

Wow!

What the actual fuck! I'm sending this classic article to my cousins! The PMC, PL & UEFA must be fuckin cousins!

"New agriculture minister Dean Nalder, who is just two weeks into the job, made the announcement on Friday. From 1 July, the Potato Marketing Corporation (PMC) will be wound up, and two supporting pieces of legislation abolished, ending the regulator’s powers to stop and search a vehicle they reasonably believe may be carrying more than 50kg of potatoes.

The court cases centred on Galati’s habit of growing more than his allocated tonnage of potatoes and, in one case that got him on to the front page of a national newspaper, giving the illicit crop away for free.

In November, the WA supreme court granted the PMC an injunction to stop Galati selling or distributing an extra 3,600 tonnes of potatoes grown above his quota. The PMC had previously taken Galati to court in 2010 and again in 2011 for growing too many potatoes.

“We still see a very strong future for potato growers,” Nalder said. “We don’t see any other vegetable or fruit that has government regulation and a marketing board for an individual fruit and vegetable ..."

This is FFP, PSR & APT to the tee! :-)

On the one hand the cartel clubs have had everything they want making and enforcing the rules.
However big money has allowed certain Clubs to expose the illegality and unfairness that the cartels claim to be their right with football sector being a spacial case.


The message is that football is not a special case and must obey the legal laws of its country of origin.

About time all sectors of UK business conformed to UK law.

We heard you the first time.

Meanwhile - back in the warped minds of dippers - it is increasingly clear that there is no question we are bang to rights. They are competing with each other to think up the appropriate punishments we should receive.

I think that this fella is the current leader in the most deluded fuckwit award...........(these cunts actually spend time writing this shit)

Re: 115 charges for the scorched earth cheating bastards on & off the pitch​

It’s hard to say exactly what the punishment should be, but it should be severe, given the level of cheating, and it should impact them over multiple years, as their cheating went on over multiple years. We all fear a light punishment, but hopefully the Prem will put a real marker down, or else their whole product (ugh) is in jeopardy. My best guess at a right-sized punishment:

1. Titles stripped
2. Can’t decide if those years should be left blank, as a reminder, or the runner up should be awarded the trophy. I see both sides of that one.
3. Compensation awarded to affected clubs who did not get prize money for what they rightfully earned. Arguably this might also include some sort of formula for other related earnings that were missed out on, such as sponsorship, etc. But Man City need to pay compensation to the teams they cheated.
4. Relegation. Either kicked out of the Premier League on principle, due to egregious cheating and ongoing bad faith litigation OR relegated via significant points deduction, and there have been a couple of precedents for much lesser transgressions at other clubs.

They are now relegated, so then what happens?

1. It is important that they don’t bounce back right away. The cheating went on for multiple years, so the punishment should hurt them over multiple years too.
2. Relegation to the bottom of the Football league pyramid, and they are only welcome in that competition if they abide by their financial regulations. But it would be the old fourth division/league two.
3. In the event that they eventually win promotion back to the Premier League it would come with conditions - open the books since 2018. If not, based on track record, it cannot be assumed they are in order, so no admittance to the Prem.
4. Assuming they get back in another condition must be that their annual books would need to be approved by a team of forensic accountants.
5. There should also be a condition on frivolous, or bad-faith litigation. Man City have forced the Premier League to pay many millions in legal fees, and to get tied up in countless thousands of man-hours, just to try to deal with them. That all needs to stop, or they can’t come back in.
 
The FT article reminds us again of the enormous revenues that the PL, UEFA and FIFA rake in from football. No wonder they show little appetite for reducing the demands placed on players. Yet, as governing bodies this is an aspect of the game for which they have a responsibility. Instead they show an appetite for regulating investment, profitability, sustainability and sponsorship and they draw some very nice revenue, especially from the latter. Is it not a matter for the gravest concern that "governing bodies" should see themselves as regulators in areas in which they are so greedily active? Are they not regulators at all, but rather commercial rivals of the very clubs they seek to regulate? And do they do this fairly, with the blindfolded eyes of justice? Or do they do it to favour the clubs who helped them at the start of the process which made them so rich? Is it not this evident contempt for fair play which is turning football into a legal battleground?

What an absolute bell end. He’s actually thought all that through and wrote it down with the correct punctuation and everything like he’s a fully functioning member of society. Just goes to show you can’t always tell.

That's why have him leading the bellend competition - but he has a lot of competition from fellow cunts
