Would we not be in a good position over related party I mean there is an accepted definition in accounting terms. We have no related party deals in the accounts right ?That's actually quite interesting, although I doubt Herbert will understand why.
Clearly some of it is just simple journalistic and uninformed nonsense but, assuming he actually did hear that the panel looked at the mind-boggling complexity of the AD sponsorships (which isn't news, btw, as it was already exposed in the APT case, for Etihad at least) and if his source is using that as an indication that City may have been using complex contracts to get around FFP (rather than, say, oh I don't know, the much more serious allegation that Mansour paid the sponsorship himself) then that may be an indication that the PL's allegations over funding sponsorships failed, and their attention was instead drawn to the related party nature of the deals and their fair value as we discussed a while ago.
That is an important shift in tone imho from very serious legal fraud issues to less serious and more esoteric accounting issues and is a good one for people looking for "signs".
Of course, it may be that I, Herbert or both are all talking just plain bollocks, but I reckon this may be the first indication that the PL actually struggled with its more serious allegations as we always thought they would.
The narrative of our enemies has changed from “City and their Arab owners are cheats who must be relegated” to “ Their finances are too complex to understand. They must have something to hide.” Smells like good news to me.Herbert won’t have any inside track on what’s going on and has demonstrated his lack of understanding and impartiality on the subject. I wouldn’t bother giving it a click, it’s the equivalent of a client journalist for the post office writing an article that he hopes all accused post masters should just accept their charges and not fight them.
talking of false accounting do the pl have access to the rags Carmen Island accounts ?
I know we joke about this with the rags but it really pisses me of that rags are given a free pass, like being 75m over ffp but let off.now that really is a genuine soap opera :)

I fail to see how any action against any club is legal while the rags are allowed to get away with breaking the rules
I don’t think even chemical Jim saw them until after he parted with a billion quid. Which is why he is now realising he has to sack everyone and beg Elon Musk to give him money to sort the swamp out. Money earned they told us, when is the last time they earned a profit and upped their cash reserves? Everything they do is on tick.talking of false accounting do the pl have access to the rags Carmen Island accounts ? If not why not ? seems unfair to me that City cant use this witch hunt as others clubs arent being investigated like City

They are published quarterly on the NYSE and are very detailed. Not sure you’ll get much mileage on this one!talking of false accounting do the pl have access to the rags Carmen Island accounts ?

So the question why do the clubs that get screwed over do nothing ? Theres only 4 clubs that stand up to the pl. I would guess the others are breaking the rules somewhere along the way so support the cartel for their own protection.That's why the PL really can't be allowed to continue to oversee the running of things when the favoured teams get such favourable treatment, whilst others are hounded and vilified.
just because they are published doesnt mean their isnt anything dodge ! Arent Citys account published ? City are accused of fraudThey are published quarterly on the NYSE and are very detailed. Not sure you’ll get much mileage on this one!

I cant see why the IC cant say until all clubs are investigated to Citys level the case is null n void !!
That would keep them Bizettalking of false accounting do the pl have access to the rags Carmen Island accounts ?
