PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

Don't wish to deflect the thread but I thought that the following might be of interest as a salutary reminder of how the PL/FA/UEFA deal with us in comparison to other clubs.

It's a post I made on social media exactly 8 years ago today (3 February) as part of a football discussion with family and friends (some of the latter support other teams) and compares how WBA was treated by the authorities/media with regard to a drugs issue involving one of its players to how City was dealt with when three administrative infractions (to do with 'player whereabouts records') came to light.

As I said at the end, 'twas ever thus..

====================================

"So, forgive me being thick but I'm struggling with this one announced today:

Between WBA and the FA, they decided to keep 'schtumm' about Saido Berahino's 8 week ban for failing a drugs test after taking 'recreational' (aka 'illegal') drugs.

This left manager Tony Pulis hanging out to dry all that time, with Baggies' fans complaining/internet trolling him with threats of violence. All because he wasn't picking Berahino for the team.. when he wasn't ALLOWED to pick him. And he couldn't say anything in his defence while being trolled.

It contrasts sharply with the screaming headlines ever since January that have accompanied the FA's announcement that Manchester City had breached its drugs regulations This was because forms declaring Academy players' whereabouts were not completed correctly. Headline after headline suggested that points may be deducted from the team. And as ever, this was the cue for the usual, widespread internet trolling from tribal bampots favouring the cartel behind the complaints against us since The Sheikh took over at our club. I wonder who's briefing who..?

'Twas ever thus.."

I haven't got the faintest fucking clue what either of them is talking about, but if Stefan's winning, pencil me in for a hurrah!

I love how Simon Jordan tried to imply that Stefan doesn't know about basic financial mechanisms.

Simon Jordan puts companies into administration. Stefan brings them out of it.

Jordan is used to screaming unabated into the void on Talksport. It isn't surprising he can't handle some competent challenge to his views.
 
Why the fuck does anyone listen to Talksport?

I hear they have a gap in their line up for a sex pest since they don’t use Collymore too much. Jenas is on his way. In this horrible world of cancel culture this is one organisation I’m amazed this crowd have escaped. The acceptable face of Talksport is Cundy and O’Hara who sound like two Chimpanzee mates hurling their own shit at a ships foghorn.

I suppose he has to belike this to keep getting booked in the media. He's even quite gracious to Nick Harris, whom he appeared with on a podcast a while back. That was a conversation between one person who clearly knew what he was talking about and another who didn't, but who then behaved deplorably when it became clear what the general public perception of the discussion was.

On the other hand, I regard these people Stefan jousts with as cunts who come across to me as obnoxious enough to be fully deserving of that epithet, which is described by vocabulary.com "a contender for most offensive word in English". And as I post only on here, I can say to my heart's content that Jordan and Harris, along with many others in similar media roles, are cunts.

Only media outlet that'll give individuals like S.Borson a platform.

haha brilliant
 
I saw a funny Talksport clip yesterday with @slbsn and some other guy and it was pretty embarrassing. I can't find it and haven't seen it on here but Stefan was stating that if a massive risk is hanging over a club like City they won't increase the wage bill, tie Haaland down and bring new players in like they have. Straightforward stuff if you've even been in a boardroom. You manage any risk.

The balloon he was debating with was foghorning cliches like some geezer from Essex on a football forum. "City will just spend what they want" and all this nonsense and you could see the contempt in Stefan's eyes. This clown's football fan brain was unable to compute basic business.
