PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

Am I being thick... Brexit 2020... Tebas complains 2023 ... what is going to happen with that...we've left?
Or is he hoping they'll try and influence UEFA to revisit (CAS part 2!), an independent and seperate entity from EU/EC.

We are associate members of EC still, but that's still a bit of stretch.

We have entities (Troyes, Girona etc…) who will fall under EU law so possibly after the CFG group.

Tebas may also want to restrict our trade in Europe which may stretch as far as purchasing players and being in European competitions.

But I’m just trying to guess what he’s trying to achieve from this.

I think I read the law he’s gone after is for specifically relates to state owned companies.
City and CFG are not state owned. So if that’s the case he’s a proper dumb ****.

Yep,some of what he's alleging appears to hinge on City being considered state-owned. I think this is why you keep hearing the likes of Delaney banging on about it. It's orchestrated. And while some of the CFG operate from inside the EU, I'm not sure City are able to extricate themselves completely, as UEFA rules and regulations incorporate EU law. The Tribunals can't have gone well for the PL and their cronies. City seem pretty calm about it, so fingers crossed.

And us distorting the market is hilarious when you look at current and historic spending by Barcelona and state funded Madrid.

Two irrefutable facts are that City are not state-owned and the Uk is not part of the EU. Perhaps that’s why Tebas got no reply. This story is the ultimate crock of clickbait shite.

To do that we need to survive 115, and recover on the pitch. It's possible. Pep's young bloods might lead a revival next season, and it might even begin this season in the FA Cup.

Someone should tell Rory Smith who repeats it every Monday night on 5 live. Or Mark Chapman. Or the production team. Or Shay Given. Or Joe Hart. Or Steph Houghton. Or Micah Richards. Or any of the other fuckwits who let it pass unchallenged every single fucking week.

They've been there a week.
I did a mini-review. I enjoyed parts of it but overall a fail.

If I wasn't a City fan, I would look at City and assume its a state controlled entity. The ownership is opaque. We have privately registered shareholders, but the club is run by state officials. However, the UAE state doesn't seem to me to promote MCFC internally or externally and the profile of City is lower there than it is here. I live in the UK but I have been to Abu Dhabi in a Champions League week and for a year I used to go to conferences online hosted by an American Uni in Abu Dhabi. The Emirati academics and students had no interest in MCFC, and they are really proud of their state as it is only 50 years old. I think a few English journalists should go there and then they would realise that sportswashing might me a good idea on paper but in practise it isn't happening with City. When City won the Champions League, we didn't have any UAE fanfare that I noticed. It was all quite rightly about Pep and his team. We never even see Sheikh Mansour. This isn't a club promoting the UAE. In fact when I go to City, I see Natalie Pike on the pitch promoting City in the Community, Gay Pride and diversity, not matters that the UAE is associated with but we should judge a football ownership on what they do . Good old Nat. I used to sit behind her in R block, North Stand at Maine Rd, and then in 216 in the South stand. She is a big City fan. It's not an act.

UEFA is mostly an EU competition but it’s headquartered in France and not only EU clubs tho I suspect it follow EU competition law. Switzerland is kinda quasi in the EU single market for a lot of things with various patch work of treaties on individual industries
