PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[bellsouth]

I'm doing my bit to get this over 10000 by the time the judgement is released. Are you doing yours?

You have nothing to fear, it will be closer to 11,000 by that time

Keys thinks City have "gotten away" with it as a "fudge" in his blog that's doing the circuit now.

internet running slow ?

Who asked her to butt in every two minutes.
They all have us guilty there anyway.

Thought the young City lad made a good point to her that Ipswich person didn't moan about getting Delap a product of our corrupt academy.

Yeah ha. He thinks Starmer intervened.. what a jerk

I think one big difference between our case and Chelsea is the Chelsea have admitted certain breaches and may well be sanctioned: City have denied all the charges and claimed to have irrefutable evidence that our accounts are a full and accurate picture of our finances and that all our business conforms to PL regulations. Our financial position is healthy to say the least and we would thus be foolish in the extreme to sell off assets as Chelsea have. Our owners have invested heavily in infrastructure and have done this to increase revenue, not to raise capital by dealing with a crisis which doesn't exist. The concert venue is thought to be worth upwards of £30 million pa., a 400 bed 4* hotel will bring in a bob or two as will increased capacity at the ground. Chelsea's expedients don't appear to breach any PL rules (UEFA's may be a different matter) but they do seem to be a tad desperate.

Really childish.

Can Chelsea resell the hotel to themselves again next season ? That seems to be their plan for avoiding ffp

Don't do yourself down like that mate. You're clearly one of the more erudite and knowledgeable posters on the forum.

Game knows game.

 

[Gordyola]

FFS, it's a feeding frenzy.
In what world does a team with <20pts not deserve to be relegated?!

Weren't even in the PL during the charge period

It’s a good point, well made.

 

[hello]

Slightly different topic, but how did they even qualify for the CWC?

Pep had his biggest ever brainfart, thanks for reminding me I had kind of forgotten about that night.

mcfc lads on The Overlap today.

Ipswich fan basically saying it will be unfair if they get relegated if we are guilty, but not judgement made this season.

I like Luke and watch his vlogs, but he always comes across as nervous on here, up against much older blokes ... I wish they'd allow an Andrew Bucknall or Guy Burke who could really destroy the opposition fans with stone cold facts, especially to that Brummie Rag McKola.

Only 4 people know the outcome. Hairy Hands wouldn't be one

Let’s do a raffle. Guess the number of the last post on here before the verdict is made public. I’m going for 1187.
Prize is a “like”

As yours is post number 99,017 I think you’ve got less chance than Southampton have of staying up!
