PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[eyalluvitt]

Richard Keys thinks we have "got away" with it as a "fudge"

He’s not being very even ‘hairy’ handed with that view on it

Somebody had to be first.

Genuinely, just a reply to someone's post, April 1 wasn't on my radar. Besides, what I wrote is totally believable and not silly at all...

Must be a nightmare for you where you are, with it being full of "Proper" scousers and all :)

My best mate is a diehard Liverpool supporter but he knows better than to get involved. He doesn’t do the politics of football. He knows it sets me off. He knows it’s shady. Just likes to see decent football, so doesn’t have a problem with City like most of the Scouse followers and Rags alike over here.

I just tell them all that they’re going to be awfully disappointed having spent the last few years listening to the clickbait media.

And I think he's a hairy-handed ****

Selling the women's team back to yourself is dodgy as fuck. Imagine if we'd had done that.

I read that UEFA May take a different view to the Prem on the Chelsea sell to yourself routine and deem it circumvents their rules. Logically they should as should the Prem who I’m sure will eventually plug this looophole in their usual Whaackamole way. Would be ironic if the Chavs were punished by UEFA when they qualify for one of the Euro comps this year. Sorry can’t find article I read.

Well we all know he failed to get away with it with his sick missus and we know which fudge he has in his mind. Sad bastard

Thinking it's a fudge iis his way of coping. We all know he absolutely despises City. Remember him saying that Pep was a failure as a manager because he hadn't won the Champions league at the time. Idiot. A very hairy bitter man.

 

[I'm Blue]

What i want to know is who gives a fuck about Chelsea?

Couldn't care less about them. They are irrelevant to us and this thread.

Nah fuck that I want them stripped of titles.
I want another CL and another PL Trophy ; )

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.

Was it nine clubs that wanted the premier to investigate us even after the cas verdict?! Just because they thought we might be dodgy it fucking stinks and if we get of we should be going after those clubs!

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

Those pesky kids and Scooby Doo solved the mystery for him, did they ?

 

[Damocles]

No mate, when I say nothing, I mean nothing has happened. IE. The club don't have a decision and have no date for when it will arrive.

Ok cheers pal

They only plug loop holes if it affects Man City and that loop hole was given the ok by the majority of the premier clubs..

 

[WesthoughtonJohn]

Which will come first - the verdict or the rags new stadium?

Fuckin hell if it's the latter we'll be 10 or 15 years down the line!!

 

[Gremlin]

Come on guys, nearly there - last push to get the page count over 10,000. I'm going to be really disappointed if it lands before then and a new thread is started.

Not right that.

He’s a fat sad bastard

Think it’s fair to say that any soft signals can only be down to the confidence of the lawyers after it concluded.

Think it’s fair to say that any soft signals can only be down to the confidence of the lawyers after it concluded.

I know that lawyers usually play up confidence, however given the onus is very much on the PL to make a strong case for serious allegations, our team must surely know that the PL haven't been able to provide the required level of evidence. And with that set against our accounts evidence I very confident also even from my position of ignorance.

 

[The Light Was Yellow Sir]

Hopefully the thread can stop focussing on Chelsea and more on the enablement of what they did and this should be the story and where we should be highlighting PL inconsistencies, in relation to FMV, related parties and, especially, in relation to UEFA alignment.

Any fair minded person would look at selling things back to yourself to make a ‘profit’ and say it looks wrong but, somehow, the PL clubs voted it through.

Not with 14 clubs but with a ‘majority’ after some abstentions.
A perfect example of the ‘tyranny of the majority’, if you will.

I'll guess 99320 for romantic reasons. But no fucking chance it wins.

Have you just celebrated your 26th wedding anniversary?

 

[IrishBlueSince92]

If the club have no idea of the verdict and no date for the outcome, why were we all getting so positive a few days ago that Simon Cliff wanted a question minuted at the Premier League meeting?

Surely we're reading too much into it as well if Cliff has no idea of the outcome.
