PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[cleavers]

They got 3 points from their last 4 games and we got 6 from the same.

It was basically done with 4 games to play, and as you have pointed out they had a tricky finish to the season

The Premier League really needs a more dynamic CEO.

It certainly needs a new/better one, the guy's a prick.

 

[No One Understands]

Of course needs to be brought to a conclusion for the good of the game,was he thinking like this when they ganged up and pushed the whole 115 in the first place fuck off you snide cnut,I hope we get these fuckers in the long run ..

He's just salty now that they're pissing away some of the league prize money to the KCs. I don't think he's really changed his tune towards us.

 

[halfcenturyup]

Even Daniel Levy seems weary of it all now, and he was probably one of the ones pushing for us to be charged.

Well, fuck me. I watched the first part of that and I couldn't believe it. The gall of the man. Calling on the FA to act as an "arbiter" over the PL when he was one of the ones who destroyed the power of the FA in the first place. Hypocritical ****.

And then the bullshit about City, including about multi-club ownership (which I don't support btw but I will do if Levy is vehemently against it) and then he was getting tied in knots by the enormous intellect that is Gary Neville about regulation.

And talking about the PL as "we" and how he would change the voting structure away from 14:6. If ever anyone could describe the problem in a nutshell, that was it. Fucking Spurs.

Dear, oh dear. It was embarrassing.

People forget that they dropped off at the end as they'd already won it, so that goal probably made little difference in the grand scheme of things.

That’s how I still deal with it to this day.

Why does levy talk like Lord Charles when mentioning not being bothered about state owned

The Premier League really needs a more dynamic CEO.

Not just more dynamic but also more honest, neutral and so on. No favourites, no cow towing to the power of the redshirts etc. In other words a real leader for the top of the pyramid. For example, a real leader would persuade the PL clubs to narrow the gap between the PL and the rest by giving a bigger grant to the FL. That would benefit not just the English game but would improve competition in the lower reaches of the PL. A bit of imagination goes a long way.

The main problem is is the voting system now there is so many American owners they all in cahoots with each other! Look at Burnley buying Chelsea cast offs for way down on what they worth

Ok then, a real leader would work with the regulator to get the voting rules changed, since the US owned clubs wouldn’t do that voluntarily.

The US billionaire class don’t think like that, they don’t give an inch & they give no fucks about anyone else.

 

[Prophet of Doom]

Laughable that top of his list of any changes required in football is related party sponsorship !!! Absolutely pathetic and sums up the state of the people running the cartel clubs in England.

Is every American company a related partner to US owned clubs? Of course not, they are not Arabs!
But seriously, your point is well made when you consider all the other areas ripe for reform.

 

[bobbyowenquiff]

That snake levy running his mouth again can only mean we have succeed in beating the most serious charges.

You tried pathetically and badly underestimated those bushwackers from the sand dune.

As for Rato, having a laugh? Piece of rag turd. Both those cunts need a good hiding. The rags will still be a laughing stock in 12 months.

Anytime now tribunal? Lazy twats.

You can see the new narrative from the Masters and Levy interviews. The Comms message is broadly: “We had to enforce the rules for the good of football. It was too difficult to prove because we couldn’t get access to all the documents but we were determined to uphold the interests of all PL clubs.” They don’t mention the bit about the proven smear campaign, or the deliberate and malicious obstruction of our sponsor deals, or creating unlawful regulations against the advice of their own lawyers. And he glossed over wasting at least £30m of clubs’ money with a bungled legal process.

This whole notion that it's the clubs that set PL policy is just nuts. The PL needs a management that sets strategy for the good of the league as a whole (and for that matter the whole pyramid). If four or five clubs don't like it, they can fuck off. A management with balls, not Masters. A principled CEO. Clubs want him sacked? Good luck finding a successor once the IR is in place.

They need someone who isn't going to bend over for the American owned clubs and the red mardarses.
Someone with a backbone and a set of balls but unfortunately I can't see them employing anyone like that.
They will want a patsy, a puppet, someone to fire the loaded gun like the fat ponce masters has done.

They need someone who understands business for one, if you want to run it like a business then you have to understand business and masters doesnt and there is many glaring omissions that point to this. PSR is one of them, tying spend to income is ridiculous when anyone with a basic understanding of economics knows that you have to invest to grow income, now one might surmise that maybe he does understand business and that PSR is to stifle investment but i dont think masters is that bright. The second is the related party stuff, once again anyone with a simple grasp of business and economics would know that in the rarified world of billionaires the vast majority of business are related directly or indirectly on some level.

Said it before and say it again it'll be a yank for the good of the game

Who set the PL up in the first place? Rags, dippers, Arsenal, Spurs and Everton plus they gave themselves 15 percent cut on the tv money whilst the likes of City, Ipswich, Chelsea etc got 10 percent. They loaded the dice in their favour a long time ago and clubs with less money and influence allowed it to happen. This at the time could have been influenced by our then chairman Peter Swales who was pretty influential in what happened at the FA.

As English football has got bigger those clubs barring Everton have solidified their power base but didn’t like it when overseas investment came in firstly at Chelsea and then at City. It upset the apple cart as their now wasn’t enough champions league spaces to keep them happy. They legislated against being openly able to spend when it wasn’t an issue when they were on top.

These clubs unfortunately hold the power with them choosing key positions of leadership in the Premier League and also the football league with an ex ceo of Liverpool running the shop. Hopefully when all of this is done and it’s revealed how the PL behaved and in who’s interest, the game is over for them.
