PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

Wouldn't this be similar to insider trading - clubs acting in the knowledge of, but before an announcement? Similar to clubs acting pro-actively on knowledge of proposed rule changes. If United and Liverpool are getting the heads up from their appointee, Masters, that should be illegal too.

For insider trading you have to use inside information that is not publicly available. PL clubs may just be guessing, which is ok.

That's what is being implied here. Clubs knowing the outcome and spending because they know changes are afoot. Personally, I don't think that's the case, but it is annoying that United can spend way beyond the limit of £105m per year over three years, or whatever that rule is that is being conveniently overlooked or circumvented.

Definitely not illegal but not needed anyway as all clubs promise to treat each other fairly, equally and with respect.




Allegedly.

Its going well for the red cartel whilst Newcastle Aston Villa have to tread carefully despite having the cash to spend big. Ricky Masters and UEFA doing a great job of protecting the status quo. Liverpool needed the Moores money to become a big club. That would not happen now. Most Liverpool fans will conveniently forget or not know this fact.

Why aren't Newcastle, Villa etc not questioning why the red shirts can spend big money on players, but they can't? I would be extremely fucked off if I was the owner of these clubs.

Haha, exactly the opposite, sadly.

Too many of our players refusing to move on and run down their deals.

The same ones who all wanted rises and extensions after the Treble, as Txiki hinted towards.

Say what you want about Walker, and I've said plenty, but he chose playing before cash.

We dozed on the job.

Is this mainly due holding on to players for a season or two longer than we have, leaving little resale value?

I feel as though we are entering into this season with our hands tied…….unable to completely revitalise the squad with younger, fitter players because there are not sufficient places due to the above.

Peps choice or just the hierarchy taking their eye off the ball …….or a combination ?

You want the club to sell them in the middle of our treble and 4 in a row charge?

It’s just the cost of being successful.

Clubs around us have been chopping and changing and burning hundreds of millions chasing us the last decade but it won’t get spoken about, some just think it’s a computer game where you can ship Akanji and Gundogan to Saudi for 200m and then we can play Reis and Cherki instead

Assuming they are ambitious and most of these are. But another thing these rules do is make it very comfortable for owners who just want to squeeze cash out of the club. They have a ready made excuse for not investing.

Ev'rybody seems to nag me
Comin' Tuesday I feel better
Even my old man looks good
Wed'sday just don't go
Thursday goes too slow
I've got Friday on my mind

A bit of trivia. The Easybeats featured Angus Youngs (AC/DC) older brother George, who co wrote most of their songs after the family had emigrated to Oz in the 1960's from Glasgow.

David Bowie does a great version of the song on the Pin Ups LP 1973.
 
Sorry, tried to catch up but is the discussion here that other teams spending big is in some way potentially related to the verdict of our hearing? If so, what does their spending levels imply about the verdict and how?

Yes to the first question, nothing whatsoever to the second.

Someone needs to send the lush a bottle of Grants and get him on the sauce again,though I’m pretty sure he’s off the wagon…he’s talks like he’s been on the piss.

They’re not going to “end the case” as the evidence has been heard and the hearing concluded. There will need to be an outcome published.

We are either fully cleared or are found to have breached some rules.

It’s currently 250 to 1 we get FULL exoneration,the cunts will make something stick…GUARANTEED.
Even if it’s not something serious,expect full MSM City GUILTY of 115 breach….you KNOW it’s coming people.
