PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[Grassland Blue]

Assuming we win and are awarded costs, it would be good to see the PLs costs distributed according to earnings, and not split evenly.

Maybe that is part of the delay (no idea) but the apportioning of costs could be a factor.
The number of teams which have been in the premier league since Citys' charges began must be about 40.
How do you sort out who pays what? And then there are clubs who have already been fined who may be/ may have been borderline ffp failures. (eg the rags).
Then what about recently promoted clubs who were never in the P/L when Citys' charges were instigated, surely they should be exempt?
So many variables.

Mentions Levy as we already know having full intentions to cause as much possible shit for City if the decision went against us.

It also mentions -
The journalist explained that the delay in getting a verdict has caused a split among the Premier League clubs, with some clubs wanting to shelve the case since it damages the competition’s brand, while others are pressing for a proper conclusion.

The exits of Levy and Lewis have apparently ‘tempered anxiety’, ‘diluted tension’ and ‘taken some of the heat out of the situation’.

Quotes Miguel Delaney though, so probably bollocks from that fúckwit.

Miguel Delooney is not a fuckwit……he’s a bona fide ****

The two are not mutually exclusive. He can be both

You know how time zones work, right?

I'm sure we could all guess those clubs

Well City are one of them

I may be wrong but all it would do is reduce the payouts going forward, it would be an absolute shit show any other way.

Just get the teams who signed the letter to pay.

I think it's fair to say that the PL votes would not have gone through if deals had not been made with those middle clubs.

City of course were arguing fairness but the PL gave some of their cash in return for votes.

Is it likely that there is a contingency fund at the PL which is a cut of the income before distribution?
It seems crazy to have an organisation of that size without one.

 

[Judge Roughneck]

No? Nothing? Reetho.....same time next zzzzzzzz...

 

[Roachy]

So we get through this break with no news, when's the next guess for a new date?

 

[hoppy]

On your marks get set go.

A quote from page one of the thread.

What naive innocents we were back then, A modern day Rip van Winkle could have taken a nap on the 6th of February 2023 and if he woke up today, we could pat him lightly on the shoulder and say 'no mate, still no news, you just go back to sleep and we'll give you a nudge when anything happens'.

Are we there yet ?

I'm fairly sure that I've seen that there is one (from on here), any money left over is distributed amongst the clubs but given how long this has been going on, if we get some of our fees paid by the PL then there won't be any left over for awhile.

Expect it to be reported that the verdict is "imminent" around two weeks before the next international break.

Actually wouldn't surprise me, total joke this delay.

 

[eastlandsblue]

Interesting if true. We all speculated that levy and Lewis departures had some relation to 115 but again shut down as conspiracy nut jobs. It does make you ponder what is going on behind the scenes…

Legally the result should have been out, something is holding this up.

We seem to have cut 2 heads off the snake.

Let’s not forget Ratcliffe after claiming City had done nothing wrong, sacked United CEO Richard Arnold

 

[bobbyowenquiff]

Interesting if only to confirm, apparently, that Levy really wanted us punished and strict PSR rules kept.

Then he suddenly left PL football.

It seems plausible that there would be a rift among PL clubs. The old FFP regs have been totally discredited and a lot of clubs face paying a huge legal bill. Some of them must be getting nervous.

The toxic media briefings from the Rags against City stopped as soon as Ratcliffe came in. My gut feeling is that he wants to attract Middle East money for the circus tent project. Anti-Arab sentiment is not a good way to do that.
