PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[Ban-jani]

At this rate we'll be the only premier league team not punished for not meeting profitability and sustainability rules. How embarrassing for some.

The Rags failed it by a country mile but got it waived by the Premier League.

Quite a sleight of hand arranged under the US owners contract with the PL, under their "nothing to see" clause of their membership.

I mean the PL investigation that should follow

They haven't breached the PL rules though

Every UEFA breach should result in a PL investigation and if they’re looking at heavy punishment, it’ll mean a PL breach.

Aston Villa 'facing heavy punishment' for rule breach as UEFA take action

Aston Villa may be thriving in the Europa League this season, but that hasn't prevented the club from finding themselves in hot water over UEFA's strict financial rules

Anyone would think there was a chance the scum and dippers might lose out on a CL spot.

You have the so called best league in the world so its said.
Yet this league is hell bent on stopping competition.
Doesn't want new owners spending money making it possible for a higher standard league.
The league wants a status quo, an American type league.

The best league in the world wouldn't be scared of new investment and challenges from its members.

It would make it exciting instead its all about money being taken out by the American cartel.

To me its ridiculous that a club can fail Uefa ffp put pass the pl ffp. To me its mad that one club can get millions more covid leeway.
But the clubs run the league surly they could have stopped rags from getting favored treatment ?

Perfectly put

How do we know that ? Has there been a 4 year investigation into the rags dealings ?

When you say 'should', I take it that's your opinion, as I don't believe the rules say that?

We're talking about Villa

No, it’s in the rules, I said “should” because when the Rags broke UEFA’s ffpr, they weren’t investigated by the PL. when they broke the PL’s PSR later, they got a waiver.

Your long point may explain why some of the more malicious media parasites continue to describe City as “state owned” when there is irrefutable proof that it is not true. Perhaps the PL are still briefing it out because they know that if the “state owned” trope collapses then so does the main element of their case.

Will they say City is really state owned & Mansour is just a figurehead but the state owned airline didn’t have enough money so they got Mansour to fund it even though he doesn’t give a fuck about City….. what with it being state owned & nothing to do with him & all that.

When is see this “Appears” tells me they are guessing unless you have hard evidence!?

The Premier League only needs to show that it is more likely than not that Aabar should have been classified as a related party under IAS 24 and was not. Unfortunately, there is material in the public domain that supports that conclusion. As I see it, this is a potential win for the Premier League, but as others have said before, it would amount to a relatively minor breach.

No they don’t

And what chance of anything untoward being reported ?

Protected species protection racket.

Don't the PL rules include something along the lines that we have to abide by UEFA rules in good faith and all of that bollocks?

 

[WRicko]

So assuming the soft signals are indeed soft signals be they signings or new sponsors but let’s talk about sponsors for now given the new deals.

What can we have told the other parties ? Be they agents or sponsors ?

Why has nothing leaked ?

Surely they would require more than confidence and explanations.

It’s got me wondering if the only way it could happen is if have proven the PL have done something wrong in brining the charges be it something like the letters to CAS or being reliant on related party arguments when we know Etihad was deemed fair value and not related and others not related party by normal accounting practice as well.

That's it really, that's my contribution to today's riveting thread. :-)

That could be the crucial element. I'm guessing it was named after Moscow and that's where home fans were allowed in to a game played behind closed doors, with many Blues out of pocket as the order was made well after flights and accommodation had been booked.
All things are linked.
