PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[bobbyowenquiff]

So the Chelsea player payments are more than 100 times larger over a much longer period than those City are accused of making to Mancini and Ya Ya.

But they admitted it so everything is perfectly acceptable.
By the way I’ve killed a man.

Carnt work out the difference in terms of amounts allegedly fiddled vs proven not sure of the time period involved. However it’s surely worse to affectively bribe a player to come to you vs allegedly fiddle your books to allow you possibly to pay more to players to possible come to you but to have those amounts declared it’s a much closer link money to player = trophies vs sponsors money club some maybe to player = trophies

The sporting advantage is greater with Chelsea vs what city are alleged. Yet no sporting sanction yet we are apparently getting relegated.

I think this shows nothing is happening to us and If anything does all hell will break loose on ourside

Only according to Twitter rags and any articles Football 365 post when they're desperate for clicks.

No-one with two brain cells to rub together seriously thinks, even in worse-case scenario, we're getting relegated or even enough of a points deduction to effectively be relegated.

 

[Chippy_boy]

Any more performances like Forest, Madrid and West Ham and we won’t need a points deduction to help us towards a relegation scrap.

You've forgotten us making United look like prime Barca at the swamp in Jan. I swear to god if they were half decent at finishing they should have scored literally 8 that day. It was a 10-year+ low point for us. The worst performance in a derby I can remember since we were relying on John Macken as lone striker.

So US owned clubs are the good guys for the PL/FA hierarchy, despite being paid-up members of a fucking cartel designed to arrange everything favourable for the members of the elect clan ?

And as the US are clearly demonstrating their "expertise" in deciding the best options for other nations of the world, giving them licence to control English football is not worth even a second glance !

Pretty Much.............Yes

Whenever I get a temporary unavailable when coming to BM I get a mild panic attack that this happening

From the Sky article

UEFA's five-year statute of limitations means they could only investigate breaches going back to 2017/18. Premier League does not have a statute of limitations.

If only there was a FAQs thread

So basically Chelsea admitted cheating on an industrial scale and have been told not to be naughty again, no trial by media, no decade long smear campaign. City on the other hand have vehemently denied a number of misdemeanours yet have had a multi year smear campaign, called cheating bastards by all and sundry (hate crime?) and are still awaiting a judgement.

Edit, and City have already been cleared of basically the same set of allegations by CAS almost six years ago.

It’s actually not as simple as admitting guilt because in a sort of roundabout way that’s not what we did.

What BlueCo did was effectively self report but without being able to interview everyone including RA then it isn’t quite as straightforward.

It’s worth reading the sanctions agreement because whoever scripted it went out of their way to big up the efforts made by the new owners to facilitate matters even to the point where they say the club , to its detriment went out of its way to suggest what had happened when a matter wasn’t proven on the paperwork alone.

Personally I think the new owners have played a blinder and if the FA case is concluded on a similar basis then we will have got off very lightly

I have read it. I don't see the point of your post as I was discussing the liability of split cases like ours will be

Have you told Mama?

Just pointing out Sky’s comment. I’m unsure if the Sky Sports journalist would have consulted it though.

But we can be fairly sure that any "journalist" on Sky Sports is speaking out of their anus.

You were also saying that Chelsea had admitted guilt which as I
Pointed out it wasn’t quite a simple as that.

 

[manimanc]

This is fantastic for us.
We will be getting the all clear anytime soon.
Absolutely nailed on.

If Chelsea have got away with just a slap on the wrist and a small fine then we should be getting a ticker tape parade.

Bring it on

There's this from the Athletic: "The agreement outlines that between 2011 and 2018, Chelsea paid more than £23m to seven unregistered agents “or entities associated with them” in connection with the transfer and registration of seven players: Eden Hazard, Ramires, David Luiz, Andre Schurrle, Nemanja Matic, Willian and Samuel Eto’o. A total of £47,524,925.74 was paid to 12 individuals or corporate entities, “each of which implicated one or more of the rules” during that time."

We were ready to sign Hazard when his team asked for an additional payment that we weren't prepared to make, so we ended the process. Same for Isco.

If we were such a bunch of cheats and shysters, then surely we'd have made that payment without batting an eyelid?

They are far from the good guys and as a collective they are incredibly dangerous but as I said in this matter they seemed to have played a blinder.

 

[Asa's left peg]

I can think of 3 players who were nailed on to come to us who at thr last minute suddenly signed for them. Juniniho, Hazard and, more recently, Cucurella.
Cucurella recently said the move was hijacked and Bohly said they only moved for him because we were about to sign him. Maybe it's still going on.

 

[Coatigan]

Wow, just wow.








We went a whole day without a comment on this thread ;)

The panel are waiting to see if we can make it to 10, before deciding when to issue the verdict.

We may have won the 12/13 title if we got Hazard. Who knows.

 

[Coatigan]

Chelsea charged 10m for an admitted 74 breaches?

Pfft. We got more than that for not cooperating while innocent!
