PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

The longer this goes on the more confident we should feel , if this was cut and dried it would have been over years ago , the Premier league are now scrabbling around desperately trying to find a morsel of evidence that could justify their massive multi million pound outlay on legal fees
Masters and his cohorts are just trying to save face , they are f*cked and Masters is going to get his P45 , but invariably the damage has been done , the red'istree clubs wanted to diminish our achievements at any cost because they have failed miserably on the pitch to beat us for fifteen years and we may have lost the best manager in the history of football but we will be not be going away , we are not a one man club.
 
We really needed that FAQ from @Chris in London to be pinned and updated each time a new issue was introduced or discussed further. Just to stop the same issues being re-discussed over and over again. Over the last three years, I think every possible scenario will have been considered.

Not sure why it was unpinned really ....
I agree. Can it be pinned again?

Just after getting ~£1,000,000 in performance bonuses
 
I'm not quite following this - are you saying that the value of our sponsorships is only known by the PL board if they're not deemed to be RPT's, but would be divulged to the other clubs if they are deemed to be RPT's?
Basically yes. They're deemed to be APTs, so have to be agreed (or not) by the PL. But if they're RPTs then we have to declare them as such in our published accounts, and probably the values as well.

So, if they're APT's, we don't have to declare them in our published accounts? Apologies if this is basic stuff that I'm just not getting, but I can't see why one needs to be declared, but the other doesn't. Both would be used in any FFP/PSR calculation (even if one might be modified to FMV) so why does one not need to be declared in our accounts, but the other does?
Confused? Yes I am :-)
 
Kangaroo court - Arsenal the main complainer - their headed paper. Yet the Prem allowed the so-called Independent Panel to be chosen by an Arsenal club member and season ticket holder. Colossal mistake. Just my opinion here, but I believe that David Pannick would not risk his world class reputation if he thought there was evidence of wrongdoing. If he found evidence of wrongdoing he would have plea bargained years ago relative to the scale of things and explained that to the club beforehand, but that hasn't happened. We demolished UEFA at CAS when they tried to screw us over with stolen, tampered with and out-of-date so-called evidence. We were happy to take the fine for non-cooperation - why cooperate with a bent organisation trying to screw us over........??????

I don't trust the panel to treat us fairly with the red cartel pushing them/the Prem to get rid of us so although I believe we are innocent of wrongdoing I expect the Prem/the panel to try and screw us over with the result that we see them in court - more years of waiting. My second thought is that the panel are telling the Prem there's nothing of substance that can be held against us in the evidence but the Prem are begging us in reverse to accept some form of sanction that causes minimum damage to all. We should not accept responsibility for things we haven't done. The Prem therefore says nothing because they believe the longer they keep this dark cloud created by them in place it'll continue to harm us.

Getting paid. Will probably be the only thing pannick gives a fuck about
 
I think the verdict was announced privately to both parties ages ago.
Our 'punishment' was Arsenal being blatantly 'given the title' by our accusers.
Crazy thinking I know, but they made it so obvious that Arsenal were having the title this year at our expense I can see no other explanation for this.
The only thing is they were so hellbent on giving Arsenal the title, all the other clubs saw this too, hence the snubs in congratulating them.
If not this then it's just corrupt to fuck and the verdict wait just goes on and on.
Just thought I'd dip my toe in as I'm bored to fuck with the wait

The panel was picked by Rosen, he isn't the chair. And I hate to burst your bubble but Lord Pannick is also an Arsenal season ticket holder.

Should be in Classic Threads really.

Just sayin’…
