Well they’re hardly an unknown entity in the sports world. They’ve worked with NFL and college teams before and they already had a partnership with Chelsea, though kind of minor.
 


We’ll see. I’ve certainly never heard of them but through the reporting it was mentioned that they’ve worked with NFL and college football teams before. If what that City fan is saying is true, then yeah something doesn’t add up.
 
But the thing is we don’t know what the actual breaches were. If the PL produces a report based on their investigation that details the specific breaches then we have that discussion but until then we have no idea what the breaches were or how many breaches there were. It was clearly enough for the new ownership to notice it and report it and for UEFA to impose a fine. Let’s see what the PL say. This isn’t something Chelsea are being uncooperative about, in fact the PL are only investigating this because Chelsea highlighted it for them.
Your last sentence sums up the Premier League to a T.

You had to highlight to the Premier League what you had done yet they are charging you supposedly.
Add together the 115 charges the Premier League threw at us without even checking what they was for ( length of grass...playing at 3pm on a Saturday...etc) and I'm beginning to think both us and you might get away with this.

The more stuff like this surfaces the more I picture the Premier League as some scared little kid who has just been handed a loaded gun but doesn't know how to fire it.

It's an embarrassing situation that the supposed best League in the world find themselves in.


I have no doubt the start of all this has something to do with teams who play in red who have got together and put heat on the coward who is head of the Premier League.

I’d say you can probably take @projectriver / Slbsn (on Twitter) ‘s take on anything football finance related as correct. another one of our fans @Prestwich_Blue should also be taken as pretty much correct - though they had a nuanced disagreement on the minutiae of the UEFA ffp stitch up iirc.

It is because of those 2 and others (who generally get missed off in posts like mine, like @Pablo ZZZ Peroni and many others) that the fans on this forum are far more aware than they probably ever wanted to be about the ins and outs of real (as opposed to media bollox) football finance.

The views of these intelligent, articulate and above all, informed chaps/chapesses have been denigrated as crackpots by a particular group of mainstream media sports ‘journalists’ - despite all the evidence and facts expertly walked through on the forum for us mere mortals.

It is.. if I may be so bold… one of reasons ‘we’ of the forum react quite strongly to spurious and fictional accusations of the ‘ffp cheats’ ilk, and ditto why we cry ‘hypocrites’ to the cartel clubs fans when life seems to come full circle…
 
I mean it’s the exact same thing that was discussed a week or so ago. It was reported then that the PL would conduct their own investigation but it’s all based on the self-reporting the new ownership did after the takeover.
Absolute fucking bollocks, the due diligence would have flagged this but you spent record amounts. I think a certain Northern Club maybe feeding a bit of info to damage the hateful 8, never back a Tiger into a corner, the fight back is inevitable.
