City & FFP | 2020/21 Accounts released | Revenues of £569.8m, £2.4m profit (p 2395)

FfS. Sky just explained related party by quoting Etihad deal with City. And then went on about an ongoing apremier League investigation into it when no one actually knows the nature of it. How do they get away with such bollocks?

The media has no interest in accuracy or even facts, they simply want to sell their wares.

Football allows them to literally side with their largest customer base to feed what they want to hear.
 
I imagine they’ll appoint someone on a short term basis who they think can keep them up and then appoint a bigger name in the summer assuming they stay up. Someone like fat Sam although he proved a bad bet for West Brom and Newcastle aren’t that much better than West Brom, but only 8 games played and a winter transfer window to come
My money would be on them signing Isco.

Whoever they go for, we should outbid them just for a laugh.
 
Does that mean all cartels are not necessarily illegal or that a group has to be careful it does not become a cartel?
A group of organisations become a cartel when they act illegally together, for example if they meet to set prices between themselves, or to set industry rules that prevent a competitor from entering the market.
 
If it's anything like FFP this potential PL ruling will end up screwing over the other clubs outside of the old top 4 more than City and Newcastle in the long run.

Presumably if the last phrase was a cartel case for City they chose to ignore it rather than legally query UEFAs right to write and amend FFP rules that are still a barrier to entry for others?

Not a legal person but do cartel offences have to be brought by the offended company or is it something that can bring direct action by police or other public bodies?
 
Disagree. They’re maybe a year behind where we were when the great Thaksin sold up. Assuming they stay up they’ll be pushing for the top 4 by 24/25 at the latest. I don’t buy the London theory, Manchester’s pretty similar to Newcastle,the same northern city it always was just with a few more twats living in town now. A Louis Vuitton doesn’t really change things much yet we’ve attracted the world’s best players and kept them here.

Top players want $$$ and a working environment conducive to success, if Newcastle provide that then money, as it always has in the past, will talk and they’ll be successful
Newcastle's a lot smaller than Manchester, although still a great city to live in my personal opinion - not sure whether that translates to a footballer with cash burning a hole in their pockets though.
