City fined by PL for kick-off time rule breaches

[pottsy]

Maybe City can agree to turning up 16 times out of 19 like the fans have been forced to.

 

[jrb]

Of course it will, its a £1M fine what do you expect ?

It's actually £1,080,000. :-)

I'm waiting for Trump to mention it on truthsocial.com

He hasn't yet.

 

[the-ecstacy-of-eight]

Plenty just bring it up on Google.

Really?

I've been searching "Premier League fines for delaying kick off" and the first 20 pages all start with "Manchester City fined..." and either relate to this years (£1m) or last years (£2m) fines.

Haven't found a single other case (yet) of any other club.

 

[jrb]

Here you go.

No other club is featured, just City.

Desperate to claw some money back it seems

 

[city2]

Is this all on Pep because he’s always passing last minute instructions to the players.

 

[Tracking back]

I suppose that's one way of recouping some of the legal fees they've waited trying to bring us down.

Why would any other club be featured in a sanction agreement between the PL and City?

Good.

This is the only time I’m on the PL side.

Half times do my head in.

Yeah, we’d be better off with American style 4 quarters with ads.

 

[One Fan Clapping]

Feral fans smash up opposition coach. €20,000 fine.

Move on.

 

[blueste41]

Do other teams not come out late after half time?

Certainly not when they play us, I lost count the amount of times last season I was looking at the opposition and the referees stood waiting and I turned to the wife and said "we're going to get fined at the end of the season again".

 

[Jezza11]

Were man city we’ll play when we want.

 

[mcfcphil]

Yeah, we’d be better off with American style 4 quarters with ads.

Don’t even think it

 

[blueste41]

Stupid by city to continually do this but if its such an issue why weren't they warned on each occasion rather than letting it pile up.
Can someone just remind me what the rags got fined for getting a game postponed V Liverpool

We were effectively warned at the end of last season when we received a fine, just how stupid are people at our club that they also need a warning during each game?
Besides I'm sure it was noted in the referees notes that the club get a copy of.

 

[Stockton Heath Blue]

Can you link the stories about other clubs being fined for delayed starts?

And that’s the point. It’s a negative, so let’s make it about City.
Fucking stupid given there is a bell to signify we need to be back out on the pitch

 

[KS55]

Don’t even think it

It will come.

 

[blueste41]

there's loads. nearly every team gets fined for this. here's one example

"Loads" you have come up with one club that were late twice in one season 4 years ago!? we were late:-
2024/25 - 9 times
2023/24 - 22 times
2022/23 - 8 times

 

[Xhavenjoe]

The story has made the main headline page on BBC News, just below the Israel and Iran war.

Massive!

Because its the third year in a row we've been fined.
Just can't understand why we feed ammunition to the tabloids and other media.

The sheikh has just had his settee delivered to pl headquarters he said he can’t be arsed looking but if they dig down the back they’d be enough to cover the costs and to get themselves a mc’donalds for lunch with the leftovers

 

[oakiecokie]

Why are the officials who ref the game allowing it to keep happening maybe they should get fined to .

It will be in their report.
