The PL are investigating Mancini's perfectly legal contract from 2008....four years before FFP was introduced. It was independently signed off by audits of our accounts multiple times, agreed with the UK tax office, and UEFA were happy with it. Going back into our perfectly legal accounts from 15 years ago looks pretty retrospective (and vindictive) to me.Really?
That's not what the orchestrators of FFP did to city. They moved the goal posts in their sham rules every time we thought we were compliant. Then, the premiere league followed up with their joke rules that were retrospective if I recall correctly, and were not time barred. But I digress, I'll wait on the 130 verdict first.
Bit aren't some of 115 charges. Sure I read City have been charged for allegedly breaking rules that did exist at the time
Only the interest (or lack of interest) is taken into account for PSR.Might be a dumb question, but say when Forest knew they were going to fail PSR, why didnt their owner just give themselves an owner interest free loan to make up the difference?
They refuse to accept the facts because it’s us, that’s all there is to it.To me it reeks more of stupidity. Either they don’t understand the tribunal’s words or think they can get away with ignoring them.
Yes, we may be found to have broken some rules, but minor ones only which did not confer a sporting advantage, eg Mancini contract. If we are cleared on the sponsorships, we will be ok.Bit aren't some of 115 charges. Sure I read City have been charged for allegedly breaking rules that did exist at the time
Like most of us at the time, they probably didn't expect it to incur a points deductionMight be a dumb question, but say when Forest knew they were going to fail PSR, why didnt their owner just give themselves an owner interest free loan to make up the difference?
They are in the main ATP judgement documents. It was part of the evidence. There is a link somewhere from the PL website with their initial press release.which Newcastle ones? Have you a link please?
Far better a country that elects fcukwits and psychopaths to lead them, that beats the shit out of black crime suspects, that sponsors genocide and shoots schoolkids as a national pastime. Speaking hypothetically of course.In fact, quite the opposite - there are whole swathes of rival football supporters and media types who previously couldn't even have pointed to the UAE on the map who are suddenly experts and extremely concerned about human rights in the region.
Unlawfully they weren’t against the rules*Those loans were not against the rules then.
Bit like saying if you were born in America during slavery you knew what you were signing up for and had no right to question whether it was right to keep people as slaves
