PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[Maly]

Growing up involves learning to fight your corner and not fold like a sack of shit when someone says something nasty.
City didn't start this, people came into our club with good intentions and with the money to make our dreams real. They have delivered 100%. No club has been scrutinised like we have been.
I'll be getting firmly behind the club while this latest bullshit unfolds.

I like you

Not his first rodeo by the looks of things...​

​

Murray Rosen QC has been a full-time arbitrator and mediator, specialising in sports disputes since 2016. He is an arbitrator at the Court of Arbitration for Sport in Lausanne (CAS) where he has sat on more than 20 cases. He is the first Chair of the new Premier League Judicial Panel, and was formerly chair of the Table Tennis England Board of Appeal. He has sat in many ad hoc and disciplinary tribunals, usually as chairman, for the Football Association, Football League and International Tennis Federation and other associations. He has also mediated in disputes between players and clubs, associations and media bodies. Sports involved have also included rugby, tennis, pentathlon, Formula 1 and rallying, swimming, boxing and snooker.​

​

He has also been on the Sport Resolutions panel since its outset (as the Sport Disputes Resolution Panel) and helped to draft the first revision to its rules. As counsel for over 30 years he appeared in relation to a wide variety of sports, including motor sport, boxing, snooker and athletics. was the founding chairman of the Bar Sports Law Group and a chairman and director of the British Association for Sport and Law.​

​

He is a strong believer in fairness and in the power and benefits of sport and has a keen appreciation of its social, political and financial aspects. He has participated in sport all his life, is a member of the MCC and Arsenal FC, and still regularly plays real tennis and ping pong. His knowledge of the sports scene and the issues which arise, both commercial and regulatory, in relation to the governance of sport, and its competitions and events, makes him a sympathetic hands-on tribunal chairman and a successful mediator. He has recently initiated an ad hoc working party consulting and reporting on the Impact of Covid-19 on sport disputes resolution procedures, supported and published by LawinSport.​

​

This is further cause for concern. The person pushing through these charges is not some disgraced fromer Prime Minister of Belgium now on UEFA's teat, or some career football beurocrat. This guy is a genuine expert in the field he's operating in.

" is a member of the MCC and Arsenal FC," so no risk of bias.

Yes. Apprarently abiding by UEFA FFP is one of the Premeir League's rules. We've been charged for not doing that in 2013-2018, and charged for not complying with the investigation from 2018-2023.

In respect of each of Seasons 2013/14 to 2017/18 inclusive, the Premier League Rules applicable in those Seasons requiring a member club to comply with UEFA’s regulations, including UEFA’s Club Licensing and Financial Fair Play Regulations, namely:​

(a) for Season 2013/14, Premier League Rule B.14.6; and​

(b) for Seasons 2014/15 to 2017/18 inclusive, Premier League Rule B.15.6.​

Autrefois acquit.

This will all be forgot about in a few days time

To a large extent, yes. We'll get loads of taunts from opposition fans for a few weeks and then it'll drop off the horizon.

But putting the players on long contracts means they can spread the cost over however many seasons the contract is. So £80m player in an 8 year contract is £10m a season on the books.

We all know the economics but it's obviously over committing that will inevitably lead them to future creative accounting to avoid FFP failure and we are so aware the American influenced Premier League will gloss it over.

Fuck this whole charade off, and go on a huge spending spree this summer please City. But we won't and we'll comply again with ffp, just fuck it

 

[Eric Hitchmough]

Remember when Liverpool hacked our database and the Premier League refused to get involved because it was too long ago...

Any predictions for how this is all gonna pan out Tolm?

 

[Tricky_Trev]

For those saying one of the charges relates to the length of the grass, it doesn’t. The K.20 alleged breach is from 2010-2012 so you need to look at the rule book for those seasons, not the latest rule book. The ordering has changed. It relates to player image rights.

 

[The Light Was Yellow Sir]

I blame the match thread. Too many people saying we’ve got championship standard players……….

 

[Gingers Dad]

I’m backing City to smash this out of the park. It’s been corrupt for years so why wouldn’t this be.

We are being treated like we have weapons of mass destruction, if enough gang up on us the truth will be lost.

I believe our people over the others until proven.

City should then sue everyone of pseudo financial experts like Jordan and Keown who've gone early on this one
