PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[Claytop]

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.

There's nothing in it relating to K.20 for those years as far as i can see.

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.

I’m well aware of that, but there’s not a chance in hell they break even this year. They have costs other than amortisation don’t forget.

WRONG SPORT!

50 charges relate to financial reporting.

12 relate to other payments to players.

20 relate to payments to managers 10 years ago.

Good luck to the PL in proving it all.

Bit of a consistent gloomy **** aren't you, which club do you support again?

He’s got a Gray outlook.

Time to get the Chelsea scarf out of the back of the wardrobe.

Maybe invest in some Newcastle gear

 

[LongsightM13]

yes. along with charges of not updating meeting agendas or supplying a drug testing room

I think that might be an updated rule book tbh that doesn’t correspond to the allegations against us

Feel like this could get really ugly, without the option to go to CAS we'll probably go on the attack and highlight the breaches of other clubs at the same time.

Manchester City FC is surprised by the issuing of these alleged breaches of the Premier League Rules, particularly given the extensive engagement and vast amount of detailed materials that the EPL has been provided with.
The Club welcomes the review of this matter by an independent Commission, to impartially consider the comprehensive body of irrefutable evidence that exists in support of its position.
As such we look forward to this matter being put to rest once and for all.
