PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[GaudinoMotors]

Not at all, it was reaffirming what many had already said, it was a great speech under intense pressure under the scrutiny of the whole football world. Any Blue who was unmoved by that or wasn't impressed should consider watching chess.

Pow! A Vladimirov Thunderbolt.

Perhaps some weren't happy in the order he shook hands? Perhaps he put his hand out to Daniel Levy and pulled it back at the last moment and thumbed his nose instead?

Perhaps, he was shaking hands with the ones who have been coerced into actions that they really want no part of

I wonder if referees will now be subconsciously (or otherwise) biased against us because of all the negative publicity?

(Or should |I say "more biased than ever"?)

Man who thought £200m was a fair price for Harry Kane is upset at the rising price of transfers…

Fuckin nailed it.

Slimy c**t who overprices his own players for sale then moans at transfers fees.

Would we notice the difference ?

60 years for the rags to win 7 titles.
20 years from 1992 to win 13 titles.
That‘s 65% percent of their wins in 33% of the time.
Did something happen in 1992 which greatly benefited the rags??!?

Nah. Nothing to see here.

For the referees to be anymore bias they’ll have to start scoring for the opposition

City have become one of the most profitable clubs in the world. Even if what they did was wrong (it wasn't) isn't that a surefire sign that the rules are completely fucked up? In what world would a league institute rules that make it impossible for teams to increase their profits, build their brands and attract world-class talent to their league? Football existed for decades without these FFP rules that they instituted specifically to stop City from crashing their old-boys club. If this is what they're going to do they should be made to enforce these rules for every other team, make them all stop spending big money and drive every talented player out of the PL. Hell, bring them all to MLS and let it become the biggest league in the world. Just watch as we completely change the game once we realize there is more money to be maid. We'll have commercial breaks every 20 minutes, no relegation so teams will sandbag to maximize profits, playoffs after the schedule is played with almost every team qualifying, unlimited subs w/ re-entry and timeouts.

 

[Centurions]

Because the court ordered them to be published. Tbf, the PL wanted them kept out of the press.
(am I right here or misremembering?)

No, that's right. Both the PL and ourselves wanted it kept private and confidential but the DM took it to court and got it declared to be in the publics interest (just the fact that it was ongoing mind).

The biggest thing that winds me up in all of this is, that we're essentially being accused for having too much money and having an owner that actually cares about the club.

The notion of that is ridiculous.

We would be the first club punished for actually having owners that want to invest.

That's why these charges are dangerous and why Pep was alluding to 'be careful what you wish for' yesterday.

Didn't have all these journalists and opposition fans defending us when our previous owner nearly put us out of business though. They don't actually care about those issues, that's why Bury went under so easily, FFP did jack shit to protect them.
