PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

Wouldn't worry about anything written by the champagne socialist nutjob that is John Nicholson. He wrote a book a few years ago saying that Premier League footballers should only be allowed to take home a salary of £225k-a-year, giving no regard to the ensuing player exodus that would inevitably follow. In the same book, the salt-of-the-earth Middlesbrough fan admitted to spending four weeks in Las Vegas with his wife and blowing £35k. In other words, a **** and a hypocrite to boot.

Boksic was earning that in the 90s at Boro.
 
I’m sure you can do a bit of long division. Then you will find my point holds good. Furthermore, I was answering a response based on market cap, which is not about a branch.
It was a valuation of the entire club, and in your prior comment you compared the *entire club* to one branch of Tesco.

You were already dealing in apples and oranges

And if we are being pedantic, you were talking value, not market capitalisation seeing as City is a private company.
 
Just re-read the CAS award again, and found this interesting bit:

"Leaked e-mail number 1 was also sent 10 years ago and 2 years before the implementation of the CLFFPR. So, even if true, there would have been nothing wrong with channeling equity funding through sponsors."

Forgive me for rattling this cage all the time, but doesn't this support my view that, even if the allegations are found to be true, there is no accounting "fraud" as, if there was "nothing wrong" with the accounting treatment before FFP, then, in accounting terms, there is also nothing wrong with the accounting treatment after FFP? Accounting treatments don't change just because UEFA/ the PL implement some new regulations. So it's just a regulatory issue, not a fraudulent accounts issue?

I am still having trouble getting my head around this fraud/ misleading the auditors thing if I am being honest (as you can probably tell!)
Ffp and false accounting (fraud) are separate issues. You can break ffp without committing accounting fraud.
BUT, the current charges against us imply that our accounts are false, as did the UEFA charges.

No, I compared the financial weight of the club with one branch of Tesco which is apples and apples.

The Tesco's super store in Portwood, Stockport, will make a much larger profit that we do.
