PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[KS55]

This just gets sillier and sillier.
So if a Saudi Company is not able to sponsor Newcastle and City likewise with Abu Dhabi does this mean that the American owned teams can't have American sponsors on their books?

Oh no. That’s different. New rule 23b states “ Redshirts May spy on City and hack their IT, wreck their team coach and ARE EXEMPT FROM ALL SPONSORSHIP REGULATIONS, especially concerning terror sponsoring banks.”

As a Newcastle fan these new rules they're* trying to push through are hilarious and so fucking transparent. We've abided by FFP, we've got a stack of new 'fair market value' commercial deals, and now here's some new hurdles. The established cartel are bricking it that we'll usurp them.

We can't loan a player from the Saudi league, but literally every other club in the league can? That seems totally fair. Will it stop Chelsea hoovering up young players from their feeder clubs, or Man Utd, or Liverpool? Course it won't.

We can't get a sponsor unless we've got similarly valued bids from other companies? Has that been the case for Man Utd's official tractor partner? Were there multiple tractor companies all offering up partnership deals for the same price? Was there shite.

We've not spent anything like the money Chelsea and Man Utd have, and yet we're still above them, still playing better football, still fielding the likes of Jamall Lascelles and Jacob fucking Murphy. This is all because they're scared their time at the top is coming to an end, they're trying to pull the drawbridge up behind them.

Wait till they form a rule about shirts resembling barcodes being illicit sponsorship of the products the code represents. Oh, if if your name contains the word ‘new’ that is a fine of 10% of turnover. Don’t forget, they have sponsored the PL to prefer 115 nonsensical charges against us. (It is actually 3 Charges repeated over and over again which boil down to “Your accounts are fixed.”) No evidence has been forthcoming.

Amid the euphoria of your takeover ( And why wouldn't you be happy? ) We did warn you this was coming. We've faced it since 2008 and continue to do so to this day.

 

[halfcenturyup]

City were asked if Etihad was a related party to which City said they weren't. I thought this wasn't an issue.

I imagine he means associated (as defined by the PL) as opposed to related (as defined by everyone else).

 

[deano ou812]

Ahh yes the old moving of goalposts or obstacles being put in certain teams path springs to mind I wonder which teams will be under More scrutiny than the rest cause we know that this is what it’s all about..

Mate your owners won't be using the drawbridge they will be helicoptering in.

We all know what they are and they won't win, I hope Newcastle start spanking the money out to be honest and I will watch with great satisfaction our title battles in the not too distant future.

[halfcenturyup]

This just gets sillier and sillier.
So if a Saudi Company is not able to sponsor Newcastle and City likewise with Abu Dhabi does this mean that the American owned teams can't have American sponsors on their books?

The answer is simple. We get a Saudi company to sponsor us for 100 million, Newcastle get an Emirati sponsor for 100 million. Job done.

Dont worry we know exactly who "they" are, if you think you are being targeted now just wait until you win something. They know exactly what they want.

Just as an aside, im interested to know, has the opinion of Newcastle fans about us changed since your takeover and now you can see some if the games the Cartel play?

 

[StillBluessinceHydeRoad]

Didn't the rags have over 20 noodle makers competing to outbid each other to official noodle sponsor (or was it sponsor of noodles?)

You lot are now waking up to the tidal wave of skullduggery and fuckwittery we've have to wade through this last decade and half from the usual suspects.
All the while being told that we are the problem.
Well, you better get a skin transplant cos its gonna have to get a lot thicker... and to think you haven't actually won anything yet. Just wait till that happens and see the pushback then.

Now you are realising the shit we have to go through.
It’s a stacked deck in favour of the ‘elite’ clubs.
They love you until you start challenging.

 

[Plays By Sense Of Smell]

I think it might be taking so long because they've got next to fuck all that will stand.
I wouldn't be surprised if they are seeing if we will "settle out of court" with a slap on the wrist type outcome.

Fuck that,we've done that dance before.

How to settle out of court here to our liking.
Complete exoneration due to investigations having found that the charges were spurious at best, and probably disingenuous.
The league can continue intact after sweeping the decks clean by sacking the mongers that initiated the whole sorry affair.
We are never proven innocent making them look bad, because there were upon closer investigation, no actual charges to answer.
