PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[Jack Hackett]

First off, I’ve always made it clear in all my posts whilst being on this forum that I’ve never supported FFP because it doesn’t allow clubs to break into the top 6 cartel. Why say shouldn’t a Newcastle invest to challenge! For me the PL should have greater competition so that say any of 12 clubs could win the PL.

I have not read the Times article nor seen Piers Morgan and I’ve no idea how valid the charges are against City or what evidence there is to support them.

The point I want to make is that it seems inevitable to me that legislation will at some stage be passed to create an independent regulator, something always resisted by the FA because they’ve always wanted understandably to retain self regulation.

Whether that’s a good thing or not, I don’t know but I do think the privileged position the FA and PL will come to an end. Wouldn’t it be ironic if the charges levelled by the PL against City results in their loss of self regulation?

I’m the shadowy figure from The UAE who gave city 30 million.

And isn't it ironic that we are in favour of regulation and your club opposed it

I wasn’t aware of that but maybe it’s not surprising that Arsenal would back the FA and PL in keeping self regulation and probably not surprising that City would prefer an independent regulator given I imagine relations with the PL are probably not that cordial at the moment. But that’s me speculating.

The ironic thing is that big, bad, dodgy, cheating, Sportswashing, Abu Dhabi FC are the only top club that wants independent regulation. It’s almost like we don’t trust the PL and more importantly those other clubs pulling the strings for their own self-interest.

I gave Arsenal £15mill so they could put a third and winning bid in for Rice.

That aside, I fucking hate football journalists. They have made a living out of lying, being two faced bastards, and have shame whatsoever.

One PL club in favour. Can you guess which one?

I’m inclined to agree with that

Unfortunately, that is not case. The burden of proof on this could well be on City (I think the difference comes if the accusation becomes fraud which it could well be). It is not always the accuser who has to prove guilt.

With respect, I'm not sure that's accurate. (Sure you're about to put me in my place now!!)

It’s already been stated that City is alone in that respect
