PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

All very quiet atm. The premier is probably trying to figure out how to get out of the hole dug by the greedy red teams whilst saving face.

City is in the tent. Just get used to it. The league’s commercial appeal needs us maybe not as much as the fawning over the red tops but still needed all the same.

Wrap it up in a dark room and we all move on with a few cuts and bruises.

Silence is preferable at this point.

Just seen this how are Leicester allowed to be owned and sponsored by the same company ?

Nothing wrong with that, as long as the sponsorship is fair market value. CAS decided (which UEFA had already accepted) that our Etihad sponsorship was market value. Etihad aren't our owner I should add, but it's the principle.

Leicester have just rekindled their shirt sponsorship with King Power, after FBS were their sponsors last season. There was a report that they got more money from FBS than they did from King Power.

Who decides what fair market value is ?

In an open and free market you can pay as much as you want ?

The market decides what market value is. You'd expect clubs like us & the other top clubs to be roughly in line, but you wouldn't expect the likes of Bournemouth and Burnley to have £50m a season shirt sponsorships.

For me fair value is whatever the top limit of other clubs are paying in the relative leagues. So that's £150m a year. Which is what Barcelonas contract is I think. Anything else is given Barca an unfair advantage
