Fair points you make G..I think you are making an assumption around non-compliance which I expect is wholly false, however to answer your question it’s not really a defence to anything we’re accused of. It’s like getting pulled for speeding at 80 miles an hour and telling to court that someone overtook you a couple of minutes earlier. It doesn’t mean you haven’t broken the law.
That said, if we are cleared, which I completely expect us to be, it’s a huge point to be made in public statements, not that I expect us to, lamentably.
Nah, it'd be like a "house of cards".Every single club should be investigated with the same thoroughness that we have been.
Fine by me.
If you act as a pawn for the redshirts then you deserve everything which comes your way.
He's a spineless **** driven by the jealous entitled twats , so tough shit !
That's my understanding as well and the ffp breach came about due to how clubs were allowed to factor in covid losses. I think I have read that utd are ok within the PL rules but breached uefas due to how covid losses are allowed.Tbf, there is a difference between failing FFP numbers, which is what United have been fined for, and manipulating accounts, which is what Chelsea have admitted to and City have been accused of.
And the FFP numbers rules are different for UEFA and the PL as well.
Liverpool failed FFP in 2015 n’all.Perhaps the PL will announce today that they are investigating the rags.
Surely there is no way the other clubs will just sit back and say nothing if the rags arent investigated by the PL.
Both Chelsea and the rags have been fined by UEFA for breaking FFP rules, so both must be investigated by the PL
Can of worms time me thinks :)
And 2013.Liverpool failed FFP in 2015 n’all.
Excellent post.You’d think so but the PL didn’t investigate Liverpool when they failed FFP nor did they look into the hacking allegations so it’s very much a case of one rule for one, one for another unfortunately. It’s worth remembering the charges against us largely result from a fishing expedition initiated by the PL - they appointed Bird & Bird to conduct an in-depth investigation into our club to see what they could find - that in itself tells you we have been singled out and specifically targeted. The problem for the PL is they are quickly being exposed for the amateur shit show that they are - with weak governance, interference from certain clubs, weak leadership and a complete absence of objectivity and integrity. How football has escaped an independent regulator for so long tells you a lot about the wider governance in the UK - I fear the whole pack of cards will tumble at some point and some of our worst thoughts about corruption in football will be proved true.
At least our supposedly fake sponsors actually fly.....
