PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

Chris in London said:
The purpose of the contract was probably to ensure that RM didn't take a job elsewhere in the meantime.

That however is irrelevant. If the agreed services were rendered by RM and paid for by Al Jazeerah, that's an end of it.

They didn't even have to be supplied by RM personally, but by his company. That's who the contract was with.

The first 2 payments were paid from a MCFC account "MCFC Stadium Oper..." to "Roberto Mancini Sparklegrow" via an Italian bank. See pDF pages 19 and 22.

Sorry if I appear dumb on this - you may know a lot more than me on this topic which is very likely as it’s the first time I’ve seen the docs you posted.

You point to payments detailed on pages 19 and 22. The docs on these pages are dated Spring 2011 which is prior to the introduction of FFP which became effective from season 11/12 (and of course pre dates the the Prem version).

It also seems that tax was paid in rounded up sums in which case the burden for reporting and settling said tax would lie with the recipient (I think).

Personally can’t see what the big ya hoo is about this aspect of the charges and…. even if we did something which stretched the rules the sums involved are paltry and fairly immaterial against the overall club turnover. Even if found ‘guilty’ these lines on the 115 charge sheet shouldn’t lead a substantial penalty…. which of course we were given when we took the massive ‘pinch.’
 
Let's face it these charges where only brought about by pressure from the Rags , Goons & Dippers , they can't beat us on the pitch so they are doing everything possible to stop us in our tracks , the Premier league couldnt wait to announce their disciplinary action to the media to placate the red 'istree clubs.
Richard Masters and the other whippng boys at the Premier league must be in turmoil now because they actually have to gather some hard evidence that will stand up in any hearing , they were quick enough to announce the charges but appear to be dragging their feet producing any evidence.Maybe they have bitten off more than they can chew ,they have chosen the wrong club to mess with Khaldoon & Soriano are not going to stand by and let over a decade of graft and investment to go down the drain , we wil have the best legal minds in the business fighting our corner and i would be very surprised if we take a "pinch" this time.
 
Bring up the Mancini contract is like arguing over a £1 when buying a ferrari. Doesn't matter really does it. It doesn't effect to true and fair reflection of our accounts at all

Weren’t the club posting record breaking losses around that one of £150 million in 2012? Mancini being paid by the club or elsewhere was hardly going to make a dent in that deficit. It’s a red herring that issue and will be one of the first things to fall by the wayside when this gets to a hearing.
 
This thread is turning to shit and boredom. It seems a few of the more legal minded posters are leaving it alone for the moment as it's becoming a fucking merry go round with the same questions over and over and over........... zzzzzzzz.

Let's just see who sticks their head above the parapet first and we'll go from there..... ....................................................and sleep!
