PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[Churchlawtonblue]

Anyone faced with rag cretins like this, just remind them they're under investigation by HMRC over image rights payments to players.

The allegation is that they've overpaid these, which reduced their corporate tax & NI liabilities as the players themselves are personally liable to these. Im told that HMRC are claiming a sum of somewhere in the region of £100m from them over these payments.

If HMRC are right, then that means their expenses in the accounts will have been understated. I wonder if the PL will open an investigation, in the same way they're investigating our image rights payments via Fordham? Because they'll have done pretty well what we're accused of, which is presenting inaccurate accounts.

Wow.

No one is legally forced to subscribe to the BBC.

Not legally but effectively.

He never mentioned anything of the sort. For all his silly opinions on City the man isnt a racist and silly to go down that route.

He , like most rags, just struggles with citys dominance so spouts crap.

But stupid to go down the road of saying what you said

I never suggested he was a racist, so don’t put words in my mouth thanks

They need 115 pints of COPIUM badly over there..

Reminding people they need to tell the truth is 'legal purgatory'?

The Law could not be clearer....

The requirement to hold a TV Licence and to pay a fee for it is mandated by law under the Communications Act 2003 and the Communications (Television Licensing) Regulations 2004 (as amended)

Even if you don’t access bbc output? I’m not sure that you need to have one in that case.
In fact you don’t need one to listen to any or all bbc radio / bbc sounds output.
Edit. Nor their online output.

Wow.

Several clubs were surcharged by the taxman for image rights issues. None were charged as yet by the PL.

 

[Bozo]

Weird of Goldbridge to lie about having a letter.
Can`t help to think of a theory probably based on wishful thinking. Would have been funny if someone actually sent him a fake letter from the club that made him nervous.

Like everything he does, it's for attention. And it works, unfortunately.

The law is not about bbc output. ANY Terrestrial TV stations are covered .

Just looked on Google earlier and I thought it said I didn’t need a licence fee to listen to bbc sounds. Are we agreed on that?
So if I only watch Sky channels and listen to bbc radio, I don’t need a licence (?)

Mods, is it possible we can fuck right off (ban from posting) any member that doesn't post anything of relevance to the actual thread subject, cos it's now starting to do my fuckin head in, cheers in advance.

There is a 115 fact sheet sticky on the forum.

I would say that's a no.

Hmm, I think that’s via Freeview not dish perhaps, but cheers for posting - you could be right

My original point tbh, was that it’s not true to say you must have a tv licence by law, period, and I’ll stick by that.

Edit. Yep, so you’re right if it’s live tv - but box sets, Netflix, Amazon, Disney, Sky Atlantic etc and on demand it’s not needed - plenty of students and others using that loophole. So basically it’s not against the law not to have one. Which we all knew anyway. In fact can’t believe I’ve been drawn into this!

PS. He needs some new PJ’s.

Do people actually watch this?

Sub-question, do they need a licence.

Weird isn't it? It must be an age thing I guess.

Fuckin hell id have lost him after 6 words.

If someone is fat, dumb, ugly, and smells like rotten eggs they'll flock to the guy who is telling them it's all Brad Pitt or Albert Einstein's fault. He's their "mirror, mirror on the wall". Comical and pathetic at the same time...
