PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

Your explanation in the podcast is EXACTLY what fans have been crying out for. It brilliantly simplifies a complex matter so the average fan can better understand what's happening to us, so it settles the minds of the worried & gives armour & ammunition to our Sky Blue Warriors who're willing to go to war in City's defence.

I've added a couple of points according to my understanding like the monitoring period being shifted back 12 month, which I'm pretty certain is what UEFA did to us in between the submission of our interim accounts in March 2013 & the certified accounts 4 weeks later.

May I just thank you on behalf of Bluemoon, because you've really helped sort the wheat from the chaff. I just hope my interpretation of your expert assessment on the podcast has done it justice.

Cheers dude. You're our Superstar! :-)
I'm very touched. As Delaney keeps reminding me.
 
Auditors though are entitled to see everything a company has and if they ask for something and do not get satisfaction that creates a big problem.

Of course, the auditors cannot see off the books transactions (should they exist) but nor can the EPL.
When we're audited, we give the auditor's full access to the accounts & supply anything they request from the folio.

They don't look through every transaction, receipt, invoice & purchase order. Essentially they rely on the accuracy of what we give them to do their job.

We sign to say the info is accurate & they sign to say they're satisfied to certify our accounts according to the info supplied.

At no point have BDO said "City refused us access to A B or C" or "We had serious concerns over X Y or Z, which City failed to explain/supply additional info for, so we've made an advisory note or not certified the accounts".

What this is all about is the difference between UK Law & PL rules. UK Law trumps it every time. This is a Pandora's Box the PL may wish they never opened.

The IFR is the PL's worst nightmare coming true. If they weren't self serving bent bastards, they wouldn't be so vehemently against it. \0/

Have we even received the PL's evidence yet?

Not sure mate. It’s all very cloak and dagger stuff.

Would we have made a statement that we can refute the charges if they hadn't?
There is no need for City to say another word until the PL release their statement as to the outcome of the case. City refuted the charges and expressed disappointment, as the investigation is confidential you can be assured City will not comment, the PL said they wouldn’t make any further comment in their statement about the investigation being launched. I’m confident that there hasn’t, nor will be any significant leaks. So when a guy who sits behind someone at the Emirates, who is high up in some business in London claiming City are going to get hammered then, it’s just bullshit.
