PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[HelloCity]

By that logic we shouldn’t have any pre match threads either.

I do wonder how the hell Everton only have one charge then?
Reading some of the above means..
Ffp is over 3 seasons - so why aren't they charged on 3 separate seasons like we are?
Where's the subsection charges?
They failed FFP so their behaviour towards other clubs is questionable, if ours is.
Profitability and Sustainability?
Fucking witch hunting cunts.

They didn’t.

It’s just the way the cases are ‘advertised’.

Everton probably broke dozens of rules.

I hope we are guilty as hell and I hope Sheikh Mansour uses his influence to get us off.

Then I will sit back and imagine the likes of Simon Jordan frothing at the mouth, as we pick up more trophies.

Rag.

I know, quite embarrassing that I didn't know that.

Okay thanks - do you remember what it was? Or @Prestwich_Blue can you remind me?

If I recall correctly, they fell into the five categories below, but Colin explained how each one related to City specifically in a way that was very easy to understand & relate to.

Another was to do with related companies. There's a ruling that clubs have to show three proposals to prove the sponsorship secured fair market value, but @Prestwich_Blue should be able to confirm it.

The rest were all about not being fair & showing respect to other PL clubs etc...

Only playing with you mate.

You’re a veteran on here, anyone worth their salt knows that.

"To argue ad adsurdum the FA/EPL could not pronounce a death sentence on any perceived miscreant..."

If they could get away with it they would eg Rule A1a in the PL handbook 2025, with one conditional clause...

"only if the miscreant is a supporter, employee, officer, player, sponsor, balboy, ballgirl, owner of MCFC"....

This wouldn't surprise me one jot mate...

It makes you wonder why the PL have never asked Mancini in for a chat, doesn't it?

They did , Bobby told them to f*ck off :)

A breath of fresh air.

The Telegraph reporting that the bid by the Barclay family to regain control of the paper is likely to succeed. They are being loaned 1.2 billion by an investment company in which Sheikh Mansour is the main investor.

Positive coverage incoming.
