Nobody knows, because it was a minor breach.If united failed ffp under eufa rules and were fined, why aren't the PL looking at that as well? Not in a sarcastic way, but genuinely why aren't they? Were their losses not enough to fail PL ffp?

Side issue: I would expect the independent regulator to ban clubs from registering offshore. Note both City and CFG are British registered companies.Once City have been proved innocent can City demand that the pl look into other clubs accounts like in the Carmen Islands ?
You forget our owners are Arabs who, as everyone knows, are born cheats. See the Connman.The media seems to be on full on rage porn for what the sanctions should be in relegation and titles stripped etc. They don’t seem to informing the great unwashed who read their articles that the Premier League have got a huge task to actually land the allegations against City. The time scales of nearly a decade of charges against us then the allegation that our owners, directors, management conspired with the likes of Etihad, Etisalat, Nike, Nexen Tire, Nissan, Silverlake, The Chinese Government, Delloite, Micheal Page Recruitment, Jaguar, Wix and whoever else were stake holders, sponsors or auditors during the time were all in on it and conspiring to cook the books. If they land it will be the biggest scandle in British Company in history it’s a big stretch to get there though.
Harris’s Twitter goons are now trying to doxx people I see. Lovely.
You get the feeling that some of them are still stuck on ‘the sheik will get bored and walk away’ idea, and if they accuse him and his club of all sorts of dodgy things (well, you know what these foreign types are like)then that will speed his departure and all their problems will simply go away with him.The point about coercion is key here. It was clear from the UEFA charges that certain clubs were stirring the pot. You could see the relationships at work in how leaks were disseminated to favoured journalists and how the mainstream media was used. Pep’s comments about Levy and others at his Presser and Khaldoon’s earlier comments make it clear we know there has been “interference”.
When these shady, secretive, “off the record” discussions take place, the usual safeguards of process and advisory checks are often by-passed. “Principals” agree a course of action between them without appreciating the full breadth of consequences that may follow. You can imagine Masters being persuaded to run with the charges on the basis that it’s then passed over to the panel who will then have to sort it out. Job done - because in the meantime City’s reputation can be trashed and the PL is shown to be policing the game. I suspect they’d not fully appreciated the magnitude of the charges and have made a really big mistake. Time will tell but I think nothing will be the same again. All conjecture of course but hard to think of another explanation.
The White Paper is on the internet and I took a look this morning. The initial proposals are wide in scope. Clearly there is work to do to,initially pass the legislation into law and then create a working framework with processes and procedures. These review and refresh current practices including no doubt the current closed shop disciplinary and punishment mechanisms.Just remember, nothing about this process is impartial. We’re getting fucked in the ass regardless of evidence. This is why we need the independent regulator.
You're correct that nothing has seemingly changed in our situation, but the Everton points deduction has opened it up again. However it's the media harping on about and comparing the Everton situation to ours.Am I right in saying that the only thing that has brought this thread to life, is the Everton points deduction, and that nothing has changed with regards to the charges leveled against us?
And that no one actual knows about when any hearing is going to take place?
I understand that the Everton situation has sent some shockwaves throughout out fan base but it's been made clear the two situations are not comparable, with this in mind are we not going around in circles?
