PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[I'm Blue]

So Spurs used unlicenced agents to improve their on-field performance? They denied us a CL place by three points a season later? Well, well. Wouldn't it be a shame if we were to sue the bastards if found guilty?

“But the FA did nothing”
Already been investigated.

Just a couple of points:
Breaking FFP rules does not necessarily constitute fraudulent accounting.
If they took a negative view on Etisalat and Image rights I believe this could exceed Everton's £20M breach for which they received a ten point deduction.

Everton had exceeded the maximum allowable £105m loss by £20m, so nearly £125m over the 3 years. We wouldn't even show a loss, let alone go over the maximum allowable PL figure.

Spurs now under the spotlight, seems Pandora’s box has been well and truly opened …does anybody believe if Khaldoon and he Mansour thought they were fcuked they be ploughing more into the regeneration of the ground etc …, a few more going under the microscope as we speak .

What’s the Spurs one?

I believe we will ‘go nuclear’ if found guilty and we believe we’re innocent and can prove it.
It’s not beyond the realms of possibility that the premier league could fuck us over regardless of any evidence.
That goes for this ‘independent panel’ too.
Miscarriages of justice happen.
If innocent.

If we’re innocent, have the evidence to prove it, but still get screwed over .. there is absolutely no doubt we’ll go nuclear

This is a multi billion pound asset built up over 15 years. Our owners, investors and lawyers ain’t gonna stand by and accept getting stitched up by tin pot amateurs like the PL

Spurs in the shit now. What did Khaldoon say about people living in glass houses and throwing rocks? I wonder what else we have up our sleeves.......

Doubt it’s anything to do with us, though it’d be hilarious if it was.

Re Linekar and Harris.

Yes it’s the media, so let’s not get uptight and according to some the owners know what they are doing (which may be right).

Still it’s a crying shame that on this podcast there isn’t a regular who perhaps played for City and could put the City fans view to someone whose only interested in slagging us off.

Gary is often fair and one of the least bias media personalities. A certain section of our fan base does get incredibly uptight and precious over criticism. I mean on the FFP front I personally think we did bend the rules at the start but then I don’t give a shit about ffp so I’m not too arsed about the morality question. And if we get fined or relegated so be it… we’ll be back.

They are genuinely killing their own product, I await news from the thieves about a new league again.

I'd like to believe Lineker and Shearer have accidentally overlooked the past history of the guest, which is easily done considering United and Liverpool fans lap up everything he says because he says what they want him to say.

Listeners would have benefitted a lot more from having @projectriver on, somebody who understands finance and law.

A judge has already questioned Harris as an expert of those matters, so it makes so sense calling him the expert on the podcast.
