PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules




Anybody spot the difference?
 
I mentioned CAS earlier but of course it was the Barry Bennell case.

Harris put himself forward as a ‘Football Finance Expert’ when providing evidence but the Judge ruled that he absolutely wasn't an "expert".

Someone please correct me if that's wrong.
The following is verbatim from the court ruling, in plain language its an absolute evisceration by the Judge of a charlatan attempting to present himself as an "expert witness".

"The vast majority of Mr Harris’s statement is also factual, simply identifying and summarizing the surveys which provide some information about footballers’ salaries. It makes some observations about the surveys, but most of these observations are ones which do not require specialist expertise. Rather, they are apparent on the face of the documents themselves. If and in so far as the statement sometimes strays into inappropriate expert comment, the judge will disregard such comment"

Yeah. Liverpool and United came under UEFA rulings, Everton came under PL rulings.
 
but about 8 of the charges are for not complying with UEFA FFP rules. So by that definition alone United, Liverpool, Leicester, Everton and anyone else who couldn't pass UEFA FFP should be charged as well

As I read them, they were about providing Uefa accurate information, rather than passing their ffp.

Absolutely stinks! Premier league need to enforce their own rules now and fine the scrum at least that amount.

That's not true I'm afraid.

Harris is a ****, but you've missed why the judge was commenting on Harris' expertise.

City were claiming he was an expert and that the claimants hadn't obtained the Court's leave - which is a matter of protocol and ensures City could get their own expert testimony to challenge that position. However, what the judge is saying is that he doesn't think what Harris had reported as being "expertise" so didn't particularly see an issue with it - although was happy to leave it to the ruling judge in court to determine.

Harris is a **** though.
 
Yeah. Liverpool and United came under UEFA rulings, Everton came under PL rulings.
I really don't understand why, with united's losses, they have not been deducted points like Everton. After all they are still a Premier league club and their losses are far greater than Everton's. It doesn't seem right at all.
