PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

I agree it’s not set up to find that but it has to in order to prove the chargesThe commission isn't set up to find us guilty of fraud. We only stand accused of breaking PL rules. That's the only thing commission will look at.

Because it gave owners an excuse not to put their hands in their pockets but retain control.I still dont understand why the 'lower' clubs in the pl voted for FFP. They were voting to stop themselves from ever being top dog. It's bizarre that they voted that way. They signed themselves to just being mid table with no ambition to improve.

It’s the ever present threat of the ‘traditional clubs’ taking the ball away. These so called smaller clubs are now wealthier than they could ever imagine. The only reason for that is the collective bargaining power of the PL. Now, if an imaginary cabal of, let’s say, American owners make it clear that without support for what they want, they’ll start to talk about doing splitting the pie somewhat less equitably, or doing their own tv deals or, the nuclear option of a European Super League.I still dont understand why the 'lower' clubs in the pl voted for FFP.

So, it’s either voting out of survival or, likely in Everton’s case, believing or being persuaded, that you’re part of the ‘club’ and you belong. If it’s in the interests of the red-shirts, it’s in your interest.
You have to remember that they virtually did that to form the PL in the first place (with Everton at the forefront……)

Just received from fellow blue anyone else listen to it ?
Listening to Cheesamans last night ,Forever Blue, he had a guest Mike McClean,
He said he has inside knowledge than City's barristers have a recording whereby the Premier league board members quoted " We cannot have Man City winning the league for a forth time on the trot"
He quotes the Premier League board are totally corrupt !!
anyone found this being said?

Yes, however if we are found guilty of breaking the rules they are accusing the club of systematic fraud by false accounting it amounts to the same thing, and it’s such a serious accusation that would potentially lead to criminal charges I would suspect that anyone levelling it would have enough evidence to make it stand up in a criminal court, it’s serious stuff this and I wouldn’t want to be the person to make that decision it could have catastrophic consequences for both parties in thisThe commission isn't set up to find us guilty of fraud. We only stand accused of breaking PL rules. That's the only thing commission will look at.
As an aside all this because the cartel clubs object to outside oversight, I mean they’ve nothing to hide have they?
And if we have broken one of their rules,there has to be a reason,why we have.The commission isn't set up to find us guilty of fraud. We only stand accused of breaking PL rules. That's the only thing commission will look at.
If the charges are proven in this case,it can only be through fraud.
Which ever way,you try to dress it up, the only thing they are implying is that we have falsified accounts.
The non cooperation charge is a red herring and is only there to punish us with, if all else fails .

With the average Burnley etc fan having zero idea of FFP or financial things, just a few words and the fans are right behind the club leaving the owners to make a fortune.
