PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[meltonblue]

In reality there are only 5 charges that have been sub-divided into 115 mini charges to make it look as bad as possible and get the frothing brain dead dippers/rags/tarquins worked up. There are 30 separate mini charges for lack of co-operation alone.

It totals up to more than 115 too, I’ve no idea where that number actually came from.

Simple and plain explanation about ffp here and an interesting take on the Everton situation.

Probably the most honest opinion of a rival fan I’ve ever heard..

He did say he would support City too "if and when the time comes" tbf.

Fair enough…he might wear eye makeup and act like one, but Andy’s no clown.

The interesting aspect of this case is on what basis does the commission determine that Everton gained an advantage when spending more. Who can say that they got more points when the spend was only 20 m over 3 years. Spend does not guarantee more points in a season. Rightly a fine is inappropriate. Surely a total ban on transfer signing for say 2- 3 years would be more appropriate. This would really impact on their performances on the field.

It's an interesting point, to me as a lyman it's not a sound argument because we are dealing with so many variables, some teams might spend very little and avoid relegation and some may (and have) spent a lot and been relegated, the more you think about it, it's not a sound argument if it was PSG would have won the champions league year upon year

I think this phrase sums up the pile of shite that the article is "Instances of Man City fans harassing journalists (both online and in person) who have dared to criticise their club's ownership attest to the potential of sportswashing as a weapon with the power to distort media coverage and, thus, avoid accountability. "

Should actually read "Man City fans presenting facts to challenge the lies and myths put forward by 'journalists" who publish articles full of baseless lies without a shred of evidence presented"

"Sheffield Hallam University" christ that study has less value and more bias than a 10 year old United supporters
school project.

"dared to criticise" WTAF!!
Was unaware we live in a dictatorship...do they think the Sheikh has people trying to put fucking Novichok on their door handles?
These cunts aided and abetted every single step of the way by red top club's propaganda machines in cahoots with their media shill surrogates
My heart really fucking bleeds for them....

Dear Mr Burnham,
I accept you are a season ticket holder at Everton and are upset about the way your club has been treated. However, let me remind you, in case you have forgotten, what geographical area you are in charge of. Manchester City F.C. is in Manchester, the name is a big clue. The owners have put millions into your City and changed a chemical waste land into a vibrant area and yet they are, to use local terminology, getting the shit kicked out of them by the Premier League. Is it at all possible that for once you could represent people and businesses in Manchester. Just once isn't a lot to ask and then you can go back to moaning about how badly your own club is being fucked over.

Yours Blue Mist.

P.S. Why didn't you run for the Mayor of Liverpool job because you do fuck all for us.

Fight fire with fire.

If you were an owner of a club settled into the PL you'd have voted for it on the basis it would help ensure new money didn't bring rivals in that could lead you to have to spend more to compete. You could also ensure you didn't have to spend too much money from your own pocket on new players and give fans the "FFP doesn't allow us" excuse. Owners like consistent profits coming in, and FFP was great to keep the established clubs in the league and stifle others.

Sad but true.

This why 115 instead of picking one strong case and bring forward ? has been bothering me since day one. It’s about quantity and smear campaign. 115 charges are for rest of fans beside city who have no interest or knowledge about these fucking 115 bitches .This is premeditated attack however you slice it.
Soriano is the most qualified and experienced boss you can find out there and to say you have been shit for 115 times is plain and simple personal attack on him and his integrity.

Agreed.

115 is a ridiculous number and when we beat these charges the media will never let it go. HOW DID CITY GET AWAY WITH 115 CHARGES!

If it had been one charge and it was dealt with, nobody would care.
