PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

Dont beat around the bush Kaz!

Bush and Bollocks to it all

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.

When (if) the number of charges is dropped I would expect the first question the PL will be asked is why did they inflate the charge sheet, closely followed by how come they cocked up the announcement so badly. Back foot straight away please Mr Mansfield!

Wow tbh I always thought the £20m breach was bullshit as they had posted mega losses, they also seemed to get away with a COVID write off far in excess of similar sized clubs like Villa and Newcastle. The original figures I see to recall were akin to a £200m breach.

the notion they would spend £40m on a stadium before planning permission had even been granted seems like bullshit as well.

looks like the ten point deduction was lenient after all. Also shows the Everton only got one charge compared with City’s 115 is bollox, I would guess they could easily have had more charges than us if the cartel stooges wanted to go after them.

In Everton's defence, they were looking at a £200m stadium naming rights deal (although that's murky water) and clearly felt they should be given mitigation over that, because it fell through due to sanctions on Russia/certain nationals. But typically a lot of their fan base will be unaware of the fact the PL were trying to help them out in the first place, and will also level the accusation of us inflating sponsorships through related parties, whilst being angry their stadium naming rights weren't granted mitigation - despite Usmanov clearly bankrolling a lot of what Everton have done! There's no hypocrisy here!

They should be watching Chelsea more closely than us. They've admitted to financial irregularities and been fined by UEFA. The PL should charge them and can go further back. And there's also the issue over certain transfers made under Abramovich too. Do the PL grant them mitigation because it was a different owner? Or do they go hard?

The red shit, the gutter press and sly are trying to grind us down, we need to close ranks and get angry, very angry, like when the PL first announced the charges. Get behind our great club, and the players at every game, bring the anger show them all that we are one, Come on Blues.

How did the Rwanda policy get so much coverage before the appeal was heard then?

Because that wasn’t a criminal court and people don’t tend to follow the rules.
Not big issue, I was just correcting the point re restrictions in murder trials - but it’s irrelevant

 

[I'm no cynic but...]

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.

Where can we find each of these 5 charges as I for one haven't a clue where or what they are? All I know is that there has to be a paper trail which should be correct and proper before submission to the auditors and tax authorities.

Wouldn't the money for stadium naming rights have come in when the stadium was built, ie after they had already failed?

Sad but true.

Agreed.

Nothing else matter!

And why do Arsenal get no shit whatsoever for Visit Rwanda and the evil Emirates sponsorship

That nose picking professor of cuntonomic french sleeping bag is the mastermind behind ffp and I’m sure he is involved in this 115 bitches one way or the other.
