PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

Agree 100 per cent. Perhaps Masters is even more stupid than anyone thought was possible. He and the PL board started off with the intention of trying to avoid an independent regulator but the way they have handled the City allegations, and now Everton and Forest, is the biggest possible advert for independent regulation. English football is a multi billion pund industry and the PL leaders are not qualified for the role they have been given.
It’s no wonder that previous successful candidates turned down their job offers for Masters’ role; although if you step back it’s actually pretty astonishing that people go to the trouble of applying for a job like that, with all the prep involved, all the emotional energy that’s required to be part of that process, with all the opportunities the role could present, and after being offered the role they turn it down like it’s working a few weekend shifts part time at the local.

Presumably they sought assurances that were not forthcoming.
 
That has always been my issue with Roan. Of course he is politically biased but the main problem is he is totally incompetent. He gets a huge salary but never gets any stories. He misses everything that happens in his patch (Manchester). He has been behind the pace on the rise of Manchester City and never reveals anything we don't already know about the United takeover. HIs reporting on City's battle with UEFA was riddled with mistakes.
He’s beyond wank.
 
Sky obviously hold a lot of power with the premier league.
I bet they are pissed off from a sky bet perspective as they don't know who will be deducted points so will likely lose money on people betting on relegation.
 
We haven't been "charged with 100 offences." City have been accused of presenting misleading accounts on multiple occasions. It is the same group of allegations spread over a long period. As many have pointed out on here. Essentially five alleged offences repeated over a decade.
The words used are important. The way the case has been reported has been distorted by the BBC (and others) from day one. The briefing to the media from the PL has consistently stressed the "115 charges" narrative. The Times apparently got the information even before City were told. It is dishonest and so are most the so-called journalists who are covering this story. They have just repeated the narrative they have been supplied with.
