Our charges are nothing to do with the PL's Profit & Sustainability Rules. They are to do with wider PL Rules about reporting true and fair accounts and acting in good faith.

PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules
- Thread starter ayrshire_blue
- Start date
Everton's appeal outcome will be interesting. The PL made up the sanctions rule after Everton had been charged first time around. The points deduction they have received feels very harsh. If the 10 point deduction still stands post Everton's appeal I wonder what the tribunal will apply to us if we are found guilty of some of the charges. The PL will have set a very dangerous precedent for future cases. Everton need to get their points deduction quashed. Everton should have received a financial penalty in my view due to the size of their breach. What a shambles Richard Masters!

We can challenge FFP/PSR, but we've chosen not to be the ones to bring it all crashing down.So now your back to organisations setting specific rules that don't apply in law. The law doesn't state the maximum you can pay an employee is "x" but other sporting organisations have such rules.
As I said to you earlier, we agreed to abide by the rules of FFP we can't now challenge them.
Just because I agreed to join Need For Speed road racing club, doesn't mean the 70mph national speed limit doesn't apply in Law.
You can't exceed 70mph regardless of club rules, likewise we can't legally be stopped from investing what we like in our squad because of FFP/PSR.
The fact we've agreed to FFP/PSR means little in the big scheme of things in UK Law, otherwise the old bill would've long since felt Khaldoon's collar for allegedly spending too much on his employer's business.

Telegraph article today on its back page… Judgement day looms for City ! Article could have been written by a 5 year old…. Basically says a date has been set but interestingly says the club should be made aware before it’s announced publicly…. But we all know it’ll leak to the media before either the club are informed or it’s officially announced.
Also our charges don't actually relate to FFP, they relate to inaccurate accounting which is something that exists in UK law.We can challenge FFP/PSR, but we've chosen not to be the ones to bring it all crashing down.

Exactly, so if we're being accused of inaccurate accounting, doesn't that amount to fraud?Also our charges don't actually relate to FFP, they relate to inaccurate accounting which is something that exists in UK law.
If so, why haven't UEFA or the PL ever levelled that term at us, & called in the Plod?

Nick Harris on X last night, he’s lost the plot. Apparently the club has told people close to him that City had to start cooking the books, he’s not well that bloke. Imagine the state of him when we are cleared.

Of course they did…..
Surely he’ll be a witness for the prosecution.

Laughable isn’t it. Mike Keegan reported this in October.
