PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

Came across this write up about Tebas.

Few extracts:

LaLiga president Javier Tebas admits he has “denounced” Manchester City to UEFA and is now keenly observing whether an independent panel will find the club guilty following 115 charges for breaches of the Premier League’s Profit and Sustainability Rules.

“There is no denying there have been many irregularities,” said Tebas, speaking to Caught Offside in Saudi Arabia where he is visiting for the Club World Cup which Manchester City are favourites to win. “We already denounced these to UEFA. We don’t yet know what the decision from the Premier League’s case against the club will be, but Manchester City were already sanctioned by UEFA once, yet due to a formal defect they appealed at CAS.

Tebas is currently in Jeddah and working closely with Saudi authorities. LaLiga recently announced Visit Saudi as a partner and they are exploring opening a new Saudi office in 2024.

Yet back in 2020 Tebas told reporters in London that Saudi’s sports project is “whitewashing” and accused the government of being part of the pirate network channel ‘beoutQ’, which stole LaLiga games along with other high-profile sports rights from Qatari broadcaster beIN Sports.

“I said that [Saudi Arabia was using sport to ‘whitewash’] three years ago in London and back then I didn’t know enough about Saudi Arabia and their plans,” he said. “Now, I have changed my mind and seen great progress in Saudi. I have changed my mind generally about Saudi because the country has been changing a lot. It’s more open now and it would be a huge error not to change my opinion about Saudi as a result”

“I would accept a job to be the Saudi Pro League president!” Lol

Corrupt wanker.

I think the weight of Sheik Mansours trust within the UAE will ensure the fat **** will never ever get a job within football over there.

If it becomes obvious that we don't have a case to answer he will have to fall on his sword.

oh, I agree with that.
If the hearing is in the autumn, that'll be the trigger for it (IMO).

Either that, or they'll end up with no CEO for quite a long time while claiming they can run themselves properly!

The guy voting against was German. A junior in his practice wrote a piece “proving” that City were guilty.
It is said that it is common practice at CAS for members of a panel not to vote against their own nominator if it would result in 3-0. Not sure just how true that is.

It's probably false. This would mean this guy gets to see both other votes before casting his own on every single decision. I can't see that being possible.

Our owners aren't providing billions to the UK economy either though. Positive I've read your owners (indirectly) are very pally with the Tory government so maybe that will help in the long run? Either outcome is going to be a war - City are found innocent, every club who have been punished so far or have stuck by FFP and been denied trophies etc will be outraged. Then, if City are found guilty, there'll be a massive, lengthy process of appeals and legal wrangling.


Either way, it's absolutely tarnished the Premier League. We're only little Wrexham but I'm glad we've bypassed this era of the Premier League. It's all corrupt.

Our majority owner is Sheikh Mansour who is the current vice president and deputy prime minister of the United Arab Emirates, he has King Charles and Joe Biden on speed dial for instance. He isn't just 'pally' with the odd tory.

Perhaps the court of public opinion will force an announcement for a date on our hearing, but not expecting anything seismic.

All seems a bit overblown to me
Gonna waste all this time and money to basically find us guilt of non cooperation.
Almost like the 115 charges are geared up to maybe find us guilty of a few small ones and then loads for not cooperating
We say shows were innocent
Then everyone else says we got off on a technicality and we’re still guilty…..
They then change the rules to let united spend a shit ton more money trying to catch up
