PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[Lord Blue]

I wonder why we don't poach Ed Woodward and directly sue the people responsible for this witch hunt.

Just make it super expensive for them individually!

just out of interest, where and when was these pic from. Not that it matters i guess.

It‘s been a while but media stayed quiet.

Newcastle was only £280m nearly 15 years later.

Yes - excellent business…. Or was it with FFP already installed.

Personally I think it is but it can be considered that both clubs are like 2 similar pieces of land but the first (City) has planning permission to allow huge growth & the second (NUFC) is heritage listed & therefore can’t be developed.

We wouldn't be found guilty of fraud though.

We'd be found to have not in acted the utmost good faith, of not providing accurate financial information that gives a true and fair view of the club’s financial position, in particular with respect to its revenue (including sponsorship revenue), its related parties and its operating costs.

It sounds like you’ve just described fraudulent activity to me mate, regardless of how it’s dressed up

It’s absolutely fraud.

Imagine if the Sheikh did finally get bored ans ADUG decided to sell the club. The potential buyers would be conducting due diligence on accounts with artificially inflated income / hidden operating costs (measured in the tens of millions).

It’s an incredibly serious accusation

Pl and masters

And to find us guilty, it would be systematic and complicit fraud, from directors and other businesses.

Regardless of how the Premier League would want to frame its terminology, and we know why, it would represent the most serious of verdicts, resulting in actions to the High Court.

I don't think that's possible though.

The fact is they're not going to outright accuse anyone of fraud, they're going to accuse of breaking their rules and the club signed up to resolving it's issues with those rules via tribunal and not in court.

So I think they have to break their own rules during the process for us to get relief in a higher court.

They already have. Knowingly falsifying accounts = fraud

This is what we’ve been accused of bud
