PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[cheekybids]

He would be sued or may even get jail. You can’t go spouting shit to the media about previous job roles but then again we live in strange times.

No one is getting sued or jailed if he says our fans are shit & we’ve got no history, throw in a bit of a shithouse innuendo for good measure.

The Rags will lap it up, it’s been done before by Rags & Dippers with ex players.

I reckon Omar Berrada will start spouting shit & calling us all sorts & I reckon at first it will get a lot of copy, the media will lap it up, we’ll stay quiet & win everything & he’ll be sacked within 3 years.

Yeah some blues already know he won't let us park our work van there:

The coverage city get is unreal. If you compare it to the club that murdered 39 or the Italian clubs that actually bribed refs and were demoted and titles stripped to Barcelona and the dodgy ref scenario and their magic levers or Madrid who get bailed out by the government or Munich who may as well be state owned! None of it get any scrutiny on our level. It’s quite a thing to witness. It must be a social media thing.

But hey, no one cares about city! Right? -:)

They basically got a one year European ban for killing 39 people. The rest of the English clubs had to serve their sentence for them, they just got a year on top, you know for being the actual fucking murderers.

And even then the cunts wouldn't admit it. They blamed Chelsea and the NF, and this is somehow a club that is the bastion of all that is good about the game?

They can fuck off, the sanctimonious, hypocritical twats.

City set the football doomsday clock in 2008. FFP followed and now football is on its last legs. Corruption is rife and journalistic integrity is gone. Decent fans have lost all sense of reality. Now we are bombarded with fake news and lies everywhere we look. You could compare it to the dodgy email from Nigeria looking a bank transfer. In 2024 the scammers are a lot more sophisticated. The lies look real and it’s hard to decipher fact from bias fiction.

However if the money came from our owner (it didn’t ) but they are saying it did then the true value is the amount paid by the sponsor even though that is below market rate plus I suspect the money coming from our Should have been accounted for in a different way (equity) also whilst I don’t believe Etihad etc are related and this is not the definition of related but a non related party wouldn’t allow themselves to be used in this way proof to me it didn’t happen but if proven to have happened then another problem

Nope. The true amount from the point of view of the audited accounts is the amount in the contract between the two parties, as long as it is at fair value, the one party has provided services to the value of the contract and the other party has paid in full. How the paying party is funded, is irrelevant to the accounts in my view.

The only reason this is an issue is because of the PL rules. The annual accounts don't have to take the PL rules into account.

Don't get me wrong, the allegations can meet the legal definition of fraud, but imho the accounts give a true and fair view just as they are. And the alleged misstatement of the accounts is the most serious allegation by a long way.

All in my opinion as an accountant, not a lawyer, so I am quite happy to be blasted again.

Ignore everything
Turn all forms of communication off !!

 

[Father Paul]

Complete nothing story as per usual that will get blown way out of proportion.

How else is he going to answer that?

Does anyone expect him to say, we were wrong and shouldn't have charged city in the first place? which would then bring up a whole load of questions as to why they did it? Obviously he's going to say he/they believed they were right. CAS told them they weren't.

Not sure it's a nothing story

Not sure it's a nothing story

Part of a sinister orchestrated campaign to throw as much shit at the club so that regardless of the outcome of the 115 our reputation is trashed.

 

[lancs blue]

I am very sad and though I love us winning everything and playing such a breathtaking football all this ongoing shit is taking alot of the joy away.

Are you kidding?? It doubles the joy every time we win a trophy because it hurts the red-shirted cunts that much.

 

[Norman kneejerk]

He must surely know that in his position its inappropriate to be commenting on this. He is not stupid. Sounds more like he's under pressure from certain other clubs to keep them onside. They must have him in their pockets to get him to come out with this though. Geeze.
