PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

Uefa chief Aleksander Ceferin sure of Man City’s FFP guilt.

Come on Manchester City this can not be right as the head of Uefa is still calling us guilty after the CAS ruling
Manchester City Grow some balls and take legal action because this should not be happening

This is now getting out of hand with everybody, Manchester City saying nothing or doing nothing just shows weakness



Never fight back do we,take a " pinch " was the word way back , and let all and sundry have a go since.
Thats why we have been attacked relentlessly for years.
Me as an old fan,just sick to fucking death of it.

At least that **** Tebas hasn't had a go at us for at least a few months now.......
 
I would agree with that, but the fans take the brunt regardless, ticket prices have to be controlled to sencible levels.

The increasing influence of American owners is very, very dangerous.

American sport is utter bullshit for me, everything about the show and the mighty dollar.
I live in the States and support a team in each the NHL, NBA, NFL, and MLB. Over the years each of these leagues has become completely shambolic in terms of the actual competition. The convoluted and ever-expanding playoff formats have made a mockery of the "regular" season. The standard of officiating continues to deteriorate. It's 100% "entertainment" over sport. IMO the only reason these leagues remain so popular is that they provide such an enormous platform for betting and fantasy leagues.

A lot of this same shit has seeped into the world's greatest game, but those of us who love the sport need to do everything in our collective power to keep those who govern this great game from turning it into a full-fledged Americanized shit show...just sayin'...

If people keep repeating his quotes or using them in crappy YouTube videos put together by rival fans that isn't really him "still calling us guilty" is it?

If you read what he said then there is absolutely nothing legally actionable as he stated the bloody obvious. "We thought they were guilty because otherwise we wouldn't have banned them".
 
We’re not hearing anything else from the club so I’m quite happy about it. Wouldn’t surprise me if the questions are planted so we can “unofficially comment” as a marker to people like Ceferin that although we’re not getting dragged into a slanging match, we’re definitely aware of what’s being said.
Ceferin is a sly bastard. After we were found to have done nothing wrong by CAS he was ringing Kaldoon saying no hard feelings and City were a valuable member of the UEFA family. Proper smiling assassin turn around and he'll stab you in the back.
 
For me it's pretty simple. Regardless of anyone's opinion on spending LIMITS, if you are going to implement a system to limit spending to create a somewhat competitive balance, then the limit has to be the same for every club as you say, simple as. Even if City, Chelsea, and Newcastle can afford to drop a billion in a single Summer a cap is set at say 500 or 600 mil for a calendar year for every team. Some clubs will afford this easily, some will be right about on the number and others might not be able to hit the limit but at least they would have a cushion to operate in and get closer to the wealthier clubs and benefit from any INVESTMENT (NOT REVENUE) they can procure. I find it hilarious and so fucking hypocritical that some clubs, and we all know who they are, want to be able to continue spending up to 3 or 4 times more than everyone else AND at the same time they don't want City to be one of those clubs who can. It's a scam of the largest order being perpetrated in plain sight with the aiding and abetting of the UK media...what a fucking joke!!!
100% this - if controls are going to be place they need to be set at the same level and the protection for the clubs should be any spend in excess of revenue should be covered by investment from owners. Unbelievable that this set of rules was voted in to effectively lock teams in at the top and making it virtually impossible to challenge them.

Exactly.

Some City fans are being easily wound up by clickbait headlines.

It was the Telegraph deliberately taking quotes out of context to shit-stir because some journalists are afraid they'll be sacked if Sheikh Mansour buys the Telegraph - that and clear Anti-Arab views.

As a lawyer, he should know what he can and can't say to avoid being taken out of context.

And if he has been taken out of context here (I'm not sure that's the case) in a public manner, as head of a sports governing body isn't he obliged to clarify just as publicly?

The silence from him is deafening.
