PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[mancboy]

the media is an echo chamber for idiots, it is just continuously the same idiots spouting the same crap to the same idiots that need to hear it, there is no dissenting voices because the reality is that the vast majority of people do not care about the print media or talkshite it isnt how they consume their news.

This could be all knocked on the head once and for all.
It just takes 1 journalist to tell the truth.
To not pussy foot around the truth and report the truth.

I can't believe in this day and age that not one journalist wants to go beyond the coin and be honest and tell the truth that the red cartel have been behind the smear campaign.

I don't think I've ever in over 10 years read a journalist report a counter to all the lies.
A journalists to question in person to cerafin, Gill, parry that , are their intentions genuine or part of a conspiracy against city.
Ask em journalists.
Ask em to there face.

Yes. Potentially a massive (!) story if only someone had the balls and the resources to investigate. Personally, I believe there has been collusion between the redshirts and the PL. First question: why did the newly installed PL CEO resign after just one month saying “Certain clubs have too much influence”? Just what was she referring to?

Yep but never big back page spread like the negative stuff about us is splashed

The rest of the press treat him like some oddity.

The Ceferin thing, while it was more loaded than a few care to admit, and he put a bit of effort into it to make sure it stuck, was ultimately what you could expect someone in his position to say and isn't exactly shocking.

But the way our media have jumped at the chance to headline it and pretty much legitimise it as fact and infer cas got it wrong (something he did not actually do directly) and as such we are clearly guilty, is, well also not exactly unexpected, but pretty low all the same. They have deliberately avoided any sense of balance in it and gone straight for the extreme end of that snippet.

Were we to say be found guilty, and one of the hierarchy to come out and say 'we knew what we did was right', would it get the same 'this was unfair' treatment and affirmation in headlines? Would it fuck, it would get either ridiculed or argued in the subtext. Hell even if we are cleared and say we knew so and stress no wrongdoing, I doubt there will be such one sided headlines without a 'but' thrown at it to leave some sense aftertaste of doubt and bitterness.

Weren't there posters on here claiming City's relationship with UEFA had improved hugely with Ceferin being in charge? Same with apparently friendlier relations with the Liverpool board. It's about time they learned that none of these snakes can be trusted...EVER.

Pound to a pinch of shit he will change his mind and say he's been rejuvenated if they win the title this season.

UEFA crumbling
Klopp and his staff leaving Liverpool


Might just be a coincidence.

Lol he wont be allowed to leave the cult, only in a David Coresh blaze of glory, a longboat set on fire, burning on its way to Val Hala. Its a Butch Cassidy, "Ready Kid?" moment.

Statement made to increase contract terms at renewal. Usually introduced by info released by unknown mates of his agent into the sphere of the great unwashed as if by accident.

Let's hope we beat them to the title by a point, they'll be throwing themselves in the Mersey and off the Liver building by the thousand. The donkey faced **** can do his punches to the Kop for another gallant 2nd place.

Surely if you linked it to percentage of revenue it would be even less fair for a club like Luton?

No, because equity investment from owners would be allowed without FFP/PSR limits. The 25% percent of annual turnover amortised debt limit would stop a Leeds situation where they mortgaged the club to the hilt, based on getting to the CL knockout stages every season.

The first season Leeds didn't make the CL, they were forced into a fire sale of the squad, & sank further & further down the league until they were finally relegated, with huge debts they couldn't service. IIRC, weren't they also forced to sell their stadium too?

If Leeds' long-term amortised debt leveraged against the club was limited to 25% of their annual turnover, they would have had ample wriggle room to restructure, without putting the club's very existence at risk.

It's a two pronged approach to stop reckless owners leveraging debt on their clubs, but also giving sensible ambitious owners the ability to invest their own capital as they see fit, to enable them to secure PL status (Forest) or challenge for the league (Newcastle).

FFP/PSR stops this, merely because the Cartel Clubs think it's unfair on them being challenged by new owners with more money to invest.

FSG: Jürgen...Rick tells us City are going to be found not guilty and they are on the warpath. Might be a good idea to manage you're exit, along with your staff to protect the club. We'll get our best marketing men on it and make sure the fans canonise you before the shit hits the fan. Any future action by City is then mitigated as "We've learned from our mistakes." When do you want to do the interview on LTV? They are currently in reception.
