PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

Metalartin said:
100% agreed(great post btw), I thought there were at least some rules talkshows and even youtube content creators have to follow. In fact, I know there are and I'm fairly certain they are breaking them and although perhaps they're not seen as a major breaches of the rules and regulations already in place, they are doing it with such frequency that it's becoming routine/accepted.

talkSport are accountable to ofcom's rules and regulations, there are rules on impartiality standards, fact reporting/misinformation etc. Here's a quote from the CEO last year:

I don't subscribe to the notion that talkSport are exempt from these rules because of what they class themselves as, they discuss news and current affairs in the sporting world, plain an simple. They shut down opposing views, cut them off(don't allow them to be heard properly) and misrepresent what they said.

As for youtube, click the report button on a video and you get list of all the things you can flag a video for, so you don't even need to read their rules and regulations, misinformation has it's own checkbox as does 'spam or misleading'. That's actually something we as City fans can do ourselves.

I don't normally like reporting or grassing people up(there was a code against that where I grew up lol) but enough is enough, it's the way these slimy arseholes operate anyway(such as Nick Harris and Rob coming on here fishing for victimhood ammunition). You know they would in the same position, so it's giving them some of their own medicine really. We should all start doing it, before sharing it or discussing it, if there's a strong case for misinformation or misleading clickbait then report the fuckers.

Maybe we could petition to ofcom too and give examples of their breaches but I have the feeling it would need the club to get onto them for ofcom to take serious action, if they bother doing anything at all.

You make many good points and I appreciate the information. I also come from a place where "reporting" was greatly frowned upon, lol. It's why I've posted on several occasions that some of these people need nothing short of a good crack to the face, but it's gotten my posts binned...No repercussions results in zero accountability...

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?

Was this actually stated? I never knew this. Shocking.
 
"raises wider questions about whether every member of the league truly does receive treatment that is fair and consistent. " Completely shot himself and the agenda in the foot at this hearing, seen right through him - the days of all EPL clubs are created equal but some are more equal then others are coming to an end.

This is something I wrote about in my blog: https://kingofthekippax.substack.com/p/but-what-about-city

The PL proposed a 'tariff', with a start point of a 6-point deduction plus a point for each £5m that the loss exceeded £105m. With a loss of £124.5m, Everton would have been deducted 9 or maybe 10 points. The IC rejected that, on the grounds that they should set the appropriate penalty. Then the PL demanded a 12-point deduction, which was more than their tariff would have imposed. The IC rejected that demand and imposed the 10-point penalty they would have imposed if they'd agreed to the PL's tariff that they'd previously rejected.

Work that one out.

That’s just them being performative and picking up on the reaction that happened after it.

This for example from the chair - “To suggest clubs are categorised according to size raises wider questions about whether every member of the league truly does receive treatment that is fair and consistent.”. That’s exactly what the question put to him did - he was asked if the really big clubs with “expensive lawyers” are treated differently.

The way he responded was absolutely ill advised in the wider scheme of things but it was pretty obvious he was referring in kind to a question that had already categorised clubs.

The point he made was one we actually should all be supporting - that what happened to Everton and Forest are rules that are applicable to everyone and our case (which was what the questioner was referring to with the “really big clubs with their expensive lawyers”) is entirely different.

Simon Jordan, astonishingly has argued Pep's comments amount to him 'barking at the moon'. I strongly suspect he's been reading this forum, anything he doesn't like that gets under his skin, he'll shamelessly try and debunk even when he's bang to rights('I have no agenda').

They've done their usual trick of misrepresenting the facts of why UEFA's verdicts were overturned, putting it down to a time-barring technicality only. Simon did his usual spin on the non-cooperation charges too, "If you were innocent why did you accept the fine".

Just on that quickly, here's what CAS concluded on that:


View attachment 105318
I'd always presumed this was an organisation similar to CAS and wondered why we never heard any progress or outcome from it. So, I just had a quick look, to see who they are and the closest match appears to be this: The Control, Ethics and Disciplinary Body:

So, it was left up to UEFA to investigate their own leaks and come to their own verdict. No wonder we never heard anything from it.

I get the ICs position there completely, not the PLs though!

Yep, that was her stated reason given some time later but no-one seems to have followed it up. Perhaps she refused to talk. Hard to find but Google Susanna Dinnage.
