PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

If we'd had FFS/PSR in 2008, we'd have passed easily, even without the allowance for owner investment. After all the allowances for things like depreciation and youth development expenses, I think we'd have shown a profit.

But, as Ivesaid before, in June 2008 we nearly went into administration as we couldn't pay the second instalment on the Sven transfers the previous summer. You have to ask therefore, what is the point of FFP? Because it would have stopped us, Leeds or Portsmouth from going under.

The sad thing is because of the tribal nature of football, opposition fans failed to heed our warnings about the true nature & intent of FFP/PSR.

Watching SSN earlier, Howe admitted they pulled out of a deal to sign Philips because of the financial restrictions in place.

Ten Dawg says he's abandoned the search for a striker, similar to several other clubs abandoning transfer plans, not because they can't afford it. Not because of debt. But because of this bent FFP/PSR.

How is this supposed to be good for the PL brand? The league is killing itself trying to appease the Red Top Mafia & Spuds.

Things can be made to disappear. Not saying it's happened in this case because I haven't got a clue, but I remember reading an article with Scudamore, he was talking about Leicester some time after they had won the league. He basically said people got very nervous after Leicester won the league. The article then disappeared like a puff of smoke.

Funny you say that. As a result of this conversation I re-read the articles about the PL CEO leaving and I got the feeling that there had been some alterations. For example, some are now saying she never took the post up, but at the time all stated that she resigned after one month. The articles were not quite as I remembered them. I am sure that at least one of them quoted her to say that certain clubs had too much influence, but it’s not there now. Hmmmm….

Happens all the time. Many websites show last updated time on their articles, I've read articles, including those relating to City and FFP where articles from years ago have last update times of a few weeks ago. Makes you wonder if we really do have a Ninteen Eighty Four Ministry of Truth Scenario where history is literally being rewritten by those in power

I remember reading that but can’t find it. I’ve even googled her name & interference…. But nothing.
