PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[Colin Bells Boots]

They didn't fail premier ffp it's more generous! Uefa one doesn't matter because it's always only a fine

Exactly it's the PL and their approach to FFP which is the more insidious of the two, due to the protection afforded to the favoured clubs whilst hitting the " small clubs " with points deductions which cause serious threats to their statuus.

The cancer is in plain site and Masters is the lackey of the cartel clubs and their envy of success that their performances on the pitch are unable to achieve.

The lunatics are well and truly running the asylum nowadays.

But incredibly dangerous lunatics kept in control at the behest of the ragshirt clubs and Spurs.

Yes, it's a real puzzle.

Oh, you!

We're charged with failing Uefa's ffp rules though

3. In respect of each of Seasons 2013/14 to 2017/18 inclusive, the Premier League Rules applicable in those Seasons requiring a member club to comply with UEFA’s regulations, including UEFA’s Club Licensing and Financial Fair Play Regulations, namely:
(a) for Season 2013/14, Premier League Rule B.14.6; and
(b) for Seasons 2014/15 to 2017/18 inclusive, Premier League Rule B.15.6.

so therefore United and any other team punished by Uefa are bang to rights and in United's case it's an open-and-shut case

Those particular rules say "to be bound by and comply with the statutes and regulations of UEFA" and the exact same wording but with FIFA instead. That could apply to anything and they could charge every single club for failing FFP.

I am not buying this. They must have failed PL FFP, their financials were dreadful, but they were in the twilight zone between the 15 million lower limit (or the 45 million limit if 30 million was injected as equity, which I don't think happened) and the 105 million upper limit.

If that was the case, they must have been subject to the extra procedures set out in E52 (and possibly E17) of the PL rule book:


What I want to know is why the Pl doesn't detail which clubs are being monitored under rule E52? Surely that's important information for the fans to know? UEFA discloses which clubs are being actively monitored for their FFP position.

More secrecy as suits at the PL.

 

[Deepest Blue]

That's a bum reply.

Who asked you?
Butt out.

I would like to know how much utd failed FFP by compared to Everton. It really confuses me that they got a fine and others might get relegated or pts deductions. I dont understand the difference.

I think we all know the reason why,certain rules and regulations only apply to certain teams ..

 

[Pontypool Blue]

They've just gotta win every match they can & not leave their PL survival down to the result of Everton's appeal.

The whole situation is bonkers. What benefit do the PL hope to attain by sanctioning one of their members, for an investment overspend their owners can afford to cover?

This isn't what controlling debt in football was supposed to be about.

Indeed.
And This isn't what football was supposed to be about either.
What a tangled web of shit they have woven for themselves.

 

[jaiguruKun]

Surely they'd be better deferring any points deductions until the start of the following season so everyone knows where they stand beforehand?

The rules probably been changed again and with Gill in charge he probably checked them and gave them a pass!
