PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[gordondaviesmoustache]

Shouldn't some of the legs be bad?

Haha! Absolutely correct!

Just testin’…

Ill thought out rules that failed to see the direction and success of football away from dodgy butchers, scrap metal dealers and TV Rental local business men owners - into the global billionaire sphere.......and then to persist with trying to appease united......masters really is the puppet King Canute, not just of football, but of commerce.

As is looking likely (all being well), if United miss out on Champions league qualification for next season, will they not be sailing a little close to the wind too re. PSR rules? I’m guessing they’ll have changed the rules by then though.

this is exactly how utd managed to stay at the top for so long, they push teams to the edge financially and then cherry pick their best players when the clubs have to sell so their challenge to utd fades away

correct we can go back to the early 80 Ipswich great team , where did Muhren,Wark and Brazil go Nottingham Forest Davenport,Birtles jebb Liverpool and United

This is not right. The amount of clubs who challenge is getting smaller and smaller.
The pl is destroying itself to save 3 red top +spuds.

Fans dream of their club being successful and it's being taken away from them. Not by results on the pitch but by accountants.

Also the selling club will be in a weaker position to push for a good price as the buying clubs knows they have to sell. The whole think stinks.

Are City the only club that welcome competition ?

City are the only Club that have had to comply with the tightening FFP rules over the years at the same time as observing minimum debt which in the real world is a massive asset when Covid struck income levels.

We have certainly exposed the clubs that try to compete who have little regard for FFP or have thought it would only apply to a cheating City.

Looks like Villa could be sailing close to the wind. Here’s Stefan’s take:

Points deduction imminent - the only way the rags can qualify for Europe is to punish better clubs above them!!

When I was in the army, I once worked for a rag who was the Yeoman of Signals of our unit, so we dealt with sensitive and classified stuff. He stupidly asked me to password protect some classified files, so of course, I used “CITYTILIDIE” CITYFORTHECUP” and others. He was less than impressed, especially as he couldn’t change them as I had set them, with only me having permission to change them!!

You can expect a visit from the Redcaps, giving away our military passwords like that.

Yep there is going to be another vote yep another vote on psr next meeting! You can bet a team will bring up letting teams spend more and point to inflation! So I'll expect that will go up from losing 105m over 3 seasons to a yearly one of 40/50m losses is fine

I hadn't see his latest rantings. He is very upset by the podcast, very upset I blocked him and very upset that I refuse to take his feeble emails yesterday as some kind of de-escalation. Harris reads this thread voraciously. I will not descend to his level. I have never said to him I believe City are "dodgy" and there is a cigarette paper between my private and public view. It is safe to say he will publish (as he has done) whatever he thinks are my most scathing assessments.

I have said to him that I don't believe the toolkit thing Colin believes and that I have told Colin that. I also said Colin is wonderful self publicist (which he is). I also do not approve of any of the personal pile ons on Harris relating to his personal tragedy. I have also disapproved of that Rabin character on Twitter but we've had a mutual block for years anyway. Fundamentally, as I said yesterday I feel a bit sorry for Harris and his personal tragedy and that comes across on numerous times in our DMs over a 4 year period. More fool me.

I have published my DMs with Harris on Twitter. I won't be bullied by him.

Are the DMs still on your Twitter mate as I can't find them?

No I posted them for people to see there was nothing there but they aren't staying up
