PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[halfcenturyup]

The ideas are so vague that if any club challenges in court a ruling against them by the PL as being contract interference, the club will win. How does the PL prove that a deal has not been assessed for fair market value by the club? That would be an early question to the PL witness to which they would have no satisfactory answer. “ We compared the deal of the treble winners to a deal by Sheffield United” Pah!

I can see them looking in their sponsorship databank and saying the Etihad deal should be at the same level as United's 1999 sponsorship :D

But yes, the whole thing is on pretty flimsy ground. They don't just want to disallow any income over their fair value estimate from the PSR profits/losses, they actually want a club to repay sponsorship money if they think it's above fair value. It really is madness.

What does someone on the swag look like ?
Cue pics of criminals in striped clothing, masks & holding a bag of swag ha

For some of our rivals and most of the press, a fraudster is Khaldoon wearing his Arab dress.

Yesterday, somebody paid £25k for the shirt Colin Firth wore in Price and Predjudice, is that " fair value " ? Most people would say no but the person who paid for it would disagree, "fair value" is subjective . The Premier League are making themselves a laughing stock

A painting by Hockney goes on sale this week with a reserve of £18m. Bargain.

What if Masters has a cunning plan?

What if Masters has a cunning plan?

He's got a few, I think!
I'd cast Khaldoon as the Lord Flasheart, btw.

The thing is the biggest value exposure market I'd imagine now is America/UK, as the likes of India, Africa, China hasn't the disposable income so who has the big TV audience figures in the countries that matter?

I believe it's iccle City, nothing to see here regards us but a worry for Toon.

Sponsors look for tv exposure but you can guarantee that the PL leave that out of their comparisons.

Meanwhile, we have two big games this week. Football, remember that?
22 guys run around a field kicking a ball……………..







And City win.

The melt down of chancer, Brent di Cesare, will be a particular highlight. Can't wait.

Chancer, Brent di fucking Cesare. Absolute twat of the highest calibre.
Plus the meltdown of both him and flying pig was a beautiful thing :)

Why does any of this matter too us ?
Our horse bolted a long time ago, we are the biggest attraction in the football world and as such we will attract the biggest sponsorship deals and as such all fair market values will be judged of what we are worth to companies.
So in essence smaller /underachieving clubs like United, Liverpool and Arsenal should receive smaller sponsorship deals until such times as they can match our achievements.

Yes it’s not like we couldn’t find decent none Abu Dhabi based sponsors much shy of the amounts we get now
