PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[meltonblue]

cant help but being suspicious of the PL and the other top clubs,there is always another motive hidden away that apears when things are signed up

Yup. The PLs model of being owned by the clubs themselves was always going to be a recipe for disaster.

The fact January's transfer window spending was 84% lower than last January should tell the PL that what they are doing is choking the bandwidth. Which dribbles down the slippery slope to the champ & leagues 1&2 who’s clubs will eventually start to hit financial icebergs due to the lack of money in the game

I've not known any industry that would actively prevent investment.

I've not known any industry that would actively prevent investment.

simple approach:

1.Stop investment, club can’t grow.
2.Base spending on commercial strength.

Result: only 2/3 teams can win the league. The product is protected; the end.

No more challengers allowed. City’s name ruined and Newcastle or anyone else can forget about having money to spend.

Racket simple as that.

flogging home grown assets is like selling the family silver but it’s so lucrative in FFP terms clubs will be forced to do it. Local lads in the 1st team will become a thing of the past.

It’s obvious that the whole thing is starting to fall apart and is likely to unravel very quickly, possibly in the next few months. It is a fuck up of truly epic proportions and turning the league into a fucking farce.

The worry is that our charges get caught up in that collapse leaving an intentional and tedious question mark against our name. Just hope on this occasion the club is more strident in defending its position, and pointing the finger, than it has been hitherto.

Same with Joey Barton on his podcast, says it’s well known in football circles we inflated sponsorships to circumvent FFP and we voted for more strict financial limits to stop Newcastle/Villa etc joining us at the top table. You feel like your pissing into the wind with the constant lies and besmirching of our club

Joey fucking Barton really!

The Kane transfer has given the £100m of pure profit. They have loads available to spend. They won’t mind. They’ll just charge pensioners fill whack to watch them finish 6th.

Yeah but those pensioners get a prime view of that golden Cockerell, so they should put up and shut up.

No club could afford to buy them though

There will always be a question mark over our name mate.

Fuck them.

Just win/get rid of the charges in any way we can then carry on winning.

I know that mate, but the club has a degree of control over how much, which I suspect they won’t sufficiently exercise. I expect any statement in those circumstances will pull its punches. Hope I’m wrong, but experience teaches me I’m likely to be right.
