PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[A590 blues]

Basically some no mark cockwomble of a "journalist" has posted an article on information that's been public for the best part of 10 years as some fucking breaking news story.

Beautifully worded

8 months to make a judgement ?

To make it look as though the outcome wasn't pre-determined.

Surprised to see United in the same group as us. Could be down to Ratcliffe that. If the Glazers still had full control, you’d definitely expect them to be in the other group.

They don’t want to vote in a way that annoys the government while they’re pursuing funding for rebuilding the Swamp

From a city ffp perspective an 80k with closing roof would be better as the revenue for concerts , boxing etc would 100 per cent go to the club. The co op arena will be discounted from our income ffp as none of the cartel clubs have a share in an arena but many of them hold events in their stadia.

With an 80000 capacity stadium, smaller concerts could be in Coop Live, with the larger ones being held in the stadium.

It still rankles me that a political decision in favour of London over Manchester technically still affects us.

Imagine if we had an extra 20000 capacity, with those tickets being affordable & aimed at the low waged & young? This would have a huge effect on our gate receipts revenue in respect to FFP, with even more revenue being brought in from the resultant hospitality.

I recall a discussion about this on BM, with one poster saying Westminster's decision permanently limited us to a 62000 maximum capacity because of the redesign, but another poster claimed all the additional pilings & infrastructure were built anyway, meaning we could in fact add the additional seats (taking the capacity to 80000), with the retractable roof at a later date.

I can't remember what the end conclusion was, or even if there was one. Perhaps someone could chip in to confirm either way? )(

if one person says something then gets 20 replies back, that one person sounds wrong, our pr isnt bad,its the overwhelming tide of guilty shaping public opinion, every newspaper has us down as guilty and as city fans we can say what we want, but "we would say innocent wouldn't we "
our owners arent stupid

That's the whole point of a latent PR campaign. We create the narrative & place it at arms length in the media & on social media platforms, & start spinning our positive FFP/PSR alternative that way.

Surely there's a better alternative to FFP/PSR, & if there is, we should be disseminating it to our advantage.

Makes sense when you consider the open and shut case of Everton took so long. It's a hugely complex case being fought hard by both parties. So no early resolution in our favour seemingly.

Regulation should be nothing whatsoever to do with money. Too difficult to audit, unfair and restrictive. Should all be about the playing staff/squad allowed and how often they move.
There's only a finite amount of World Class players at any given time. The rest won't be bad either. They came at this all wrong in the first place. They are obsessed with turning away investment to save the protected monopoly positions of united and liverpool - an utter disgrace and gross misconduct in office.
Discouraging investment as they have, is mal-practice.
But, the horse has bolted and we're the patsy awaiting our stitch up.

A verdict in 2026, which means the Premier League and its cronies will have been obsessing over accounts that will be over 17 years old when it happens. It’s desperate, desperate stuff from them.

 

[Gone for a Burton]

Thanks him for doing his best to price out all our original fans? Or for spending a tiny fraction of his wealth to buy great players?

I'll have your Season ticket....if you have one !!

People often say in what other line of business is regulated to stop investment. The more I open my eyes we realise regulation & lobbying & lawyers are used in every part of life to control competition.

It’s fucking corrupt
