PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[bobbyowenquiff]

the media are reveling in this pitching everton against forest and forest against everton then getting advisors to wind up more the "what about city " pile on

Virtually no criticism of the PL hierarchy from the football media but more from general news reporters and those with good political contacts who know what has been going behind closed doors at the PL. Football reporters have a much too cosy relationship with officials at the Cartel clubs and people like Richard Masters. The reason for this is that these people are the source for the private media briefings.

Great listen cheers

Did Stefan actually go as far to say City would be cleared? Or has the YouTuber added his own opinion?

Thanks

My hope with the premier case is that an agreement can be made before the tribunal is concluded.

1894 should create a huge banner to display at home and all away grounds.
WE WARNED YOU.
YOU DIDN'T LISTEN.

I'd gladly contribute to the cost, not that it would ever be seen on any TV screen.

There was never really a big 5 in the 80s though IMO. From what I can deduce, that was a PR campaign bought and paid for by those very clubs. The original plan set in the late 80s, was obviously to create are legitimate big 5 in the PL era. Then it quickly became a big 3, when it eventually arrived. Spurs were a mid table club at best for the first decade and half of the PL era. Everton faired slightly better without really challenging much(how many title challenges, how many trophies in the PL era?).

It was a big two at best going into the PL era, Liverpool for the success(miles clear of everyone in major honours with 32 by the end of the 80s), United(15 m-h) for their attendances(have to give them that unfortunately).

Arsenal(16 m-h), Everton(14 m-h) and Spurs(14 m-h) had no legitimate claims to put themselves above the other traditional top clubs of old english football. There were too many clubs, too close to them to claim they were bigger. Wasn't there only 1 televised game a week for most of that era(Liverpool taking most of the limelight)?

The big five at that time were in place due to the carve up of TV rights that were a result of a deal they did with ITV

they agreed a deal where their games would be the primary focus of the weekly matches that were shown on a Sunday afternoon

therfore securing the vast majority of TV money for themselves

they then went behind ITV’s back to do a deal with SKY

I wouldn’t be too sure. If we follow the process to conclusion he is most probably right with his assessment and due to his legal background, it would be hard to argue against. This is the premier league we are taking about however, a dishonest agent targeting a club at the behest of others.

Moral thinking and decency will go out the window. A shady deal would be more to their standards. Would City go along with it? Don’t know.

My WhatsApp group has lit up because of this Forest news, could any of you more intelligent people refute this?

The reason a lot of people think they are guilty is there were leaked documents which UEFA were given which showed there was false accounting (and I think City maybe even admitted to it?). But under UEFA's rules too much time had passed to charge them, whereas the Premier League doesn't have a time limit in its rules.

Jim Shite just came out with 'Manchester City, 115 charges kicked into the long grass', that's what we're up against folks. Just doing the bidding of the vested interests.
