PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

Sounds like some rather petty, low-level charges in amongst them?

Just trying to match up the codes to the rule book (might be outdated) but I see some reporting and time issues, youth player contracts and image rights issues…

Hopefully someone else with more expertise can run through it.

This is one of those occasional threads we get where the page count grows so quickly that you could throw in a GPT and go unnoticed for a while.

T-12 ruling seems serious

A Player under the age of 17 years may not enter into a contract of employment with a Club and may only be registered as an Academy Player.

Sancho?

Look on the bright side mate and @PJM1891 , you get to celebrate milestone birthday's remembering that City are being the most City that City can possibly be.

Enjoy you two.

Anyone got any idea what will actually happen?

I think once the clock strikes 12 tonight it will be Tuesday.

This campaign is being driven by the Hateful 8 (9).

I'd be surprised if the PL had the resources (or appetite) to pursue this independantly.

This is going to go into years of technical accounting and legal arguments during which our enemies will keep hammering the message of curruption at City.
It will end up settled (as these things do typically) but in the meantime they will have 3 or 4 more years of devaluing the clubs acheivements in their media.

Lets be clear about this, there has probably been a fair bit of creative accounting going on as there is in all large businesses, and the same type of thing will have been going on at all the PL clubs in the same way.

The aim of the H8 is to keep the story rolling on the basis that some shit sticks along the way.

The people running the PL are not interested in competion or fairness. The thing is run by and for the benefit of a cartel of clubs, we see it every week in the refereeing. Even yesterday it was there (even if we were a bit shit), every 50/50 tackle we won was a foul.

If they manage to derail City they might as well just rename the PL the WWPL and be done with it.

The smaller clubs are pathetic. Buying into this shit hoping to get a few scraps off the table when order is restored and Utd, Liverpool, Arsenal etc are back in their "rightful" place at the top of the table.

The PL is currupt all right, but isn't City that are the real criminals, whatever the outcome of this bollocks.

The PL has been infiltrated by Americans and they won't stop until the game has been repackaged to suit US interests. Its only a matter of time.

This 100%.

They all need to bring us down because their debt laden business model can't cope against us. There's been nothing but dirty tricks against us for over a decade now.

Do the premier league go back this far on every club in the league ?
The premier league must employ 100's of thousands of people to keep a check on all 20 clubs

of course not but they have been investigating City for 4 years, on the behest of other clubs...

That's pep gone then if we are found guilty

If guilty almost every body will be gone. Consequences will be massive and they will make example out of us
