PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

City sponsors' plan deals big twist amid Premier League's 115 financial charges

Manchester City are facing 115 charges from the Premier League for breaking financial regulations but the club's owners could potentially navigate the charges with a fresh idea

www.mirror.co.uk

'CAS ruled that any suggestion of a conspiracy involving executives of both City and Etihad, as well as high-ranking Abu Dhabi officials and even members of the country’s royal family was beyond the realms of possibility almost four years ago when they overturned a two-year Champions League ban levied against the club by UEFA for failing to meet FFP regulations.'

Eventhough still somewhat selective, at least finally a tiny little bit of acknowledgement, rather than the usual 'uefa found city guilty, but cas decided charges were time barred' shit.

Nothing really. I'm not sure why it's generated so much excitement. CAS must have looked at that deal and the premier league panel surely would.

You are right. It is clear that CAS spent a lot of time scrutinising the Etihad contracts and they heard evidence from executives at Etihad and City. They had a lot more information than UEFA got and CAS concluded: "There is no doubt that Etihad fully complied wth its payment obligations to MCFC." That is a very strong statement in a legal document with no caveats attached. The proposed public flotation of Etihad seems like a red herriing.

Im sure cas and the pl panel would but to open the books to the sec or whatever audit team the exchange that they have decided to float on suggests a level of confidence that everything is above board although we would have opened them up to silverlake capital who have assets of 101 billion under their control so obviously we are confident anyway.

Quite simply the pl are in unchartered waters and are way out of their depth, masters is like rimmer in red dwarf in that he has managed to find himself running the whole ship when he is nothing more than a chicken soup vending machine repairman and like rimmer hes making an arse of it.

 

[SWP's back]

but the PL has a responsibility to ensure that it does not favour one group's sectional interests over those of another. It is a governing body and should "govern" in the interests of all clubs, the game and the fans.

Just to interject here but the Premier League is made up of 20 clubs. Theres no outside ‘governing body’ at present. Its 20 clubs who vote on things and anything with 14 votes or a 2/3rds majority gets passed.

Masters is there to market the PL and see the commercial rights. He doesn’t come up with ideas, any club (ie board member) can raise an issue and have it voted on.

He had a whole article written when the charges were announced so I’m guessing he MUST have had 12 to 24 hours tip off of exactly what was coming. Funny the PL didn’t see a problem with City finding out from Sky News.
