PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[Ghandi's Flip Flops]

With Everton and Forest it's reported as they failed 1 collective breach of FFP/PSR each whereas City get tagged with '115 charges' total.

Does anyone know how many total charges were involved in the Forest and Everton investigations?

Heard somewhere Everton had 8 or 9 charges, but could be wrong.

As Stefan has said many times in his interviews and debates, there is no issue with clubs proposing, or voting for rules which will benefit them, that's normal and reflects life in general. What we (meaning all fans of any PL club) should have an issue with are clubs colluding to specifically target any organisation that becomes, or are looking to become more successful. In literally any other industry that is deemed illegal and anti-competitive, yet here we are in 2024 and one of the highest value industries in the world where it is alive and kicking, moreover it actually seems to be the normal way of operating for the PL. How the government have not stepped in sooner astounds me, the PL stopped being "just sport" long ago.

It doesn't matter. It isn't the right logic to be assessing any of the cases. Let idiots worry about that. We should concentrate on the substance of the charges, the likely evidence the PL has (or, more likely, doesn't have) and the clubs likely "irrefutable" evidence. And then the conclusions take care of themselves.

theres an article floating about this morning saying we should have a 690 point deduction and be relegated, but heres the kicker when we get back in to the prem each time we start on negative 690 points so you start the season already relegated and then work the points off......

Crazy how much people are desperate for city to be found guilty. It really does show mob mentality is not just in person but is digital too.

Have we verified the person who wrote that actually has a brain cell?

It does though. Trying to explain to someone the difference between the numbers involved. Everton or Forests one breach/ failure of FFP/PSR was resultant of a 'number' of charges against them (not just one).
Just wanted to be able to back it up, with the actual numbers from a Forest or Everton perspective.

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.

They didn’t conclude that, that was just a summation of the facts in the conclusion as that was never an allegation put forward by UEFA. It’s the rest of the conclusion that gives their judgment on the allegations, which was that they were not comfortably
satisfied that any disguised equity was used to fund it.

What they said about Etihad was that neither hypothesis could be fully proved.

The salivating social media mob really do think they speak for eveyone - in reality, usually a bunch of box room thickos waitng for mum to shout "tea" - unless of course they're not out threatening paediaticians.

I know what you mean but it really doesn't. My advice is to not even argue about the number of charges. Once you get into that discussion, you have fallen into the trap of discussing stupid stuff with stupid people. You will never win.

If people want to argue with you about the 115 charges, just ask them what they think they are.

Only certain gobshites in the media preparing for us to be cleared by spouting shite like were deliberately delaying the verdict ergo were guilty morally and should punished accordingly.

The dye has been cast. Even if we are cleared and sue every fucker who's slandered us into bankruptcy. The most tribal of football fans (red cunts) have decided we've cheated them out of titles and trophies as a coping mechanism for having their arses handed to them on the pitch on numerous occasions.
