PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[WRicko]

They're not independent. What verdict do you come up with if your job depends on you saying guilty? Just be prepared for relegation punishment, absolute uproar followed by a public hearing of some kind via new government administrators.

So you think we will be relegated but clear our name via some uproar and public hearing ? What uproar we are hated everyone wants us gone

 

[Keeper!]

TBF if they scrutinise any of the major clubs with the vigour they have gone into our dealings issues would probably be found

I watched the Defoe documentary the other night I'm sure Arry admits breaking the rules to sign Defoe and just laughing about it.

I dare say the pl are looking into this as I type

I'm pretty sure Arry's dog completed that deal

Their job doesn't depend upon saying guilty They are Kings Council barristers who will not be short of work, in fact one of the reasons for the "delay" in the commission sitting is aligning the diaries of the KC involved

Chelsea will have a case to answer next season and unless they come up with some incredible transfer income they are in very serious doo doo.

Chelsea have three issues to contend with and the one you reference is indeed for next season but the other two are potentially far more serious:

The new owners have reported potential issues with previous years accounts. Although they are from the Abramovich era it will be the club that receive any punishment. You'd assume there could be some mitigation though.

The Guardian have an ongoing investigation into disguised owner investment by Abramovich involving millions going to club employees, players and agents. Essentially a mirror of what we've been charged with

Marina Granovskaia linked to secret payments by former Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich

Finally, it is almost certain that they will fail PSR for 2023-24 by a huge margin. They need to raise way over 100 mill net profit on player sales by June 30th this year.

Stefan discussed this with same outcome on TS a few weeks back. Basically they can't get out of it as the players they would need to sell (i.e. the ones in their prime) would not go to the only clubs that would be willing to pay the required over inflated prices for them (i.e. Saudis). FFP and PSR means that most other European clubs would be priced out of what Chelsea would need to get for them

The stupid fuckers didn’t take into consideration that were the best run club in the world

Hopefully

That’s why the rags are trying to copy everything we do mate

Not a problem according to a Chelsea fan on Stefan's Twitter. All they need to do is sell six players to Saudi by June 30th. He reckoned Stefan was a prick! His reply was very funny.

Hopefully, is referring to the financial side of the club, what them daft bastards from the piggery do,does not concern me one bit.
