PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[domalino]

I'll never understand why so many people insist on using "not winning the league" as some sort of evidence that preferential treatment doesn't exist.

The alternative is believing that there's a shadowy cabal that's constantly trying to target City specifically and protect the "redshirts" that is simultaneously an existential threat to the club's future existence while also completely ineffectual at doing either of these things and incapable of actually impacting anything on the pitch where these "protected" clubs fail year after year.

I hear that the mafia also earned quite a lot of money through their industries and business dealings, but on deeper analysis I discovered that they were not so much of an example of a business model that should be heralded as ideal though.

Again...this makes no sense if you think about it for even a fraction of a second.

If the Mafia wasn't breaking laws in order to exist and make money, it would be considered a very successful business.

Are you alleging the Premier League is breaking laws? Which ones?

Again you're just copying and pasting buzzwords.

It's a cartel? Who is? The entire league or the the clubs that you're convinced are running things and yet have won 1 of the last 10 league titles?

Remove our domestic titles, & this is how FFP/PSR was designed to shape the Premier League.

2010 - Chavs
2011 - ManUre
2012 - ManUre
2013 - ManUre
2014 - Dippers
2015 - Chavs
2016 - Leicester (The fairytale anomoly)
2017 - Chavs
2018 - ManUre
2019 - Dippers
2020 - Dippers
2021 - ManUre
2022 - Dippers
2023 - ArseAnal

If the above was the case with ManUre, Chavs & the Dippers dominating English football, with City being Europa/Conference League regulars at best, dya really think we'd be going through the FFP/PSR travails we are now & have in the past? No chance!

We're unwanted trespassers in their private members club & they want us ejected, but they can't. Hence they keep changing their club rules in the hope their old order can be restored.

This is why it beggars belief that City fans keep talking about life beyond Baldy as if we're wishing him gone. To my recollection, Pep's never intimated he wants to leave. It's our opposition who want Slaphead gone in the hope they can reclaim what they believe is rightfully theirs.

City are oil money invaders from the Middle East & the old money of the Premier League want the stench of us vanquished.

It's the same go-to as people on the refereeing / VAR threads saying "if they are trying to stop us, they aren't doing a very good job, are they?". It's disingenuous firstly because most people don't really believe they are trying simply to "stop us" and secondly because it doesn't even recognise the possibility that, over a season, games can be managed to get results that benefit the "product".

Tbf to @domalino he is making some good points, but, as above, no-one really is suggesting the PL wants United and Liverpool to win everything. Are they doing things to protect the position of United and Liverpool (and their sidekicks) at the top of the game from threats from Chelsea (too late now), City (after this latest hurrah, will be too late) and now Newcastle, Villa and the like? That is the better question. Not sure there is much doubt about that, honestly.

What does Doncaster being taken over by criminals have to do with the Premier League?

Nothing. I was talking about the rest of the pyramid, if you bothered to read the post. The clue is in the first sentence.
You have entered your usual nonsensical realm now, driven by your belief that you are right about everything. Stop posting and take a deep breath.

So just so I've got this clear.

1)FFP was dreamed up to have the league always be won by United or Liverpool.

2)FFP was brought in and in place for 10 years.

3) United and Liverpool have won 1 title in this time.

You've convinced yourself a scheme was created to stop City, it was brought in, it had absolutely zero effect, and that's proof the evil scheme exists.

...and now the rules are being changed to benefit new owners with money coming in and competing with the "protected teams" you're convinced that's also proof of the protection scheme.

Exactly because the biggest complaint imo, is the degree of influence which the favoured clubs have over and above the interests of the other clubs in the PL, with the likes of Masters being manipulated to facilitate their interests.

Whilst the favoured clubs would obviously like to be winning trophies, always being in the most advantageous situations in whatever respects, with the knock-on effect being financial, is the primary objective, deserved or otherwise !

Mainly because of us being in the way.
That's why we're hated and constantly attacked.
They'd like us removed
