PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[I'm Blue]

Sheffield United are the next club we’ve ruined..

Grappa isn't a journalist. He's an Everton fan making up an account

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

£20m for a youth footballer.
Wonder if he’s ever heard of Wayne Rooney?
Yep we’re breaking ground here and ruining football.

Endrick was £60m!

His profile pictures are different people. His older tweets are signed Tony. Whatever he may be he certainly isn’t a credible journalist.

Do you think so? I thought he was onto something and we was going down the pan. :)

He has spelt Crappa incorrectly.

Endrick was £60m!

I was assuming he was a rag and the Rooney transfer was 20 years ago.

Nowt wrong with your comparison. It’d probably be £100m+ in today’s money.

I had to go back to refresh my memory on what we're alleged to have done.

1. In respect of each of Seasons 2009/10 to 2017/18 inclusive, the Premier League Rules applicable in those seasons that required provision by a member club to the Premier League, in the utmost good faith, of accurate financial information that gives a true and fair view of the club’s financial position, in particular with respect to its revenue (including sponsorship revenue), its related parties and its operating costs, namely:

(e) for Season 2022/23, Premier League Rules B.15, B.18, W.1, W.2, W.15 and W.16.

So, if I've got this right:-

1. Cooked the books in regards to sponsorship and perhaps Fordham?
2. Mancini
3. Failing UEFA FFP? Obviously(?) can't be right?
4. Failing P&S
5. Failure to cooperate

Am I well wide of the mark on any of that?

1 is sponsorship, so presumably Etihad & Etisalat
2 is Mancini & Fordham
3 & 4 aren't about failing FFP necessarily but not submitting accurate accounts for both the PL & UEFA. Those obviously depend on 1 & 2 but the latter is unlikely to involve material amounts.

I thought Fordham was relatively material at roughly £40m revenue in the season of the image rights sale?
