PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[Rodri’s ACL]

what I hope tho is their existing players start to engineer moves in hope of CL football hhaha.
is there any fucking ambition in the likes of Garnacho, Yoro, Amad to step foot in a CL game? clearly the likes of MAguire, Shaw, Fernandes happy to pick up their big salary which is 3-4x more than what their direct PL rivals like at Palace, Brentford, Everton earning lol.

Yea, with ratface going to Saudi, they’ll get £100m but be even worse off.

Dont think the Saudis are daft enough to pay that.

He was quoted in the Mirror article. Where they got it is anyone's guess. Could have been Maguire, I suppose.

Got it now from the Mirror and it is Maguire quoting de Marco:

"I think, based on historical evidence, that City have got the upper hand over the Premier League. Nick DeMarco thinks it will be a score draw where the Premier League will win some of the 115 charges but City will have a far stronger case in others."

So, de Marco sitting on the fence :)

There is no way we are innocent of everything is there? I just hope the main issues we are charged with are not guilty

they wont fail. they will just claim some residue covid allowance in exact amount that helps them avoid PSR breach. or also can go down the way like Chelsea selling woman team etc.

Exceptional allowance for being terminally shite.

U sound like my missus

I noticed that. She has little patience!

 

[TheGhost]

he was hinting at public executions above the new north stand :-d

Hardest decision you’d ever make would be who you would pick to go first up.

The reality is that the Scum are not in a very good negotiating position , clubs will offer below market valuations because they know how desperate they are.

Why not?

We could very well be innocent of everything.

 

[richards30]

We could very well be innocent of everything.

I hope so Colin but even if we have felt in maybe the image rights situation we were correct it will be a grey area and we will lose that? I just dont see full not guilty on everything mate.

I will always stick to I don't think that people like HRH and Khaldoon would risk there reputation by fudging an extra 50 or 60m through our books from friends of theirs. Sorry the MCFC is just not worth it to them imo these people have to sign deals for trillions to keep their country going when the oil runs out. If they are found to be complicit in fraud will people want to really deal with them??

I thinks we most likely are. At least everything substantial.

How do you get found guilty of something that’s a grey area?

 

[TheThirdDeano]

Just floating out the idea that the pl have lost so as a final fuck you they’ve asked us to delay announcement as long as possible in the guise of preparing for fallout but really they’re trying to disrupt one last summer as much as possible

Plenty of clubs deal with US entities...

Massively disagree.

 

[richards30]

That we have probably been told verbally something was fine but then it wasnt? That happened when the goalposts were moved i believe when we got fined by Uefa didnt it colin? @Prestwich_Blue

 

[richards30]

Massively disagree.

Mate, i REALLY hope the word is exonerated!

Not exactly sure if this is the place to say this, but surely the rags could very easily fail PSR. They have £400m in debt payable by next year and £300m to pay on their current squad supposedly. But they’re also buying ~£200m worth of players when they can’t pay dinner ladies and are without any European football. Sounds like a recipe for disaster to me. Could be very easy to fail PSR or do a Rangers on it so.

On top of all these cuts they are making to staff and the potential refinancing of debt of what they currently owe. How does this stadium get built, the £300 million of public funding they talk about doesn’t touch the sides the the £2.5 billion to get it built. How do they pay for it without more loans to cover it? It’s suspiciously got the look of a dodge on psr, they knew they weren’t getting top four when they announced the stadium build and the very real possibility they wouldn’t win the Europa league. Not a peep has been said about the stadium since.
