PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[slbsn]

Sjiac made a ref to u at end that he will talk to mcguire for financial opinion not stefan he said. Wot a dick

Well it is true he doesn't ask me for briefings like he does with Kieran. But he does seem to have changed his views on the drivers of FFP despite what he claims to think of things like my Unofficial Partner debate!

I went to see a film the other day, I was appalled that the producers had paid a big price for the best up and coming actors & actresses to appear. The film was very good, excellent in fact, as the director is considered to be the best in the World. The film will most certainly win a lot of awards but, for me, they won't mean a thing, how do other films expect to compete on a shoestring budget with worse directors.
I think all future films should have a salary cap to enable more even competition.

You had him on the run @projectriver :-).
He didn’t have answers to your points and could only try shouting over you. Kieran didn’t have a point to prove re City so he’s a safer option.

indeed.
I'm sure Mr Patel, of Patels Mini-Mart will be keeping a close eye on this, as his ongoing battle with Tesco continues..

Some of the biggest losers here will be Academies like ours, there’s no point trying to develop young players, the majority of them who won’t make it at top flight level. The payback for investment in Academies is future sales of a few players to lower league clubs to offset the cost of developing all the players within the set up.

There’s plenty who don’t make it but they have at least been given a chance to fulfil their dreams with fantastic coaching and education.

These new rules will have the effect of driving down transfer fees at all levels, probably making Academies to potentially run at a loss. However if a player like Cole Palmer is sold for big money it’ll still add to revenue but that money will not be able to be reinvested on an alternative player.

As a consequence of this bullshit player fees will plummet in the next few seasons, will drive down the quality of the PL and Europes elite will benefit, they must be pissing their sides watching the most successful domestic league in the world tearing itself apart.

It’s on a par with Gerald Ratner’s famous off the cuff comment:

“How can Ratner’s sell jewellery so cheap?”

Gerald

“Because it’s all crap”

Ratners didn’t last long after that.

Was thinking about this last night. Is the new spending cap on Net Spend? Surely it must be which makes the Academy even more imprtant.

The vote the other day was only on the principle of anchoring. It still has to be finalised and one key area is can profits on player sales be in addition to the turnover cap.

It’s purely based on TV revenue, any money made on player sales is completely irrelevant if all other income covers the 5 x the lowest club’s TV money.

I certainly hope it is. The Academy would be really important then,

Yes but, don’t forget which club has been doing well from the Academy, it’ll be on the table that player profits won’t be included in the criteria, I’m pretty sure of that.
