PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules
- Thread starter ayrshire_blue
- Start date
If I were a betting man my guess it would be more to do with our matters and not Cities.Anybody seen Stefan’s posts on Twitter about rule changes ?
Interesting some additional unexpected big stuff could have happened at the hearing
As far as I am aware there has never been a similar case. Not heard of any others facing so many accusations.

Is it another sneaky rule change which has been slipped out quietly by the PL because it will support their ongoing narrative that City were unable to supply them with emails and documentsIf I were a betting man my guess it would be more to do with our matters and not Cities.
going back to 2008? How realistic is to ask any business to archive material going back 17 years when their books have been audited every year and been approved? The lack of transparency by the PL and the way it governs elite football is a disgrace. Does this rule extend to confidential financial documents provided by external sponsors which have no legal obligation to release their business documents....especially to be seen by their commercial rivals? The PL is a cowboy operation.

My reading of the new rules is that clubs are only required to preserve documents after an investigation commences. So if the normal requirement is to retain documents for six years, as dictated by limitation law, and an investigation hasn't commenced against a club in that time, then a club might dispose of those no longer needed documents. Any subsequent investigation might not have documents to look at.Is it another sneaky rule change which has been slipped out quietly by the PL because it will support their ongoing narrative that City were unable to supply them with emails and documented going back to 2008?

This will put the onus on the PL to be more diligent in their consideration of club accounts.
I didn’t see that update to the rules. That does sound like City/Mancini/Yaya documents may have been accidentally deleted.

You see the Premier League didn’t have to do all of this when it was the red cartel wanker clubs and Chelsea occupying the top 4 and spending money at will. No need for Rules as nobody else really threatened the stranglehold.Is it another sneaky rule change which has been slipped out quietly by the PL because it will support their ongoing narrative that City were unable to supply them with emails and documents

I'd be interested to see the Premier League rules from 1992 onwards and see how they been tweaked and changed.
Or more to the point, was there any rules at all in the 90s and 00s?
I bet there wasn't even enough to fill a page but i bet the lower these "original 4" began slipping and losing their top 4 places to other teams these rules got bigger and longer and added to until you had a handbook of complete bollocks like we have now.
Just a thought.

You only need to keep documents related to financial matters for 7 years under GDPR, unless they're subject to a legal hold.I didn’t see that update to the rules. That does sound like City/Mancini/Yaya documents may have been accidentally deleted.

Not accidently, it sounds like they were deleted in line with standard retention periods for accounting documentation. So basically deleted as good practice.I didn’t see that update to the rules. That does sound like City/Mancini/Yaya documents may have been accidentally deleted.

It’s Delooney. The usual smears and steers from a redshirt club, and just another excuse to post his usual bullshit. Don’t botherAs far as I am aware there has never been a similar case. Not heard of any others facing so many accusations.
