PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[Centurions]

If we had stamped on shit like this from day one instead of being Mr nice guy.
Only ourselves to blame for the continuous daily bombardment of bile

And how do you think that would play out across all media?

Is middle eastern oil money being used to buy more than just success for football clubs?

The irony is that if Sheikh Mansour hadn't bought us, criticism of the UAE wouldn't be a mainstream subject. People like McGeehan and Mackenna (one of whom will no doubt be involved in this podcast) would be howling in the wind. And your average football fan wouldn't care a jot.

I see F365 have declared Arsenal champions because we are cheats, cunts

Put one of these company's in court the rest would have stopped

That's the letters page - it's always dominated by Liverpool, MU and Arsenal fans.

I have literally never said other teams aren't trying to influence the Premier League. We saw the 9 clubs get named publicly by Pep that wrote to UEFA (and he was right to do so).

Erm….

Yeah, the people who think there is a secret underground cartel of all the other big clubs and the PL collaborating together to plot our downfall are the rational ones.

Yes you did

if Chelsea pull this off regarding selling infrastructure to internally to themselves well then Boehly is really master of loopholes.

as the alternative is them urgently selling 3-4 players for decent fees, and limit their spending for the summer window or face heavy PSR punishments like points deduction for next season which likely crush their chances finish in CL place.

I kind of like they give lot of extra headache to PL PSR lawyers.

thank God Boehly isnt as creative and good in transfers ad squad building as in finding loopholes.

Regarding City all rules are there to be pedantically observed.
I get the impression that any loophole usage by City would be ruled as bad faith.

I agree however that like dealing with tax affairs, loopholes are a continual area to be exploited.

Not well, but the slowly, slowly please like us, hasn't been a huge success either.
Perhaps if we'd started early enough? Who knows?

:) I managed to put myself through the first part about City and, really, it was generally bollocks. McGeehan, that asshole from Sheffield Hallam, and some random locals with axes to grind.

Why can no-one get their head around the difference between a private investment from an AD businessman who happens to be a politician and a royal, and a sovereign investment fund? It really isn't difficult. They can ignore it as much as they want, but it just weakens their argument as no-one has ever, in any legal setting, put the case that City is, in fact, owned by the emirate of Abu Dhabi.

And then their point that Mansour invested in City so he could coerce the City Council into making profit out of regenerating the area. Really. I doubt Mansour had been to Manchester, was remotely interested in Manchester or had any interest in investing money in Manchester until after he bought the club. Why would he? What he did have, though, was the business acumen too see the benefit to himself, the council and the region as a whole in investing outside the club. As for gentrification, I didn't see any of these assholes being born and growing up in NE Manchester over the last decades. They can stick their concerns about gentrification up their arses along with their posh accents. Lived in Manchester since the 1990s? I bet it was a leafy suburb, not fucking Ancoats. Tosser.

That’s cute but it doesn’t work like that ;)
