PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

Whilst the Ashworth Berrada story I’m sure is mild irritation to City, it’s very telling that the Ratcliffe puppets in the media have chosen to ignore it.

However, it’s a huge fuck up by Ashworth - at a time when the teams are arguing over millions in compensation.

Don’t forget this is on the back of him presiding over the monumental fuck up of the Tonali signing.

Ashworth is a disaster and will be well suited to Utd.

I like it more when you are prophesising doom for United :)

That’s true but surely the commission can understand that. Let’s not use City as an example Nottingham Forrest got 100 million fine and 20 point deduction and Everton got 2 points.

You would expect it to be raised at some point perhaps not at the start when we are still arguing our innocence but perhaps in sentencing for want of a better word or at appeal

This particular incident has no relevance to the City case. It’s an argument that would go nowhere.

Just remember what Txiki said - in the end, we just keep winning.

It's naive in the extreme to think all clubs don't discuss ways to get around FFP but it was fucking stupid to put it in emails in an unsecured environment. And look what happened.

At the very least this breaks a number of PL rules I would imagine.

But yes, I doubt the club are bothered.

It shows stupidity by Ashworth which can’t be a bad thing for us as he is going to United. I wonder who leaked it to the Mail though, presumably someone at Newcastle. It also does look a bit stupid for Berrada to be using Ineos accounts. I am sure most people do freelance work on gardening leave but surely not on their new employer’s network.

It shouldn’t have happened & it’s no excuse saying that it would happen in other industries. If it did there would be repercussions but I am absolutely certain the rags will get away without any PL charges. After all - why would you raise charges against yourself LOL

Especially not in a court. United making an illegal approach to a Newcastle employee has zero relevance to whether City have breached financial rules.

In fact it would probably annoy the commission due to the time wasted discussing something that has no relevance to the case at hand.

It does show a broad culture of commercial rivals leaking confidential info to the media. I wonder if the Mail has some more dirt on Ashworth or Berrada. Probably not but I don’t think Ratcliffe will be happy. He is trying to clean up things at the Rags.

If anyone does complain and raise charges then surely it would be Newcastle? At the least it will force them lot to compensate Newcastle for his loss of services and I suspect the figure being bandied about between themselves has doubled. It's all to the good :)

Agreed. And clumsiness over the sharing of information in emails isn’t a particularly good look for the individuals involved, given what happened with City.
