PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

I just don’t think City are going to waste time pressing for charges over someone breaking gardening leave. Especially as the work being conducted is only really of significance to two other clubs (United and Newcastle).

If Berrada was approaching current CFG employees or accessing company data/infrastructure to carry out this work then that would be an entirely different matter. But he isn’t as far as I’m aware.

I understand the feeling of injustice at the moment and a thirst for retribution etc but City won’t see it that way. They’ll look at it from a business point of view and I don’t think there is anything to gain from taking this further.

In fact, if you read scruffy Jim’s comments re Khaldoon, he praised the way we approached the Berrada situation. We aren’t now going to change tack just because he tapped up an employee at Newcastle.

Hopefully Brighton and Necastle feel differently.
 
Ok let’s play it out.

The PL conduct a fishing trip and find that Berrada had an email conversation with Dan Ashworth saying “I believe Frimpong is a pretty handy player”.

What do you think the sanction will be and how do you think it will benefit City?

Seriously, we’re kicking off over someone breaking gardening leave to conduct business that has absolutely zero impact on City.
I understand what you are saying.
But it does allow the rags to get down to work early which was why the gardening leave was agreed .
We didn't want them to get a jump on next season

Yeah of course, we’re not going to do them any favours and if gardening leave is in the contract then it will be applied.

But there’s a still a big difference between that and actually enforcing any potential breach of gardening leave.

(Plus I reckon it will take more than Berrada’s gardening leave period for the rags to catch us up!)

Do you think Liverpool getting access to our scouting database helped them catch up? Not sure we should be so blasé a second time.

I wonder if we have removed his access? :)

The main purpose of gardening league is to isolate the leaver from our latest thinking so he cannot pass it on to his new employer.
