The problem with people like this (Not the only one, of course) is should we be completely exonerated, we won't hear another peep out of him. He'll disappear off into the ether and that will be that. He can anonymously stir up a huge shitstorm without having to put so much as an online handle to it, but won't ever have to face the consequences of being wrong.

Was FFP even in place when this contract was signed? My understanding is that it came in later

It came into being with UEFA in 2011, first reporting period was 2011-2013. It came into the Premier League in 2016 but was supposed to be less stringent. The Premier League voted to take away any time barring so they could retrofit charges against City.

Thanks, tbh I was more thinking about the bogus rules of the Premier League than any HMRC stuff. I recall Newcastle getting raided by customs though but they don’t win things so are ok for now.

Damn if i was the pl and i wanted to get this done id be signing harris up to be on the legal team quick smart as he definitely knows what he is doing or on planet earth we could know that he is crackpot on social media spouting off subjective hyperbole in a pseudo intellectualised manner in order to seem to his audience like he knows what he is doing because the reality is that if he had one tenth the knowledge or investigative ability that he claims to have he would be in the employ of some of the serious players in the business and sports world as oppose to shilling for pennies on social media, seriously nick get help your zealotry has made you unwell and you have lost all sense of perspective you are not a one eyed man in a world of the blind you are the man who put it all on red when its coming up blue.

in fairness he had his man on the inside Wenger doing his bidding. Blocked piano man’s £60m move to City then handed him to the rags and took a makeweight in a direct swap (one that maybe the premier league should revisit) to free up wages for the rags to afford Piano man.
