PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[Keeper!]

All football clubs cook the books to a certain extent & always have done, a four year deep dive CSI investigation into any club on the planet would flag up a multitude of questionable issues

Every single business known to man cooks their books in one way or another, just don't get greedy and don't get caught.

I can’t imagine any business owner putting a like up for that statement.

Its called creative accounting my friend. its the business equivalent of telling the missus the new car cost half as much as it actually did

I check this thread everyday, just in hope that there is no news, think we've got through another day!

The way I sees it, the two cases are linked but are also different. We have been slagged off by the media by going alone and yet its known that other clubs are watching because they are in fear of being caught out with the possibility of exceeding the -£105m 3 year limit and the respective punishments. Clubs are known to be scrambling to sell players 'cheaply' to comply.

Our other case of batting away the 115 charges is different because it's all laid down in writing with every penny being accounted for and the battle ground is centred around interpretation and its legitimacy. City say it's all kosher and its up to the EPL to prove that it isn't. Changing rules after the event isn't right and all the EPL can do is to withdraw the charges and for clubs to get around the table and work out an unambiguous guidelines as to how clubs should operate there finances. And when this is done we can all get back to football which is what we are here for.

All I can say in the matter is this, if a club can afford to buy whoever they want and pay them whatever they want and not go into debt then so be it. But if a club can buy players for big fees, pay them big wages and yet have debts of nearly £1billion and no sanctions are taken then the whole FFP, PSR, APT is then shown up for what it is, a device to protect the red cartel from losing their self entitled position within the Premier League and to be used to curtail or even kill any threat to their position.

The simple answer to all these haters sticking the boot into City is this: Don't get bitter, get your own houses in order and find better investors to fund your club and clear your debts.

Have to ask.
Have you any evidence of this?
