PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

I knew United was ongoing, didn’t know Newcastle may be in trouble too.
I don’t think they are in trouble per se. They are arguing with HMRC’s view that image rights derive from their employee status and should, therefore, be treated as wages.
They will lose in the end and pay what is owed plus maybe a penalty for delay.
City discussed it with HMRC and revamped their accounts, paying the extra tax due, without penalty.
But for some strange reason, we get charged by the PL but nobody else does! Hmmmm….must be the blue shirt.

TBF, the PL can't/won't do anything until the cases are resolved with HMRC. Probably won't...
 
So the CFG have pinged £500K into the rag transfer kitty and helped to reduce their wage bill some what. That's due to the van de Beek transfer to Girona FC. As Etihad Airways sponsor Girona, I wonder if the rags have any concerns about the integrity of that £500K ? probably not on this occasion. No big deal, but does it have more significance?. Most blues, myself included, would like to think we would never co-operate with them ever again in any capacity unless forced to do so, either by law or PL/FA/UEFA regulations. Personally I don't like the idea that scruffy jim has reached out to Khaldoon to improve our "relations" with them. They have been at the forefront of this war against us and we should never forget that. When they were on the bones of their rag arses we allowed them the use of our ground and look how that ended...

Conversely, perhaps it shows that whilst we are both CFG members we make football decisions individually.
Who knows, maybe Mr K is testing Sir Jim out with a mere 500k?
