PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[mancboy]

Have the authorities got any proof that these ffp rules are stopping clubs going bust ?

since when has proof ever been an issue to the authorities?

Very likely England did some secret spying to know the penalties direction of every Switzerland penalty taker in the Euros.

Whether that was a drone, hidden camera in the training facility or person spying at their training session remains unknown at this stage?

YOu don't get to know such important and detailed information without some espionage activities.

I like the way they are 'dive' in front of each instruction. Why not just 'left' or 'right'. Maybe Pickford, as well as having short arms, is an imbecile.

Restricting legitimate external investment is a certain way to reduce the amount of money circulating in football. Allowing unsustainable debt (which remains the status quo) increases the chances of clubs going bust. The Pl financial rules are nothing more than a giant con trick carried out by a small group of powerful and influential clubs who want to maintain a commercial monopoly. Yet only one person in the media (Martin Samuels) has called it out for what it is.

pretty hard to go bust when you can't spend anything in the first place

...the rest are 'paid shills', some of whom are fully aware of the cartel conspiracy & who leads it.

The others are probably ignoramus’s who will be compiling 'Deaths,Births & Marriages' for their shameless rags next week.

The English press and media are a shameless & shameful disgrace who have collectively failed to recognise that opposition fans out number rags and dippers by a multiple of X.

If the incompetents reversed their coverage against the red shirt clubs they'd be selling a million more papers every day.

Stupid is,as stupid does !!

One of the problems we have is the MSM is now an entirely data driven business. They know exactly what delivers max clicks. Eg How else do you explain the relentless negativity of the MUEN ?. Traditionally a newspaper that was supportive and positive towards the club, no matter how bad we are doing. Now it uses automated content to drive City haters to their pages. So Pep leaving, KDB leaving, Ederson leaving, Alverez leaving all interspersed with the legal cases is the current shite on offer. They know a negative City story will drive far more users than a positive one. If this is the case for a 'local' rag it will, by definition, be far worse in national outlets. We've even see this spill over into local news coverage, eg the BBC managed to turn the delayed opening of Co-Op Live into alleged human rights violations in the UAE. We have no alternative but to suck it up, maintain the highest possible standards on and off the field, develop hard skins and own it. It's who we are now.

All noted.

My observations apply to clicks in addition to physical purchases.

More fans would read /click positive articles about their own clubs rather than avoiding those about the rags/dippers.


The fan bases of the other 18 PL clubs and all the EFL clubs dwarfs the red shirts.

Lazy,'paid for' excuse for journalism !!

As I've said before on here, City would easily have passed FFP/PSR in the 2006-8 three-year assessment period. Yet we could easily have gone into administration (and we were actively looking at doing so) in July 2008. The reason things were so desperate was that we couldn't pay the second £15m transfer instalment on the players Sven bought, which was due that month.

Our finances in the financial years in 2006 and 2007 had nothing to do with the problem. These started in 2008 and would have hit us in the 2009 financial year.

And sell all young talent to cartel who spread cost so never fall foul of rules

That's just "best guess" based on a players penalty taking statistics that almost anybody with a computer can get hold of.
