PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

What do you mean, how accurate is it? It sounds like Stefan giving his opinion on Talksport.

I'd rather listen to this @projectriver guy, but he seems to have gone quiet.

Their opinions seem to be very similar though

..... and their voices. Uncanny, really :)

Edit: sorry, don't like wumming. For anyone who doesn't know, Stefan is @slbsn on Twitter and now on Bluemoon. Before he used to be @projectriver on here.

'There is a growing consensus among Premier League executives that the outcome of City's hearing will result in a points deduction so severe that it would relegate the club'

'According to The Times, one Premier League club executive said: 'The collective view I've heard is that an appropriate sanction would have to be a points deduction so substantial — we are talking here between 70 and 80 points — that it guarantees City a season in the Championship.'

Ok then.

I wouldn't give a shit if they did that

Done them all before

Yeah I'm really keen on the idea of every single top player we have leaving for a cut price, Pep and all his coaching team leaving and probably the club being sold off

Nothing at all has happened. If you were relaxed last week, be relaxed this week.

Am now chilled after various replies. Thanks all x

So Everton get points deduction for a bit of overspending but Chelsea get fined for potentially massive off the books payments to players and agents directly leading to the capture of players like hazzard who win them trophies and are sold to Real Madrid for how much ?

The PSR charges for all intents and purposes are straight forward in that the numbers in the accounts and the numbers in clubs submissions will tell the tale.
As you say and the point is those payments are“ potentially “ off the books. I am not for one we denying that that there is every possibility that the PL can prove that these payments were made but the question remains without access to RAs records, accounts etc can the PL prove even to a beyond reasonable doubt.
The PL can try as much as they like to get someone outside a clubs responsibility to make a statement, release emails, texts etc but if that individual isn’t under the control of a club, not involved in football then what conclusion will any investigator be able to reach?
The PL and indeed Chelsea will want to draw a line under RAs tenure , the new owners of Chelsea will want to draw a line under the issue so I very much doubt any major challenges will be encountered.
As I say I may be miss reading completely but I just sense the discussions now revolve around a “ comprise settlement “. If that’s right I suspect it will be a combination of 3 sanctions 1) a fine, 2, a Transfer Ban and 3) a points deduction the latter I would not be at all suppressed to be suspended

Thing is, the 'evidence' in the Chelsea case is every bit as damning as the evidence in our case, yet the Pl spent 4 years investigating us before making their allegations, yet you're confident Chelsea's case will not only be investigated but concluded before ours is?

More so because Chelsea actually reported that there was a problem with past accounts. City have denied there is a problem and are saying that we can prove it are saying there isn't any damming evidence.
