PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[PPT]

Yeah it's not true anymore but it was for a very long time when they first started up, all of their losses were absorbed by the state, others would have gone bankrupt.

British Airways was run at a loss for a good few years and the losses absorbed by the State. I think it was the same with Air Italia and a few others also.

Problem I see is the Premier leagues board brought the charges although there have been changes since 2021, they seem relatively independent to start with :gulp:

Alison Brittain CBE – Chair
Mai Fyfield – Independent Non-Executive Director
Dharmash Mistry – Independent Non-Executive Director
Matthew Ryder KC – Independent Non-Executive Director
Richard Masters – Chief Executive and Director

Statement of Corporate Governance Arrangements
The Board is committed to excellent governance standards, which are central to the effective running of the Premier League and the following information outlines its governance principles.

Since the League undertook a full governance review (completed in 2021) it has adopted the Wates Corporate Governance Principles for Large Private Companies (the "Wates Principles"). The Wates Principles are voluntary and provide a framework for the Board to monitor corporate governance of the League and determine where governance standards can be raised to a higher level across the business.

The Wates Principles support better engagement with stakeholders and helps to build trust with clubs, colleagues, partners and supporters. This governance framework also provides the right environment for the Board to continue to make high quality and resilient decisions for the long-term success of the Premier League. Since their adoption, regular updates tracking the League’s progress against the Wates Principles have been provided to the Board.

Its quite hilarious that you state that i am naive in my supposition that the ic has to come up with ironclad evidence to support their evidence and then state that the pl board is independent.

Lets start with masters who was third choice that was only appointed after being interviewed by the rags and dippers and who was told by a government enquiry that he was out of his depth.

Dharmash mistry who is an arsenal st holder.

There is nothing independent about the pl and never has been and if you think there is ask yourself why the rags covid exceptions were approved without exception and then no more mentioned, also why 4 years into var are 2 clubs STILL allowed to operate without screens in the ground.

Do we know if other clubs tried to get more Covid losses if for example clubs had applied for 10s of millions of losses and only got 1 or 2 million and United got there massive losses then it looks worse than if clubs got what they applied for and United applied for more and got it

What he said if u read the quote is just paraphrasing what most other idiot journos have said which is well its 115 charges so they must be guilty of something in which he has confused the press tactic of throwing enough shit against the wall hoping that it sticks with legal precedent he then goes on to say that they cant fine us because it makes no diff so they have to give us a massive points deduction once again confusing what the press want to happen with actual reality if u want to liken it to football parlance its like them saying every year its the dippers year or the rags are gonna challenge and then reality bites them in the arse.

I’m surprised someone as connected as Gray can’t seem to find a job anywhere in the UK.
