PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[WRicko]

Any charges for the 3 years ending 23/24 have to lodged in January I believe.

I really don’t want to defend Utd but the £40 million isn’t the sum that Utd will have been claiming indeed from what I have read the fact that they are a listed company in the US requires them to disclose their estimated COVID costs and that cost isn’t quantifiable based on their books but they will have taken a subjective view of things such as brand depreciation as a consequence of COVID.

I thought they had already been allowed those big Covid losses are you saying they might not get them

With all the shenanigans at the bridge and swamp, they might as well pull the plug on all the charges against City.

I read that Uefa, the jocks and just about everybody else have closed the loophole where you can buy and sell from a related parry. The only footballing body that hasn't is the Premier League. It does make you wonder if that is deliberate, to help the new yank owners. I'm sure City's lawyers will be looking at it and maybe even mentioning it.

UEFA knocked them back.

I'm starting to hope we win 5 in a row, get found guilty, go down to div 2 and win that and the CL in the same season. It'd be a right laugh and the most city thing ever.

Very true but also, we could be the only World Club Cup Winners, officially the best in the world, playing in Div. 2.

Non-coperation issues are entirely lawyer generated money spinning rackets imho.

Whenever the 'PL" sent a request/demand to City for info it was authorised by Masters but almost certainly 100% authored by the PL lawyers. City's responses although signed off by Sorano almost certainly were 100% authored by MCFC lawyers.

Now we all have to wait for a few months and wonder how will the IC lawyers judge if our lawyers did or did not "cooperate" with the PL lawyers. Of course "cooperation" in this sense is defined by the PL rules authored by some other PL lawyers.

The outcome could be very very consequential for us. And in the meantime the legal bills will be in tens of millions of pounds. Some people estimate well north of £50m.

And all of it for what ? to answer two questions, did HHSM pay sponsorship fees or did Etihad Airways/Etisalat.

All about Masters fulfilling his promise to the redshirts made in his job confirmation hearing, the contents of which have never been disclosed.

I thought someone posted on here about related transactions between clubs

.....we could win the EFL,FA Cup, League Cup, Champions League & Charity Shield.

We'd be on telly every week, break every record and have some right shindigs with some of our historic 'friends' of yesteryear.

It won't happen but it would be fun and funnier !!

Yeah, and how about Masters "cooperating" with every other football fan in the country and publishing the exact content of those "job" interviews. No chance.
That's why, whenever he appears in public he does so with all the charisma, sincerity and integrity of a bag of pork scratchings.

when we can expect next round of PSR charges? last season we heard clubs agreed to fast track these, and these take 3 seasons into account which accounts will be coming out this autumn or some bit later. in average most account are published by end of calendar year for previous financial period.
PL might be getting numbers much earlier.

so when can we find out any charges for season 21-22,22-23, 23-24 with max loss of 105m?
would be surprised if no clubs broke this period. of course the Chelsea hotel sale will be crucial, is this all above the board and accepted by PL as valid revenue? as this will surely help them not to fail.

edit:
also that strange move around of players end of June between Forest, Villa, Chelsea, Newcastle, wonder if thtat gets some special checks of some overpriced no name players moved around for PSR profit:)

I think the next round is around Christmas time with all but 3 red tops +1 getting 40 points deducted.
Sky have said having arsenal rags and dippers fighting for the top 3 will be good for ratings and spuds given 4th as a sign of appreciation for having their arse dry fucked by the 3 red tops.

One of Sky's more lucid moments, especially the last bit.
