PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

Watch out Blackburn….

Pretty sure Blackburn have already been on a longish transfer ban a few year ago.

Yes, far better! As I said earlier, the cunts don’t know what they’re doing.

I reckon they decided if it worked for Ceferin then they would follow suit. I’d be making a point at the next shareholders meeting that it was a poorly worded statement.

Hope Leicester chase them up about the ‘surprise and disappointment’ comment!

What a bunch of cunts! It reeks of poor sportsmanship and childishness, and shows you they operate in bad faith to their competitors that aren’t part of the cartel

Another question for our legal people.

If the APT rules are found to be illegal and have to be changed, but 7 clubs vote against changing them (as they chose to do when the PL tried to close Chelsea's hotel loophole). What happens then? I am thinking this "it's the clubs that vote for the rules" is just convenient nonsense to allow the powerful clubs to get what they want to the detriment of the league.

Surely the role of the CEO & board is there to ensure the legality of the rules & those illegal rules cannot be adopted no matter how many want them. ( oops it was aimed at legal peeps )

But they have been adopted. So they would have to be changed. This happens by a vote in general meeting. What happens if the PL doesn't get enough votes from the clubs to change?

Just a theoretical question out of interest. To see if seven clubs could cause a lot of nuisance if they aren't listened to .....

Outgun them? Masters is in charge of the pl and khaldoon is in charge of city, they bought a blunt stick to a nuclear war

The PL have a top KC.

 

[KS55]

Yep. On the face of it, it shouldn’t have any relevance to our case but if they can’t get it right in a seemingly straightforward case like Leicester’s, what chance in a complicated one like ours?

Given the wide-ranging nature of the allegations against us, you’d have to think that City have multiple avenues of attack lined up. It’s also left me wondering if Everton and Forest have an angle to get their punishments thrown out too.

Stefan was, I think, referring to the original rule on managers remuneration in which it is explicitly stated that the managers contract is the evidence needed. Well we submitted Mancini’s contract. His arrangement with Mansour is not part of his relationship with City. End of.

 

[KS55]

This has to be one of the PL's most inept and stupid decisions, and christ knows they have made so many in their attempts to appease the redshirt cartel.

Firing Masters has to be the first and easiest of the jobs for an Independent Regulator.

Regulator will not have that power.

 

[KS55]

it’s actually comical they are asking him to comment on this. They might as well ask him to explain quantum mechanics in Latin.

Atoma est……

Yes, I think the point is that the "spirit of the rules" has died a death. The rules are the rules as written. If someone does something not against the actual written rules, it doesn't matter what the "spirit" is. The wording of any contract, any rule is important.
