PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[Prestwich_Blue]

You can't fail rules you helped to write

And that get changed when you look like failing them.

So then. I would love to know what "significant exemptions" the rags are going to claim.

If I was an Evertonian, a Forest fan I would be so so pissed off.

Sky just airbrushed it by saying “things like infrastructure, youth football and female football”.

So essentially, the normal things most premier league clubs spend money on.

The wriggling and mental gymnastics on this is going to be a joy to behold.

 

[give it to gordon]

Why are other clubs keeping quiet about the different rules the rags have. The house of cards must start to fall soon

Or misinterpreted them

This is absurd. A loss in excess of £250 million over the last three years when PSR threshold is £105 million. But all ok. F'ing prove it.

Anyone got a contact at Private Eye? Where is Ian Hislop when you need him.

They're going to have to find £150m allowable expenditure to avoid a points deduction under PSR, so £50m a year. I reckon City's allowable expenditure is something like £30m a year tops. Maybe £35m in a good year.

No way they should be meeting it, unless they're going to claim some dodgy shit like they did to avoid an FFP failure.

Very true. Several ultra knowledgable guys. And me .....

Stop fishing mate, makes you seem very needy :-)

Seriously though, you're contribution is at least as valuable as @Prestwich_Blue and @slbsn and I for one really appreciate it.

Apart from hiring people from us have they hired the £50m no spade in the park guy from the dippers?

Everton and Forest deserve all they get if they don't question this to the absolute max.

Caught one :)

But really, those guys, and others, have been involved with the club's finances and legal stuff much longer than I have and anything I know about the legal side I have learned from the lawyers on here, anyway. Credit to them. I contribute when I have something to share from my own experience. That's all. But thanks for the compliment.
