PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[James Morgan]

That's my worry.

Take the points deduction for this season as worst case. Surely they can't take away titles already won by docking points retrospectively for each season?

If it’s in the rules, and we have apparently broken those rules? Live and die by the sword unfortunately.

If we accept that these latest allegations are part of a wider witch hunt, why would Chelsea get a free pass?

Because they have American owners and not "oil money"

 

[SWP's back]

We didn't win at CAS, 2-1 the ruling in our favour basically said that the murder we committed happened a long time ago and therefore not merited considering (in legal terms). The PL had to act after this government regulator bullshit and we were the obvious target. Was Sheffield United the only team who didn't want to gang up against us a few seasons ago and it might rain shit on them now in the midst of their proposed takeover.

That’s also fucking bollocks.

This place is absolutely full of fuckers that obviously didn’t actually read the CAS report but simply parrot Nick Harris and any refs they’re mates with. Jog the fuck on as you’re talking to City fans that are actually well read on the subject.

In all the noise about these new allegations, we should take a moment to stop and remember that the FFP rules we are alleged to have broken, were corrupt to the core in the first place.

Utterly ridiculous that any owner should not be allowed to invest in order to build their business.

I think unfortunately that ship has sailed. We should have taken the legal route when it was introduced, no way that would hold up in a proper court. If we've broken the rules that we have agreed to then we've got no argument.

Praise the Lord, Typical City is alive and well

Maybe this is why Pep has been out of sorts recently?

No.

It looks like the club had no idea this would happen today.

 

[Centurions]

This point is bollocks.

The club has haf 14 years to challenge the legality of Financial Fair Play.

They've chosen not to, and signed agreements to follow those rules, so they deserve to be punished for breaking them.

True about challenging FFP but I presume you mean IF we broke them?

Burning all the old accounts sheets. Lol

Most of this shit goes back more than 6 years.
We would be fully entitled to claim that we have absolutely no records going back to those years.

If the club is considered to be fully private then we could cull everything after 3 years.

Outside these retention dates we have submitted audited and approved accounts. Thats all thats required!

Go on lads, get the shredders going!
