PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[pudge]

My boss is another one of these "it's impossible City turn over more revenue than United etc" folk, shockingly a United fan too

Roll on when we win this case, social media will go into total meltdown & it's going to be one hell of a piss boiling day haha
Opposing supporters brains will be fried & they'll have naff all to chuck at us, what a day that's going to be :-)

It will be the best day since the takeover day

It only starts to make a difference if I ask them about Munich families or pre match Hillsborough.

Most of them know little about current events and nothing about historic ones !!

Just Imagine what a four year deep dive into the financial dodgy dealings during Fergusons era would dredge up. Strip the titles

With all those massive Thursday Cup nights at OT

Mica Richards can't tie his own shoe laces.

We probably need 3/4 experienced, professional and knowlegeable, broadcasters to represent the club.

We don't need cheerleaders, we need objective, pragmatic and authorative football/sports broadcast 'journalists' .

There's much to do to stop the tide ...and more to do to turn it !!

Nedum, Michael Brown or Shay Given would all fight our corner better than Mr Laughing Gas

Joe Hart seems to have his head screwed on as well.

Thought 2 years at Celtic would have poisoned his mind but he seems to have survived relatively unscathed

And on this week of middle aged men yearning for the 90s, we're going to talk about the Keane v Vieira rivalry again

Today we had white rimming Butt and the class of 92. I've never seen anyone go to the toilet more than Butt. Read anything in to that

What a load of sh*t that was, 8 minutes of my life wasted.

yep - me too

Nothing of substance at all

In our latest accounts we had record revenues of just over £700m and yet only made £80m in profit. Of that £700m, £300m of it was broadcast revenue, the majority, for being in the PL and reaching the final of the CL. These revenues would disappear overnight. That wipes out the profit and gives us an approx. £200m black hole.

The leagues below the PL also have FFP/PSR, so if we go down there, we would have similar rules to abide by but with a much lower turnover. We would be looking for players earning £10kp/w not £300kp/w. It would be a fire-sale and if after all that, we could somehow scrape a side together that could get promoted, we would be back in the PL at a starting point similar to just before the Mansour takeover but now with rules in place that would make a similar investment in players and subsequent rise through the PL almost impossible.

The club will always go in in some shape or form, of that I am certain. However, this current Manchester City, this behemoth of a club, would IMO be effectively finished by a guilty verdict.

I know that sounds pessimistic and possibly overly dramatic but that’s how it feels to me. I pray I am miles wide of the mark.

We could sell 2 players to make up that lost revenue and still have the best squad in the country.
