PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[Jazzman]

What amazes me is that nobody ever puts it to carragher, scholes etc that they themselves despite having clearly limited intelligence have managed to become multi millionaires simply by having the talent to kick a ball and take advantage of the opportunities presented to them, why do they find it so impossible that people with vastly superior intelligence and connections that give far greater opportunities would be able to earn much much larger fortunes?

Well, you answered your own question in the first sentence. They are of limited intelligence.

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.

& yet the club is calm as fuck, what does that tell you.

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

Wasn't there a BBC panorama program that claimed to expose clubs and mangers in the early 2000s. ferguson, redknapp allardyce were all rumoured to be in involved along with the rags cayman island accounts, but it was seems to have been swept under the carpet by the fa and premier league shortly after (seems to be a recurring theme where the rags and dodgy dealings are involved.

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 :-)

Apart from we got away with it...

Sadly we will always be guilty in the eyes of the desperately bitter red cartel types.

Let's hope we don't fold then

Could you imagine if that city fan on the overlap said to carragher and that liverpool fan "your the last set of supporters to assume guilt"

“No way everyone had tickets in Paris!”

Buying Portuguese tramps for £20m. Why didn’t they answer the questions?

That’s all Jordon and Carragher do is shout over people. Carragher will crack a joke at the end to get everyone to laugh so it’s even harder to argue your point with him. Proper bully tactics that

Either that or spit at you.

That proper 'business people' don't run from a frivolous challenge, just hike up their knickers and get on with it.

Didn’t they pay off Giggs mum’s mortgage when he left us for Ragworld?
