PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[GaudinoMotors]

I think this is one of the fundamental misunderstandings that's happening. Arsenal, Everton, Brighton etc haven't done anything wrong re shareholder loans as the current rules (that City voted for btw) state that shareholder loans don't bear interest.

City have subsequently challenged this (and had this challenge upheld) meaning that moving forward this rule is likely to be amended. At that points clubs will need to comply with it but that's only after an amendment is made. At the present moment it's perfectly legal - I suspect it won't be after the rules get amended (assuming 60% of PL clubs vote for it - they may also decide not to of course).

But being such paragons of virtue, it's somewhat at odds with them then wanting City, and others, highly regulated and litigated. Sponsorship deals bad - money out of dodgy trousers, good.

Had talksport on this morning. Dean Saunders was singing the Wrexham ownership from the rooftops. They want to build a 55 thousand seater stadium. (Wrexham population 44 thousand) he was saying it was amazing their owner pumping his own money into the club and what a fantastic story it was. So why aren’t we hearing the Wrexham project is cheating. Sports washing? Think we all know the answer! They’ll be in the prem soon but it will all be fine as it’s a Hollywood story

After reading the entire APT ruling I was struck by the witness statements of the PL executives Mai Fyfield and Jamie Herbert. All very defensive and not too accusatory, mostly about justification of the APT framework and the process used to reject our sponsorship deals. Fyfield got to mention how hard she had worked to ensure our FMVs were knocked back, sometimes she even started work at 6am, bless, and one night she worked till after midnight. What martyrdom.
The contrast with the 115/130 hearing will be stark, because the same people will be 100% on the attack. It will be mind blowing if Fyfield and Herbert gave witness statements where they accuse the owners, executives and employees of City of a criminal conspiracy lasting over nine years. Will they accuse City's CAS2020 witnesses of committing perjury and will they tetsity that HHSMs affidavit also submitted at CAS2020 was false. This going to get very very serious.

You can more or less spend what you want until you get to the Championship. Then the financial rules kick in.

Fyfield clearly was well received by the panel members............

"Ms. Fyfield was a good witness. She was candid and engaged with the crossexaminer."

Supports what has been said by others that witness statements trump documents
