PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

FFS at least put this in the joke thread so we know what to expect.

Lavinda Past will be all over that.

If you don't like paying costs, don't bring lawyers into the equation. Especially not anyone over the rank of solicitor, and they are expensive enough.

Football managed for well over 100 years without all these fucking complicated financial regulations that no fucker understands. Once you need to start instructing KCs and their ilk to resolve questions you are essentially writing a cheque for ££££££££££££££s.

This legalistic approach to what is a game is a bit silly, quite frankly. The rules need to be massively simplified and their meaning should be obvious to all, not a mystery wrapped in an enigma. If the rules can't be understood by a reasonably intelligent layman, they are too complex.

Mansour and Khaldoon are not bothered about legal costs, they will simply hire the best and go to town on everybody who has tried to ruin our great club !!!

This is interesting:

"Sources have told Football Insider the Premier League could now propose new rules are brought in [after the 115 case] to ensure the majority of its legal fees are paid for by a club if they are proven to have committed a financial breach."

Maybe they could better put themselves in a position that they don't have to keep charging clubs with "financial" offences .....

Sounds like blackmail to me, where they are forcing a club to plea bargain

Maybe they should also write in that the Prem will pay and not the clubs when they make a mess of charging someone (like the Leicester case). That way the Prem organisation would quickly slide into administration and could be bought by Fred Karno Circus Clown Enterprises Ltd.
