PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

halfcenturyup said:
Very interesting. I just downloaded the handbook from the PL website and it's the July handbook without any of the changes approved by the clubs in November. Last week you could download the new amended version.

Does this mean it's been withdrawn? Because if it has, all hell is about to break loose ......

Can somebody else try to see which version they get?

OK, so nobody else seems to be interested in this, so I checked again.

The handbook on the PL website is definitely the July version without the changes made in November to make the rules "lawful". So the new amended version, which was posted last week, has been removed.

Of course, this could just be a mistake by PL (likely I suppose): either posting the amended version in error last week, or removing the link to the amended version in error this week.

Or, it could mean the FA haven't approved the amended rules yet, which would already be unusual.

Or, and bear with me, the tribunal has agreed with City that the APT rules as a whole are unlawful and so the amended rules had to be taken down. The consequences of that would be total victory for City in the APT case and total chaos for the PL.

Let's wait and see what happens.

Can someone summarize any new developments for us poor dumbards?

I'll try!

In last years annual report, City made a note on their accounts that these charges could have an impact on their financial statements within the next 12 months. Could being the key word here, as my guess is that this time last year there wasn't as much clarity around the whole case/situation.

In this years annual report they've removed this which you could read as a positive, as from an audit point of view, auditors wouldn't sign their accounts off unless they were comfortable with them removing this from the notes on their accounts.

Realistically, IF City were more than likely to receive a significant penalty, which would materially impact the next 12 months, they'd have had to leave a note within their accounts (a caveat to the numbers if you will).

This is a fairly dumbed down version, but I appreciate it may still be a bit annoying for someone who doesn't really follow a businesses finances!

You could add the dippers to that list.
Though they were caught but not punished.
We all know they failed ffp but wasn’t punished cos they were too shit to qualify for Europe that year.
Hacking another rivals scouting database - again no punishment.
There’s also the plans for their imaginary new stadium that cost £50m.
I’m also still waiting for united to be charged by the premier league for failing UEFA FFP since we have.
Must be great being part of a cartel.
 
IF it isn't just a mistake, or City just showing confidence, what would this mean with regards to the various punishments?

Points deduction.. would that be a concern?
Fine?
Being relegated obviously would.

Also, does this assume that our punishment has been given and City hierarchy are aware? Seems unlikely unfortunately.
