PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

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.

The new version is out albeit the publications page is not updated. The FA did approve the changes.

No she isn't (well OK, she may be a bit), she's monetised the platform by showing a bit of cleavage and appealing to opposing fans. That's how pathetic "social media" is I'm afraid.

She talks well about United and their performances / problems actually (sometimes Tor ten min nutes without breathing). Certainly as well as any other YouTube "commentator". Good luck to her. As long as she leaves City alone. The **** :)

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.

As I understand it the punishment, if we are found guilty, will be decided later. So even if City have been told that they lost, they would not know the penalty and these accounts should include the same note as the last two years.
However, if City are confident that they have been cleared and the auditors are convinced by it, then that might explain the note being removed.
Wishful thinking, I know!

But the publications page was updated last week wasn't it? I am sure I saw July 2024 updated December 2024.

Or was I dreaming that?

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!

They've simply moved it to the "Risks and Uncertainties" section. I don't think we can read anything into it myself.

It appears that Nick Harris, as is his way, wishes to pollute the narrative with the stench of 'we know they're guilty but it's proving it that is the issue'. This keeps the atmosphere around the club a negative one, and feeds the fans of the cartel with the information they need. It is for this reason that I feel that any failure of the PL to find guilt needs to be come with a boatload of PR from the club finally ending the matter.

Nah, would prefer law suits to PR personally…more effective and lets people know what happens when they take us on.
