PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[ancoats]

Really??

The Glazers couldn't find their own backsides in an arse kicking competition. They haven't won a title for 12 years, due to their shambolic mismanagement, lack of experience, lack of judgement, weak ownership, non existent leadership and a complete lack of direction.

They rarely ever visited the UK, and appointed company stooges from the Banking industry to run the club. This is an asset stripping exercise, pure and simple.

And you think that these are the same guys that are pulling all the strings???

This is quite frankly laughable and preposterous.

So why do they still generate more money from the Premier League than us, Their games are shown live every week and still the most talked about club on Skysports, The Glazers will not give a fuck about winning the title when they are still earning more than the rest from the league,

It's all about past glories and so-called history that is what they are trying to protect, They don't want Manchester City to end up with a better history and records than them in the next 20 years. Manchester City are building a legacy that going to be 2nd to none

Well, this narrative that a 'red cartel'/'PL cabal' assembled in an under ground bunker, and created FFPR to stop Arab owners, could not be further from the truth. The Glazers, Gillet & Hicks, Kroenke & Lerner did not want anyone snooping around in their financials, especially after saddling those clubs with huge debts from LBO's and asset stripping for their own financial gain. And Arsenal had just spent 1 billion on a new stadium. Abramovic was definitely not in favour of financial regulation, either.

FFPR came from France and Germany. It was not created here. The only reason why it was adopted so wholeheartedly by the PL, was to stop their prized assets from being bought out by American businessmen and hedge funds trying to make a quick buck. They feared that if enough American owners could get a strangle hold over the league, then the possibility of a European Super league would be unstoppable. And it almost did happen. FFPR was the only thing that they could use to put them off. They also tried to get a law passed that LBO's had to be approved by the minister for sport.

Mods this **** needs burying immediately.

It means anything older than six years from February 2023 is time limited unless fraud or concealment are involved. So it's good.

Great!! Thanks for clarifying. It gets more complex each 100 pages :-)

I don't know if this means anything at all in relation to our case, it might be irrelevant, but just felt it's worth adding as he chaired our hearing which is currently awaiting a verdict.

Edit - it was a five year tenure which is ending in the new year. So nothing out of the ordinary. Still worthy of adding to discussion, perhaps.

You'd imagine his tenure will be extended unless our case is entirely concluded?

Whilst you are no doubt correct in identifying the rags, I'm not convinced that they are actually the worst culprits behind the attacks on the club.

I suspect the dippers, gooners and the perennial failures spurs are all more active in their attacks on us.

The rags get money hand over fist courtesy of the millions of braindeads who throw money at them simply because they see them as the club to follow.

The dippers are the same but we already know that from their past antics they seek to be as successful in terms of winning things , hacking and I suspect many more underhand machinations .

The gooners need to try and match our success on the pitch so are desperate to nullify us if possible.

But the most desperate and therefore driven in the cabal are surely fucking spurs with Daniel Levy and their crooked owner Joe Lewis or whoever supposedly owns them.

These are the real driver who will be pushing lackies like Masters imo, because of the need for a higher profile of success and therefore income.

Have hated them since their fucking mid-week wembley win, and nothing they have done or achieved ( or more like not-achieved ) has changed my opinions of the club or their fans. Entitled and deluded beyond belief.

Of course I could be wrong.............

I agree with this. It's in uniteds interest for City to be a strong team, they are our local rivals. We shine a spotlight on eachother. Gill definitely hated us though and threw some spanners in the works for us from his UEFA job.

That's how I remember it. Iirc, it was first dreamed up by Platini with the noble aim of increasing sustainability by regulating debt. But he got beaten down by the big clubs, including but not limited to Bayern and United, to restricting investment and stopping another Chelsea. Which morphed into stopping City, and then much later Newcastle, when it was introduced in England.

As far as I’m aware, it’s the G14’s way of trying to protect their assets through legislation, in an attempt to cement said 14 clubs at the top of the pyramid forever

Fuck knows what this Citi Leaks guy is on about?

Sounds like something Chat gpt might say

Come on…..we’ve not had a pet to play with on here for a while ;)

I think that just about every other club in the PL could well be on the end of 'one or two' landed punches. Try naming one where honesty, fairness or ethics are high up enough to gain public admiration. It doesn't exist in business, let alone this game, and in a culture where even senior Royals or clergy are not immune from public outing then there is no reason to believe that the other 19 EPL clubs are paragons of virtue either.

Well if the hearing goes against us let's hope that we have enough shit on other clubs and the PL itself to bring the whole fucking thing down around its ears. If other clubs can get access to our emails, scouting systems and whatever else, I'm sure that we have been doing the same and with the amount of money at our disposal, this could be some really serious and more covert digging around than the dippers and the rest of the cartel could ever imagine. This could end up being more catastrophic damage wise for those who have in for us than what they could do to us themselves. The gloves would certainly be off and we would be up for the fight no doubt.

Gill was one of very, very few who recognised the threat from Sheikh Mansour and City and set his rag hat at destroying us by any means possible.

Evil in plain sight !!
