PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

Doesn’t tell us much other than his anus is twitching.

Hamster must have woken.

And PwC, who advised UEFA that Aabar and Etisalat were classified as 'related parties.

Given that PWC were being paid by UEFA, they would say that wouldn't they?

IAS 24 also says: "The following are deemed not to be related: [IAS 24.11]
- two entities simply because they have a director or key manager in common"

The fact that Sheikh Mansour chaired the entity that owned Aabar & Etisalat does not necessarily make them related parties to Manchester City. PWC would have needed to understand the full nature of HHSM's involvement in those companies to understand whether he exercised a sufficient level of influence and control over them. I doubt they did.

If only BDO had access to Google

To be fair, they didn't when I worked for them.

Yes, but that was before that tinterweb thing came out.

What I am saying is the PL has the power to accept exceptional losses which may clear a club that otherwise would almost definitely fail psr.
They also have the authority to dismiss such claims where they wish.

No other club has been subject to such scrutiny going back 16 years coupled with an orchestrated media smear campaign. The PL leadership has acted with bad faith. They treat City differently to most other clubs.

I’m on 80% My beloved City will receive no punishment because we are innocent, but there is a 20% chance that the there will be some punishment? What is the majority view?

If every other club got treated and scrutinised the same as us we could hold our hands up and say fair enough.
But when blatant cover ups and negative news about the red cartel clubs get hush hushed and watered down then you know something isn't right.
When the red mardarses got that fine every single media outlet couldn't tell us quick enough it was a minor breach and fine.

This unfortunately is what we've been up against for years and I think khaldoon has finally got his balls out and retaliated.

Given what we have seen in all areas of life in this country for decades none of us should be surprised by the way we have been treated. But even a cynic like me has been surprised by the sheer level of corruption we have seen from our commercial rivals and their pals in the media.

Stefan made reference to it on Talksport.

His comments did not attract a discussion on the matter, they quickly brought said carpet into the room.

Yep.. they (talksport) had United on the phone to get Stefan to say in his next slot that United did nothing wrong with the allowances, But Stefan also said how Arsenal who gets 60.000 at home games could only get around £2million in allowances in the PSR ruling,

Again, Not one Club complained to the Premier League or Asked about the figures united has been allowed
Covid 19 allowances were 20times more than the rest, as for the legal feed with the sale of B shares to Jim that should not be allowed and the Glazers or Jim should be paying for legal fees themself

95% we won’t get any punishment, 5% the fuckers come up with some snide way of tar & feathering us with some bs charges
