PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[smithy extra]

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

Better chance than 80% will go for that

Better chance than 80% will go for that

Defo, in imho of course

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?

100% on the non cooperation nonsense but fuck all else.

Allows them to justify the investigation and allows the man in the street enough to say “cunts, just couldn’t prove it” and for it to ever hang over us.

Tbh I’d be fucking delighted with this outcome.

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

They didn’t make or ask me to say anything. I merely explained (as I would about any club including say Chelsea) that it not the club’s responsibility to make sure the rules make sense. All clubs’ responsibility is to themselves. They are all entitled to push the rules hard - if the PL accepted United’s numbers, United have done nothing wrong. Similarly with Chelsea and the hotels.

Just to be completely clear, TalkSport have never asked me say anything at all either way. It’s a completely open forum for me to answer as I wish. In fact, they have never even hinted at a direction they would like me to go.

It was before computers came out!

So the Premier League would accept any clubs claims for allowances no matter how large and suspicious unless they had some reason not to ? And other clubs are not asking questions of other clubs ?

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.

Not sure UEFA paid works well as an argument given City pay BDO!!
