PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[M18CTID]

Yes. Apprarently abiding by UEFA FFP is one of the Premeir League's rules. We've been charged for not doing that in 2013-2018, and charged for not complying with the investigation from 2018-2023.

In respect of each of Seasons 2013/14 to 2017/18 inclusive, the Premier League Rules applicable in those Seasons requiring a member club to comply with UEFA’s regulations, including UEFA’s Club Licensing and Financial Fair Play Regulations, namely:​

(a) for Season 2013/14, Premier League Rule B.14.6; and​

(b) for Seasons 2014/15 to 2017/18 inclusive, Premier League Rule B.15.6.​

Ok, thanks. So if we won that one at CAS, there's nothing stopping us winning that one again. I'm actually more concerned about the substance of all the other charges

One other thing just occurred to me.
Utd and Liverpool are up for sale.
Feels like keeping the PL anti City agenda going might be to the benefit of current and potentail future owners.
Interesting timing with formal bids for Utd being lodged this week.

You’ve heard that on sspn’s the exact figures they quoted don’t lie

No… I’m sat in work so haven’t heard anything. It’s how amortisation works ina P&L

 

[The perfect fumble]

No worries, we've got our best man on it....

 

[Keeper!]

Is it possible there is no conspiracy, and you could be guilty of the charges?

Really disappointing if true. Especially as all clubs sign on to commit to FFP, and if indeed Man City were not being forthright whilst everyone else was.........tut tut tut.

Liverpool Echo is already in overdrive asking from a couple of league titles they think now belongs to them

 

[MCFC1993]

I think this is the most frustrating thing, innocent or guilty this thing is going to be hovering over us for years.

 

[hilts]

Christ, if this holds up we'll have something like a 3 year transfer ban. Won't be able to sign anyone.

We are destined never to have a left full back

 

[jaiguruKun]

Again we have to go through this ?

This is going to make CAS look like a parking ticket by comparison..

Not his first rodeo by the looks of things...​

​

This is further cause for concern. The person pushing through these charges is not some disgraced fromer Prime Minister of Belgium now on UEFA's teat, or some career football beurocrat. This guy is a genuine expert in the field he's operating in.

I'm confused. Is he the head of the investigation, or the commission?

 

[blue by birth]

I've not read all the comments on here but have skimmed through a lot of them..my opinion is nobody really knows if the charges will be proven or not.
If the worse comes to happen and we are found guilty and get demoted a division or two and points reduction too boot..then we need to stick together and keep renewing our season tickets and show our support for the club we love.
Fuck me we have been in lower divisions before and we still followed our team everywhere...yeah lots of us FOCs have seen the shit times before but it will be a novelty to our newer generation of followers..we will soon find out who the true blues are and who are the ones who only want to follow a club winning trophies and getting to see world class players.
We need to get behind the lads even more now..
Fuck the shit stirring history cunts ..
City till we die
