PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[Dogtanian]

Feel sick, we can really do without this.

Fuck em Sharon, We'll be fine

 

[SWPISHOME]

Premier League confirm "Agueroooooooo shot actually hit the side netting".

Tyler "That Rooney goal was enough for all three points and the title".

 

[Don Karleone]

Can we protest like the rags do ?

 

[Jesus H Gabz]

Don’t know why but I’ve just had the unnerving feeling that Gary Cook is involved somehow, he’d know where the initial bodies are buried, given the charges stretch back to his time, and now he’s got a job with the Saudis, perfect timing for the barcodes, and full protection from the Saudi regime when he turns star witness…..I do love a conspiracy theory

This is the point that gets consistently lost. I would assume that City will now chalkenge the whole FFP charade as being an anti-competitive illegal construct introduced in bad-faith by a cartel.

This point is bollocks.

The club has haf 14 years to challenge the legality of Financial Fair Play.

They've chosen not to, and signed agreements to follow those rules, so they deserve to be punished for breaking them.

Take it to the high Court and take this rotten to the core organisation down City.

The worst thing about this now is it it’ll take 2 years to come to a conclusion with the possible appeals etc

 

[Manx Blue]

Wankers.

Looking forward to how the club respond.

Should sue for defamation.

As the auditors surely would????

To me, if this has happened its a major collusion. However, i don't think City or our auditors would want to experience any reputational damage.

The way I read it is that it is:
"Further breaches related to rules requiring full details of "manager remuneration".

These were related to the 2009-10 to 2012-13 seasons, when Roberto Mancini was in charge."

Does that mean we were paying Bobby Manc too much? Or not paying Pep enough?

I can't remember the details but there were reports a couple of years ago something to the effect that Mancini got his salary from City, but he also got a seperate sum for being a 'consultant' coach at a club in AD. That payment didn't come from City, but presumably the PL's allegation would be that it was effectively a concealed bung.

Beyond delusional. They've taken four years to charge us, they've clearly got evidence.

There is a long way from evidence to guilt. Don’t assume anything.
