PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[Sleeping_Easy]

UAE: Good afternoon Rishi, I hear the Premier League are trying to shaft us with a pineapple?

Rishi: Yes I’m afraid the club have breached financial rules.

UAE: Did we mention that the price of oil is to be increased by 100%?

Rishi: Oh….I’ll sort it.

UAE: Obliged.

Rishi couldn't sort a piss up in a brewery

Anyone remember this? I seem to recall that Sugar took it to arbitration and got most of the more serious punishments such as the 12 point penalty and the FA Cup participation ban overturned:

FA penalty hits Spurs for millions

TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR last night received the heaviest punishment handed out by the Football Association. They were deducted 12 points from next season's Premiership total, banned from the FA Cup for the same season, and fined pounds 600,000 as well as being ordered to pay the costs of yesterday's...

I think that was pound notes in the safe operation. Bungs for transfers etc.

I seem to remember when UEFA announced its investigation and subsequent sanction we released a statement immediately. Not this time - I wonder why?

Maybe because this is going to an actual court namely the high court?

 

[geek24601]

Still no statement from the club. Must have taken them by surprise as they would normally have a draft ready to go as soon as the story breaks.

What's the worse that can possibly happen?
Relegation to League 2?
Is there anyone here who will stop supporting the club?
Fuck it, I'll support it more. Will probably be able to afford the Tunnel Club as all the corporates and tourists will fuck off, and we'll be sponsored by Hyde's Brewery or something.
6-7 years and we'll be back in the PL.
Fuck the lot of them. The PL and the Cartel Clubs are 20 times more corrupt than City has been or ever will be. And don't start me on PiGMOL and the gambling syndicates. All bent as nine bob notes.

Guys is it as simple to try and match these rules breaks up to this document?

https://resources.premierleague.com/premierleague/document/2022/07/19/40085fed-1e9e-4c33-9f14-0bcf57857da2/PL_Handbook_2022-23_DIGITAL_18.07.pdf

So b13 is something to do with the reporting of meetings

E3 - delivering accounts on time?

E11 - providing P&L accounts by March for the next season

This is very high level but we could maybe break down if some of these are simple admin errors?

I think the rules and references change each year, so you’d need to go back to the relevant set of rules for each year’s offences.

Pep always said he believes the people in charge of the club on this matter and more or less said he’d walk if they’d lied to him. For him to be recently sticking up for us in the pressers must give us some hope as there’s no way he wouldn’t have known what was coming.

 

[James Morgan]

So many people on here don’t understand that unfortunately and will accuse you of everything under the sun if you don’t agree with them or blindly support and applaud everything City do!

The worst is immediately being called a rag because you dare to criticise the club or any player, in any way.

 

[citytill1die84]

To see if there is any real news instead of insane rambling??

Then this forum isn't for u :) check online for real news it's much easier

 

[argyle]

I think some of you would love for Pep to be gone.

 

[Cricket Blue]

The collateral damage is the worst thing
It's very upsetting to be honest now

 

[Keeper!]

 

[Don Karleone]

Close but no cigar!

 

[Constantine]

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

So, you come here to hint (threaten) about stripped titles. Don't get too carried away, you might fall and break your Arsenal.

So many people on here don’t understand that unfortunately and will accuse you of everything under the sun if you don’t agree with them or blindly support and applaud everything City do!

But you don’t know what they’ve been accused of & it’s not the first time we’ve been targeted.

 

[AlexWilliamsGloves]

Are you having a fuckin laugh????

 

[BigJoe#1]

It doesn’t take 4 years without announcing, I’m deeply suspicious but it makes sense why we’ve been refereed the way we have.

Says it all IMO.

Super serious.... super stitch up.

They (the footballing authorities) have been chomping at the bit for ages waiting for this moment. It's all been so quiet for so long, that in itself tells me there was a group action with the main protagonists being the "inevitable ones".

All I can say is look out Newcastle... and whilst we're at, Chel$ki?

 

[BlueMoonRisin’]

I wasn't going to renew my ST but if we get relegated I'll 100% be there!

So will i mate. I'm not looking forward to that happening but i followed us through all the relegation/promotion years and I'll do it again if i have to.

Birds of a feather stick together - as they say

 

[waspish]

Barrister Murray Rosen KC will chair independent commission and can appoint other members of panel. Big united fan I hear home and away… joking

Don’t matter who they are if they love watching football and have a team he will be bias the football bias that’s ingrained in you and all common sense goes out the window especially with the narrative towards our club last 10/12 years..
