PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[jollylescott]

I think the final part is interesting.

Either the PL has City bang to rights, or this is some major hail mary play.

My gut feeling is the latter.

 

[Chi-town blues]

ffs sounds like corrupt fa is running out of money and who do they turn to when in need of money? yes you guessed it .
Come on city lawyer the fuck up.

 

[TheKippaxM14Blue]

have you seen the state of some of these charges. weve alledgedly broken these two ....

K.20. The height of the pitch grass shall not exceed 30mm and the entire playing surface
must be cut to the same height. The grass shall be cut so as to display straight,
parallel lines across the entire width of the pitch, perpendicular to the touchlines. No
other form of pitch presentation (such as circular or diagonal patterns) is permitted.

K.12. Each Club shall provide accommodation capable of being used as a drug-testing
room which shall be near the Players’ and Match Officials’ dressing rooms and
inaccessible to the public and media.

I imagine the Premier league rulebook changes every year so unlikely those numbers are correct for 2009/10

'Replay Matches'

Let us replay every match from the past 10 years, all the original players involved. I reckon David Silva would still run rings around them.

We'll forfeit Spurs away though.

Wouldn't mind replaying the champions league final, with Rodri in the team. Knowing Pep, he'd probably pick the same team.

 

[argyle]

Throw enough shot at it and some of it will stick!
I’ll be interested to see such a focused investigation on all other clubs

They would have to have evidence of concealed payments to managers and players. I doubt they have that.

I feel they will be able to prove non-compliance.

 

[Bluesince1979]

No was at theirs. Should have rubbed their noses in it. Oh well.

It was at home. Pogba played a worldy second half

 

[BoyBlue_1985]

I dont worry about these things until I have heard from @Prestwich_Blue

 

[TheThirdDeano]

So what do we do when this independent committee headed by an Arsenal board member finds us guilty on all counts?

Never forget those cunts gave the stationary for the original letter, how fitting those fuckers are involved now

 

[Brewster's millions]

It's what loads of us have been saying on here for years, you can't appease bullies. We've tried everything to appease them, to be accepted into their little gang only to be kicked in the nuts every single time.

It’s a fine line between playing the long game and letting people take the piss out of you, but I feel we’ve been on the wrong side of it recently.

Hopefully today refocuses a few minds at the club and marks the turning point.

So its probably very old stuff like the first big sponsor deals then.. might be tough to disprove though, and how do you even do that, its all so arbitrary.

 

[Jesus H Gabz]

Maybe it’s time we got our cock & balls out regarding our financials and challenged others to do the same as part of the new regulators remit, they’d soon look the other way

 

[doobyedoobye]

I’d be very surprised if we had been playing by a different set of rules to the rest of the Prem….

 

[Zenmanc]

At least we get a distraction from the constant slagging off of the team and players which has been so much fun for so many here the last month or so.

K.12 is “Full details of a Player's remuneration including all benefits to which he is entitled whether in cash or in kind shall be set out in his contract.”

And K.20 is “Particulars of any Image Contract Payment in respect of the Player shall be set out in the contract with his Club.”

'Independent'

How the fuck is that independent?

 

[ScottSinclair]

Can't believe what we have been doing for the last 13 years is more criminal to football than what we served up under Stuart Pearce

 

[Stevieatlasblue]

Im not worrying now. Just rang me dad about it. He said ,”itll all be bollocks”

Ps he has no financial or legal knowledge

I want your dad to be my dad

 

[M18CTID]

Should just join Perez and his super league. This’ll never go away and it’s better to be out of it all.

I wish people would stop using this as an excuse to join the ESL. It was a shit idea at the time and is still a shit idea now!

 

[tolmie's hairdoo]

We’re 100% going to get done. They’ve been out to get us for years it’s gonna happen eventually.

I've 100 per cent been wanting to win the lottery for years...

Still nothing.
