You mean we'll become the NBA? LOL...City have become one of the most profitable clubs in the world. Even if what they did was wrong (it wasn't) isn't that a surefire sign that the rules are completely fucked up? In what world would a league institute rules that make it impossible for teams to increase their profits, build their brands and attract world-class talent to their league? Football existed for decades without these FFP rules that they instituted specifically to stop City from crashing their old-boys club. If this is what they're going to do they should be made to enforce these rules for every other team, make them all stop spending big money and drive every talented player out of the PL. Hell, bring them all to MLS and let it become the biggest league in the world. Just watch as we completely change the game once we realize there is more money to be maid. We'll have commercial breaks every 20 minutes, no relegation so teams will sandbag to maximize profits, playoffs after the schedule is played with almost every team qualifying, unlimited subs w/ re-entry and timeouts.
Loans still count as owner investment, FFP allows for a certain level of owner investment but it’s only about £30m per season, or over three seasons - can’t remember whichAnd this is why I am baffled, why would we need to supposedly inflate sponsorship when we could have just asked the owner for a loan of £100 million.
Now now you two - can’t you play fucking draughts or something.You'll have a job lol.
A process that would ignore "irrefutable evidence" would be faulty...No. That is an appeal of the verdict. To get to court we would have to allege faulty process.
Imagine starting a business but you can’t invest your own money. This rule is exclusive to man city only.Im really confused with how much an owner can put into a club, it;s the situation at Chelsea that is throwing me, how can RA have loaned them in the region of £1.5Billion and then it just be written off?
Who's this Guardialo bloke?Like a few on here, I stopped watching pressers, ‘pundits’, listening to the radio or any opinion pieces anywhere, be it print or media, years ago.
Was going into a meeting today and decided to catch a bit of the presser on City’s site. I’m glad I made that decision.
If he can come out swinging for the club dearest to my heart, I see no reason why I shouldn’t back the man through all highs and lows.
Thank you Mr Josep Guardialo!
Yeah , you can’t start the same shop as your bigger neighbour because it’s unfair for our future revenue - in the real world it’s a case of “fuck you” if I go on to make my business better than yours that’s your fucking problem.Imagine starting a business but you can’t invest your own money. This rule is exclusive to man city only.
I wouldn't use the term 'written off' - I understand that he didn't want it paying back which makes it a gift. Is a gift the same as owner's equity?Im really confused with how much an owner can put into a club, it;s the situation at Chelsea that is throwing me, how can RA have loaned them in the region of £1.5Billion and then it just be written off?
Done like a kipper then....Twatt Ziegler, Times Online one hour ago… ‘Man City owners may be forced out if charges proven.’
I’m not adding a link and its behind a paywall.
I speculated a day or so ago that this would be the PL end game. Find enough reasonable doubt and subsequently declare our owners not fit and proper.
Its a stitch up guv
Exactly. It's the very definition of due process. It's what due process exists for.A process that would ignore "irrefutable evidence" would be faulty...
And this is why I am baffled, why would we need to supposedly inflate sponsorship when we could have just asked the owner for a loan of £100 million.
I’d be amazed if we hadn’t been doing this for years… certainly since we discovered the victims committing theft of data offences that could have even them having to start from the lowest league in English football whilst operating as a separate legal entity to the one that claims to be self made whilst having bought their way out of the old second div with money from outside the game, with supporters who murder Italians, drop paving stones on Bulgarian waiter’s heads, continually rush turnstiles and continually behave like sub-human throw backs (hello lurkers)The club should hire a raft of private detectives to investigate the fuck out of the usual cheating suspects. The jealous twat likes of the Red Scouse and the perpetually failing Spuds to start with. Let's see how pure and driven as the white snow their accounting looks like.
You forgot pushing innocent tourists into fountainsI’d be amazed if we hadn’t been doing this for years… certainly since we discovered the victims committing theft of data offences that could have even them having to start from the lowest league in English football whilst operating as a separate legal entity to the one that claims to be self made whilst having bought their way out of the old second div with money from outside the game, with supporters who murder Italians, drop paving stones on Bulgarian waiter’s heads, continually rush turnstiles and continually behave like sub-human throw backs (hello lurkers)
Ffp is the biggest scam that we have witnessed in our lifetime. They contradict themselves and move goal post as they see fit. According to them ,Premise of ffp is to save clubs running into mud with debt and bankruptcy But you can’t invest your own funds. How drowning in debt is Sustainable is beyond me.Or even better. Why did we not just flood the club with debt. It is acceptable after all.
Oh no we would rather create a nationwide scandal and deceive the accounts. The accusations get sillier and sillier under any sort of scrutiny.
