PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[chesterbells]

Just looked at Daniel Levy connections.
He is on the board of the ECA (European Club Association) whos Chair is Nasser Al-Khelaifi and comes far Qatar. He owns PSG and did have talks with Levy, apparently, re investment in Spurs. When Martin Edwards left his seat on the ECA board, both Levy and our own Ferran Soriano applied for the seat. Levy got it, with the backing of, Utd, Liverpool and Arsenal. There's a surprise. At one time he was on the UEFA Professional Football Strategy Council, not sure if he still is.

Yeah, it’s petty moves like that which are used to try and block our way to influence and connections

skeletons inside his closet must be overflowing.

It’ll be ‘time barred’

No time bar in Premier League

Sky News sports news correspondent I think.
With appointments like him and Reddy, the Sky organisation really are outdoing themselves in terms of sports recruitment.

Incredible the decline in our lifetime.
When you see the old "Big Match" reruns for example and the quality, honest awkward and probing interviews and intelligent responses - and now!

Rob Harris has, through that interview, announced that he's at the stadium.

The press box will be getting an earful i hope.

 

[blue whippet]

Those pegs though, no consistency, mix of colours and heavily overpegged on the right ;-)

I never use red pegs, it's bad luck.

you are the one who is deluded if you think we are facing existential risk. at worse if the charges are proved true the top brass will face the music and will run into the law. we still will be top 10 richest and most valuable club in the world. at worst we will get demoted with billions of valuable asset with us. we will then go straight back into the PL and start making these PL clubs our bitches again. will be the Juventus situation at worst. but it not going to happen anyway as our owners are too intelligent and powerful to let it happen./

I posted last week that City were being accused of fraud and was told by other blues that the word fraud was never used. If The Premier league are saying that we have falsified accounts, knowingly, then this is a massive accusation. The problem for the Premier league is that the burden of prove lies with them and these alleged crimes will be very difficult to prove.

I didn’t see it but apparently Harris was talking about deciding our punishments, when what he should be talking about is that - as things stand - there are a number of possible outcomes, and at the very least, give equal weighting in what he said to all of them.

 

[halfcenturyup]

The FFP rules actually came out a couple of years after UEFA'S own FFP rules so the majority of the charges fall outside of the Premier League FFP laws surely.

This is also true. Maybe she was referring to the supposed allegation we didn't operate in utmost good faith while they were trying to fuck us over .....

No time bar in Premier League unless your name is Liverpool

Mancini’s case has already been de bunked but this arse stuff is interesting .

It’s interesting but really needs to be shoved in front of the media’s faces.

Shameless mudslinging to appease the pathetic red top armchair subscribers.
I hope he cops for an earful big time

I think you're confusing that utter twat with a professional journalist.

Arsenal 'in multi-million tax dodge'

The high-profile divorce of Arsenal star Ray Parlour has exposed a multi-million-pound tax dodge at the country's top football club, it was reported last night.

www.independent.co.uk

i asked last night if someone can get this in front of the club or media or can someone get this on Martin Keown’s twitter page? It’s basically Arsenal doing on an industrial scale what we are alleged to have done for Mancini . @Ric

Keown was part of the so called invincible team when this was going on and yesterday talked up the City “scandal”

It says in that article that the practice was legal but widely condemned. Unsure what anyone can do about it if it is legal, apart from mud sling, but I'd imagine they're not the only club finding tax loopholes that are unsavoury to yer man in the street but legal.

City haven’t been accused of doing anything illegal to my knowledge, it’s all by intimation.

Yet every team in that time before FFP could spend what they wanted, but only City were fraudulent in their financial dealings. Yeah right.

 

[Gorton_Tubster]

Not watching Sky. Don’t mind Neville or Keane but the repugnant Harris!

I do hope if their paths are crossing that Mr Richards is acting like an ex City player / supporter should be.

He's a Sky yes man nowadays. He wants to keep his job on telly

 

[KS55]

Now don't watch it again;)
