PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[meltonblue]

In retrospect that’s a very odd list of clubs.

City
Villa
Southampton
Swansea
Fulham
West Brom

And Reading abstained.

Think a few of them were looking to sell at the time and so didn’t want to restrict potential new owners.

Especially so, the irony of Reading!

If that spiv Majedski had voted against, it would never have got the majority.

Let’s be real, they’d have just waited 6 months and voted with 3 new promoted clubs. The PL was never going to be the only league in Europe without some sort of financial controls.

Just caught the end of the Committee meeting with Masters and Parry. Asked if he wanted to add anything else, Parry basically said - just get on with it and publish the report (obviously pissed) and the chair said - we will cos its needed but you two could do something about distribution and governance before that, In fact if I was at a Pompey game and you two were referees, the crowd would be chanting you don't know what you're doing.

Then the bell rang to close the session before he could respond. Fantastic.

 

[domalino]

Fucks me off that our club had to fight ffp on our own, navigate a path through all those restrictions, for them to now moan that is is restrictive. Really fucks me off that.

The only thing that annoys me is the mind numbing stupidity of the discourse.

People with no idea what they’re talking about being paid hundreds of thousands a year to stumble through a 45 second take where they make it clear they don’t even know what City or Everton are accused of doing.

Parry sitting to Masters. Two Masters closet colleagues is a former Liverpool director and a Manchester United fan. Masters himself was vetted by United and Liverpool. I don’t think having sugar daddies is particularly great for football, but what hope do “smaller” clubs have when those cunts are doing everything they can to protect themselves?

 

[Rory Bluelow]

Masters constantly referring to "smaller Clubs" - think we know where his loyalties lie.

It’s bizarre…anyone would think it’s a corrupt organisation run for the benefit of a few “insider” clubs - but that can’t be true

 

[StillBluessinceHydeRoad]

why cant he tell us a date, probably because he doesnt know himself

He won't know until he reads the Liverpool Post tonight.

 

[GaudinoMotors]

she has done very well holding her position as I suspect most Everton supporters would started a verbal or physical engagement with Masters

The club should have some legal heavyweight in that room to take note an intimidate. Mind you, they're squirming enough.

You tell us,, you're supposed to be a Journalist?

This lot don’t have even a modicum of common sense… The PL accuse and charge City. It’s for the PL to set a hearing date and present its case. The fact that they haven’t done this…. Is City’s fault. WTF.

He’s going to shit himself at some point but can’t tell you when!

Just been on another forum discussing ffp according to one poster its common knowledge that Citys owners buy millions of City merchandise to get round ffp. This us because it's a well known fact that City dont have enough supporters to buy the amount of merchandise sold lol

Seems an odd strategy to take, given that Puma will get about 95% of all merchandise sales. They pay a fee each year to be our kit manufacturer and they then take the vast majority of the sales.

A brief outline on how the chosen few are deemed more important than the rest ! However his refusal to go into City's on going charges hardly smack of somebody confident of a succes conclusion for Premier League ! I honestly believe the longer it takes for it to be heard the less chance of us being found guilty of much ! They outlined the charges now we have all this time to disprove them !

 

[Skrastins]

if we best these allegations, then that counts as a trophy?

The process is confidential.

I don’t understand why some city fans think him being tight lipped is a sign we’ll do well as much as I don’t understand why opposition fans think it’s the sign of a coverup.

It’s just confidential, so he can’t talk about it.

Shows the lack of intelligence the average fan of most clubs have ! Hope one of these idiots is on the independent panel !

 

[the blue panther]

As I posted in a similar thread, you can just imagine the conversations in certain quarters;
"Financial Fair Play, hey?"
"Aye - be careful what you wish for!"

 

[Gorton_Tubster]

Hey opposition fans.... You can cry and cry that we won all the trophies you couldn't but now you think we cheated and you are crying more. Keep it up, we love your tears. We drink them.

Our owners probably buy all the chips and pies too, even though the food is contracted out on a similar basis.

It just shows how little truth matters these days. Narrative trumps facts.
