PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[SilverFox2]

I'm not so sure the club does regret it. There were a lot of outstanding issues that could have gone either way at the Adjudicatory Chamber and a subsequent CAS appeal. Much more than in 2019, and I imagine with better evidence to support them as well. On the other hand, Infantino didn't seem to have much appetite for a long fight either and the club's threat to challenge FFP in court was an incentive to settle. I imagine both sides were happy with a "political" solution.

Perhaps even some of the things the 115 contain are covered in that Settlement?

Recent financial history makes us not fearing FFP whereas we sailed close to the wind prior to that.

Meanwhile, just outside of Manchester, Scruffy Jim, the new owner of the world's most indebted club, Trafford Town FC, has made a huge paper loss on his newly acquired rag shares. Apart from when they play us, we need Villa and Spuds (ouch) to win and knock them out of next years ECL. Hopefully that will swipe another 25% of his portfolio and make him question why the hell he ever thought a background in Chemical Eng and Cycling could save the swampies. ...

I wouldn’t. He is a formidable opponent. If we fell foul of any regs……

I'm 100% convinced that we have been squeaky clean for a long time. Unfortunately, a combination of complacency and ineptitude that enabled the hack of millions of unencrypted emails left us open to scrutiny all those years ago.

I wasn't suggesting he was corrupt but I did say in my post that his disposition to the club might not be good as he has been involved in a high profile case against us. It's pure guesswork on your part that he may have advised UEFA that their case was very weak.

The man is a lawyer and a very highly qualified and experienced one at that. As such he has to be objective, detached and dispassionate and to view evidence through such eyes. It is unlikely that he has any "disposition" to City and it is unlikely to of any relevance if he has since his job will not be to participate in case after case against City but to regulate the PL. We don't know, at the moment, exactly the details of such a post and must wait for the government to tell us and introduce legislation to set up the post/department. Our political masters are clearly dissatisfied with the situation at the moment and there are enough MPs with an interest in football to ensure that a wide variety of views on it are expressed so the chances of a regulator with scores to settle with City would seem to be negligeable. So, let's calm down and realise that our persecutors aren't hiding behind every tree!

If we are clean, and I’m sure we are, a competent regulator is to our advantage. He will clip the redshirts’ wings and put an end to the nonsense we get from them.

 

[Bald fraud]

He probably knows how piss weak the uefa case was then.

I'd be more worried if we find out he's a rag or dipper.

Nailed on whoever is in charge if when the regulator comes in will be one of the red shirts fan

 

[pauls]

Mmmmm no don't say

The Peroxide Bullshitter wants dispensation for new investment to allow them to grow their business in responding to this CRYSTAL PALACE spokesman, clearly ignoring we are being charged 115 for allegedly doing the very same.
He's on talkshite that much he forgets what he's said in the past, not a regular listener but tune in occasionally , he's not changed.

 

[Lord Blue]

And what if anything, was his reply?

Oh he didn’t reply. I doubt he will.

 

[Rochdale Blue]

I have a dipper mate who clings to the idea that we're state funded and we outspend them because of it.
The alternative for him is that he has to accept that we've beaten them on the pitch, fair and square.

Wasn't it scrawny neck clucking that ffp wasn't doing what he expected it to do when he realised that he might have to invest in the club rather creaming all the profit over to the US, the very same scrawny neck who tried to make money by trade marking the name of an English city.
I'd love to know how much he has skimmed off the suckers who pay to watch his club and how much he has invested in Liverpool compared to our owner.

If, and it’s a big if, they were able to pin anything on us.
Would it not go in our favour that any extra money put in was to make us financially stable now. Probably the best run club in world. Not to put the club at risk which was the whole point of FFP.
Meanwhile, the likes of Everton and potentially Forest are still not run very well.
But deducting points could relegate them and a possibility of sending them out of business. The whole reason FFP was supposedly brought in to prevent.
If FFP was to do its job the punishment should be a net spend limit on 1 or more transfer windows. Thus keeping them in business and forcing them to pull in their horns
