PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

Danny Mills talking sense about FFP on talk sport. Saying let clubs spend whatever an owner wants but to ensure it’s sustainable if it’s outside of FFP rules they need to pay money up front. Basically if you wanf to pay a player 10 million a year and it’s beyond the 70% (or whatever) FFP deem to be a fair amount to avoid clubs spending behind their means you have to escrow the extra to prove you have it. That’s way to simple for the premier league to understand though.

When the club are cleared I can imagine they’ll maybe go after one or two who have stepped over the line so to speak,as for Jordan he’s a no mark in the grand scheme of things ..

Sadly, we won't. We'll remain in a perpetual state, of dignified silence.

Yeah because they have better things to be doing like running the most succesful club in world football in the past decade and building a footballing operation on a scale that has never been seen before.

Never mind the shit storm that would happen if we did. Jordan and Nick Harris would be crying all over social media that CIty were quashing free speech and how they are afraid of meeting an end like Khashoggi.

I get that but even a good kick in the shins, would be a retaliation, worthy of celebration.

Jordan hasn’t got a clue. Slandering City constantly. And stealing a living on Talk Shite.

Jordans body language says it all, he is livid with City. I always thought he was playing to the red gallery but he really does despise City.

I hope the club, our owners, pay him due respects in return if we're found innocent. Probably not, because he is a pimple on the arse of News Corp.

Another one who thinks he's way more intelligent than he is.

He gets shown up by guests who understand what's what. It's alright sounding intelligent sat next to Dim Jim every day but he comes unstuck when he has someome with a brain in the studio.

My favourite was Eddie Hearn calling him a "Disc Jockey" that ran his business into the ground. Can't say I'm a fan of Hearn either, all boxing promoters are snakes but he ran circles around Simon Jordan.

That's why I pointed out this answer he gave in an old interview, in the media thread . He talks about trust fund babies and inherited money. He says he has no respect for people like Eddie or Sheikh Mansour because in his eyes, they've not earned the right to have what they have:



Some may think he has a point if you take it at face value(business is rarely if ever fair like that because it's not an ideal world). However, what he really means is they haven't earned the right to compete at all with people like him, in his eyes(which is nonsense). He's not a businessman or a football club owner these days, so he's taken to siding with those who he identifies with instead, which is why he still has double standards and agendas.

Go back and listen to him when he brown-nosed Todd Boehly near the start of the season. He was near enough defending their position on the transfer business and the finding of loopholes. Without going back to find actual quotes, I seem to remember the gist of his arguments were:

'They're only doing what they think will help their club and if no rules were broken, it's on the rule makers'

and

'People like Boehly and his people are smart, I think they know what they are doing. Ruthless but good business sense'

Night and day to how he would view those strategies, if a state or a royal from the middle east with inherited fortunes had done the same(ethics/morals, the spirit of the rules, fairness in sport would all come into play in his reasoning). He's only changed his stance because he's either realised how obvious the double standards are(always denying he has agendas) or he knows Chelsea are in trouble and it's not a defendable position. Even when he's talking about players, you can tell he still views everything through the lense of an owner, who sees players as his property, who should do as they are told and be grateful. He's not the objective, no nonsense person he likes to present himself as.

Taklshite want our hearing brought forward , they want instant retribution for our club because we have f*cked up their core audience of Rags & Dippers and they can only now pick up the scraps from our table . Would prefer to get all this bullshit out of the way but it is small compensation that the likes of Simon Jordan , Jim White and many other pundits get so wound up.

We are expecting a decision around autumn according to the rumour mill but if any of the charges do stick then expect an appeal and another few months of pundits gnashing their teeth and demanding their pound of flesh, it will be all the more enjoyable if or when we eventually get exonnerated of every single charge.

Maybe some of us try to brush it off because we have witnessed the best football any club in the history of the Premier league has played , but beating these charges and proving all the know-nowt f*ckers wrong would be as sweet as any league title.
