PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

Different 'department', I know. But seriously, what about City?

Sheffield United hit by two-point Championship deduction

Sheffield United will start with a two-point deduction the next time they play in the Championship, following a ruling by the EFL.

Have none of the other, what is it 4 now, clubs that have been given points deductions been charged with non-cooperation? Is it just us that have been uncooperative?

I don't however see how if it sticks, that charge can carry a sporting penalty. Do you get a sporting advantage by a lack of cooperation?

All clubs supply forecast information every six months, I think.

Yes. The story was that the PL asked for operational plans. How true, I have no way of knowing.

You really mean rags dippers and tarquins want to know.

Yep if anyone expects social media to be any different it won't individuals nobody's Bots on X with no followers around the world will still be spouting this shit!

It’s not only about the bots. I listen and consume a lot of podcasts including the Athletic and whenever City are mentioned - a deliberate attempt is made to mention our charges, something in the lines of “ Will Halland play next season to the 115 charges City” or “City may win the league or else that can add a few more charges and spend another billion next season.”

These things do grate me and reduces the pleasure of listening to any media or watch any tv or video. Look at Jamie Caragghar while predicting who will win the CL predicts it would be “115 charges Manchester City”

Jesus. If they asked for that, the club should have stopped cooperating right away.

as with most information, you have to justify why you require that information and there better be a damn good reason why you need it before it gets supplied, the pl dont seem to understand this basic tenet of business.

If you admit it, you have cooperated.

It's the ducking stool approach of the witch surviving, until burned at the stake.

Speculation only: I still don’t really understand why we gave them nothing beyond 2018; perhaps for this reason?

City refused to answer PL’s questions on future plans, I believe.

Rather than risk possible sanctions for non cooperation by refusing to answer, why didn't we just say we currently had no definite plans. Any plans we have, that are revealed when it suits us, are explained by saying they were conceived after we were asked.
