PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

Funnily enough I can remember my tutors second name, Kershaw. He lived nearby my Aunty who told me she knew something strange about him but wouldn’t divulge despite me begging her for info.

Many years later I took my Mum (her sister) to see her when she was recovering from an operation. I asked her what the “secret” she had on Kershaw, as he was no longer around she told me, apparently as a young man he liked to dress as a baby and get his mum to spoon feed him, turned out he was gay as well. Wouldn’t bat an eyelid these days but they were different times, very good tutor though, engaging and interesting.

By bizarre coincidence I knew a Tory local councillor called Kershaw. Slightly strange bloke, memory might be playing tricks but if I remember correctly he had very blonde hair, slightly John Inman (ish) in demeanour.

A John Kershaw lived a few doors from where I lived as a kid he was strange and I’m sure he became a councillor and maybe was a teacher

Like millions of other fans, for varying reasons if that's better for you.

I came from a non-footballing family, so as a kid I chose to support the Dippers. Why? Because they were the best in England & Europe at the time.

Around age 8, my cousin asked me why I supported them & I explained. He told me I should be supporting MY "local club" which he said was City, so because of the respect I had for my big cousin, I became a Blue & the Dippers became my second team until about ten years ago.

There are varying valid reasons why people choose to support a club beyond where they were born or live.

I chose City because it was a short bus ride away. Pretty local.

Really unbelievable. Trouble is, it helps the majority of clubs to compete with us. But as already mentioned, if bonuses are included, if a club reaches end of season finals which attract bonuses, how is a club expected to plan that far ahead

Where are Luton going to find £530m to spend on wages, amortisation & agents fees? I thought the original stated purpose of FFP was to limit clubs to spend what they earn?

Without other draconian restrictions, how does this latest move stop Luton from killing their club by spending above their means? In reality, it doesn't. It's so obviously designed to stop City, whilst giving the illusion that other clubs will be allowed to dream the way City have...

Essentially this is a case of, rather than encourage you to be better, we'll pull the leading pack back to give you a better chance. I've never heard of such backward thinking from a major business in my life.

The PL board seriously aren't fit for purpose. IREF anyone?

Sportac is unadulterated nonsense. It's just a mix of guesses, rumours, newspaper reports, and the odd bit of inside info. Problem is that the figures are hundreds of millions a year out for all the big clubs, so all that work and it's essentially a big pile of pointless shit.

Our wage will is in our accounts, and it's £423m. That was the treble year, so it's quite possible it contains higher bonuses, but it does show why the limit of around £550m could be tricky.

Wasn't aware itvwas a nonsense site thanks for the heads up. Yeah I seem to remember reading there was a hell of alot of bonuses paid out.

Let's say though city sell 2 academy players and get 100mil. Does that then increase the the cap to 600 Mill or does it stay at 500 regardless? Not expecting you to know just thinking outloud

Anybody want to recite the whole story of Irish antipathy to anything British, to anything with a Protestant tinge, to anybody doing business with a Protestant owned shop, to priests denouncing Protestants from the pulpit, to anything not Gaelic enough etc etc.
“Ireland is a catholic country for catholic people” Discuss.
Thank god those days are gone, pace some recalcitrants

I've had it explained in subsequent posts & didn't realise the Protestant/Catholic animosity & troubles extended to football. Today's been a real eye-opener.

The sooner Ireland is one, the better... )(

Before we even start to think like this, I'd like answers to a few fundamentals first.

I'll repeat again, how does player bonuses & sales affect things? Does this proposal affect only our wage bill, amortisation & agents fees level, OR what we can spend on transfers which haven't been mentioned.

I suppose one way of looking at it is to say to a player "We've paid £50m for you, but because of this bollocks, we can only pay you £6m per season".

The player will have weigh up where he stands the best chance of playing success, as opposed to where he can get the best wage. It seems the days of where both were an equal consideration could be over...

This is playing right into the hands of La Liga, Serie A, Ligue 1 & the Bundesliga. They must be fuckin creaming themselves as the PL eats itself in the pursuit of stopping City.

Im not going to judge the rules until I understand them more but the point above about bonuses is quite interesting, lets assume for a minute that we are on for the treble next season and it comes down to the CL final, if we win it then the whole playing squad gets a bonus that suddenly puts us outside of the permitted spend. Given the players are all on contracts written before these rules came into affect, where the hell does this go.
Do we get to a situation where players get told to throw a CL final just to ensure the club comply to a set of rules like this?

They’d get told to throw it in the group stage surely?

Honestly there’s only so many times I can tell people proudly proclaiming how this will drive all the players to Spain that Spain already have rules that are very similar but much stricter than this.

There’s so many people who are convinced the proposal is shit despite freely admitting they haven’t got a clue what the proposal entails and being completely ignorant to what other countries are doing.

You can bet this rule was back engineered. It has no serious basis. Why x times the lowest?

“You can tell from my body language” - Manchester City board member offers huge hint on 115 charges fate

Manchester City board member Alberto Galassi has made a significant claim around the fate of the club with regards to the elusive 115 charges issued by the Premier League. The Premier League champions…

With all due respect, it means sweet FA. The club have been very bullish from day one and for him to say anything different would certainly be off message. The club have committed absolutely zero criminal laws and as such even if we get fucked over those who are seen as culpable can walk away into a new very well paid job, you think Radcliffe will sack that bloke he poached from City? Course not.

this smear campaign still has legs and won’t be concluded any time soon.
