PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

At the very least this breaks a number of PL rules I would imagine.

But yes, I doubt the club are bobothered.

Putting aside the contractual situations, which are for the clubs and employees to sort internally if they want to, what PL rules does it break? Being 'fair towards others'? There would also have to be a complaint for the PL to look at anything, presumably.

And how did the papers get a hold of it.
 
Storm in a tea cup. At most city will be mildly irritated.

The exec team will have long since moved on and will have far bigger things to concern themselves with.

Naive in the extreme to think this stuff doesn’t go on during gardening leave and very little to gain for City spoiling for a fight over it.

There’s being bothered & then there’s acting bothered. We may use this as a bargaining point at some point, nothing extreme.

B15 and J13 for a start.

No complaint required if the PL becomes aware.

And, good question. If this is the quality of the new people at United, maybe we will just be OK.

What are B15 and J13? I was asking in earnest btw.
 
It's naive in the extreme to think all clubs don't discuss ways to get around FFP but it was fucking stupid to put it in emails in an unsecured environment. And look what happened.

i would say the club are not bothered in the grand scheme of things but would likely to be saying okay well why arent you cracking down on these 'minor' breaches but you want to absolutely nail us to the cross for everything you possibly can.

I get what you mean but it doesn’t work like that unfortunately.

in a court room setting it does tho, you use every bargaining chip you can get your hands on and if they are investigating us differently than they are investigating others it would be remiss of our legal team to not question why.

Especially not in a court. United making an illegal approach to a Newcastle employee has zero relevance to whether City have breached financial rules.

In fact it would probably annoy the commission due to the time wasted discussing something that has no relevance to the case at hand.

That’s true but surely the commission can understand that. Let’s not use City as an example Nottingham Forrest got 100 million fine and 20 point deduction and Everton got 2 points.

You would expect it to be raised at some point perhaps not at the start when we are still arguing our innocence but perhaps in sentencing for want of a better word or at appeal
 
Whilst the Ashworth Berrada story I’m sure is mild irritation to City, it’s very telling that the Ratcliffe puppets in the media have chosen to ignore it.

However, it’s a huge fuck up by Ashworth - at a time when the teams are arguing over millions in compensation.

Don’t forget this is on the back of him presiding over the monumental fuck up of the Tonali signing.

Ashworth is a disaster and will be well suited to Utd.

I like it more when you are prophesising doom for United :)

This particular incident has no relevance to the City case. It’s an argument that would go nowhere.

Just remember what Txiki said - in the end, we just keep winning.
