PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[eyalluvitt]

Joe Hart seems to have his head screwed on as well.

Thought 2 years at Celtic would have poisoned his mind but he seems to have survived relatively unscathed

And on this week of middle aged men yearning for the 90s, we're going to talk about the Keane v Vieira rivalry again

Today we had white rimming Butt and the class of 92. I've never seen anyone go to the toilet more than Butt. Read anything in to that

What a load of sh*t that was, 8 minutes of my life wasted.

yep - me too

Nothing of substance at all

In our latest accounts we had record revenues of just over £700m and yet only made £80m in profit. Of that £700m, £300m of it was broadcast revenue, the majority, for being in the PL and reaching the final of the CL. These revenues would disappear overnight. That wipes out the profit and gives us an approx. £200m black hole.

The leagues below the PL also have FFP/PSR, so if we go down there, we would have similar rules to abide by but with a much lower turnover. We would be looking for players earning £10kp/w not £300kp/w. It would be a fire-sale and if after all that, we could somehow scrape a side together that could get promoted, we would be back in the PL at a starting point similar to just before the Mansour takeover but now with rules in place that would make a similar investment in players and subsequent rise through the PL almost impossible.

The club will always go in in some shape or form, of that I am certain. However, this current Manchester City, this behemoth of a club, would IMO be effectively finished by a guilty verdict.

I know that sounds pessimistic and possibly overly dramatic but that’s how it feels to me. I pray I am miles wide of the mark.

We could sell 2 players to make up that lost revenue and still have the best squad in the country.

Has anyone seen the Frank warren interview on the IFL YouTube channel?? He has ripped Simon Jordan a new one on his article slamming the Saudi and Middle East investment into boxing,

Frank called Simon out on a few things most notably about him taking the moral high ground and how the man is a hypocrite and has been involved with Ben shalom over in Saudi,

He also questioned why if Simon Jordan feels so passionate about being against Saudi and Middle East investment into sport and boxing then why does he not stand down from his position on talksport seeing as they as a radio station have also sold there rights to the Saudi investors

 

[Xhavenjoe]

Nedum, Michael Brown or Shay Given would all fight our corner better than Mr Laughing Gas

I have seen Richard Dunne on a few times and he's a lot more knowledgeable and rational than I thought he would be.

Just Imagine what a four year deep dive into the financial dodgy dealings during Fergusons era would dredge up. Strip the titles

Did Magnier and McManus ever get the answer to all those questions that they asked about the GPC's " financial dealings" back in the day?
It was either 90 or 99 questions they asked IIRC
I'm asking as I don't recall any coverage from the bottom feeders in the "media" either at the time or at any point since.

He was on talksport earlier agreed to go head to head with Jordon 10.30 in morning conditional on Jordan not being allowed to talk over him.

Roll on when we win this case, social media will go into total meltdown & it's going to be one hell of a piss boiling day haha
Opposing supporters brains will be fried & they'll have naff all to chuck at us, what a day that's going to be :-)

I literally can't wait brother!!!!!

Most wouldn't want to stay though

 

[gocity]

Here's another question
Why is it always folk with low post counts that come away with this nonsense.

probable rag who has caught a few

That’s all Jordon and Carragher do is shout over people. Carragher will crack a joke at the end to get everyone to laugh so it’s even harder to argue your point with him. Proper bully tactics that

what was his excuse? Did he even answer?

 

[cheekybids]

I watched a bit of the overlap, I had too just to see how hysterical other fans are about us going down.
Carragher - Scruffy **** saying it's impossible for us to earn that much money.
Scholes - Fat boring little prick when asked does he know if city have broke regulations, says nothing, city fan in audience shrugs shoulders at him as if to say you don't know to which ginger pig replies well it's highly likely.
Utd fan in audience - sportswashing sportswashing yadda yadda yadda
Ugly Scouse cow in audience - guilty guilty guilty.

The whole lot of them, all mardarse cunts from red cartel teams, are absolutely crestfallen and heartbroken we've won the lot and they've won nothing. It was a communal cry arse session where they all gathered and let their bitterness flood out.

Red cartel wankers.

The thick **** works for sky & he doesn’t realise how much we get from tv.

 

[Jazzman]

What amazes me is that nobody ever puts it to carragher, scholes etc that they themselves despite having clearly limited intelligence have managed to become multi millionaires simply by having the talent to kick a ball and take advantage of the opportunities presented to them, why do they find it so impossible that people with vastly superior intelligence and connections that give far greater opportunities would be able to earn much much larger fortunes?

Well, you answered your own question in the first sentence. They are of limited intelligence.

Of that £700m, £300m of it was broadcast revenue, the majority, for being in the PL and reaching the final of the CL. These revenues would disappear overnight. That wipes out the profit and gives us an approx. £200m black hole.

The leagues below the PL also have FFP/PSR, so if we go down there, we would have similar rules to abide by but with a much lower turnover. We would be looking for players earning £10kp/w not £300kp/w. It would be a fire-sale and if after all that, we could somehow scrape a side together that could get promoted, we would be back in the PL at a starting point similar to just before the Mansour takeover but now with rules in place that would make a similar investment in players and subsequent rise through the PL almost impossible.

The club will always go in in some shape or form, of that I am certain. However, this current Manchester City, this behemoth of a club, would IMO be effectively finished by a guilty verdict.

I know that sounds pessimistic and possibly overly dramatic but that’s how it feels to me. I pray I am miles wide of the mark.

& yet the club is calm as fuck, what does that tell you.

Wasn't there a BBC panorama program that claimed to expose clubs and mangers in the early 2000s. ferguson, redknapp allardyce were all rumoured to be in involved along with the rags cayman island accounts, but it was seems to have been swept under the carpet by the fa and premier league shortly after (seems to be a recurring theme where the rags and dodgy dealings are involved.

Apart from we got away with it...

Sadly we will always be guilty in the eyes of the desperately bitter red cartel types.

Let's hope we don't fold then

Could you imagine if that city fan on the overlap said to carragher and that liverpool fan "your the last set of supporters to assume guilt"

“No way everyone had tickets in Paris!”
