PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

I remember the story well but I can honestly say that I can never recall Wenger having anything to do with it. As @Dribble just said, it was the NW-based teams who were moaning about it.
ArseAnal & Spuds had similar issues with Chelsea in the London region, which is where Wenger came into it.

To compete, Everton offered very generous "expenses" to parents for travel to matches & for accommodation across the UK & Europe, amounting to £2000+ per month.

It worked for a while, but because things were falling apart for the PL team, which filtered down through the club, the generous "expenses" scheme ultimately ended up mostly attracting the kids who didn't make it at City, ManUre & Liverpool.
 
I cannot find footage of wenger adding his ' financial doping' to the caper along with whisky spouting its cheating ( on repeat) but i can recall they were running around with further paperwork to sign....

In fact looking at that Mail article the way theyve long-armed whisky you could be led to believe it was mufc youth team coach's that were rallying around getting other clubs involved.....useing their gaffers m.o
 
Mcoist is like Drury, when you only used to here them now & again, they seemed a breath of fresh air. Now we hear them every week following their paymasters line, you realise they're no better. Listening to Lee Dixon on US Network is completely different to when he's commentating on ITV.
What, he's not bald and ugly in the US?
 
It was the Northwest based PL teams ManUre, Red & Blue Dippers, & Blackburn who complained, as City were hoovering up all the best local young talent, enabling us to splatter opposition teams by ridiculous scorelines. They threatened to boycott matches against City in protest, but IIRC little came of it bar bellyaching to the media.

Dunno about Liverpool & Blackburn, but ManUre & Everton definitely had similar private school arrangements with their kids. However, it was also the revolutionary high tech CFA & the social education side City offered that wowed most parents, hence ManUre being seriously pissed that the children of many of their players went to City.

It's nothing new with him. He's been blowing smoke up our arse for years. Is that a City coat he's wearing 40 seconds in? ;)

There seems real genuine respect and enthusiasm from both sides, Wenger and all the City players and Pep. Great to see...

Wenger also helped shape the Premier League back in the day. Henry and Co were incredible back then...
