PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

I seem to recall the league allowed United to sign Tevez and Liverpool Mascherano - both on third party ownership deals before pulling the shutters down and outlawing the practice. Another case of the Red cartel setting the rules to suit themselves.

The Rags signed Tevez on loan after West Ham let him go so it was never an issue. Plenty of reasons to despise them, but this isn't the one.

No 3rd party ownership was already outlawed & West Ham had to let them leave, so they went to Rags & Dippers on a 3rd party ownership contract.

We did not sign Tevez from the Rags or West Ham we bought out his contract.

The Rags were given permission by the premier league to secure a 2 year loan from MSI & confirmed by David Gill.

“Ultimately the people who controlled him, because he wasn’t owned by a club, it was the people we did the deal with to get him in for two years, they basically got a lot more money by taking him to City, it became a financial thing for them.”

What a footballer he was, wish we could clone a 25-year old Tevez!

That’s the point. 3rd party ownership is outlawed so you couldn’t have a player who was owned by a business & not a football club. No idea why but that’s the rules…….. that most clubs have to abide by.

It's not the slightest bit expensive for the PL. Their huge legal costs merely come out of the reserve that is distributed to clubs at certain points. All the costs are directly paid for by all PL clubs as they will receive lower reserve payments.

Not just PL clubs, all clubs, everyone will get a reduced payout, as the cartel would spread their loses.
