PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[WRicko]

It's the only way, to fight fire with fire.
What do people who have Billions of money in a company, protect it at all costs, If City and our owners are not careful we could see all the good work go down the pan overnight because we have never challenged the system

As I said, that £75million United claimed in allowances to stop them from failing PSR was a joke and Nobody questioned them doing it, Sorry but you think City would get away with fudging the PSR rules

I got so much stick from Stefan Borson on here because I questioned what he said in the first interview, Then United complained to talksport and he changed his view and said they did nothing wrong a couple of days later

That is the Power they hold, Dare you to question United, Stefan was right when saying Arsenal were only allowed a Covid19 allowance of a couple of million and they have a 60.000 stadium so you can do the maths on the loss of match day revenue ?

Why does everybody fear United and Liverpool ? Will the Premier League fold or fall apart? if you stand up to them. They will take their ball home. You Know what let them fuck off, the game in England is not just about them. whats the harm in other teams and their fans wanting to dream of winning the title

How do you know they complained ?

I recently had brain surgery and don't know if this article is relevant. If it isn't, just scroll past and I will have a word with my carer.

That's interesting. Not sure who those guys are or how serious they are (the article seems a little naive) but it raises some interesting points.

Your carer seems to be going a good job :)

Come on, it's pretty clear that is what happened, despite what anyone says.

It's what happens when you try to develop a media presence. You get sucked in and have to play the game. No criticism, just being realistic.

I honestly believe that the sheer hatred shown to City by elements of the English media over recent years has been one of Pep's key motivations for staying so long. As a Catalan the hatred from the Madrid-dominated media drove him on at Barcelona. He has always been more comfortable being part of the anti-establishment. He wasn't as happy at Bayern where the internal politics upset him. The BBC regularly describe him as a "Spaniard" in their reports for example. Other outlets describe him as a Catalan. I believe none of this is lost on Pep.

The level of disrespect they show him could light a fire on the sea bed

Money doesn't guarantee patience or tolerance in the face of blatant stupidity or provocation .

Aye, I agree, but he's had over 10 years of experience of it starting with the Spanish media with Barcelona.

Thanks . Hope you are doing well as that surgery sounds scary .

The article raises some interesting points , not least around conflict of interest. Self interest , career prospects and a comfortable inertia and a disinterested editorial team dampens curiosity , especially if your employer has a big contract ( BBC Sports/ Sky /Talk sport ) with the top league .

Sports media is set up to make investigative journalism impossible , career ending and deeply unattractive to most journalists. Credible people work elsewhere .

"Facts", fostered by those in charge , are established by endless repetition , echoed by pundits so that they become true. " Controversy " is confined to referee decisions poured over endlessly and "detective work" is produced by any partisan fan of any club who can edit a video or collect a few " facts" that fit the story.
