PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

Lord Blue said:
I'd like to see a massive headline tomorrow "Premier League Victorious". The premier league have had a massive victory in the 115 case against Manchester City. The PL has investigated the allegations against biggest asset and are relieved to find that Manchester City have acted entirely within the rules. Every allegation was investigated in great depth and shown to be false. This is a huge victory for the Premier League as it proves that the last 15 years of English football were played out fairly on a level playing field. The case has proved such a drain on Richard Masters that he has decided to stand down and give someone with fresh ideas a chance. In a further victory the Premier League have managed to line Ferran Soriano up as Dicks replacement.

So I suppose I'm working on the assumption that none of us have access to internal KPIs, but if they were below expectations then Puma wouldn't have signed the deal they just signed. The Netflix deal (top ten streamed worldwide upon release) was an in-house documentary so well above expectations. But we'll never know, I suppose. Perhaps if we clear the charges the club can seriously think about damages, but we have record breaking shirt sales the last few years so you'd really have to think carefully about proving even more record breaking shirt sales we have missed out on.

Sorry to sound stupid but what's a KPI?

They're in LONDON, makes a massive difference, WSPAM haven't suddenly engaged an extra 30k , it's all new at Everton at the minute,we had a similar demand first season at the Ethiad.
Also we've got fucking Disney land 3 miles down the road. Agree the club don't bloody help tho

I don’t think any of those clubs are without the problems that we have, not necessarily driven by lack of demand but expensive tickets, tickets going to agencies, no shows etc. West Ham in particular have many games with swathes of empty seats. Everton have had issues already when you’d think they’d be rammed full every game. I actually think most clubs have similar issues, but it’s just more visible at City and without opening the early leaver debate again, that doesn’t help as on many occasions people see a snippet of a match and the ground is half empty.

That said I agree with DD’s original comment, the social media and mainstream media slander has caused reputational damage and will have restricted City’s growth in this country. Luckily overseas fans don’t appear to give a shiny shit!

That’s why I said “the club don’t help”. But I stand by my original point: our ticket demand should be outstripping Spurs and West Ham by miles and it isn’t.

That is entirely on the club for me. We all know dozens of former matchgoers. The reason these people are no longer going has nothing to do with any charges; it has to do with the price, having to sit among tourists, being moved to accommodate expanded corporate areas that are never full, etc. The list is never-ending.
