PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[Monkchester]

I see Magic Hat (aka that oh so nice Nick Harris) has slithered out from under his rock again.....

I have messaged him explaining that I normally submit my tax return in October but haven’t got round to it - I have asked him if I need to send him my return first with a letter of apology before submitting it to HMRC - I also apologised for getting his username wrong - it’s not Magic Twat it’s Tragic Twat !!!

So City haven’t yet published accounts that have never been published this early. By God I’m worried now

 

[jimharri]

Has he got a point?

I haven't got a clue. I don't file accounts. There's plenty on here, I'm guessing who'd be more up to speed on such affairs.

 

[chaddblue]

Has he got a point?

No. As pointed out, in the past our accounts have been published much later than this date

 

[manimanc]

Has he got a point?

Absolutely.
He's ITK.

Sound and fury. Signifying nothing.

It usually signifies a wet fart in my case, which thinking about it is appropriate in this case as well.

Well its blatantly obvious that we've cheated if we haven't published our accounts earlier than we normally do. That's some concrete evidence right there. The guy's a super sleuth. Probably the best investigative journalist there's ever been.

He's such a prick, I suppose he's suggesting that we have been informed of the outcome and therefore our accounts would need to include a warning. Let's turn that on it's head and say we haven't had an outcome, that would be incentive to publish our accounts early so we don't have to include anything related to the charges!

Even if it was always mid-November (which it isn't) that we published them on the website, does the deranged **** not realise that it's not quite mid-November yet?!

Cities accounts are usually signed off in the first 10 days of October

23/24 8/10/24
22/23. 10/10/23
21/22. 7/10/22
20/21. 1/10/21

Then you have the dates they are filed at Cos House
23/24. 10/3/25
22/23. 4/4/24
21/22. 5/4/23
20/21. 4/3/22

Clubs are obliged to publish results on their official website. The dates below may be a day or two out but they are certainly within a week of them first appearing

23/24 13/12/24
22/23. 15/11/23
21/22. 7/11/22
20/21. 12/1/22

Of course he does but he was probably worried that if he left in any later the opportunity to plant the conspiracy theory would be lost because the accounts would be published.
I suspect he has been playing Russian roulette with himself for the last week wondering how late he can leave it. If our accounts aren't out until December he will be furious with himself for pulling the trigger so early.

So might or might not have been usually published about now.

But even if it’s true why would we care the result will affect a set of accounts eventually where not a publicly traded company and the other shareholders stake holders will know eventually and probably very soon and probably already have an idea

 

[Milesvk]

Have'nt some clubs in the past submit accounts a month or so later for accounting reasons?

"Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow,

I don't think there is a rule to publish accounts on the website (if there is please point to it - no made up ChatGPT please). But regardless there is no time limit to do so within any period after signing off. Many clubs file on the last possible day having signed off months before. We know all clubs need to sign off accounts by 31 December yet most do not release until the statutory deadline.

In any event, the truth is far simpler. As of earlier this week (not sure about right now), nobody had the decision. In short, this "theory" is all nonsense.

 

[slbsn]

BTW I do agree with the theory that if City were concerned about an adverse finding, they would be keen to get the accounts finalised sooner rather than later - just far simpler to copy last year's disclosure as we await the decision. So perhaps they aren't that concerned.
