My limited understanding from reading it are City are top because our money comes from Abu Dhabi and the people who wrote the report say Abu Dhabi financial centres can be dodgy, however, looking at it City's finances aren't dodgy. There were historical issues with FFP and related party sponsors (which we all knew about) but that's all sorted and we have very little debt so are financially sound but, well its Abu Dhabi so booooo!
Bolton are second as they just have a lot of dodgy overseas finance n variousbtax havens and nobody seems to know who owns them or where the money comes from.
Bournemouth are really dodgy as, like Bolton, nobody knows who owns them or where the money comes from or whether they pay tax.
Spurs are dodgy because their money is based in a Bahamas tax haven and they've used the local council and UK Government to get taxpayer money to pay somebof the costs involved with building their new stadium and surrounding areas. They've also been allowed to ignore part of the deal they made with the council to build affordable housing at the taxpayers expense. This tax payer money thats helped build Tottenhams stadium wont be recouped so all the profits that the new stadium brings will then inevitably end up in Joe Lewis Bahamas tax haven.
United have an incredibly complicated and morally dodgy structure but the entire pyramid is basically set up to allow the Glazers avoid some tax, pay more of a different tax but overall keep control of United while taking money out and putting nothing in.
To be honest the Bournemouth and Spurs stuff was most interesting as the stuff in the United section was all already pretty well known about. The United section is very complicated though so I've probably missed something.

Are the rags by any chance in for Frank Kessie?
He's come out with this little beauty.

“I like the Premier League and in particular the Manchester United – a team I dream of playing in,” Kessie told TuttoMercatoWeb, as quoted by Sky Sports. “Chelsea is also a great club, no one would refuse it, but I dream of United.”

In other words his agent touted him round half a dozen clubs, all bar the rags said no thanks.

I thought Bournemouth are owned by a lifelong Blue.

If he does indeed end up at the swamp, let’s hope it turns into a nightmare.

The impression I've always got is that when it comes to HMRC, City are squeaky clean compared to, ahem, certain other clubs. Yet apparently we're the real villains because back in 2014 we were deemed to have breached some new shitty financial regs designed to maintain the status quo - regs that even if we had blatantly rode roughsod over (which we didn't) wouldn't have ended up with anyone doing porridge, whereas tax dodging does.

Furthermore, those regulations were altered after we’d sent in our financial results, which would have seen us pass them, if the original standards had been maintained.
 
Gollum still reeling out the "United DNA" gobbledygook in his latest press conference to cover up his complete inability to talk any semblance of tactics and to keep his adoring supporters all gooey and misty-eyed of times gone by.

I think we would have failed narrowly anyway, per @Prestwich_Blue, but that's old hat now.

We failed regardless but the change in the calculations around allowable wages meant we couldn't use these in mitigation. Had we been able to do so we shouldn't have faced any sanctions.

In the end, the sanctions made bugger all difference and may even have helped us by effectively wiping out our previous big losses.
