If the Qataris pulled out because the rags were not 'forthcoming' with their accounts, then there truly is something dark and sinister happening at the swamp that should be looked into. These people are no fools (obviously), and if they were ready to put in an offer but backed out because of the smoke and mirrors that seems to surround the rags' finances, then an independent body should be set up with the authority to scrutinise every single detail of their accounts. If they have nothing to hide why not come clean?
And you have to ask why the Premier League has allowed this to happen under their watch. How, despite being saddled with a debt that would cripple the economy of a medium-sized country, they are spending obscene amounts of money every single time the transfer window opens. Common sense tells you something is wrong.
25%Jim is a tax-dodger with a seat on the board, and the Glazers conduct their financial affairs via the Cayman Islands - British but apparently self-governed.

Everything about that vile club is shrouded in Mafioso-type mystery. I am half expecting it to emerge that John Gotti has shares in the rags.

Because the longer the authority's leave it the more the rags can bury

Strange how money is popping up from nowhere again.

Nobody even knows just how big their debt actually is.

Apparently the main reason the Qataris pulled out was because the club's accounts were so opaque and the analysts and accountants they engaged to study united's books couldn't establish just how big their debt is along with other aspects of the club's finances being equally murky and unclear.

Yet according to the PL everything's just fine with united's finances with regards to FFP compliance, barring some minor, trivial breach that was nothing more than an oversight requiring the lightest of slaps on the wrist.

A trivial 30mill+ I heard.....

It's said you cannot train a cat therefore, it is doing it on instinct. Cats know.

As a cat owner myself, that is very true.

Apparently, they are on the verge of signing City reject, Adrian Rabiot, who is 29, after his contract expired at PSG.

Another one for the future, and yet another signal that there isn’t a lot of dosh available for ten Bob.

That Yoro kid is one strange looking fcuker lmao

He'll fit right in at the swamp, then, won’t he?

They could change the name to Ugly Ranges, and no one would bat an eyelid.

 

[Protein Junkie]

Signing everybody again .....

Only now you’ve noticed:-)
Same as it ever was.

The new Wesley Sneijder?

 

[give it to gordon]

So by that are we lead to believe the rags have done a deal with pl to be allowed to 'fix' the books to pass PSR OLor what ever the ffp is called ?
