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

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.....
 
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.

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 ?

Well if you look what the premier allowed them to add for Covid they've bent over backwards for them! They got way more allowance for Covid % wise than any other club

Stefan had something on twitter last week saying they had written off £40m of losses due to covid in the most recent accounts. The next nearest club was less than £4m.

I am hoping it's things like this the we are going to bring up in the cases against us, clear difference(discrimination) in how a number of other clubs are allowed to operate. I have no doubt that we have enough dirt on other clubs and the PL and I hope we have threatened to blow it apart if we needed.

I saw in the BBC’s Gossip Column this morning that Antony could go out on loan, provided the club he signs for is willing to pay his £70k/week salary.

Now, call me cynical, but I would have thought that a player?, who commands a transfer fee of £80 million, would have wages higher than £70 grand a week.

That, or he has the world's worst agent...........
