[Finance] Man City accused of breaking EPL financial rules

[SeagullsoverLondon]

so the fa cup semi in 2019 when they beat us 1-0 should get overturned and we get awarded the trophy

I think we would have to beat Watford 6-0 first, but hey, with our current squad and manager, that's definitely possible

So, 2018 F.A.Cup winners was

Brighton and Hove Albion.

A
It’s only fair.

I suspect that something similar is being said on Watford messageboards.

 

[Easy 10]

relegated from div 1 to div 3

But then reinstated to Div 2 (Championship) on appeal.

Isn’t the PL a sporting/business organisation made up of just 20 members with a set of rules drafted and agreed by its constituent members? The PL is saying that one of its members has broken its rules. There must have been some serious discussion b4 highlighting a litany of breaches.

 

[Triggaaar]

This would set an amazing precedent.

It's a bit weird to charge a PL team though, while Real Madrid, Barca, PSG etc just carry on as if FFP didn't exist.

Transfer ban as maximum but will set a huge precedent for cheating if no material punishment.

They'll buy several windows players just before then. Barca did that.

okay okay, we replay the final. us Vs watford.

but it has to be with our squad and manager we had then, same goes for them. sorry rdz, you're out, welcome back sir chris! might struggle with murray's pace though...

 

[willalbion]

Absolutely. That and a huge fine, a transfer embargo and a ban on European competitions. These bans will last until Man City's lawyers get them overturned - which will be about a week after they're implemented. And they'll get the fine repaid. And the points re-instated. With a bonus in both cases to make up for the fact that City's good name has been besmirched.

I have a very good friend who is a City fan, he’s utterly convinced the authorities have it in for
City & only City.

The ESL looking attractive again in parts of Manchester.

 

[highflyer]

£30k fine incoming...

Have you not read up on this? It is SUPER SUPER SERIOUS.

So, £50,000

 

[southstandandy]

Just announced a £1.50 fine (suspended for 2 years) and banned from selling half and half scarves for their next match.

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

A dullard is explaining it all on R5 now.

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

Our KM is suggesting that the Citeh investigation is 'coincidentally' being launched just as HMG is attempting to bring in a football regulator....

@El Presidente has been dining out on this all day.

Financing another Ferrari?

Will they get time to pay?

There will be no appeal process, if they are found guilty

A chance for the proper goodbye he deserved

 

[BrianSwan]

Fine them £100M, ban them 1 window, and spread the money to the other teams in the league.
