Manchester City’s Financial Doping

[Beany]

Crazy to me, I really thought the average city fan knew that they were kind of mocking FFP and have been for years. It's like an open secret that they're sponsored by businesses with ties to their owners and so on...

Yep. Surely they noticed that most of their sponsors are closely tied to or simply owned by their owners and wider families

My only question is whether the PL can revisit allegations previously tried by UEFA - i can’t see how the same issues can be argued Again (though I appreciate many are still fresh).

 

[Riou]

They're right about Chelsea tho, but what a bunch of d ickheads

How can they think they aren't the super evil bad guys here and are the ones getting picked on?

I guess Hitler and his Nazi lads probably thought like this too, ffs!

 

[GoonerJeeves]

What did we do to catch strays??????????

We're among the "big three" apparantly. I'm quite liking it. Dictatorial eh.

 

[MikelHadADream]

You have to ask why would the PL drop this bombshell if they weren’t committed to following through on it. Failing to act would arguably make them look worse if than if they went ahead and nailed City.

 

[Blood on the Tracks]

I need to keep a few in the chamber with agitators like Trilly sending for me constantly.

How many death threats have you received this week?

What did we do to catch strays??????????

Arteta is definitely the one leaking this ****, we all know he would...City fans probably know that too.

If Arteta ever leaves us and goes back to manage City, he probably has enough dirt to put both Stan and Edu in jail knowing him

Our two title "challenges" in 20 years gives us elite status. Wankers thought everything they do is above board. Been relevant for 14 years and still cant see why.

Why would I chicken out when you don't even know what the case entails? You're saying it's not a freaking online rag but assume the UK government would let a privat company like the PL judge whether there's been tax fraud

Not in the business of making bets with homeless destitute crackheads either, even when I know I win they don't have anything I want from them.

Lol. Yeah so homeless lol. I own a big house mate posted the photos. You want me to take you photos now of my 4 room suite in Medellin. I read the charging document it isnt a slap on the wrist whitewash. Who said pl sends people to jail this is an organizational review? But if tax crimes are found which is highly likely the accountants for sure going to jail in a separate governmental proceeding.

Give me that sweet moniker @jones this is not a fine and go home document. Otherwise i think you

 

[bingobob]

Where did you find tax fraud and financial fraud that would be a case for actual courts not the PL. They've been charged with failing to give accurate information about the club's financial position.

That stuff is long known to anyone who read the Football Leaks, there's even a document showing that Mancini used to get an extra secret salary per month. Ridiculous enough that they only act now more than a decade later, who knows why exactly this has happened but if they were serious about it they could've long done a lot about it.

Secret salary suggests potential tax evasion.

The sweet, sweet irony that the FA will levy a fine on City which they will pay with freshly laundered money.. What a farce..

Everybody wants their share

At least Chelsea have a legitimate fanbase, like it or not. I've seen Chelsea fans before they had Russian money. I never saw a City fan until 2009.

Not to say City don't have fans, I'm sure they do, but are they globally more lauded like Man United, Arsenal, Liverpool and even Sp**s? Not a chance.

No the press has already named whistleblower it is not Arteta

 

[UpTheGunnerz]

Miss the old city… ****e team but oasis rocking out legendary gig at Maine road.

How many death threats have you received this week?

Not as many as Man City’s charges thankfully

[BaZZe]

Replaying games would be the funniest punishment if it meant they'd have to replay every FA fixture since 2008

 

[Nunowoolmez]

@Riou

What ? No way. He cant have said that surely ?

Hes trolling if he did.

 

[Farzad Stoned]

Why you getting death threats?

 

[Farzad Stoned]

Haaland going to look to bounce along with Pep and number of players.
