Never in one year, but I’d be interested to know how much City spent in early UAE era converted into current transfer fees. Transfer fees are unrecognisable from 10 years ago.

Maybe
You're wrong, no?
didn't they give out long term contracts so they could pay over 7-8 years instead of 1 year like you are saying?

They said not long after the charges were reported that it could take up to 4 years to sort out.

Someone will bring it up at some point but then some money will flow to some MPs and the FA will give up like cowards.

On the surface looking at figures no,
Take inflation into account, and LEGITIMATE income im sure the ratio becomes very different.
I.e how much of cities spending at lower figures was from bogus sponsorship and the such they are being charged with….

The inflation in this instance is of Chelsea's own making. They ruined the market in January with the Mudryk and Enzo deals. Their latest scheme with their kit sponsor is exactly what City were doing with the bogus sponsorships. City also weren't using 8 year contracts as an FFP loophole. I'm not defending City by any means but what Chelsea are doing is unprecedented and equally worthy of investigation.

They’ve both tried repeated, dubious “loopholes”.
As anyone who ever engaged in, say, an income tax film scheme or stamp duty land tax scheme might tell you, what starts as a punt on “professional” advice can very quickly go very bad indeed.
I suspect, based on what I know via work, that Chelsea will get away with the contract stuff, as the amortisation thing is legit, just no one else had the balls or was mad enough to do it. That said it could all turn to **** in terms of being lumbered with multiple deadweight players that will place them in breach thanks to that clown Todd. They do need to be very careful about fake sponsorship deals.
I do think City will be screwed - their early years investment sponsorship strategy has aged like warm milk. In the end I expect them to take their medicine (which will probably do no more than **** then up for one or two seasons) and blame their advisors.

Mancheater City: 115
I can't say I dislike them as heavily as I dislike ManUre or Chelsea, but the way they bought their stance in the Elite of England (not Europe, heh) is still annoying nonetheless. It would be really funny if they carried on losing, and finished just fourth. Especially if you consider some of...

The team thread and the financial doping thread are different. Hope this helps.

Not the best Video. Because it's too true. Everton will get points deduction and Man City
i hope the video is picked up by the media.

Everton 1 charge = -12 points
Manchester City 115 charges = -1380 points

A calm and collected individual.
Micheal Oliver is one of the pricks who go to the UAE and get paid to referee UAE domestic matches.
Same guy who was on VAR duty.
I dont trust Oliver when it comes to Man City. He will give them the benefit of any doubt and a little more.
