“You've basically used more money from your owners own personal wealth than is permitted per year and TBF you've been incredibly creative about how you went to achieve this. “

Please tell me you’re not being serious…?

Of course he is serious because that's exactly what happened. Oh my days

The PL should never have allowed Abu Dhabi in to start with though. That's where this all went wrong.

The full list of over 100 alleged Financial Fair Play breaches by Manchester City cover a nine-year period between the 2009-10 and 2017-18 seasons, as outlined in an explosive statement from the Premier League.

Following a four-year investigation into the club, which had been delayed by legal challenges, the league announced that the alleged breaches had been referred to a commission, with City facing a range of possible punishments if found guilty.

They range from points deductions to even potentially being expelled from the league, although the process is set to be a lengthy one. Meanwhile, Everton have been hit with a record-breaking deduction of 10 points by the Premier League for allegedly breaching the profit and sustainability rules in the 2021/22 campaign.


Man City recently commented on the ongoing investigation into their finances in their annual report. The report states: "On 6 February 2023, in accordance with Premier League Rule W.82.1, the Premier League referred a number of alleged breaches of the Premier League Rules by Manchester City Football Club to a Commission under Premier League Rule W.3.4.

You’re accusing your own club of taking brown envelopes now?!

Literally not anything that you said you complete idiot. The PL doesn’t believe me either, what on earth are you going on about?! You said we’ve used more money from our owners than permitted, how on earth does that make any sense whatsoever, what do you think is permitted?! It’s the P&L, not the balance sheet!

posted on 18/11/23

That was us just about the revenue and sponsorship deals too.


Then next load of charges relate to not releasing full details of manager and player payments.

City clearly hiding the full details for a very good reason. They dont show you in a good light do they? 😂

You've been very naughty. Time to take the punishment now Melts. You're a Tinpot club. That's all you will ever be.

You've been hiding the full details of where the money has come from.

It states specifically on manager and player payments too on the next set of charges.

Where has that money come from if not your owner?

That’s not what you said, you said we put more in than permitted from our owner. You even said we could have just grown organically by him putting 90m a year in. I’ll repeat, how much do you think is permitted on a P&L?!

Also where did you get Brian Marwood being all over it from?

The club may well be guilty, you don’t clearly even understand the basics though and yet are confident to say for definite we’re guilty.

I’m not getting into arguing whether we are or not as I’ve said all along, none of us have the details to be able to do that. I’ll do exactly what I did with the CAS judgment and wait for the evidence to come out. That you can’t do that, despite it not even being the club you support, says a lot more about you than me. If we’re found guilty, then I’ll be a lot more annoyed with our owners than you will be.

City haven't done anything wrong though guys remember......there's nothing to worry about.

😂😂😂

Most of the charges relates to pre 2014 when City were fined for breaking FFP.
City has not failed FFP ever since. Even the hacked emails related to between 2009 and 2013. So fans calling City cheats and bleating about tainted titles etc should have that in mind.

Money paid to Mancini by Al Jazira was £1.7m before he joined City. So you think this amount is worth hiding from the PL?
Etisalat sponsorship deal was £15m per year. This deal was not looked at in the CAS case because it was time barred. The PL think it’s disguised equity funding. If Etisalat can provide evidence that the money came from them, then I don’t know how the PL will state otherwise.
Third issue relates to image rights. Again, City stated this publicly in their account. If the PL punishes City for this, then expect many PL clubs to go under as well.

United cannot be fined for breaking FFP while Everton gets a 10 points deduction.
The PL should be consistent about its own rules.
