Financial Fair Play investigation

[Bez2k2k]

I honestly think nothing can happen with this now. We have been charged with 1 thing. If anything happens other than a fine then they simply have to send Man City down the river. They may relegate them, strip them of titles etc, it opens such a scary door.

If they are saying we have messed up with our spending then they are admitting fault themselves as apparently we did everything with the Premier Leagues approval. If it is to do with the stadium and it’s a foresight or an accounting error then this should not affect anything to do with football such as transfer bans, points deductions etc.

To put finely I don’t think anything can actually happen with this now. And they can’t actually advise the premier league to do anything.

FFP as a set of rules makes little sense overall. A heavy fine for a club in a precarious position would be a bit mad too.

Pretty sure any sanction they impose will be suspended anyway.

They can't accuse us of being reckless for the past 30 months.

Yes, slap on the wrist and brush any issue under the carpet quick smart. Its just pointless noise when there are way bigger fish to fry.

 

[blueblood]

Yes that's Mr Testicles Dave

It might as well be for the number of times the club has kicked us in the balls over the last few years.

Agree. We'll be fine.

I agree, well presented.
I'd say City, United, Chelsea and Forest and Bournemouth, on the same basis could be done as well.
For the good of the game, some common sense must be used.
UTFTs!

Still can't get my head round the fact we live in a world where the solution to not having enough money/losing too much money is to sanction a party with am additional fine....

A fine is not meant to be a solution.

It's a punishment for poor management of the club and a deterrent not to do it again.

We only have ourselves to blame.

If I were buying Everton the first thing I'd want to know is how likely it is that Everton would get a points deduction....

First thing o would want to know is ,

Who is that fat, old grey haired man ?

Why is he sitting in my chair?

And why won’t he leave ?

 

[Tel001]

Yes that's Mr Testicles Dave

You do need show some balls in these situations

 

[Davideeyore]

Matt Hughes at it again then.

 

[Dusty Rhodes]

Cant screw us without screwing the golden cow Man City. Nothing will happen with this

If I were buying Everton.. I'd stop and then not buy Everton.

 

[Tipp blue]

I think the clubs threatening litigation are actually doing us a favour.. no way the PL would want that kind of case and the media circus that will come with it.
