Financial Fair Play investigation

I think clubs will look quite favourably at us now tbh.

They know if we get punished after complying with the PL and being told were doing OK, it coukd happen to them.
 
Aston Villa Losses:

18/19 - 69 mil
19/20 - 99 mil
20/21 - 37 mil

Total = 205 mil

allowed = 105 mil

so villa are allowed to just claim over 100 mil of those losses is covid-19 related but we can't?
Erm no. No one comes anywhere near us for claimed Covid losses.

I dont think that's possible to do.
Imagine the day after that's put on us and we lose Richie to an ACL.
If there are hard limits to what a club can lose, then they absolutely can do it.

If there aren’t those limits, then the rules mean nothing.

I’m not happy about any of this, but something has happened since the Premier League received our accounts this month.
 
sadly you're both on the money. The usual bedwetters creating mania and panic.

I think some people do need to chill with regards expected sanctions. The PL LOVE Manchester City, and the allegations possibly go way back to the ‘Aguerrrooo’ moment, which is possibly considered the greatest PL moment ever. The PL do not want to boot City and all their billions out of the league, or deprive them of their Aguero moment.

That’s not to mention the amount of money that City and indeed Everton have invested in their local communities. We are talking hundreds of millions of pounds of investment, billions if you add the two investments together.

Indeed, the MP’s will need to work out exactly what they are moaning about when it comes to that forthcoming charade where they harp on about independent regulation.

The punishments aren’t going to be all that harsh imo. The PL want to hold onto the likes of City, they don’t want them moving elsewhere or wrapping themselves up in expensive legal arguments.
 
Well no because the principle remains the same. The club were told they had done nothing wrong as we're all other clubs.

They were told they were not subject to a sanction at the time (12 months ago), they weren’t given permission to break the rules for evermore.

The situation has changed since 12 months ago, and Everton have been given a different response. Makes sense.
 
..…folk post what they hope the outcome will be, it’s human nature.

I have no idea. I’m happier that we’re not isolated in this & City will also have to go through due process but it does illustrate the absolute shambles the custodians of our club have made of running us. They deserve nothing but our wrath.

My only positive is if we survive this season and then the sanctions imposed we’ll be stronger for it as long as it manifests change. We had relegation to fight but now we have this.
 

Some good points in that article, in particularly the question everyone is asking about what, if we've run all the accounts and every major transaction throughout the whole period, they can actually charge us with since any breach of the rules would have been overseen and approved by them - are they going to charge themselves?

Hopefully the club has a strong record of all communications with the league, because if they have approved our financial dealings I'm not sure how they can come back and punish us for them. Strange business.
 
I thought the whole point of the timing of the Richarlison sale was so it was on last years accounts.

Also, we spent like 20p net in 21/22 before Richy went
Yes, me too. Something has changed the PL’s mind, though, and it can’t be a coincidence that it comes a couple of weeks after receiving our accounts.
 
Just to let you know mate. People on Twitter are laughing at this


Hahahahah I thought I was a bit sad posting on a forum, tell you what, I’m not as a sad as taking a screenshot of something someone has posted on a forum to then post it on another forum. Haha. But I’m glad, gets people talking at least.
