Guardiola to be found out in the premier league

It’s not really just a FFP thing. If my understanding is close, they are accused of tons of financial indiscretions, which would ultimately "help" with FFP etc, but would be illegal even if FFP never existed.

Yeah from a brief read it looks like they’ve been cooking their books with a massive decrease in wage bill one season coupled with a massive upturn in sponsorship. Findings of players/managers being paid another wage through third party companies/teams owned by Mansour etc.

All very uncouth. If true of course.

I very much doubt City will be the only ones at it.

Footballs been a rats nest for years.

Being kind, they have opaque financial arrangements. Like you say, across their whole sporting group, not just City.
 

This will defo be us at some point. They will take a detailed look at who has been or was financing us. The losses wrote off against Covid was also debatable.

They need to look at the LFC Warrior sports deal while they’re at it

Warrior is a subsidiary of New balance who eventually took over the deal, FSG don't have 1 cent in shares in warrior or New Balance so how is the same thing as Man City, utterly bizarre take mate, is it because New Balance HQ's are in Boston lol, i guess Bayern Munich should get the same seeing Adidas HQ's are in Herzogenaurach Bavaria about 40 miles from Munich where Adidas also has a 30% stake in Bayern.

Anyway going off tangent, about time this was done, teams who have lost titles because of City's financial doping, teams who have finished 5th have lost hundreds of millions in revenue for City stealing a CL spot, teams have lost cup finals to city shameless cheating, and teams who have finished 18th have been relegated due to City being in the PL instead of them being that yo yo joke of a club.

They should just leave those titles and cups to City, everyone knows they are fradulent, let them have that stigma attached that those trophies have the stench of cheating attached to them to all concerned at that fradulent cheating club, and most of all this is the clubs in the PL who brought this. clubs who are shareholders in the PL, and also PL rules state any charges bought and found guilty of, the accused club cannot take it to CAS, and also PL investigations are not time barred, hopefully PIF, MBS and NUFC just saw their dreams shattered which is also a good thing, they just signed up to their 4th saudi/PIF owner linked deal last month, i reckon they'll be putting more owner linked commercial deals ceasing while this City case is ongoing.

They would be illegal if FFP didn't exist but they wouldn't need to do them if FFP didn't exist. They could have just paid Mancini double legitimately as opposed to setting up some dodgy consultation role at another club. And there wouldn't have been an investigation so they wouldn't be withholding anything.

Lots of moral victories for your club to be had here do you think?

They did a deal with the Red Sox at the exact same time, big coincidence
