Financial Fair Play investigation

[Azza]

If this were anything seriously to do with tax then HMRC would be all over this and it wouldn't be a PL matter.

Presumably they are but if it's something that has compromised PL rules then yes they will be investigating too.

Comes out in the media that 4 clubs are threatening to sue EFC as well as potentially the PL.

Within 48 hours, the actual charge we are faced with finally hits the media.

Hundred percent leaked by the PL to try and save face after the threat of legal action.

How much standing does an organisations rules actually have in law? We haven't broken the law we may have broken some rules.. so can other teams actually have a legal claim against us?

I mean, have we even broken any rules?

We were rock bottom when the Tevez thing came out and tbf not many of us could have complained if the PL had deducted 10 points there and then. I think it was about September. But they used the phrase 'Not fair on the fans', and obviously didn't see us winning 7 out of our last 9 games.

So there is your precedent. And like the Blunts were back then, clubs are clutching at straws to deflect their own inadequencies.

I think you'll get a transfer embago and a hefty fine though. And the City comparison is true. They won't want to upset the apple cart too much.

Yes and Dele Alli did not quite have the same impact as Tevez

To any lurkers in here.
Sniff it!!!!
You wish your owners would break FFP like we do!!

Foreshocks are earthquakes that precede larger earthquakes in the same location.

Forgive me for writing this but it is something that has been on my mind for some time.

What if the last two seasons close calls are just the warmup?

As the stadium finish line is in sight the main event finally happens. Complete boardroom disarray, Mosh stripping the squad to pay for the ground and massive FFP sanctions are applied.

I'm not confident a happy ending is on the horizon.

I love this forum, but when people use Mbappe GIFs as a response to someones heartfelt post, it really does make me consider leaving.

That's a massive presumption!

No 'kin chance.

Leeds and Leicester are going to be crushed to learn that they are, indeed, just bad.

People keep comparing us to City, we are nothing like City, they committed fraud, have some of the best legal minds in the world and will rightly get away with everything.

We just broke the rules straight up, shrugged and said "COVID mate", we deserve to be liquidated.

One thing I don't understand is
man city broke 115 rules. Ok fair enough.

but what did we break? One?

Probably zero rules broken.
