In addition to the reply from the other chap, I’d point out that UEFA bought charges against city with absolutely no credible evidence and tried to ban them from competition. So I don’t see how one could reach the conclusion that city bribed them?
What evidence do have for these well documented FFP failings?
You are correct, and the outcome of the hearing won’t be known for a couple of years. However indications are that the PL is basing their charges on the Der Speigle documents (out of context, doctored emails stolen from MCFC and released by a convicteded fraudster and blackmailer). UEFA based their case on the same emails, and the CAS (European sporting appeal court) found that there was no veracity to them and no evidence of any wrong doing on MCFCs part, apart from non cooperation with UEFAs ‘investigation’.
No they’re not! They have the highest revenue in world football, and have one of the lowest ‘net spends’ (as useless as that metric is) of all the ‘major teams’ over the last 5 yrs. They are nowhere near failing FFP!
What’s illigal about Manchester City?
We still get bills and charity letters for the previous owners 5 yrs later. Every one gets rts, no longer at this address, and we asked royal mail not to deliver stuff not addressed to us. Didn’t make any difference
