Have you ever heard such bollocks in all your life?I read an unsubstantiated post on r/soccer saying only 12.8 million of this is from non UAE sponsors etc
City and Financial Doping | Charged by PL with numerous FFP breaches | Hearing begins 16th September 2024
- Thread starter VanGaalEra
- Start date
It would be really interesting to know the actual sponsorship number that's not linked to the UAE in seriousness though
They probably have some decent sponsors after what they’ve won but when you look at the crowds they draw on tv and in the stadium it’s not going to be many big sponsors. I think it’s mostly kids who consume City content on the likes of Tik tok because they play FIFA and want to see the likes of Haaland. You can’t really sell wine or business communication software to that crowd so they’re always going to have dodgy sponsors like crypto exchanges anyway because it’s cool with the kids.
More because they are companies that are much harder to find information on than because they are cool I would have thought.
If you take out all the linked sponsors, it would be good to know the actual revenue.
Everton facing point deduction, probably Chelsea too. But no news about those 115 charges. The only reason why the Barcelona scandal came out is because they are broke and can’t afford to bribe the refs anymore.
But yeah, VAR is the main problem in football right now.
of course Chelsea and Everton should get punished if they did something wrong, but it’ strange how Chelsea were under no investigation untill the new owners came out first after they found out what had been going on. Money really talks.

If City get away with no serious punishment, the rest of football should just refuse to play them.
I like the idea of every team putting a young team of academy players out against them and City would win the title with 38 wins every season but it would be meaningless.
The other teams don't need to do anything for their titles to be meaningless. They've cheated, simple as.
I like this idea too, but you would never get enough teams on board with it.
They're already meaningless. If they're top I basically look at the league from second downwards and don't really consider them part of it. I've not seen even seen a single highlight or any football from them since the FA Cup final.
Is it true that City have been caught with 'Sponsor Companies' which had headquarters based out of post boxes in some random locations?
If that's true how is that not as damning as it comes? Like why is everyone pretending this is normal and not doing anything about it?

Basically. Journalists have tried to go to the HQ of these sponsors and it's just empty buildings.
One was apparently a terraced house in Watford with a turnover of about 15k and the MD’s picture was taken from Amazon
If everyone fielded a youth team against them and let them have the 3 points without any fight they would be smashing the kids with double figure scorelines. How long would Haaland and co stay there when it is obviously such a sham.
This can't be true
Haaland probably already feels like this TBH
Wasn't it found that the profile picture of the supposed CEO of their betting partner was a stock image of "business woman"?
Cheaters
If Chelsea ends up getting points reduction, City need to be relegated and have their titles revoked.
When's city turn ?
It seems since 2018 when they began to refuse to hand over their finances to the Premier League they haven't even bothered to hide it. They probably thought feck it either they do nothing or they sink them down the divisions, either way they're going to make the most of it while they can and pump as much money is as possible while keeping the vague appearance of legitimacy.
I'd take it one step further and just default their games, all of them. No need to give them fixtures to televise and easy wins to crow about. Just default, everything is a 3-0 for them but no TV coverage. That would get the sponsers scuttling away... oh.... well, some of them. That needs all the other teams to align on that though, which you can't imagine they would, unfortunately. It would send the strongest message.
It seems this information was handed over by Chelsea themselves from what I am reading. Why did they do that?
They probably didn't realise what they were doing?
They discovered it via the financial due diligence process during the takeover - and were proactive about it to help reach a settlement with UEFA. They were so alarmed that they earmarked funds specifically to pay off fines:

It makes you wonder what other clubs are doing as well. Chelsea (under Roman), City and Newcastle would be the obvious clubs with issues but I am sure other clubs won't be totally clean.
Probably anyone who has bought a player from Africa or South America, in all honesty - there are so many dodgy agents / representatives out there.
no we’re not.
yes we are
yes we are.
Exactly as reliable as some random newbie on the caf.
Why do people automatically believe complete bollocks if it's on twitter?
We need the Premier League to release some kind of update on this, its been 9 months since they were charged and we've heard nothing since while City have been able to continue playing and buying players as usual.
Asahi is the world’s second most sold beer, and the parent company is one of the biggest in the world. (Drinks companies). They own Schweppes, Peroni. Loadsa shit.
I mean… City are cheats, but their dealings now are on the money and mostly legit. It’s the cheating to get to that level that’s corrupt/illegal.

There crooks ŕight everyone knows, and proven bar CAS.. now the FA charges cannot go to CAS , the delay now is for them to pay enough off to get away with it.. as the Crook pep who was manager at Barca who are Crooks said we got good lawyers .. that's all its about ..
where not crooks. cas said are accounts wear the most beautiful thered ever seen.
So why did City refuse to cooperate and tried to get the FA banned from viewing said accounts through the courts?
Harold Bornstein works for.CAS these days.
the fa just wanted see how beautiful our books were so they could tell the big four our secrets and win trebles of their own. we were wise to their underhanded ways though.
bigly.
