chartpolski 20,585 Posted February 6, 2023 Report Share Posted February 6, 2023 Man City have been charged by the EPL of over 100 offences concerning Financial Fair Play. I bet Chelsea’s lawyers and financial people are in a panic as to how to explain spending half a billion pounds on players this season and staying within the rules !

jok 3,058 Posted February 6, 2023 Report Share Posted February 6, 2023 Just been having a conversation regarding these figures. In our day, when you mentioned a million it was like a dream. Now, in every waking breath, they are talking billions and trillions. We are on the brink in every sector so where does all this come from? The country is on its knees yet we hear of staggering amounts being paid, for what, a football game. Incomprehensible. Jok. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
chartpolski 20,585 Posted February 6, 2023 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2023 A million would be nice, but to be honest, if a young couple win a million, they could buy a nice house, a decent motor, have a holiday, but couldn’t retire on what was left ! They’d still have to have an income. Bit different for us old ‘uns who probably have a mortgage free house, etc. I could manage on a million ! LOL ! Cheers. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jukel123 6,647 Posted February 6, 2023 Report Share Posted February 6, 2023 (edited) My instinct is they will get away with it Charts. They have in the past. Money will smooth them an oily excuse from punishment. I know I'm a cynical old git but I am increasingly pissed off with the beautiful game. We had the farcical World Cup obviously bought by Quatar, and now, 'Sir' Jim Ratcliffe is favourite to buy my club Man U. This is a guy that allegedly funded his favourite skiing club with £ 16 million from his own charity ( which enjoys favourable tax breaks) in order to allow underprivileged kids the chance to learn how to ski. Turns out you need €25000 per year to join the club and €6 grand a year membership fee. Not many poor kids can afford that.lol He is also not exactly an enlightened employer.Allegedly. I guess Man U will get the Glazers mark 2 whoever buys the club. Most of my old mates have now deserted their birthright club and watch either Salford City or Newton Heath. Big gate football is now strictly business. Edited February 6, 2023 by jukel123 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jok 3,058 Posted February 6, 2023 Report Share Posted February 6, 2023 Charts. I totally agree. As already said, my mate and work colleague, won the big one. He bought a house, new Range Rover and started a new life. He had given everything to his Ex so basically was starting afresh. Had a beer with him the other day and to be fair no one would have a clue as to his good fortune because he is that kind of guy . Had me , again, buying his beer ffs. Point of this is that the million covered his life but not his life style. He still works but maybe not quite so much. Jok. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Don't hold your breath mate. I reckon a few points deduction and a meaningless fine is all they will get. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
