Actually, some of the biggest stars could try to move on, not only to play in the bigger leagues but also to try to clear their names. it might be two years before they're a top four club again. One for getting back to the prem and one where they'll finish 8th.
You can sponsor yourself (or more technically speaking, sponsor your team with a separate entity you own) it just has to be for the fair market value. See City & Etihad. Same goes for the Chelsea hotel sale story. The sale has been confirmed to have occurred at the fair market value.
It's only right, if the case is proven. City paid out for staff, including players. Paid their wages through dubious means. They also appear to have been deliberately obtuse and prevaricated in their assistance with the FA. Now that they're selling their high value players, they now appear to be within the FFP rules.
The best thing I've read regarding this case is the fact that just because the Premier League may kick City out, it doesn't mean that the EPL have to accept them, they are a separate entity. City could be kicked out of all competitions, as much as I think this should happen to the cheating scum I highly doubt anything as severe will be given to them. The idea of buying your way around the rules is very common in the region where City's owners are from and I am absolutely dreading the thought that they will be able to do it with this.
I’m a Newcastle fan and I don’t think we should just be able to throw whatever money we like in with dodgy sponsorships, but I also don’t think it’s fair that we have all this potential investment and instead we’re having to sell young players to stay above the FFP line. My compromise would be that the spending cap is fixed for everyone and it’s based off the average turnover of the highest turnover club in the league over the past 3 years. That way everyone has the same spending potential if they can get the investment in.
That way would make the premier league team hard to compete in europe. And the quality of the league itself will go down due to lack of quality players. Remember that wages also count as "spending"..
What I have an issue with is how can you judge fair market value! You would expect that Newcastle could command a higher value in Saudi due to there owners therefore there being more interest in that country. Just like spurs might get more from a Korean business than say Man U cause of son but then most other countries Man U would command a higher fee.m than spurs.
@@progress2success402yes but at least it won’t be ridiculous. I imagine it is quite loose. So Newcastle could probably get a sponsorship as high as any club in the prem. I think anyone with common sense would realise that is probably too high given other clubs have a greater global appeal, but at least it is bounded in that way. Rather than just taking £1bn from a Saudi company pumping money in under the state’s orders
Yeah the problem with that though, is the whole point of FFP was to stop billionaires pumping money into a business that doesn't actually generate that level of revenue. Now, we all know that it hasn't worked like that. Your model however, would allow the likes of say Southampton being bought out, pumped up with owners money to the level of Man City and then what? What happens when the magic billionaire stops funding them?
Nothing will happen as so many people are involved the people prosecuting would be arresting themselves. They'll get a slap on the wrist and it'll be swept under the rug.
Is there a fair market price for ticket prices? Each club is allowed to charge whatever ticket price it want, why should there be fair market valuation for sponsorship?
There are some rules regarding ticket prices (like away tickets capped at £30), but in general supply and demand that deals with that. With sponsorship, the sponsoring company is basically saying "We believe that our revenue will go up by at least this much by being associated with them" Fair market value is basically just ensuring these valuations are reasonable.
@manudude02 That's why the FFP rules on sponsorship doesnt make sense. Because a club can sell a ticket for $80m, as long as someone is willing to pay, it's fair. Okay.. the same club gets a sponsorship for $80m, because it's call "sponsorship" it must go through fair market valuation. Does this make any sense? Believe me, soon clubs will be selling sponsorship through ticket sales and we will be back to zero.
Not even a City fan, and I understand the charges and controversies. But you can't deny that the players have been exceptional. They're human beings, not machines, and regardless of the money involved they have still performed top class stuff
They wouldn't have some of these players, and probably would have had Pep as manager, if they'd played by the rules that every other club has had to abide by.
@@creepingbrain Fully understand, but are the players to blame? They still played and won trophies. Chelsea + UTD have also spent a crazy amount, and yeah, don't even need to speak about where UTD are. Chelsea might be doing better now, but the 8 year contracts are another way of avoiding FFP. That will come back on them when they want to sell players lol.

If found guilty, I honestly don't think the Premier League will relegate them. For me, the best case scenario if they can't be relegated is acknowledgement that any year they were found to have cheated, strip all titles, accomplishments, etc... And for the next 3 years, they CAN NOT win the Title or qualify or compete in any domestic or European cups, regardless of their points. So they can stay up (again, don't think they will be thrown out) but you can't compete for any titles.
TOON Fan. I do think we need a better structure of FFP in place allowing clubs with owners who have the money to invest. You could say that other clubs that are in billions of dept need to face some kind of punishment instead of just looking the other way and in some cases being helped by the PL. any clubs spring to mind. If anything needs looking at it’s those clubs that need to be looked at as well. But I’m sure that will never happen. It’s safer to keep people away from the table instead of asking those who are sat at the table be to leave.
If found guilty, ownership and management should be punished first. The coach, his assistants, the players, and the fans had nothing to do with those decisions.
FFP is designed to keep the top clubs as the top clubs. It isn't fit for purpose. We have clubs with no debt not able to spend, but clubs with hundreds of millions of debt able to.
No they protect Man City, which is not a big club. Without the oil money having come in before the FFP rules, that club would be in League One. Newcastle is way bigger but can't spend like City
@@declangaming24everyone would shuffle up one, so 4 will be promoted to the prem then the rest of the leagues would follow until the league man city go in
On the pitch teams need to stop playing like poor imitations of Man City. We need to see a re-emergence of different styles of play and ways of winning even if it is more route one and ugly at times.
thats what it was originally instated for, but the landscape of the PL and its ownership has drastically changed, with almost most owners in the league being a multi billionaire, if not, at least close to a billionaire. I think that reason is kind of redundant nowadays.
The issue is that we are all looking at this emotionally, as football supporters, but these proceedings are more about the intrinsic corruption in corporate businesses and how they ALL skirt tax and valuation laws. I hate what City, Newcastle and PSG etc. are doing to the game, but I am just as concerned by what the Glazers and the like have done to the game, sucking every last penny out of supporters who can't offered to go to a match, or pay the separate subscription fees to watch League, Cup and European matches, or buy a kit for themselves or their kids!
@@countofbiarritz yeah those ones to stop this kind of spending well above your income, so if the oily money 💰 went you could still survive 👍 those ones.

One thing that has become glaringly obvious to me is that eventually, money will ruin everything. Does it make things better in the short term? Of course. But eventually things will get worse.
That's not why Rangers were put into the 3rd division. They were relegated because they entered administration it was nothing to do with HMRC's witch-hunt
As a city fan I agree with the APT rule not being changed. I want the league to stay competitive, but a billion a week coming in? Not fair on the other clubs. Edit: “MaN cHeAtY” yeah I’ve heard them all. Keep it to yourself and move on with your life.
Wait, if man city got a billion a season why they only spent 100m on transfer windows? The most they paid for grealish 100m. Haaland only 60m. They do not spend like arsenal and man united. Maybe back in the days 2010 or something. They do not win much at that times. When pep took over they started to win things but they do not spend lavishly. Also where chelsea get the money to spent billions these recent season? But because they do not win much, no one complaining.
You’re an idiot, some of the charges are to do with payments away from their actual books. What’s the point in making a comment without reading any of the actual context
Chelsea was able to spend billions because they had a transfer ban from 2019 to 2021, so they had a blank FFP slate essentially when Boehly came in, which meant they could spend the quite frankly ridiculous numbers they had.
you people don't need to keep saying "Liverpool fan". It's automatically understood that 95% of comments on any football thread are from Liverpool fans, because you all lead such busy full lives.
@@daleviker5884 sorry mate... didn't know I hit a nerv there. I just like the truth...I don't hate or judge, it's not in our hands! God bless you lad 🙏
Juventus got knocked back a couple of divisions for bribing officials. Rangers got set back 3 divisions for financial irregularity. They are both big teams in their leagues and they both came back. So it wouldn't be unprecedented if city were as well.
The closest situation I know of was in Australian rugby league, where Melbourne Storm were stripped of multiple titles for salary cap breaches. There have been other punishments in Australia in both the NRL and AFL for financial cheating, also for systematic doping regimes. Just saying, it is possible to deal with these situations, if the governing body has enough courage.
Yes and all above board. Their success equalled money their huge attendances equalled money. City had no success no huge attendances.....just got lucky with oil money , then success then attendances. UTFT👍
If you love football you should want city to get relegated/title stripped, you should be angry with every single point they have stolen from your club. Saying "they'll get away with it" just means you're fine with your own club suffering from city's anti-football operation.
Nah. If they are guilty, sure, strip the titles. But don't give it to the runner ups, just void the title. As an Arsenal Fan, I don't want a title to be gained that way and I'm pretty sure Liverpool fans would feel the same.
@GamerFlair - Not the way I'd want Liverpool to get titles but it's what happens in the Olympics with drugs cheats. Unless you award the titles to the team who were cheated out of a title the history books will always show the cheats name against that season
Tbh (and I am a united fan) the issue seems to boil down to "we're jealous because we have less money " I don't agree with ffp rules at all. If a billionaire decides what he wants to do is give a billion quid to a football club then surely it's his money he can do what he likes with it?
It doesn't matter what you or I or anyone else agrees with. The fact of the matter is ALL the clubs in the league agreed to those rules in order to take part. They may be trying to challenge some of them now in court, and some of them do need changing, but they have to abide by whatever rules are set by the PL. And City didn't, if the charges are upheld & they're found guilty.
I tend to agree, Money corrupts, the more money the more power to corrupt. The old saying; Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Business, politics, sport, where ever there's lots of money.
@@alexbasha0508 Probably not even relegation😂 I think in law, to accuse a whole sporting institution with that many charges its roughly similarly tough to find evidence for each charge Also the lawyers they've got
Whatever happens it's sad for football that a country with an appalling record of human rights abuses and using slave labour was ever able to pass a fit and proper owner's test in the first place.
Mancini himself (when he got into a bit of bother with the Italian tax authority) admitted that while manager at City, half his salary was paid by Abu Dhabi "sports" company w/o going through City's finances. Clearly, the wrongdoings are there. Whether they are found guilty of it, however, is another matter. Could be a whitewashing, technicality, statute of limitations, minor fine or whatever. We'll just have to wait and see.
City, if found guilty of all charges, should be given a rolling point deduction meaning the points wont wipe off at the end of the season, transfer embargo for 10 years, and immediate relegation out of the football league. However if they are found innocent then they have grounds to sue all media outlets and majority of premier league clubs (managers and players) who have complained about them publicly for defamation and finally the premier league for their part which could destroy football.
Man city are a team even with a hypothetical 30 point deduction and still qualify for the champions league, getting 90+ points in a season is doable for them ,lets hope if they found guilty they will be relegated it is the only real sanction will have any kind of meaning.
Man City are the biggest draw for the Premier League now. The Premier League is the product and City, from a business sense, are its biggest USP. So, much as I would love to see them stripped of their titles and relegated, nothing will happen.
At the end of the day, the verdict really doesn't change that much. The legal system is there to provide a punishment or not, it is not there to decide true guilt or innocence. Just because you had a good lawyer, or were good at covering your tracks, or lack of evidence and get let off for murder or robbery or whatever, doesn't mean you are not still a murderer, thief etc. It just means the legal system failed, which is a common occurrence in this day and age. If City get a guilty verdict in a court of law, it will confirm what everyone already knew, if they get a not guilty verdict then it won't change what everyone already knew either.
I agree with all of what you have said but the flaw in all of that is that if City get a not guilty verdict none of the moral hand wringing or snide comments will make any difference whatsoever. All this "heritage" "Spirit of the game stuff" is from a bygone era. All football is now is big business and when did any big business ever give a toss about about how their rivals felt about them? Asterisks may be of some comfort to fans when it come to online bragging rights but that's about as far as it goes. Football as an actual sport was dead and buried long before any of the City stuff this is merely the point where people can't kid themselves that it exists anymore.
@@edmoss7952 yes I agree with that actually, it’s sad if they get away with it in the eyes of the law because people will still claim the “innocent until proven guilty”. I think I’m just sick of it all and lost interest as a whole so at the point I couldn’t care less, we know the truth, as does every City fan. It doesn’t give the respective club or their players their moment back in trophies they should have won. But most of all, people and sporting fans more so, have an extremely short memory and even if given guilty verdict, will all be forgotten in a few months and nothing much will change.
This is a ridiculous effort... for decades Man.Utd were the favoured team in the league, now they are in the doldrums... but they only have themselves to blame.
The part of this that annoys me is we've just had Mike Ashley prostitute our club doing the OPPOSITE of this (Sports Direct on everything for practically nothing) for 14 years and it wasn't an issue. So when it's actively HARMING a club it's fine, but when it benefits a club it becomes a problem? What about the protection of clubs? So again, it just protects whoever is at the top right now.
Mike Ashley owns sports direct and he never paid a penny to Newcastle, absolutely nobody complained then. Goldbridge was begging qatar to buy man utd, if they had he wouldn't be saying this. Hypocrites everywhere

They would come straight up with parachute money
Completely wipe out an entire club and it’s history because of what 1 owner has decided to do? Yeah sound mate
Being relegated to the championship would do nothing, league 2 should be the minimum if they get found guilty

Actually, some of the biggest stars could try to move on, not only to play in the bigger leagues but also to try to clear their names. it might be two years before they're a top four club again. One for getting back to the prem and one where they'll finish 8th.
Amazing how you can’t in effect sponsor yourself, but Chelsea were allowed to sell a hotel to themselves!
Chelsea are the biggest cheaters of the lot and it will all come back to bite them eventually.
Just jealous your owners aren’t as smart as ours
You can sponsor yourself (or more technically speaking, sponsor your team with a separate entity you own) it just has to be for the fair market value. See City & Etihad.
Same goes for the Chelsea hotel sale story. The sale has been confirmed to have occurred at the fair market value.

It's only right, if the case is proven. City paid out for staff, including players. Paid their wages through dubious means. They also appear to have been deliberately obtuse and prevaricated in their assistance with the FA. Now that they're selling their high value players, they now appear to be within the FFP rules.

@@Leenufc1993 Cheating?
The best thing I've read regarding this case is the fact that just because the Premier League may kick City out, it doesn't mean that the EPL have to accept them, they are a separate entity. City could be kicked out of all competitions, as much as I think this should happen to the cheating scum I highly doubt anything as severe will be given to them.
The idea of buying your way around the rules is very common in the region where City's owners are from and I am absolutely dreading the thought that they will be able to do it with this.
I’m a Newcastle fan and I don’t think we should just be able to throw whatever money we like in with dodgy sponsorships, but I also don’t think it’s fair that we have all this potential investment and instead we’re having to sell young players to stay above the FFP line.
My compromise would be that the spending cap is fixed for everyone and it’s based off the average turnover of the highest turnover club in the league over the past 3 years. That way everyone has the same spending potential if they can get the investment in.
That way would make the premier league team hard to compete in europe. And the quality of the league itself will go down due to lack of quality players.
Remember that wages also count as "spending"..
What I have an issue with is how can you judge fair market value! You would expect that Newcastle could command a higher value in Saudi due to there owners therefore there being more interest in that country. Just like spurs might get more from a Korean business than say Man U cause of son but then most other countries Man U would command a higher fee.m than spurs.
@@alone2break ??? no this would make the quality higher since everyone has the potential of the highest cap in the league
@@progress2success402yes but at least it won’t be ridiculous. I imagine it is quite loose. So Newcastle could probably get a sponsorship as high as any club in the prem. I think anyone with common sense would realise that is probably too high given other clubs have a greater global appeal, but at least it is bounded in that way. Rather than just taking £1bn from a Saudi company pumping money in under the state’s orders
Yeah the problem with that though, is the whole point of FFP was to stop billionaires pumping money into a business that doesn't actually generate that level of revenue. Now, we all know that it hasn't worked like that. Your model however, would allow the likes of say Southampton being bought out, pumped up with owners money to the level of Man City and then what? What happens when the magic billionaire stops funding them?
If City get punished, then the spirit of the beautiful game will win.
No the bigger branded clubs will win.
we will finally have a new premier league champion
Exactly
Spurs will win a trophy though.
Wrong. Football wins
Nothing will happen as so many people are involved the people prosecuting would be arresting themselves. They'll get a slap on the wrist and it'll be swept under the rug.
Is there a fair market price for ticket prices?
Each club is allowed to charge whatever ticket price it want, why should there be fair market valuation for sponsorship?
There are some rules regarding ticket prices (like away tickets capped at £30), but in general supply and demand that deals with that. With sponsorship, the sponsoring company is basically saying "We believe that our revenue will go up by at least this much by being associated with them" Fair market value is basically just ensuring these valuations are reasonable.
@manudude02 That's why the FFP rules on sponsorship doesnt make sense. Because a club can sell a ticket for $80m, as long as someone is willing to pay, it's fair.
Okay.. the same club gets a sponsorship for $80m, because it's call "sponsorship" it must go through fair market valuation. Does this make any sense? Believe me, soon clubs will be selling sponsorship through ticket sales and we will be back to zero.
Not even a City fan, and I understand the charges and controversies. But you can't deny that the players have been exceptional. They're human beings, not machines, and regardless of the money involved they have still performed top class stuff
Yes,but no one can compete with their buying power
@@terencecroy16 What have madrid done in the spanish league for the last decade or more? Pretty much owned by the FA
They wouldn't have some of these players, and probably would have had Pep as manager, if they'd played by the rules that every other club has had to abide by.
@@creepingbrain Fully understand, but are the players to blame? They still played and won trophies. Chelsea + UTD have also spent a crazy amount, and yeah, don't even need to speak about where UTD are. Chelsea might be doing better now, but the 8 year contracts are another way of avoiding FFP. That will come back on them when they want to sell players lol.
115 have been expectional BUT they would never have this team, these players if they would play fair with money. how when the state bought them they suddenly started to sell fan products double more than the next one? they dont even sell their stadium full. im not from england but i have never seen a single fan on streets wearing 115 shirt. its guaranteed sportswashing ,question is can they prove it. ps. how they have biggest reveneau in premier league, they have been great yes, but they are still small club, like said they cant even fill theior stadium full.

If found guilty, I honestly don't think the Premier League will relegate them. For me, the best case scenario if they can't be relegated is acknowledgement that any year they were found to have cheated, strip all titles, accomplishments, etc... And for the next 3 years, they CAN NOT win the Title or qualify or compete in any domestic or European cups, regardless of their points. So they can stay up (again, don't think they will be thrown out) but you can't compete for any titles.
TOON Fan. I do think we need a better structure of FFP in place allowing clubs with owners who have the money to invest. You could say that other clubs that are in billions of dept need to face some kind of punishment instead of just looking the other way and in some cases being helped by the PL. any clubs spring to mind. If anything needs looking at it’s those clubs that need to be looked at as well. But I’m sure that will never happen. It’s safer to keep people away from the table instead of asking those who are sat at the table be to leave.

If found guilty, ownership and management should be punished first. The coach, his assistants, the players, and the fans had nothing to do with those decisions.
The coach didn't know what was going on ? sure.
I do feel sorry for the fans, at least the lifelong ones, but some of the charges do involve financial transactions with the staff and players.
FFP is designed to keep the top clubs as the top clubs. It isn't fit for purpose. We have clubs with no debt not able to spend, but clubs with hundreds of millions of debt able to.
Ah the typical city excuse😂
It's there to protect clubs from going out of business because of financial doping.
No they protect Man City, which is not a big club. Without the oil money having come in before the FFP rules, that club would be in League One. Newcastle is way bigger but can't spend like City
so clubs owned by oil COUNTRIES should be able to spend whatever they want .... great comp that would be

FFP isn't about keeping the league competitive. It's to prevent clubs going bankrupt after being saddled with huge debts.
thats what it was originally instated for, but the landscape of the PL and its ownership has drastically changed, with almost most owners in the league being a multi billionaire, if not, at least close to a billionaire. I think that reason is kind of redundant nowadays.

and wtf did you learn from this video? did man city get relegated? where tf does clownbridge gets his Information from? where are his sources.
City, if found guilty of all charges, should be given a rolling point deduction meaning the points wont wipe off at the end of the season, transfer embargo for 10 years, and immediate relegation out of the football league. However if they are found innocent then they have grounds to sue all media outlets and majority of premier league clubs (managers and players) who have complained about them publicly for defamation and finally the premier league for their part which could destroy football.
Man city are a team even with a hypothetical 30 point deduction and still qualify for the champions league, getting 90+ points in a season is doable for them ,lets hope if they found guilty they will be relegated it is the only real sanction will have any kind of meaning.

At the end of the day, the verdict really doesn't change that much. The legal system is there to provide a punishment or not, it is not there to decide true guilt or innocence. Just because you had a good lawyer, or were good at covering your tracks, or lack of evidence and get let off for murder or robbery or whatever, doesn't mean you are not still a murderer, thief etc. It just means the legal system failed, which is a common occurrence in this day and age. If City get a guilty verdict in a court of law, it will confirm what everyone already knew, if they get a not guilty verdict then it won't change what everyone already knew either.
I agree with all of what you have said but the flaw in all of that is that if City get a not guilty verdict none of the moral hand wringing or snide comments will make any difference whatsoever. All this "heritage" "Spirit of the game stuff" is from a bygone era. All football is now is big business and when did any big business ever give a toss about about how their rivals felt about them? Asterisks may be of some comfort to fans when it come to online bragging rights but that's about as far as it goes. Football as an actual sport was dead and buried long before any of the City stuff this is merely the point where people can't kid themselves that it exists anymore.
@@edmoss7952 yes I agree with that actually, it’s sad if they get away with it in the eyes of the law because people will still claim the “innocent until proven guilty”. I think I’m just sick of it all and lost interest as a whole so at the point I couldn’t care less, we know the truth, as does every City fan. It doesn’t give the respective club or their players their moment back in trophies they should have won. But most of all, people and sporting fans more so, have an extremely short memory and even if given guilty verdict, will all be forgotten in a few months and nothing much will change.
This is a ridiculous effort... for decades Man.Utd were the favoured team in the league, now they are in the doldrums... but they only have themselves to blame.
