You are the one that’s having comprehension issue.

I asked you a simple question that you are yet to find an answer too. Who should have being the Judge in this case?

No need for megedege. Answer the question.

Leyqute:


Did you understand my post?

Eruditor:


An independent and impartial body.

Ibime:


You can argue till you are blue in the face. Anyone who knows accounts will know they would fall foul if forced to restate accounts. They are barely compliant now so any reduction in revenue (just for current accounting period only) will take them below FFP threshold.

And if you want to get technical, if they were found to overstate revenue in the past, IAS8 rules would require them to correct prior period misstatements in 2020 to cover incorrect revenue recognition from 2012 to 2019 which would hit their Other Comprehensive Income line in their P&L for hundreds of millions of pounds and knock them out of FFP compliance once and for all.



On another point, City are in a serious bind. It is in their interest to accept EPL points deduction this year since they cannot win the league and may be banned from UCL next year. However that will constitute admission of guilt in the eyes of CAS and hamper their case there.

On the other hand, they could challenge Premier League sanction this year and risk taking the hit next year which will knock them out of league contention for 20/21 season while also getting hammered by UEFA.


ELruditor, would you advise that they take their L this year or next?

Ibime:


The body who sets the rules is the one who adjudicates on it. Who do you expect to investigate and apply UEFA rules if not UEFA?

If you are unsatisfied with their verdict, you can take it to arbitration.

If you break Chevron HR rules as an employee, would you expect Total or Shell to be the ones to come and do your disciplinary? If you have a problem with Chevron's decision, you take your appeal to the courts, simple.

Eruditor:


When Chevron fires their staff for joining unions which they forbid. The aggrieved member of staff always go outside of Chevron - the court of arbitration for labour in Nigeria (industrial court). Because they know they will never get a fair hearing with chevron. Many times the industrial court (acts like the supreme court) by overriding any decisions that Chevron may have made. You even see judgements where Chevron is asked to pay said staff huge emoluments to go with a reinstatement to their jobs.

Eruditor:


I did and replied only the aspects that were relevant to the discourse.

Ibime:


That's what CAS is for. However, that does not preclude UEFA from investigating and making judgements on its own rules, which is why I can't understand City statement that UEFA investigated and adjudicated on the matter. That is their right to do so. All City talk and your talk is just rabble rousing.

Eruditor:


You can't win a competition you never participated in.

Eruditor:

I have been telling you that City had been suspected like PSG etc and already settled their issue with UEFA in 2014 by paying a fine then and proving that their books have been good after that. The issue then was that City spent more than they could account for (not that the Sheikh intentionally gave them more money than he was allowed to). When those leaks came out in 2015, it appeared that City may have deceived UEFA in 2014 so they asked City for more information and City did not cooperate. So UEFA set out to teach them a lesson.

I don't know why you keep talking about restating an account. FFP was trying to limit the amount rich owners could invest in their clubs. A rich owner made one of his companies sponsor his team. No fraud. The suspected breach is that he lied about how much his company actually sponsored his team with. He understated it. He did so in that window so he could help his team buy and pay certain players that the team would not have been able to buy and pay with their revenue at the time.

Sheikh did not continue doing so. City had fixed their books since.

Leyqute:


Doesn’t seem like you did.

No 1, the other clubs you accused of the same crime have a bigger brand name than City. Much bigger. So if they can argue that this is netting them enough money to buy players. That’s the point.

They can be guilty as hell though.

Your response was off. You only reiterated what you said earlier: that they’re cooking books, without any evidence I might add.

Secondly , I said if those you mentioned were actually inflating their revenue, they should also get punished. NOT EVERYBODY IS INFLATING FIGURES. Are Wolves doping? Leicester? Dortmund? Atletico Madrid?

If those ones (including City) are allowed to breach the law, like you are championing, there’s no reason for the law to exist, and anybody can do as they wish.

City can then join the AbuDhabi Champions League where they’ll be crowned champions every year.

Do you get my point now?

Greatihex:
who stopped them from winning in the one they participated in?

Eruditor:


The size of the club is irrelevant. If you don't get it, you can join blueangel419.

Nobody is arrogating for City's right to breach any law. But fair play means what is sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander.

Eruditor:


The same thing that prevented every other club from winning the ones City won.

Eruditor:

Sheikh did not continue doing so. City had fixed their books since

Your epistle would've made sense if City were actually competing in Europe with pap fraudiola.

But seeing you're part of the few people who's not horrible in thinking and mentality, can you explain why City are yet to get to the Semis since Pellegrini left?

You barkadots go dey carry misyarn all the time! Anyways you'll learn after ELRUDITOR turns disabled due to being ignorant, arrogant and f00lish.

Don't even know which is worse between you saying City is a big club in UCL or you thinking you've made sense with this post.

Oasis007:


BTW..... Eruditor only agrees to give a Hand, not shedding Blood in the process. Is there any way to make it happen?!

@Afrodoc2

afrodoc2:


Lol that is the Merchant of Venice defence.

Well I think it can be done.

You tourniquet the hand in 2 places then freeze it.

Then you cut the hand off between the 2 tourniquets while frozen.

Finally, you cauterize the stump while it is frozen then suture the cauterized stump.

That might just work but no guarantees.

Oasis007:




Lobatan..... LMAO!

Eruditor ma Nigga...... Have you decided?! Let's help our dear Comrade to make the Decision, Like for Axe, share for Shaw.

airmark:
