Premier League still investigating Man City for breach of FFP.

[Offsideagain]

As recently as last month, the media were reporting that the PL were still investigating City for alleged breaches of FFP. Anyone on here believe that the PL will do anything about the clear breaches as pointed out by the court of arbitration for sport or are the PL waiting until it too late to charge them as UEFA managed to do? City will get away with it again and will continue to do so as all the organisations are shit scared of legal action and City know this. More tainted trophies will follow.

CAS will sort it out for City.

New detailed allegation from the Mail

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/s...-City-did-cheat-Premier-League-FFP-rules.html

The Etihad exec began their email: 'Dear [XXX] … there seems to be some confusion about an outstanding balance of the sponsorship fee for the 2010/11 season.'

The Mail on Sunday knows the identities of both the sender and the principal recipient of the email but neither works for the same company any more and both moved to different spheres of business.

'As you are aware,' the writer continued, 'Etihad's commitment is for £4million and the remaining balance (£8m) is handled separately by the [UAE] Executive Affairs Authority. Please can you clarify this to your accounts department and pick it up direct with the EAA in due course. Kind regards.'

To put this into context, The Mail on Sunday has been told — and has seen corroborative paperwork — that Manchester City invoiced Etihad for £12m for the 2010-11 shirt sponsorship deal, but the invoice had a hand-written annotation that Etihad themselves were only due to pay £4m that year.

And plenty more besides, including copy of an email from Simon Pearce which apparently calls into question some of what he said to the CAS in the UEFA case.
