What Premier League financial rules is Manchester City accused of breaking?
Welcome to the Good, the Bad and the Football, sponsored by Midnight. The betting app that's built different, folks. We are getting straight into it today. You may or may not have seen the news about Manchester City and a hundred and fifteen charges, well a hundred and fourteen charges now. And we're joined by ESPN's senior writer, Mark Ogden, to to delve into the nitty-gritty of everything what's going on. How are you, Mark? Hi, Paddy. All right. Welcome to the pod, mate. Cheers, pal. Firstly, just just as a a fan of the game. Of the hundred and fourteen charges. Which are the more serious?
Well the most serious are the ones that are inflated sponsorship revenue, which basically says they've earned more than they really have. So if if you're saying your sponsorship of the stadium's worth ten million pound and city maybe claiming forty million pounds, it's well, you know, that's the issue that they're inflating their allegedly inflating their revenue beyond what it really is. And that enables them to Pay players' wages, pay managers' wages, sign players. So it gives them an unfair advantage or it would give them an unfair advantage in the transfer market and just signing players, bringing money in. The allegation is that the money is actually coming from outside the club, i.e. the Abu Dhabi ownership to, you know, inflate their earnings.
Where they talk about all these you know when they say about oh taking trophies off 'em and what would have happened this season, who went down, who stayed up, all these there's so many different connotations. There's an argument as well as players, you might have been on a a bonus at a club if you'd have won the league or you might have been on summer and you've been denied that as well. So where does it stop?
Yeah, mi my appeal's going in. Is it c I'm suing 'em we missed out on a league bonus. You get over the glazes. I don't think any real proper Man United fan would say we want them trophies or Arsenal or Liverpool or if it might be who's second. But there's got to be a massive big question mark about them keeping their titles because if you look at any other sport in the world Ben Johnson in the Olympics, Lance Armstrong in all of the the cycling events he was in. If you get found cheating, whether it's cooking books, drugs or whatever it is, and going the other side of the the law or bending the rules to help you get uh unfair advantage, then there has to be an argument and a massive argument of saying they should be taken off them now.
If people want to come on to the podcast or come on to wherever and slack us off for saying that, they shouldn't have any uh agreements against those. That's just the rules. It's in black and white. The rules in i in and you will people will try and manipulate the rules a little bit to get that little bit of a percentage of a margin basis on a on a on a performance on a pitch. However, you get caught you gotta you you gotta take your punishment. And I think that's the big question now is well how long will that take? What is it gonna look like and how it will affect that club in the bigger picture? Because I personally don't want to see a city going under. I don't. I'm a I'm a Manchester boy. I I'm a massive Man United fan, but they're what they've done over the last few te decade, ten years have been nothing short of amazing.
But this is a massive, massive, massive Big X against their name now. So how it's gonna come about what's gonna happen when you talk about all of the permutations of other clubs, it's just mind blowing. I can't even get my head round it. It affects so much stuff, doesn't it? I s I suppose. It's it's it it's where do you stop stop with it? And look, and before these charges came out, I think even as United players, United fans I really admired what City were doing in a way because look what they did on the football pitch was brilliant. We know now that it it was probably wrong and they was doing it not in their means. But also the development of the club. You looked at the club and think, that's a really well run club.
