It's what I call an emotional hedge. The only one I have done in serious size was to bet on QPR drawing or beating us. The odds were so good that either outcome would provide a significant profit. Of course, I was distraught with 5 minutes to go because that was not the outcome I would have...
I am taking into account what you have been saying.
e.g. "Sorry, what is being suggested by the PL is EXACTLY that our accounts are fraudulent, and that our auditors have failed to spot that.
The charges appear to involve allegations of conduct that if proved would amount to criminal conduct...
So you think a civil case decided on evidence not admitted in a criminal court and perhaps decided on the balance of probabilities would lead to a criminal case. I think not. As I said earlier on, how on earth anyone could establish the original source of funds going into City from companies...
Where does it say that? I doubt that the PL has said any such thing. They would be more circumspect. You are extrapolating what is happening to something some journalists/commentators would like to happen. Anyway, there is little I can add to my original comment, so you will just have to...
I think I was simply making the point that this was a civil case that required far less proof than a criminal case, so from that point of view I am less relaxed. Maybe it could be said that the question as far as the PL Club are concerned is not whether we have done something for which we are...
They are saying that we have not complied with the rules of the their club (The Premier League Club). The audited accounts will be subject to much adjustment before we give figures to the PL. Expenses are added or deducted to comply with their rules. We have already been penalised years ago...
No one is suggesting that our accounts are fraudulent or our auditors have done anything wrong. Audits are not there to prevent fraud. Our auditors are not expected to go to the Middle East to try the impossible task of verifying the original source of funds coming into the club. In fact, if...
Can't be bothered what your problem is regarding Robbie Savage. Doing a great job at Macclesfield. Speaks to the fans online all the time, unlike anyone else I have come across.
When we had the case going to court following the PL's attempt to appoint arbitrators that City thought would be biased against them followed subsequently by an appeal, the two cases lasted around two years and both City and the PL wanted to keep everything secret. It came out because the judge...
You must meet up with the wrong people. Everyone I meet always talks about our fantastic football. Even United fans. Mind you, I have always tried to be complimentary about other clubs without trying to start an argument. It only seems to be Liverpool who are not wanted to win anything!
Waiting for City to end their legal challenges to the proposed arbitrators and then going to appeal which took at least two years during which we surely provided no further information. Also in the Covid period as someone pointed out.
