PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[Gingers Dad]

I work in Trafford Park about 10 minutes walk from The Swamp and between the stadium and where I am there is - somewhat worryingly - a fair bit of unused land. There's also a huge chunk of land owned by them right opposite our works that is currently used for match-day parking. I think they could conceivably slap a new stadium on there and while that's being built they could keep playing at The Swamp. I suppose it all depends on how much they're prepared to spend but that would seem to be the most realistic and least disruptive option.

They're not building anything. Jim is just courting the publicity he desired when he bought into the club. A minority share holder doesn't make massive infrastructure decisions costing £100's of millions. He'll be on Checkatrade on Monday to find a roofer. Probably ask the roofing guy if he builds stadiums while he's there.

Easy, Season Tickets to locals only.

If they did that, they'd all easily fit in the Minihad/Joie Stadium

And pay the roofer in brown paper bags.

He would have to get permission of the glazers to build a new stadium because they'll have to take out a 2 billion loan to pay for it.

That ain't happening so it be a fresh spray of paint and filling all those gaps with some plaster! Oh and a plastic sheet for the roof..

Blatter and his cronies were eventually exposed, if as the YouTube video suggests "Footballs biggest scandal " then it should be worthy of a genuine documentary. The truth usually comes out,would love to them smug twats Gill and Parry out.

Absolutely they did..behind the scenes, major news corporations are already under investigation for their labour contracts.
There are likely ongoing discussions within that investigation regarding their impartiality.
Let’s say.. pundit X is on a freelance contract for corporation Y and supports, for example, united, they would need to maintain an even more impartial view. The question then is: Have we, not just as City fans but football fans across the country watched and listened to such impartiality?

It’s fucking hilarious that people think Jim is investing billions into a club that he doesn’t actually own. He builds them a new stadium then it’s the Glazers that profit as they own 75% of the club. Jim is a businessman and as much spin as he and the media are putting out there, he isn’t giving his money away.

Yep glazers get 900m and the 300m is supposed to be for a new training ground and refurb the dump

It only makes sence if Ratcliffe owns the new swamp stadium and than leases back to rags.

Ps I thought I was in the rag thread ;)

Scruffy Jim has a plan b if the government don’t bail him out. He’ll get a work party from Strangeways…..

At least they'd have roofing experience.
