Be honest, is this affecting our ability to sign players we want ? I know it’s early but I’m wondering if our top targets are shying away in the prospect of not only a CL ban but a transfer ban ?Some journos are wanting to smell blood in the water and are simply chumming it to keep the narrative going when nothing is happening during the summer football months.
It had already been established this was more a marker by City, rather than a fillabuster.
As for Lipton, he wrote two months ago a back page lead entitled 'Ban City', which resulted in the club getting angry and essentially writing the Sun's inside spread follow-up the very next day.
Lipton insisted we would be banned by FIFA within 12 days for the illegal signing of underage players.
Whilst I expect that to happen (probably for Jan and next summer windows), it is clear his timelines are bollocks.
There is no illusion from City, this is a three-pronged attack to damage us both reputationally, and to hamstring us for a year or so for others to catch-up.
I find it very interesting Bayern have been keeping their powder dry in making an official bid for Sane.
They are being briefed by their pals at Uefa at what might be coming down the pipe while Leroy is on holiday and think they can kick us in the bollocks with a low ball offer.
Fucking Sane's family are in on it.
The main reason usa dont want huewei equipment is that it does not have trapdoors unlike the american stuff that lets usa spy as much as they want.That’s actually a very good call with the Chinese stake in the club. No doubt the Etihad campus will become the Huewei Security HQ - for a gigantic international phone tapping operation... a direct threat to national security!
The British spymasters say the only thing wrong with Huawei's equipment is the archaic architecture of it, which needs to be updated to modern standards.The main reason usa dont want huewei equipment is that it does not have trapdoors unlike the american stuff that lets usa spy as much as they want.

By 'turn of the last century,' do you mean 1900 or 2000. I'd be interested to know how much Stanley Matthews got from promoting Craven A cigarettes.Not always the case. Good agents never try to force things onto their client. They are the agents that tend to thrive and prosper. Certainly not an expert, because I’ve got no meaningful experience of late, but became mates with a couple of pretty big agents round the turn of the last century. This principle cannot have changed, however: the ones who kept their clients with ease were the ones who never tried to twist their arm. They respected what their relationship with their client gave them, in terms of money and status.
Went to one of those agents’ weddings and it must have had twenty of his players there, but not all of them - tellingly. Some of his well-known players weren’t invited. Fair play for that. Was sat on the same table as three huge Premier League stars and their wives, one of whom was famous in her own right. That was just our table. Couple of footballing global superstars sat adjacent to the top table.
My then girlfriend, who subsequently became my wife, didn’t know who any of them were; except the foregoing famous wife. I found that hilarious. She never really understood or got football. No wonder our marriage floundered!
That weekend is definitely going in my memoirs!
Even their mobiles are not allowed in usa yet they still threaten Apples worldwide dominance.The British spymasters say the only thing wrong with Huawei's equipment is the archaic architecture of it, which needs to be updated to modern standards.
Huawei have taken this on board & are making those changes, which is why the UK is caught between commissioning the best 5G system out there, or obeying our global boss, big ole Uncle Sam, so we sustain our 'special relationship' (which always seems very one sided to me).
Yes, very hypothetical.I'm sure these quotes were as a direct result of careful closed answer questioning from the MSM - hard to answer the questions of "are you investigating MCFC" and "will they be punished if found guilty" in any other way....

Currently there is chaos with many exporting companies in usa in the name of preventing terrorism.Bit like the relationship a pig has with a butcher. For my money the US is run by and for the corporations that own the government by "donation". Protecting a cartel by any means (literally ANY) is second nature. The CIA used technology honed during the Cold war to spy on European firms. Intellectual capital as it became known as, found it's way into US corporations, before the extent of "interception" was too blatant to ignore.
The "special relationship" is a slogan, not an entity, used by politicians when it suits, nothing more. The very notion that we become reliant on it is too hideous to imagine...
If we were sponsored by Rampant Rabbit, there would be a real buzz in the stadium.We should get a Northern sponsor like Hovis or Uncle Joe's Mint Balls ....
Daily Fail.
Some figures could be bollocks.
But Real Madrid are throwing money around again
Obviously Tebas won't comment on Real's transfer spending.
Real Madrid announce £49m signing of Lyon left-back Ferland Mendy on six-year deal as they complete FIFTH signing of window and take summer spending up to £344m
I recently watched the film about Edward Snowden, & the extent to IS go to to spy on us all is staggering. ALL technology firms selling devices in the US are apparently duty bound to leave a back door for their Security Services.Bit like the relationship a pig has with a butcher.

The methods they're prepared to go to, to crush emerging economies is just staggering.Currently there is chaos with many exporting companies in usa in the name of preventing terrorism.
Anything that could potentially be exported is subject to full traceability with a massive list of individual companies, agents and countries barred from receiving exports.
Personal fines of 250k dollars for any lack of performing full paperwork checks is making some exports simply not worth it so expect backlash from usa based companies.
It's going to be a long summer isn't it?
The press are giving the whole club, the fans, the owner, the full Sterling treatment and the cartel are loving it.
But would as many supporters come ?If we were sponsored by Rampant Rabbit, there would be a real buzz in the stadium.
Not her, although probably about that level of fame (ie domesticity ok, but no international presence). Saw her on the One Show a while back, and she was looking very well. She’d aged very well indeed in over a decade. She was very nice as it happens. They both were. Both really good company. A nice couple. No longer together, sadly.Did the famous wife have a mishap with lip injections or was that before then?

No more clues!

I’m not trying to be dramatic but I can’t help but wonder
What, MEN got it wrong? Nah!Not that I can garner. We have deals all lined up and agreed in principle with the players and their reps. Some are on the proviso of others moving on, so that will bog some of them down, naturally.
I also expect at least three incomings, so a little contradictory to what the MEN have reported this week.
