The anonymous gentleman won't have to sully himself with Trivial things like brown envelopes, or indeed do any form of violence to them, his job will be to explain what life will be like for them if his requests are not carried out forthwith.
Add to City’s confident statement, I think there could be some truth behind this.And the fact that they landed the charges with all the precision of a blind knife thrower… the fact they got some of the charges confused tells name this was heart hearted, rushed, incompetent or a combination of the three.
If John the murderer says “I think I should deal with my own sentencing at home, my mate Jim can decide the verdict”, do we spare him the process of a trial and conviction and let Jim proclaim John’s innocence?Ex-City financial advisor Stefan Borson, C.E.O for Watchstone Group, said it could take a “long time” before the process is completed.
“I think it is unlikely that the club will be able to appeal to the English courts due to the Premier League’s rules requiring its disputes to be dealt with by Commission and arbitration,”
“The seriousness of these allegations is likely to mean it will be a long time before the disciplinary process can be completed -- I would not be at all surprised if it took in excess of two years.
“Ultimately, I believe it will be very difficult for the Premier League to prove this scale of wrongdoing..."

Absolutely right. In olden times they used to show the prisoner the instruments of torture long before they put them to use - and often that was enough.The anonymous gentleman won't have to sully himself with Trivial things like brown envelopes, or indeed do any form of violence to them, his job will be to explain what life will be like for them if his requests are not carried out forthwith.
I fucking hope not. Without the apostrophe before ‘cause then it’s a fucking embarrassment.
Didn't Amanda Staveley work as an advisor when Sheik Mansour/Adug bought City? Or she helped to broker the deal and was paid rather handsomely for her work. I remember something along those lines in the press at the time.Here we go.
They’re all meeting.
Even the fu*king Saudis and Newcastle are apparently in on it.
As for Boehly, having just spent hundreds of millions on players and getting around FFP by giving all the new players long contracts.
Cunts, the lot of them!

How though? Is it realistic to expect 115 charges to just be dropped one day?
The Premier League cant act outside the laws of the land surely…??It's not like a private members club though is it. It's a business worth hundreds of million of pounds, with hundreds of employees. We don't go to the pl private members club for a drink and a bite to eat, then get a lifetime ban for calling the landlords mrs a slag. It's our whole business. I believe we will win, maybe a fine for non cooperation same as CAS, but any draconian punishment that doesn't fit the crime will surely have a route to legal redress.
But we’ve got probably the most incompetent government in history so we could end up in a far bigger mess if they get involved ;-)I’d be very surprised if there wasn’t some diplomatic pressure being applied from the UAE, tbh. This has gone a bit beyond just City now, with the likes of Khaldoon and Mansour himself, having their integrity so publicly questioned. It seems unthinkable that the recent investment plans won’t be used as leverage imo.
Think it’s already been mentioned but this was a scheduled meeting and nowt to do with all the bollocks that’s come our way this week.Didn't Amanda Staveley work as an advisor when Sheik Mansour/Adug bought City? Or she helped to broker the deal and was paid rather handsomely for her work. I remember something along those lines in the press at the time.
Ha, yeah, either that or just go for cos ;-)I fucking hope not. Without the apostrophe before ‘cause then it’s a fucking embarrassment.
Just thought of it:)Lol, now why couldn’t you have posted that 1011 pages ago & saved us all this mither? ;-)
They're right shit stirring bastards aren't they?Here we go.

I think that's significantly more likely. Having announced that it will go to an independent panel, the idea it doesn't make it that far seems remote. As has already been stated, if we were going to use diplomatic pressure then wouldn't it have been used long before now?Unlikely to be dropped one day but a hearing hurried up and no case to answer. Though a fine for non-coperation.
It does, absolutely. Al Jazira is a personal holding for Mansour, it was never integrated into the CFG nor even with ADUG, once they shine their torches on both clubs at once, it becomes a personal attack on HRH.I’d be very surprised if there wasn’t some diplomatic pressure being applied from the UAE, tbh.
