PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[Gorbachev]

That's the narrative, but don't see it being Chinese Yuan.

Dollar will be the king for a good time yet and China wouldn't win a war anytime soon.

Interesting to see India have started trading this week using the Rupee as their nominal choice?

I just think the Saudis can always afford to play all sides, everyone needs them and they have the money not to care!

Russian cunts just trying to form alliances because they don't have a pot to piss in.

Do you see a reserve change? Or do you see the dollar just rallying on as usual and for how long?

India is a BRICS economy and in bed with the Russians just as much as China.

China maybe putting out a financial "helping hand" to Russia for their own long term financial gain, knowing it will help them gain that world reserve currency they seem to desire.

Be interesting to see what the next crash does for the United States. With ever increasing debt getting to the point of no control and debt ceilings constantly being raised, banks failing, talk of recessions in the EU and US, the inflation issue, it could get a lot worse in the west in the years to come.

Saudi seem to want to play intermediary between the west and Russia which could end up being a dangerous game played...eventually I just think they will have to pick a side.

To be honest, given the disclosures around Newcastle, I’d say the last thing the PL want is a stonewall case !
I suspect the case is already determined (ie dead) and the priority will be an appropriate exit strategy that satisfies honour on both sides.

1. City are innocent
2. This is a vendetta by the 9 clubs over 15 years
3. Ringleader clubs thrown out of football pyramid
4. 15 year point deductions for supporting clubs

That'd be just about poetic justice

In a civil defamation action the burden of proof lies with those making the allegations so the PL would have to prove their claims are true. That said there is probably something in our contract with the PL that prevents us suing them.

I don't think it's as simple as that, mate. For example. Aaron Banks sued the journalist Carole Cadwalladr for libel and still lost his case despite the court finding that what she had said about him was NOT true. They concluded the threshold for harm (to his reputation) was reached and therefore potentially eligible for significant damages, but he lost because they also concluded there was a public interest defence in her saying what she did. Also that she believed what she had said to be true.

I am not suggesting that's exactly how it would pan out if City sued the PL, but I am simply suggesting that it's not so simple as to say that the PL would have to prove that their evidence was valid. We could quite possibly lose, provided the PL could show that it was reasonable to bring charges based upon the information in their possession, whether true or not.

Anyone who thinks City will go after the PL hasn’t been paying attention for the last 14 years.
When these charges have been dealt with City will just carry on being the best run club in England.

And hopefully build bridges with the PL as our board has done with UEFA

I would love to know how the PL would react to any club breaking FFP limits if it meant bringing Messi to the PL.

We all know that would depend on which team he signed for

Reserve change in our lifetime is extremely unlikely. The global economy revolves too much around dollars and US remains rich in resources as well as having many of the most innovative companies on the planet. Inflation, Recessions and Bank failures have happened in every economic cycle and not really affected the world axis. China cannot come close to being reserve currency with such a high degree of government interference in markets (or threat of) along with a very erratic/parochial judicial system.

That has always been the hope of City, unfortunately the PL has controlling members who do not want this to happen for whatever reason.

Thanks…. I’d just assumed TalkSport or Sky had employed someone called BigGob…. It wouldn’t seem out of place….

I think the Dollar will be king for as long as we haven't been wiped off the face of the map.

Perhaps the only red button one day will be a financial reset one, where all the countries and banks are told to start from zero and that includes us debtors.

Be nice, wouldn't it!!

Just like football, they won’t agree to it being fair & equal.

 

[gordondaviesmoustache]

The way everyone is wanking into a sock tonight about this team, this amazing group of players, makes the notion of the PL doing its best ever team over to be somewhat fanciful.

Bad for the brand…

 

[Bez]

The PL are in effect the stooges of the red history clubs and they have been bullied into this. If you can't beat City on the pitch then send them to a tribunal to try to fuck them up. As Soriano said 'Its bullshit!'

 

[HelloCity]

Guys, am I being stupid here or is anyone else feeling similar?

Was at the game last night and obviously enjoyed it but there was a voice in the back of my mind saying that it’s these potential achievements that they’ll be desperate to dump all over.

That if we were to win the treble, they’ll try to do us over enough so that it has a big black mark next to it.

I guess in feeling like this I’m falling for the trap and I’m sure players like Bellingham would have been fully briefed before making a decision to come here etc.

Stupid is one word for it, I can think of many others if you're looking for help?

Saw a major leak in the AP news today about intelligence agencies saying UAE is openly helping Russia behind the scenes, get around sanctions and attracting Russian money for projects and real estate investments by Russian billionaires..

Leaked US intel: Russia operatives claimed new ties with UAE

A leaked document suggests U.S. spies caught Russian intelligence officers boasting that they had convinced the oil-rich United Arab Emirates “to work together against US and UK intelligence agencies." The purported document was posted online as part of a major U.S. intelligence breach. U.S...

apnews.com

This is obviously not going to go well in the west, and you can be sure there will be a response!

The leaks seem pretty credible and this is quite an interesting read about the leaker as well:

https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/2023/04/12/discord-leaked-documents/

I wonder what the chances of the whole PL charges mess just magically disappearing are if UAE decided to join the UK/ US/ European alliance just like Qatar did.

Also wonder if Sheikh Mansour recently getting a promotion to Vice President of the UAE is related to this matter.. in effect kicking the people responsible for the pro-Russia policy out of office. (So maybe there's already been a response and a recalibration by the UAE!)
