PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[blueyorkie]

Nobody really buys papers anymore.

Their online version isn’t much better because of the ads that you mention.

Now they’re limiting people to reading about 20 articles a month on their app, so that’ll die quite quickly too.

It’s mostly clickbait now anyway. If you want news about what Gemma Atkinson, Helen Flanagan et al have had for lunch, then it’s the right paper for you.

Who are they?

Again why did it take 4 years?

I would suggest the evidence against us is minimal to zero, and our "irrefutable evidence" would destroy instantly.

Why did both sides spend hours in the courts trying to make this a private matter>?

A strange tactic from both sides IF there is nothing to hide.

Why the investigation took as long as it did you would have to ask the PL. The charge against the club is that for 10 years our accounts have been dodgy. That leaves us trying to prove a negative, namely that the accounts are legit. Which involves wading through the source material - the contracts, the invoices, the email trail.

Given the material that the club is compelled to provide I’m not surprised they wanted it heard in private. (A) all such proceedings are conducted in private, and (B) the nature of the material we will be relying on is completely confidential.

Having done nothing wrong and still wanting private information to stay private are completely consistent with each other. I’m sure you’ve done nothing wrong but if someone asked you how much tax you paid last year you’d tell them to mind their own business.

Practises.

You’re the expert!

You’re the expert!

In UK English, “practice” (with a “c”) is the noun and “practise” (with an “s”) is the verb. In US English, “practice” (with a “c”) is used as both noun and verb. “Practise” (with an “s”) is never used.

Yeah, thanks for that…

A pair of academics from Sheffield Uni wrote a detailed article about the charges. Despite some excitement it didn’t really add anything new to the discussion. But we managed to discuss it anyway.

There was some paper released by some university academic (who seem to have an agenda) that shows City are damned if guilty and damned if innocent.

That was a few days ago, since then people have just been milling around in here.

100% agree why we would want to keep private but the PL?

That's why this investigation stinks of nothing more than a smear campaign.

The sooner that pathetic shitstain of an excuse for a local Rag (every pun intended) goes under, the better.
MUEN, written for Rags by Rags.

Is it also owned by the liverpool echo?

Certainly bad enough to be .

I've been looking for the door.

Yes, part of Reach group.
MUEN and Victimpool Echo obsessed with negativity towards MCFC.

And not just on matters of law. Some pretty stupid mistakes on background too.

I don't know what it is with Sheffield University. They seem to spend a lot of time looking at Manchester these days. Trying to develop a reputation by pandering to the masses maybe? The doctoral equivalent of click-baiting. If they are, they shouldn't be making so many bloody mistakes.

It's Sheffield Hallam University, not Sheffield University. So the ex-Poly, and it shows.

Yeah I get that.
The younger generation over here don’t give a flying fnck about the politics.
I’ve seen plenty of City t-shirts this summer.
