PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[Prestwich_Blue]

I wouldn't lose any sleep over it, we kid ourselves that the world unites around Ukraine, it doesn't. There are pro Ukraine countries and pro Russian countries, but most people live in countries that maintain a quiet indifference and the UAE is one of them, as far as they're concerned they don't have a dog in the race.

This is going nowhere.

Even if there's any truth in this, there's also the possibility that we know all about it but don't have an issue with it as we're getting information about any movement of assets. It's a well-trodden path in government/intelligence circles.

“For the avoidance of doubt, we make no allegations as to any particular conduct of Sheikh Mansour."

So what are they skriking about then?!

A friend who I sent the link to, just said have we got a big game this weekend then.

I agree, besides I've never got my head around the legality of seizing these assets, this country is not at war with Russia, it all seems a bit dubious to me, but I lose no sleep over robber barons being fleeced.

As you say diplomacy is not all carrot and stick, keeping our counsel and a discreet eye on the bigger picture is often the better play.

I know his name. It's Mikhail Delaneschenko.

I thought it might Javier Tebas but I’ll bow to your superior knowledge:)

I thought Burnley have Yank owners?

Burnley do but I was thinking of their 1987 season and Brighton at withdrawn etc. Just badly expressed

 

[halfcenturyup]

So we arent state owned now?

Regardless, thats really not good if any truth to it

FFS. I hate it when Blues, of all people, say "it's not good if that is true". The first 10 pages of this thread is full of it, some from people who should know better.

A "Ukrainian" "activist" who wants to remain "anonymous" and a government who clearly are moving slowly even considering it. I am guessing it's the same nothing-burger it was 6 months ago before the government did nothing.

Yes it’s at the EMIRATES!

Shows how irrelevant the rags have become, it always used to be in the lead-up to derbies.

 

[remember arthur mann]

I'm sure we could drag up loads of shit on the Yankee owners.

 

[Prophet of Doom]

Why does anybody give this kind of tripe the time of day.

Some anonymous individual sent a letter a year ago and didn’t get a response so does it all again.

Has no issue with any of the huge an amount of assets the UAE own in the UK except for a football club.

Attention seeking nonsense.

 

[Norman kneejerk]

What a shock that our "friends" the MuEN have weighed in, no qualifying comment provided as they might for other teams.

 

[Kinkys Left Foot]

Ahhh an "anonymous Ukrainian activist" you say, with absolutely no evidence to support such a course of action (sound familiar) or substantiate such allegations.
How about fuck off you media shit stirring cunts as an answer and tell your client when he does that to fuck off again.

I tend to agree. In addition, however much we desperately want Ukraine to defeat the Ruskies, there is plenty of corruption in most Countries. It wouldn’t surprise me if somebody’s paid this activist to create some mischief.

Tried to put a video of the laughing clown in Blackpool, but couldn't do it . So just use your imagination.

Government asked to investigate Man City owner over Russia claims

Lawyers are asking the Government to investigate whether Sheikh Mansour assisted wealthy Russians it has sanctioned in moving their assets to the United Arab Emirates

'Activist' who wishes to be nameless. Something fishy

Written by Jamie Gardner, any relation to Peter !

 

[bluetonium]

A lot of bluster and not an ounce of evidence. The key would be whether the UK has grounds to believe HRH has aided russian officials who may be subject to restrictions. Again, there is no reason to believe that.

Pretty shocking to be honest, is that the UK media and this journalist in particular are using a situation of ongoing war and pain, to basically ask the question of whether our owner can be banned. Hardly important in the big scheme, unless you're looking for clicks from meatheads.

Yet again no evidence. However, there is plenty of evidence to show how HRH has supported the UK financially and structurally with shrewd investment and partnerships. Or is that politics washing, too?

ah!...you mean Javier Javieronovich Tebaski
