PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules



Apologies for posting something relevant to the thread title, but it seems things may be progressing with regards to the creation of an independent regulator. I can't read the full article as I don't have a sub to the Athletic. Could (probably will) have implications for the ongoing process around City's charges?

I like winding rags up by saying old trafford isn't in manchester.

But according to many source it is. Sadly address validation is part of my job. An easy way to check is by looking on the royal mails postal address file ( https://www.royalmail.com/find-a-postcode ). That has old trafford in manchester. Maybe Old Trafford isn't what i should have checked but it seems sensible.

These things happen all the time. Stockport used to be Cheshire, Croydon used to be Surrey. Although County isn't strictly part of an address so that's a bad example i guess.

Right bored myself to slee

Post Codes were configured by Royal Mail to assist in sorting mail to the correct location and not in relation to administrative borders, city and county. RM based it on their major sorting offices which were often based close to major train stations to suite the mail trains. Every item with an M postcode would be sorted to the M bags and dropped to the Manchester Piccadilly stop, from where the numbers eg M34 would be sent to the office that dealt with the M34 codes and so on Trafford's closest station is Manchester This is why there are various anomalies when postcode and administrative district are compared
They are outside the City of Manchester boundary located in the Borough of Trafford their business rates will be paid to Trafford their event / stadium license is issued by B of Trafford. Postcode is irrelevant as is Greater Manchester They are in Trafford and if they win any trophies in the future and are granted a civic reception it will be at Trafford Town Hall

All these Mediah hacks who state City have broken the rules is beyond me.
Do they have access to information that nobody else has? I only ask because the last time I heard we were charged but umpteen months later we haven't been found guilty of anything. The fact that it's taking so long indicates to me that the PL are having serious difficulties making any charge stick.

Because they are charlatans.

I can read The Athletic (for free)

The article doesn't add too much more but they are looking to have someone in place by January. The low salary and the fact that it is for an initial 12 month stint that may be extended to 18 months suggests that it won't be attracting any big hitters.
 
I reckon the Red mafia would prefer a puppet who can be manipulated, so that salary should provide one no problem. Any recently deposed or disaffected backbencher ought to do it.

That seems a relatively low salary given the importance of the role in a multi-billion pound industry. Doesn't inspire confidence that they're going all out to get the best person for the job.
