City launch legal action against the Premier League | Club & PL reach settlement | Proceedings dropped (p1147)

[Shaggy]

Works with Jordan now.Big change in him.

Hopefully his missus pegs him deep with no lube

 

[Silva61]

It's an old one but Souness sums it all up

Always liked Souness and loved his last sentence.
Think he has a soft spot for City, not sure why, maybe cos we do things right, that or he'll get an ear bashing when he gets home from the misses who I think is a blue.
However he's tarnished his reputation by teaming up with that fuckwit Jordan.

 

[Impeccable One]

Been in hospital for 2 days not seen or heard anything obviously, do we have and good new to report

You’re feeling better and they are letting you out tomorrow, but don’t mix alcohol with medication ….. take them separately [emoji23]

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

I think the mods have missed a trick by not opening a match day thread on it.

"Fucking best lawyers in the world...Lionel Hutz could do better"

"FFS."

"We're getting relegated to the Manchester seniors league aren't we?"

“Rhodri Thompson KC? He’s arguing like he’s Ryan Thompson KC here.”

Really ffs. I don't listen to any of that shite. Jordan is Scottish version of Dunphy here and his act is just to stir controversy, and he can't be taken seriously . As the saying goes, if I was stuck on a desert island with him and a can of corned beef, id eat him and talk to the corned beef

 

[I'm Blue]

Was Stefans latest appearance on TS posted? He makes me warm and fuzzy.

He's changed tune a bit when speaking about the recent APT case. Which is a shame. I'm sure if he had a chat with Stefan he change his mind back.

Fuck you Niall Quinn. Tarnished my arse.

 

[WRicko]

We do not have connections in ownership or board with Etihad as far as I can tell Mudbadala is different and I think they are invested in some companies that sponsors us but not sure who and how that’s all structured

Mahrez gets the time barred rule wrong yet again. Ffs.

 

[KS55]

No, he’s right. That was the purpose all along. They’ll still call us cheats even when we have been cleared. “Clear and organised.”

 

[mancity2012_eamo]

Yes but that was under UefA rules who are still using IAS 24 to identify RPT's not the new bullshit rules installed by the Premier League of APT's with associated underbiddder requirements and City having to proove that the deal is FMV.

Yes that’s how I saw it.
Meaning as things stood without APT, related or not, it was still FMV.

I think you could argue now either way, that they more than got bang for their buck.

Villa and Newcastle should get round the blocks by borrowing from their owners where possible. Worth noting that CFG some time ago arranged a £500m line of credit from a consortium of banks. That money will be used for infrastructure projects both physical and IT which we will use, paying a fee for IT where necessary. There are lots of arrangements possible for beating roadblocks. They need to be creative.
It should be remembered that clubs have just one set of income and any of that which is used for non ffp purposes, leaves more for spend on the team. I read on a site the other day that the poster couldn’t understand why the PL knocking us back would leave less for womens and youth football “because those activities are not subject to ffp.” D’oh.

Clubs can borrow as much as they like but can only spend so much, based on their accumulated profit or loss for the relevant period.

One answer is to allow owners to fund transfer spending but only via equity, and introduce a hard cap for all clubs.

For example wages & amortisation, minus transfer profit, can only be a maximum of £400m averaged over a rolling 3-year period. And debt can only be taken on to fund infrastructure.

I take it that wouldn’t be good for the rags

 

[Skrastins]

Something positive about us?

Correct.

Thought that was far fairer on RTE, than what your used to watching annd elsewhere, even if the assumption of guilt was there still due to the UEFA verdict.
Even Brian Kerr surprised me with his attitude, although I’d say the tact he took was as much to do with the points being driven by Souness and Quinn.
Because normally he’s just a smug gobshite.

 

[Tueartsoverhead kick]

Correct.

That’s why I like you lol

Men against boys

Stefan has the air of a friendly uncle trying to explain something a bit too complicated for his toddler aged nephews to understand. He remains patient as time after time they make points that reveal their lack of understanding and so he tries to explain it again to them a little bit more slowly.
