PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[leithblue]

Can’t remember if it was Naked Video or Absolutely that had the sketch OHBC News every week.
The News Reader used to get angrier and angrier every week at English entitlement.
One that has always stuck in my mind was when he totally lost it and claimed that Britain won the World Cup in 1966!
Funny as fuck.
Yep, Britain has a peculiar singular way of apportioning it’s descriptive nouns.

It’s McGlashan in Absolutely - he’s a bit of a legend

Much ignorance continues to be talked about current socioeconomic conditions and trends in the UEA.

Many things have changed and improved most particularly in the construction industry.

Safety standards are higher than in the west, accommodation is appropriate and practical, and wages are good.

South Asians,Philippineos and other nationals have historically been economic blue collar migrants, as have Italians and Irish.

Dubai has over 180 nationalities as residents from all over the planet, including thousands of British and Americans.

To suggest that the UAE today is dangerously exploitative of migrants is wide of the mark & I'm happy to set the record straight.

They set the ball rolling with labour reforms in 2016 (?). It is now illegal to:
- change the terms of employment before the migrant arrives to fulfil a contract.
- Retain an employee’s passport.
- Refuse to allow an employee to leave in accordance with their contract.
- Attempt to prevent an employee from legally obtaining his exit pass from the police.
Etc etc
Overtime still in need of reform as employers can still insist on extra hours being worked. Domestic servants were included in the follow-up act, but enforcement is weak.
Still some way to go.

Can you imagine a scenario whare Kaldoon goes on record with the statement of "Irrefutable evidence" Where Pep says he would leave if lied to, Where we embark on building a hotel and stadium expansion.

And then the case comes around and we say "no defence".

It's all bollocks.

And what is Lord Pannick going to do for the next 10 weeks with no evidence to present?

FFS Tarquins are very , very desperate.

Like the “substantial” one UEFA used at CAS

Think the level of evidence by both parties is a lot higher then at CAS which was just a 3 day trail (that finished slightly early).

In the same way we can clearly laugh at Arsenal fans claiming we provided no evidence. We have to accept that PL have larger amount of evidence, you can argue over credible etc.

But if you think they just have what CAS have, you are wrong

Yet not one person from that cartel sieve of a governing body has leaked it in over 5 years? Doubtful, and there have been plenty of comings and goings of the PL directors in that time.

 

[Blueskyson]

Surely if the PL won this finished case they they would have announced it by now? It makes little sense for them not too.

I am a City fan and I think we will be found innocent, but I also think we have to be balanced.

There is clearly more being discussed in this case then at CAS.

Our lawyers have agreed to the time frame for the hearing, must think that PL evidence must be at least 2 weeks worth, CAS was 1 day.

As to the question is their a whistleblower or significant credible evidence, we won’t know until after this case as it is confidential until we get the written judgement, so I wouldn’t say there is not one.

However, you are right no one has got public and would take a level of professionalism from the PL and red cartel beyond what they have done before, not to be shouting about it in the press.

But they have very good legal representation who will have advised the best way to do it.

There’s nothing wrong with being confident, I genuinely believe as in all cases we are going in on the basis that it is more likely we have not done it and so PL will need to have good evidence.

But until we actually know what they have (and they obviously have something to show as do we). Then we have no assurance.

I somehow think my point has got lost with people saying we have no defence to certain points, that would be very unlikely at this point.

All evidence is submitted prior to the hearing, city will have known what they had or didnt have prior to going in, they have to know to be able to prepare a defence,, same as the pl will know all we have.

 

[Prophet of Doom]

This Twitter page providing daily ‘leaks’ from the hearing is following the Magic Hat formula of turning up the gas on each post.

Magic hat started out with posts that we are guilty, them to improve on engagement and followers ramped it up to us being relegated. Then had to ramp it up further to being relegated to bottom of the pyramid. Then it was banned from returning for years. Then it was owners must sell. Then it was nobody will give evidence. Then it was clubs not spending this summer so they can mop up the players city are forced to sell etc etc etc.

Everyday is more sensationalised all for engagement.

Both are absolute fantasists.

Is it classed as evidence or allegations?

Saturday's game is off, we have been relegated and are playing Maine Road FC at Brantingham Rd on Wednesday night 7:30, you had better get there early.

When is the tribunal scheduled to finish?

 

[paulchapo]

Never. If we're successful more leaks will come from somewhere and it will start all over again. This shit has been going on for years and everybody is sick to death of it.

 

[SilverFox2]

Sounds completely legit.

Yes, I doubt twitter would allow any hint of possible lies now that Mr Musk is in charge.

I wouldn't say there is not one either but what I will say is this. City have claimed all along that they've done nothing wrong and have evidence to refute the allegations. As things stand, that's good enough for me because they said the same in the lead-up to CAS and came through on that statement. With that in mind, there won't be a whistleblower and there never will be one because if what City are telling us is true then no whistleblower exists. With that in mind, I will say that IMO while the PL will indeed have more "evidence", it will only be evidence that is open to interpretation in many different ways.

Of course, City could be lying to us and are actually guilty as fuck but that's highly unlikely IMO because it would be beyond stupid - and totally unnecessary - to do the things we're accused of.

Universalism = We, the white west, know best and our system and ethics are far superior to anyone else's.

This is cultural imperialism. It's not that far off what people believed back in the day when they went into other countries to save the 'natives' from themselves and introduce them to our 'values' which were of course 'superior'.

The major problem in the world is that the USA, in particular, wants to force its mores on everyone. Even if you think they mean well - which I don't - they have no fucking right to do it. It's like some **** coming into your house and forcing you to redecorate, eat different food and exercise more. You'd tell them to fuck off, wouldn't you? What's the difference?

I take it you're not married then Brian?...;)

Yes, I was only referring to THIS tribunal.
