Enforcing what is perceived as a Salary Cap, illegale in EU - read the article in CIty AM

Although after the Victor, I worked mainly on the RJ, I did some work on the ATP, but mainly on it's predecessor the 748.

As ex-BAe, based at Chadderton, I also make the same association whenever I see APT.

I work at that site now.

Tolmie had a right go at the guy on VAR on X when in fact he ruled in our favour.

You should have heard Alistair Mann on the club feed! Then back tracked quicker than Kyle when it was given!

The pl is a right old mess by allowing the cartel the control Masters

Did a handful of lunchtimes in the Gardeners but we spent more time a bit further afield in the Mucky Duck, on Oldham Road, or one of the pubs at the other end of Greengate, near the Lees brewery. Can't recall the name but The Vine rings a bit of a bell.

The Radcliffe Arms just before the railway bridge

Any details of what that battle might be

I was just about to ask the same q.

As a kid I used to watch the Vulcan bombers fly over our prefab on Victoria avenue east with my dad, side note he used to work at frankensteins rubber flying suits in newton heath, I thought he was taking the piss but it was a real factory.

Boris Karloff and Mary Shelley like this post.

I used to call my dad igor but he always got the hump!

This is like a trip down memory lane of places I used to drink. @Prestwich_Blue The Junction opposite the brewery?

My neck of the woods

Never heard of a pub called the Vine

Within a few minutes walk of the brewery you have the Gardeners Arms, Radclyffe Arms and the Minders Arms. There was the Railway and Linnet and the Firwood Tavern that are now shut

First area I went drinking as as a 16 year old. Railway and Linnet was being re-modelled so did not ask too many questions and could get at least one drink in the Minders arms and one in the Gardeners before being asked to drink up and leave (rinse and repeat each Friday). Think the Radclyffe arms was being rebuilt at the time but may have imagined it.

More legal problems for the PL

ffs can't they just bin the financial controls off. I think everyone is sick of them now

Man City fans aim unsubtle dig at Premier League CEO Richard Masters

MIKE KEEGAN: An emergency summit was held on Tuesday afternoon to try and find peace in City's battle with the top-flight over sponsorship rules.

www.dailymail.co.uk

Is that headline just poorly written or is it deliberately trying to suggest that it's us against the other 19 clubs?

 

[bobbyowenquiff]

The entire article is framed in a manner hostile to City.

It reads like it was drafted by Masters himself.

It is client journalism in sport at its worst.

A despicable biased and dishonest article. The phrase: “City’s lawyers convinced a panel….” sums it up. The ruling that the PL acted unlawfully was made by three independent former High Court Judges who considered evidence for five weeks. This makes SKY look stupid.

 

[bobbyowenquiff]

Without armchair fans there is no Sky. And the rags, dippers and Tarquins (and even Spuds) have a hell of a lot of them.
We may be the most watched team, but I bet we're costing them viewers overall.

SKY have committed commercial suicide and not moved with the times. Even United fans get bored with endless repeats of matches from 30 years ago and no coverage of European games. SKY has backed the wrong horse.

Stopped reading at Abu Dhabi funded

A racist phrase that dehumanises our owner and suggests he can’t invest his own wealth. Apparently people like him are all the same.

 

[TheGoat]

What I don’t understand is how could you possibly judge the fairness of our new sponsorships.

No team has ever sustained this kind of success in the premier league before (6/7 titles). It’s unprecedented what we are doing right now, so there is nothing to compare it too.

Also The Premier League is watched by an unprecedented number of people around the world and the numbers are continually growing.

You can’t just compare the numbers against old sponsorship deals because nobody has ever been in this situation before.
